Abstract: Disclosed within is a communication architecture for medium access control (MAC) layer virtualization, where the architecture is made up of: a MAC layer, a plurality of physical resource blocks (RBs) associated with the MAC layer, a plurality of virtual medium access control (vMAC) layers (each vMAC layer corresponding to a separate service group, where each service group programs its own scheduling logic in each vMAC instance), a plurality of virtual resource blocks (vRBs) associated with each vMAC layer (the vRBs filled with data packets according to the scheduling logic in each vMAC instance), where the MAC layer virtualizes the RBs as vRBs and assigns them to each vMAC layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel base station that has a layer 1-3 protocol stack to control and process incoming/outgoing flows with user equipment (UE) and a Random Access Network (RAN) hypervisor virtualizing one or more instances, each instance corresponding to an active profile associated with the base station. Each such instance is associated with a given profile comprising: (1) an admission control module, (2) a handoff control module, and (3) a scheduling module. Also provided is a controller having: (1) an interface to communicate over a network with such base stations over a communication protocol to send the details of new profiles or modifications of existing profiles to such base stations, (2) a profile management application managing a database of a plurality of active profiles associated with the one or more base stations, and (3) a controller operating system that ensures that no two active profiles in said profile management application create conflicts in any of the one or more base stations.

Abstract: A Femtocell Access Point (FAP) is used to provision a ticket number service. Customers approach the FAP and are given a ticket number indicating their place in the queue through an SMS message. Follow up SMS messages are sent updating the customer of their current position in line, as well as when it is their turn. Statistics may be generated from information gathered at the FAP and sent to an external client module.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for automatically managing one or more operations of one or more IPTVs located in a femtocell network. The femtocell network includes one or more femtocell base stations. The one or more femtocell base stations determine presence information of one or more mobile stations located in the femtocell network. Thereafter, the one or more femtocell base stations transfer the presence information to a controller. In response to receiving the presence information of the one or more mobile stations, the controller manages the one or more operations of the one or more IPTVs.

Abstract: A method is provided for a Voice over IP (VoIP) Operator to enable another entity, the call branding company, to offer a phone service of its own brand using that VoIP service company's physical service infrastructure which includes, for example, the VoIP client application, the VoIP network elements, and provisioning, billing and ordering systems, the method including the steps of receiving an incoming VoIP call over a network from a caller's VoIP client, matching one or more parameters of the incoming call against one or more call branding activation triggers; and, in the event of a match, applying call branding to the VoIP call as specified by a call branding configuration profile associated with the matched call branding activation trigger.
