Patent number: 11943637Abstract: Disclosed is a system and methods for creating and maintaining a virtual subnetwork of telecommunication base stations within a wider telecommunication network. In an LTE-based example, the subnetwork includes a connection aggregator that is coupled between the plurality of eNodeBs internal to the subnetwork and one or more MMEs in the outer network. The connection aggregator intercepts all control plane messages between the MMEs and the internal eNodeBs, remaps eNodeB identifiers, and transmits repackaged messages so that the outer network sees the entire subnetwork as a single “giant” eNodeB. The disclosed system and methods enables the operator of the virtual subnetwork to add and shut down eNodeBs as demand for connectivity fluctuates, and to do so such that all changes are unseen by the outer network.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: JOHN MEZZALINGUA ASSOCIATES, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Michael Courington, Vishal Agrawal, Sasi Eswaravaka, Massimo Notargiacomo, Stephen Turner, Patrick William Henkle

Publication number: 20230224762Abstract: Disclosed is a system for tracking and dynamically allocating wireless capacity within a wireless telecommunications network. The system has a plurality of processor levels: a layer of baseband-level capacity processors that are deployed within each baseband processor; a layer of client-level capacity processors that are deployed within each wireless base station; a layer of server-level capacity processors, each of which orchestrate allocation of wireless capacity over a unique domain of wireless base stations; and a master level capacity processor. Wireless capacity is allocated in terms of active connections to wireless devices, and the active connections are quantized and allocated as logical connections, or connection tokens. The system dynamically allocates wireless capacity so that resources are devoted to venues and environments where demand is greatest at any given time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Sasi ESWARAKAVA, Vishal Agrawal, John Blasko, Gilberto Brizzi, Todd E.
