Network backhaul access
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for altering a point of presence of a user equipment (“
- UE”
), the method comprising;
determining at a backhaul access component that a UE located within a first covered area associated with a first portable cellular network communication system comprises a second point of presence associated with a second portable cellular network communication system, wherein the first portable cellular network communication system independently provides a first cellular network within the first covered area and the second portable cellular network communication system independently provides a second cellular network within a second covered area;
monitoring a backhaul link between the first portable cellular network communication system and the second portable cellular network communication system; and
based at least in part on a determination that the backhaul link between the first portable cellular network communication system and the second portable cellular network communication system does not satisfy a connectivity threshold;
signaling the UE to adjust the second point of presence, andcausing the first portable cellular network communication system to provide the UE with a first point of presence associated with the first portable cellular network communication system.

Abstract
A communication system can provide an independent mobile cellular network to devices within a covered area. In addition, the system can determine whether user equipment within a covered area of the communication system are to have backhaul access to another communication system and/or whether to adjust the point of presence of the user equipment.

11. A system for determining backhaul access, the system comprising one or more processors configured to:
-
determine that a user equipment (“
UE”
) located within a first covered area associated with a first portable cellular network communication system comprises a first point of presence associated with a second portable cellular network communication system, wherein the first portable cellular network communication system independently provides a first movable cellular network within the first covered area and the second portable cellular network communication system independently provides a second movable cellular network within a second covered area; andbased at least in part on one or more backhaul access criteria associated with a backhaul link between the first portable cellular network communication system and the second portable cellular network communication system, cause the first portable cellular network communication system to provide the UE with a second point of presence associated with the first portable cellular network communication system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A first portable cellular network communication system located within a first covered area and configured to generate a first movable cellular network for the first covered area and provide first communication links to one or more first user equipment (“
- UE”
) within the first covered area, the first portable cellular network communication system comprising;a first antenna configured to receive first wireless communications from one or more first UE; one or more processors in communication with the first antenna and configured to process the first wireless communications; and a first data store comprising authentication data of the one or more first UE within the first covered area, wherein the first portable cellular network communication system independently provides the first movable cellular network for the one or more first UE in the first covered area, and wherein the first portable cellular network communication system is configured to; detect a UE of the one or more first UE that includes a first point of presence associated with a second portable cellular network communication system other than the first portable cellular network communication system, and based at least in part on one or more backhaul access criteria associated with a backhaul link between the first portable cellular network communication system and the second portable cellular network communication system, provide the UE with a second point of presence associated with the first portable cellular network communication system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
