First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- subscribing, by a radio access network (RAN), with each of a plurality evolved packet cores (EPCs) for a service via a federation bus between the RAN and a corresponding EPC, wherein the federation bus connects a service bus of the RAN and a service bus of the corresponding EPC, and wherein the service includes load information of the corresponding EPC; and
receiving, by the RAN, information of a subscribed service from a corresponding EPC in the plurality of EPCs via the federation bus.

Abstract
A system and method of provides services including a federated service bus between distributed and evolved packet core (EPC) and a radio access network (RAN), wherein the federated service bus provides information based on a parent-child relationship between the EPC and RAN on a per-federated service basis. The information can include loading and location information.
