Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving at least one first input indicating at least one network condition associated with a first user device having a user associated therewith. The first user device has a first bearer channel established between the first user device and a gateway, and the first bearer channel has a first quality of service level. The method further includes determining whether to modify the first user device to a second quality of service level based upon the received at least one first input, and sending a first request to a first network element instructing the first network element to modify the first user device to the second quality of service level.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving a request for a service from a requestor, an determining at least a first network element and at least a second network element required to satisfy the request from among a plurality of network elements. The method further includes triggering a coordinating of a work flow between the first network element and the second network element responsive to the request. The method still further includes translating communication messages exchanged between the first network element and the second network element from a first communication protocol format and a second communication protocol format.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving data from a network element, determining a candidate data processing task for the received data based upon a first similarity metric between the received data and data currently associated with the candidate data processing task, and sending the received data to the candidate data processing task.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving data from a mobile network entity, parsing the data to determine a first identity and first attribute information associated with the first identity, determining whether the first identity exists in a database, storing the first identity in the database if the first identity does not exist in the database, and storing the first attribute information in association with the first identity in the database. The method further includes determining whether there is at least one identity related to the first identity in the database, and updating each of the related identities with the first attribute information when it is determined that there is at least one identity.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing web authentication of mobile wireless devices that roam from a wireless wide area network to a wireless local area network. A redirect rule is invoked when a request is received from the mobile wireless device for world wide web access in order to obtain authentication for the mobile wireless device before permitting world wide web access. When a world wide web access request is received from the mobile wireless device, it is redirected to an authentication portal to allow a user of the mobile wireless device to enter user credentials to allow for world wide web access using the IP address.
