OAMP FOR DISTRIBUTED MOBILE ARCHITECTURE
First Claim
1. A method of routing calls via a communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a first call at a first distributed mobile architecture gateway (dMAG) from a legacy communication network, the first call placed to a mobile station accessible via the first dMAG;
determining a routing path for the first call based on register data associated with the mobile station, the routing path including at least one component of the first dMAG, at least one component of a first dMA node, and at least one component of a private Internet Protocol (IP) network;
sending one or more command messages to reserve the at least one component of the first dMAG, the at least one component of the first dMA node, and the at least one component of a private Internet Protocol (IP) network along the routing path;
receiving one or more confirmation messages indicating that the at least one component of the first dMAG, the at least one component of the first dMA node, and the at least one component of the private IP network are reserved to route the first call; and
connecting the first call to the mobile station via the reserved at least one component of the first dMAG, the reserved at least one component of the first dMA node, and the reserved at least one component of the private IP network.

Abstract
A method of routing calls includes receiving a first call at a first distributed mobile architecture gateway (dMAG) from a legacy communication network. A routing path for the first call is determined based on register data associated with a mobile station, the routing path including at least one component of each of the first dMAG, a first dMA node, and a private Internet Protocol (IP) network. One or more command messages are sent to reserve the components of the first dMAG, the first dMA node, and the private Internet Protocol (IP) network. One or more confirmation messages are received indicating that components of the first dMAG, the first dMA node, and the private IP network are reserved to route the first call. The first call is connected to the mobile station via the reserved components of the first dMAG, the first dMA node, and the private IP network.

12. A distributed mobile architecture gateway (dMAG), comprising:
-
a data storage device; a legacy network interface adapted to communicate with a legacy communication network; a home distributed mobile architecture (dMA) register including a list of a first group of dMA nodes, wherein the dMAG is designated to route calls directed to one or more mobile stations served by the first group of dMA nodes and to store performance data associated with each dMA node of the first group of dMA nodes; a visitor dMA register including a list of a second group of dMA nodes, wherein each dMA node of the second group of dMA nodes is roaming with respect to the dMAG and the dMAG is adapted to temporarily route calls directed to one or more mobile stations served by the second group of dMA nodes; a master agent adapted to receive performance data from each dMA node of the first group of dMA nodes and each dMA node of the second group of dMA nodes; and an operations module adapted to; store the performance data from each dMA node of the first group of dMA nodes in the data storage device; and send the performance data from each dMA node of the second group of dMA nodes to one or more additional dMAGs via a private IP network; wherein at least a portion of the calls routed by the dMAG are communicated via the legacy network interface. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method of routing calls via a communications network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a resource allocation query command message at a first distributed mobile architecture (dMA) node from a first distributed mobile architecture gateway (dMAG), the first dMA node roaming with respect to the first dMAG and the resource allocation query being related to a call directed to a mobile station adapted to communicate via the first dMA node; sending a response message to the first dMAG from the first dMA node, response message indicating that one or more components of the first dMA node are reserved for the call; receiving one or more packets related to the call at the first dMA node from the first dMAG via a private Internet Protocol (IP) network; sending one or more signals associated with the one or more packets related to the call to the mobile stations via a wireless transceiver integrated with the first dMA node. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A distributed mobile architecture (dMA) node, comprising:
-
a data network connection adapted to communicate with a private Internet protocol (IP) network; and a performance module adapted to; send first performance data to a first distributed mobile architecture gateway (dMAG) via the private IP network when the dMA node is in a first communication range of the first dMAG, the first performance data related to components of the dMA node and related to first calls routed via the dMA node when the dMA node is in the first communication range; and send second performance data to a second dMAG via the private IP network when the dMA node is in a second communication range of the second dMAG, the second performance data related to components of the dMA node and related to second calls routed via the dMA node when the dMA node is in the second communication range; wherein the dMA node is included in a home dMA register of the first dMAG when the dMA node is in the first communication range and when the dMA node is in the second communication range and wherein the dMA node is included in a visitor dMA register of the second dMAG when the dMA node is in the second communication range. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48)
