Abstract: It is provided a method, comprising monitoring if a request for granting a requested quota for a subscriber is received; calculating a quota consumption speed based on a consumption of a previous quota granted to the subscriber and a duration during which the previous quota is consumed; determining a determined quota size based on the quota consumption speed; granting a granted quota to the subscriber in response to the received request, wherein the granted quota has the determined quota size.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software of managing bandwidth allocated to User Equipment (UE). In one embodiment, a bandwidth management system collects cell load information for a plurality of cells within a Radio Access Network (RAN), and processes the cell load information to determine a cell load status for each of the cells. The system performs bandwidth throttling for the UE by determining a location of the UE, identifying the cell load status for one or more cells in a region of the RAN corresponding with the location of the UE, determining whether the region of the RAN is overloaded based on the cell load status, and controlling a downgrade of bandwidth allocated to the UE in the RAN responsive to a determination that the region is overloaded.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for controlling communication of a user terminal in a communication system are provided. The solution comprises determining that a data connection of an access point name or data network name of the user terminal does not fulfil a predetermined condition, and transmitting to a network unit maintaining information on subscriber information of users of the network a message on the basis of determination, the message indicating the access point name or data network name of the user terminal is to be deactivated or the data connection of the access point name or data network name is to be directed to a predetermined server.

Abstract: A method for managing a Sponsored Data Plan (SDP) is provided in a mobile telecommunications network. The method includes: receiving a first request for an initial charging policy report in response to a detection of a user's data session with an Application Server (AS) (14) of a content provider; sending, in response to the first request, the requested initial charging policy report toward a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) (16) such that the PCRF (16) selects a first Policy Charging Control Rule (PCC-Rule) in accordance with the report for enforcement at a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF); receiving a second request to perform an online subscription of the user to the SDP; and sending, in response to the second request, information about the SDP toward the PCRF (16) such that the PCRF (16) selects a second PCC-Rule in accordance with the information for enforcement at the PCEF.

Abstract: A method is provided for creating a configurable workflow in a mobile telecommunications network ecosystem including a plurality of diverse ecosystem components (400). The method includes: establishing a pipeline (200) that defines the workflow through which a user's data session is processed; and defining a set of workers (202) within the pipeline (200) that sequentially interact in real time with the ecosystem components (400).
