Patent number: 10021725Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow inter-working between communication networks for the delivery of service to mobile nodes. A gateway is provided that communicates with a femto cell to extend service to an area that otherwise does not receive coverage from a service provider. The femto cell is a small scale base station used to provide coverage over a small area (such as a home or business), and connect to a home or enterprise network. The femto cell provides service for a mobile node and a gateway permits communication over a broadband network. The gateway integrates the mobile nodes connecting via a femto cell into the service provider's network. The gateway also allows provisioning of services and applications, control of service levels, and provides seamless handoffs to marco base stations and other types of access technologies such as Wi-Fi.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Spinelli, John Depietro, Vijay Kathuria, Mohan Rangan, Rajat Ghai, Ashraf M.

Publication number: 20180069901Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing cloud-based virtual local networks. A computerized method for providing cloud-based virtual local networks includes receiving at a network gateway a request for a network address from a network switch, communicating with a user device management entity (uDME) server to authorize the network switch, receiving an authorization response from the uDME server for the network switch, receiving a network address pool at the network gateway from the uDME server, and creating at the network gateway a virtual home router containing a virtual home router context that is unique to the virtual home router and associated with the network address pool.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Inventors: Rajat GHAI, David F. CALLAN, Rajendar DUGGAL, Swarup SAHOO, Shawn LEWIS, John DEPIETRO, Patrick BOWEN, Ramesh GUPTA

Patent number: 7372826Abstract: Advanced communications features are provided in a mobile communications network having at least one mobile switching center and at least one mobile station subsystem. The mobile switching center and mobile station subsystem each communicate signaling messages according to a mobile signaling protocol. An indication is received that a half-duplex mobile communications session is to be initiated between a first mobile station subsystem and a second mobile station subsystem. The first and second mobile station subsystems include full-duplex communications apparatus for use in full-duplex mobile communications sessions. The half-duplex mobile communications session relies on the first and second mobile station subsystems, and all of the reliance is only on the full-duplex communications apparatus. Mobile communications telephone calls are established with the first mobile station subsystem and the second mobile station subsystem.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2002Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Starent Networks, Corp.Inventors: Ashraf M.
