Abstract: In this invention, we disclose methods directed toward integrating an ad hoc cellular network into a fixed cellular network. The methods disclosed herein automate the creation and integration of these networks. In additional embodiments, we disclose methods for establishing a stand-alone, ad hoc cellular network. In either of these implementations, we integrate or establish an ad hoc cellular network using mobile ad hoc cellular base stations configured to transmit and receive over a variety of frequencies, protocols, and duplexing schemes. The methods flexibly and dynamically choose an access or backhaul configuration and radio characteristics to optimize network performance. Additional embodiments provide for enhancing an existing network's coverage as needed, establishing a local network in the event of a loss of backhaul coverage to the core network, and providing local wireless access service within the ad hoc cellular network.

Abstract: In this invention we disclose methods of automatically configuring a wireless node when it initially powers on and seeks to integrate into an existing wireless network. The wireless node could be part of an ad hoc, software defined network. One such network could be LTE network. The auto-configuration methods disclosed herein can be executed on wireless nodes throughout their operation. In addition, the methods herein allow a node to intelligently choose which network to join when there is more than one available network. In alternate embodiments, the methods disclosed could be used to create a new configuration based on changed environmental conditions, location or node capability change. These embodiments allow wireless nodes to migrate to better quality connections if they become available.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for incorporating a security gateway within a wireless mesh network. In one embodiment, the wireless mesh network is a heterogeneous mesh network. In one embodiment, a gateway node, which is part of the wireless mesh network, requests a connection to the core network through a security gateway. The security gateway responds by creating an IPSec tunnel and a GRE tunnel within the IPSec tunnel from itself to the gateway node. Once the gateway node is communicatively coupled to the security gateway via secure tunneling, the gateway node sends a mesh routing protocol to the security gateway.

Abstract: A radio resource scheduler at a first base station may be configured to: identify radio frequency resources in use by the first base station, identify radio frequency resources to be reserved as virtual guard bands to reduce adjacent band interference, and install virtual guard band rules for reducing interference with adjacent bands. The virtual guard band information may be hints, allocations, priorities, reservations, or scheduling instructions for avoiding certain radio resources, radio resource blocks, or frequencies.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling a mesh network node to switch from a base station role to a user equipment role relative to a second mesh network node, and vice versa. By switching roles in this manner, the mesh network node may be able to benefit from increased uplink or downlink speed in the new role. This role reversal technique is particularly useful when using wireless protocols such as LTE that are asymmetric and allow differing throughput on uplink and downlink connections. Methods for determining whether to perform role reversal are disclosed, and methods for using role reversal in mesh networks comprising greater than two nodes are also disclosed.

The identifier may be an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). The filter may be a whitelist containing a plurality of IMSIs to be granted service or a blacklist containing a plurality of IMSIs to be denied service, the service request may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) attach request, and the method may further comprise forwarding the message from the first UE to a first mobility management entity (MME) in the first core network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a local evolved packet core (EPC) that interoperates with an eNodeB and a remote EPC. if it is determined that it is possible or likely that the eNodeBs may lose the connection to the remote EPC, or if a connection has been lost, the local EPC may serve as a transparent proxy between the eNodeBs and the remote EPC, identify active sessions and transparently proxy those sessions, destroy or de-allocate unneeded sessions or bearers, and download and synchronize application data and authentication credentials, such as HSS or AAA data, to provide authentication to mobile devices once offline. The use of the local EPC and/or the remote EPC may be toggled, or switched, preemptively or reactively, based on various network conditions. The remote EPC may be disconnected proactively when the local EPC determines that there is no connectivity.
