1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a gateway configured to aggregate a plurality of radio network controllers over a shared radio network controller connection, uplink messages from respective ones of a plurality of small scale base stations configured to perform functions of the plurality of radio network controllers, the uplink messages comprising data from different sources;
aggregating, by the gateway, the uplink messages; and
transmitting, by the gateway, the aggregated uplink messages as a single stream to a mobile switching center (MSC) server via the shared radio network controller connection.

Abstract
A mobile telecommunications architecture is disclosed. A downlink mobile telecommunications signaling message is received via a first communication interface associated with a single shared network controller connection to a mobile switching center (MSC) server. The downlink mobile telecommunications signaling message is mapped to one of a plurality of small scale base stations each of which is configured to perform at least some network controller functions.

8. A mobile telecommunications gateway, comprising:
-
a communication interface associated with a single shared radio network controller connection, wherein the mobile telecommunications gateway aggregates a plurality of radio network controllers over the single shared network controller connection; and a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to; receive from respective ones of a plurality of small scale base stations uplink messages, the uplink messages comprising data from different sources; aggregate the uplink messages; and transmit the aggregated uplink messages as a single stream to a mobile switching center (MSC) server via the single shared radio network controller connection. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having control logic recorded thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method for instrumenting software code in a gateway configured to aggregate a plurality of radio network controllers over a shared radio network controller connection, the method comprising:
-
receiving uplink messages from respective ones of a plurality of small scale base stations configured to perform functions of the plurality of radio network controllers, the uplink messages comprising data from different sources; aggregating the uplink messages; and transmitting the aggregated uplink messages as a single stream to a mobile switching center (MSC) server via the shared radio network controller connection. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
