Abstract
A method, computer-readable medium and system are presented for providing prioritized connectivity service based on geography using a HetNet Gateway (HNG). In one embodiment, the method includes specifying a location and time where an event will take place; specifying a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event; generating a prioritization profile for the event; providing prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile; and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions when the prioritization performance is not met.
Claims20
A method for providing prioritized connectivity service based on geography, the method comprising:
- identifying, at a Self-Organizing Network (SON) server, a location and time where an event will take place;
- identifying, at the Self-Organizing Network (SON) server, a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event;
- generating a prioritization profile for the event;
- providing prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile;
- pushing the prioritization profile to a radio access network (RAN) network node;
- receiving, at the SON server, a connect event of the UE, the UE's IMSI, and a RAN ID;
- determining, at the SON server, whether the traffic prioritization profile is enabled for the RAN ID at current time;
- upon determining that prioritization is enabled, the SON server, sending a prioritization start message and the UE IMSI;
- and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions upon determining the prioritization performance is not met.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for core prioritized connectivity service based on geography which, when executed, causes a system node to perform steps comprising:
- identifying, at the system node, a location and time where an event will take place;
- identifying, at the system node, a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event;
- generating, a prioritization profile for the event;
- providing, prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile;
- pushing the prioritization profile from the system node to a radio access network (RAN) network node;
- receiving, at the system node, a connect event of the UE, the UE's IMSI, and a RAN ID;
- determining, at the SON server, whether the traffic prioritization profile is enabled for the RAN ID at current time;
- upon determining that prioritization is enabled, the SON server, sending a prioritization start message and the UE IMSI;
- and
- and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions upon determining the prioritization performance is not met.
A system for providing prioritized connectivity service based on geography using a Self-Organizing Network (SON), the system comprising:
- a SON server;
- and a network device;
- the SON server configured to receive a location and time where an event will take place and for receiving a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event;
- the network device configured to generate a prioritization profile for the event;
- the network device configured to provide prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile;
- the SON server configured to receiving a connect event of the UE, the UE's IMSI, and a RAN ID;
- the SON server configured to determine whether the traffic prioritization profile is enabled for the RAN ID at current time;
- the SON server configured to determine that prioritization is enabled and send a prioritization start message and the UE IMSI;
- and
- the network device configured to monitor prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions when the prioritization performance is not met.
