Abstract: A topology-reprogrammable test environment is provided that can support the needs of CI/CD/CV in the field. The system disclosed provides a highly scalable network architecture to simplify the implementation of network slicing, TaaS and network CI/CD, and solves problems related to the complexity of cloud-native network (CNN) deployments. A Network Cell (NC), comprises or consists of a Containerized Network Function (CNF), a Containerized Digital Twin (CDT), and a Containerized Test Agent (CTA). The CDT has at least two personalities, e.g., an emulator of the CNF in the same NC or a nodal of the CNF. The choice of personality of the CDT is controlled by the CTA of the NC. A number of NCs use a 3D IP address to interconnect and form a new kind of CNN over the infrastructure of VRs.

Abstract: A system for providing a mobile data service to a mobile device over a fixed wireless data network comprises an enterprise network having a WLAN. An enterprise Mobile Access Controller, configured to provide IP connections to the enterprise network and mobile devices, coupled between the enterprise network and a Mobile Wireless Data Network. The enterprise Mobile Access Controller is further coupled, via a first IPTN, to an enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway resident in the MWDN. Additionally, the enterprise Mobile Access Controller is coupled, via a second IPTN, to an enterprise Mobile User-plane Aggregator configured to provide IP connections to the Mobile Wireless Data Network. The enterprise Mobile Access Controller is further configured to receive a first control-plane data from the enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway, via the first IPTN, wherein the first control-plane data at least provides configuration and management instructions to the enterprise Mobile Access Controller.

Abstract: A system and a method for providing a mobile data service to a mobile device over a fixed wireless data network wherein the system comprises an enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway coupled to a Public Land Mobile Network, an enterprise Mobile Access Controller resident within the fixed wireless data network. The system further comprises an enterprise Mobile User-plane Aggregator coupled to 1) the Public Land Mobile Network, 2) the fixed wireless data network and the enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway. The enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway at least establishes an IP tunnel to the enterprise Mobile Access Controller, determines whether a mobile device coupled to the Public Land Mobile Network is registered, directs the establishment of multiple IP tunnels between the mobile device and the network elements of the system, and directs pathways for communicating user-plane and control-plane data between trusted or untrusted transport networks.

Abstract: A method for communicating in an enterprise network includes determining that a mobile device generating a communication request has an assigned enterprise voice number; and based in part on determining that the mobile device has an assigned enterprise voice number, establishing the requested communication over the enterprise network. A system for communicating over an enterprise network includes an enterprise voice number registry that maps enterprise voice numbers to mobile devices registered on the enterprise network, and an enterprise mobile switching center operable to query the enterprise voice number registry to determine if a mobile device is registered and further operable to determine that a communication requested by the mobile device should be established over the enterprise network based on the determination that the mobile device is registered. The enterprise network may be managed by the enterprise operator to satisfy enterprise network users.
