DYNAMIC ALLOCATION AND VIRTUALIZATION OF NETWORK RESOURCES IN THE ACCESS NETWORK AND IN CUSTOMER NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically allocating network resources in an access network and a customer network, comprising:
- determining, by a control unit, positions of all users of the customer network;
bringing, by the control unit, the customer network and/or a component of the customer network into a first predefined state, based on determining that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network; and
reallocating, by the control unit, an access port of an access multiplexer assigned to the customer network to an access network resource pool, based on determining that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network.

Abstract
A method of dynamically allocating network resources in an access network and a customer network includes: determining, by a control unit, positions of all users of the customer network; bringing, by the control unit, the customer network and/or a component of the customer network into a first predefined state, based on determining that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network; and reallocating, by the control unit, an access port of an access multiplexer assigned to the customer network to an access network resource pool, based on determining that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network.

7. A method of dynamically controlling network resources in a data network, comprising:
-
load-adaptive switching and/or transferring network capacity in all network sections of the data network, the data network being a core network, on the basis of currently available capacity; wherein the currently available capacity is determined taking into account allocated and/or deallocated access ports of at least one customer network and/or taking into account users checked in to the at least one mobile radio network but not checked in to the at least one customer network.

8. A system for dynamically allocating net resources in an access network and a customer network, comprising:
-
a device for determining positions of all users of the customer network; a device for bringing the customer network and/or a component of the customer network into a first predefined state, if it is determined that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network; and a device for deallocating at least one access port of an access multiplexer assigned to the customer network to the access network, if it is determined that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for dynamically controlling network resources in a data network, comprising:
-
a device for the load-adaptive switching and/or transferring network capacity in all network sections of a data network, the data network being a core network, on the basis of currently available capacity, wherein the currently available capacity is determined taking into account allocated and/or deallocated access ports of at least one customer network and/or taking into account users checked in to at least one mobile radio network but not checked in to at least one customer network

15. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for dynamically allocating network resources in an access network and a customer network, the processor-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, facilitating performance of the following:
-
determining positions of all users of the customer network; bringing the customer network and/or a component of the customer network into a first predefined state, based on determining that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network; and reallocating an access port of an access multiplexer assigned to the customer network to an access network resource pool, based on determining that no user of the customer network is checked in to the customer network.
