  • Publication number: 20230254212
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for service policy orchestration in a communication network. Executing a service policy in the communication network may include, at a service policy execution factory (SPEF), initiating a service policy request, evaluating the service policy request, selecting a unique service event identifier (ID) from a service repository, creating, based on the evaluating, a distributed service event object, where the creating includes defining dynamic elements to be included in the distributed service event object, sending the distributed service event object with the unique service event ID to an event broker that forwards, based on the distributed service event object, operator specific event data to one or more operator access domains, and in response to receiving from the event broker a new service event object, processing the received new service event object, and updating information associated with a corresponding operator access domain (OAD) based on the processing.

  • Patent number: 11671326
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for service policy orchestration in a communication network. Orchestrating a service policy in a communication network may include, receiving first service event related data, with the first service event related data including data that defines an update of a current service execution policy; selecting an operator access domain linked to the first service event related data for executing a service linked to the service policy; sending to the operator access domain the first service event related data and an operator specific service identifier linked to a respective operator access domain; receiving first feedback data set from the operator access domain; and processing the first feedback data set.

  • Patent number: 11336526
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for service policy orchestration in a communication network. Orchestrating a service policy in a communication network may include, in response to receiving a service instance object and a first service event object; updating a service repository with the first service event object and the service instance object; selecting based on a first mapping table, at least one operator access domain linked to the first service event object for executing a service linked to the service policy; sending the first service event object and an operator specific service identifier to the selected at least one operator access domain, to allow the at least one operator access domain to update its service repository; receiving a first feedback data set from the at least one operator access domain; and updating a second mapping table with at least some data from the first feedback data set.

  • Patent number: 10917480
    Abstract: A method includes: (a) setting up a service orchestration rule set between a home operator and a sponsor service provider, managing a service domain for obtaining a data structure for a service definition object; (b) receiving a list of available services from the sponsor service provider; (c) receiving a subscriber selection of at least one service from the list; (d) adding a first set of data including subscriber specific data to the service definition object; (e) sending a service creation request to the sponsor service provider for subscribing to the selected service; and (f) receiving a response from the sponsor service provider including the service definition object complemented with a second set of data to allow the selected service to be executed.
