First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication system comprising:
- at least two service controllers;
a network, coupled to the at least two service controllers;
a plurality of local resource controllers, coupled to the network, arranged and constructed to receive a service request from a communication unit, identify at least one routing criteria of a plurality of routing criteria, select one of the at least two service controllers by applying the at least one routing criteria, and forward the service request to the selected one of the at least two service controllers via the network;
at least one repeater from a plurality of radio frequency (RF) repeaters, coupled to each of the plurality of local resource controllers, wherein the plurality of RF repeaters sources a plurality of RF communication resources.

Abstract
A local resource controller (409) from among a plurality of local resource controllers, receives a service request sourced by a communication unit (411). The local resource controller (409) selects (503) any one of at least two service controllers (301, 303, 305) where the service request is to be routed. The service request is routed to the first service controller (505) via a network (307), which is coupled to the service controllers (301, 303, 305) and the plurality of local resource controllers (409).

2. In a communication system comprising at least two service controllers, a network, a plurality of local resource controllers, and a plurality of radio frequency (RF) repeaters that source a plurality of RF communication resources, a method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, by a local resource controller of the plurality of local resource controllers, a service request sourced by a communication unit; identifying at least one routing criteria of a plurality of routing criteria; selecting, by the local resource controller, from among the at least two service controllers, a first service controller by applying the at least one routing criteria to the service request; routing the service request to the first service controller, such that subsequently at least one of the plurality of RF communication resources is allocated to fulfill the service request. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. In a communication system comprising at least two service controllers, a network, a plurality of local resource controllers, and a plurality of repeaters that source a plurality of communication resources, a method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, by a local resource controller of the plurality of local resource controllers, a service request sourced by a communication unit; identifying at least one of a plurality of routing criteria; selecting, by the local resource controller, from among the at least two service controllers, a first service controller by applying the at least one of the plurality of routing criteria to the service request; routing the service request to the first service controller; determining which of the plurality of local resource controllers is needed to complete the service request and routing service instructions to the local resource controllers needed to complete the service request; and determining, by the local resource controllers needed to complete the service request, what communication resources are needed to be assigned to support the service requested by the communication unit. - View Dependent Claims (24)
