Methods, apparatus and systems for mobile cloud bursting

Abstract

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are provided to implement management of a mobile network computing resources (MNCRs) in, e.g., a core network entity of a mobile network. The core network (CN) entity may detect a condition related to the MNCR. The condition may be indicative of, for example, an overload of a computing resource in the CN entity of the mobile network. Based on the detected condition, the CN entity may generate a cloud computing resource (CCR) request. The CN entity may transmit the CCR request. The CN entity may generate a provisioning request. The CN entity may redirect a service request to the CCR. The CN entity may transfer one or more sessions to the CCR. If a condition detected at the CN entity is a security threat, the CN entity may transfer the sessions to a CCR.
