Problems solved by technology

However, the ability to provide this functionality to VNOs is hampered
Specifically, the PCC entity in the 3GPP LTE-EPC network cannot communicate with some components outside the network, which makes it difficult to identify available resources to the VNO

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention provides systems and methods for extending services provided by today's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to Long Term Evolution - Evolved Packet Core (LTE-EPC) infrastructure. More specifically, the present invention abstracts resources provided by one or more network nodes or other elements of an LTE-EPC network into a Virtual Resource Object (VRO). Different network operators can then use these VROs to build and maintain virtual networks. Thus, the present invention allows multiple network operators to create independent networks using the same network resources.

[0023] One embodiment of the present invention provides a network resource module that communicatively connects an IaaS management controller and policy, charging and control (PCC) nodes within an LTE-EPC infrastructure. Such PCC nodes include, for example, Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Service Awareness Support Node (SASN), Packet Data Network Gateway (PDN-GW), Policy and Charging ...

Abstract

A network resource module communicatively interfaces a resource manager with one or more network nodes in a communications network. Each network node provides one or more network resources that may be used to create a virtual infrastructure for a virtual network. The network resource module detects the network nodes, abstracts the resources associated with the network nodes at a desired granularity (e.g., node level or flow level) into Virtual Resource Objects (VROs), and then publishes the VROs in a registry. Thereafter, Virtual Network Operators (VROs) select desired VROs from the registry to build the virtual infrastructure for the virtual network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to communication networks and, in particular, to adapting Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) management middleware to communicate with network nodes of a communication network. Background technique [0002] "Cloud" generally refers to on-demand computing resources available to users over a computing network, such as the Internet. Cloud computing increases capacity and computing power for users while relieving users of the responsibilities and costs associated with the installation and maintenance of resources. These benefits stem from the fact that the resources (eg, hardware, software, and infrastructure) comprising the "cloud" are web-based and do not reside on the user's computing device. [0003] A "Telco-Cloud" is similar to a cloud, but refers to resources in a communications network such as the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network architecture, and has its own unique set of req...
