Traffic hub system for providing roaming service in a wireless environment
First Claim
1. A traffic hub system for determining a quality of service for a mobile device registered with a home wireless network and roaming with a roaming wireless network, the roaming wireless network being different than the home wireless network, comprising:
- a roaming data module configured to send data to and receive data from the roaming wireless network;
a home data module configured to send data to and receive data from the home wireless network for the mobile device;
a bandwidth negotiation module configured to determine a bandwidth for a service requested by the mobile device with the roaming wireless network by executing the steps comprising;
providing a bit rate request to a service delivery platform server for an allowed bit rate associated with the service based on the policy of the home network;
receiving, from the service delivery platform server, an allowed bit rate for the service in response to the bit rate request;
providing a create request to the home wireless network based on the allowed bit rate for the service; and
providing a create response to the roaming wireless network based on the allowed bit rate for the service, wherein the roaming wireless network creates a general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel for the service allowing the service to upload or download data at the allowed bit rate.

Abstract
A traffic hub system comprising a roaming data module to send and receive data for a roaming wireless network for a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a service utilizing a high-speed data network, a home data module to send and receive data for a home wireless network for the mobile device, the home wireless network being a different network than the roaming wireless network, the home wireless network comprising a packet data network gateway. The traffic hub system in one embodiment provides a static policy-based HTTP redirection. The traffic hub system in one embodiment, provides a dynamic policy based redirection. The traffic hub system in on embodiment, provides a seamless captive portal access. The traffic hub system in one embodiment provides data-offloading.

9. A method for determining a quality of service for a mobile device registered with a home wireless network and roaming with a roaming wireless network, the roaming wireless network being different than the home wireless network, the method comprising:
-
providing a data hub system in communication with the home wireless network and the roaming wireless network; transmitting data to and receiving data from the roaming wireless network, the steps of transmitting data and receiving data being performed by the traffic hub system; transmitting data to and receiving data from the home wireless network, the steps of transmitting data and receiving data being performed by the traffic hub system; negotiating with the roaming wireless network a bandwidth for a service requested by the mobile device, wherein the bandwidth is negotiated by executing the steps comprising; providing a bit rate request to a service delivery platform server for an allowed bit rate associated with the service based on the policy of the home network; receiving, from the service delivery platform server, an allowed bit rate for the service in response to the bit rate request; providing a create request to the home wireless network based on the allowed bit rate for the service; and providing a create response to the roaming wireless network based on the allowed bit rate for the service, wherein the roaming wireless network creates a general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel for the service allowing the service to upload or download data at the allowed bit rate. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
-
transmitting data to and receiving data from the roaming wireless network; transmitting data to and receiving data from the home wireless network; negotiating with the roaming wireless network a bandwidth for a service requested by the mobile device, wherein the bandwidth is negotiated by executing the steps comprising; providing a bit rate request to a service delivery platform server for an allowed bit rate associated with the service based on the policy of the home network; receiving, from the service delivery platform server, an allowed bit rate for the service in response to the bit rate request; providing a create request to the home wireless network based on the allowed bit rate for the service; and providing a create response to the roaming wireless network based on the allowed bit rate for the service, wherein the roaming wireless network creates a general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel for the service allowing the service to upload or download data at the allowed bit rate. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
