1. A method to configure a virtual private mobile network, the method comprising:
- determining, at a wireless mobile network, that communications from a mobile device communicatively coupled to the wireless mobile network are latency sensitive communications by comparing the communications to a latency routing rule;
in response to determining that the communications are latency sensitive communications,allocating a portion of a control plane of a network element to host a first virtual private mobile network by associating a portion of an Internet Protocol address space with the first virtual private mobile network, referencing the portion of the Internet Protocol address space to a first access point name, and virtualizing functionality of the network element;
allocating a portion of a data pane of the network element to host the first virtual private mobile network by configuring a second aspect of the network element, the network element being a part of the wireless mobile network; and
migrating the mobile device from a second virtual private mobile network to the first virtual private mobile network to reduce latency of the latency sensitive communications of the mobile device.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to configure virtual private mobile networks for latency are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes provisioning logically a virtual private mobile network within a wireless network to reduce latency of a communication associated with a latency sensitive application, determining a mobile device is communicatively coupling to the wireless network via the latency sensitive application, and coupling the mobile device to the virtual private mobile network to reduce latency of the communication associated with the latency sensitive application.

10. A wireless mobile network including:
-
a processor; and a memory having computer readable instructions stored therein which, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations including; determining that communications from a mobile device communicatively coupled to the wireless mobile network are latency sensitive communications by comparing the communications to a latency routing rule; in response to determining that the communications are latency sensitive communications, allocating a portion of a control plane of a network element to host a first virtual private mobile network by associating a portion of an Internet Protocol address space with the first virtual private mobile network, referencing the portion of the Internet Protocol address space to a first access point name, and virtualizing functionality of the network element; allocating a portion of a data plane of the network element to host the first virtual private mobile network by configuring a second aspect of the network element, the network element being a part of the wireless mobile network; and migrating the mobile device from a second virtual private mobile network to the first virtual private mobile network to reduce latency of the latency sensitive communications of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A tangible computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a processor of a wireless mobile network to perform operations including:
-
determining that a communication from a mobile device communicatively coupled to the wireless mobile network is a latency sensitive communication by comparing the communications to a latency routing rule; in response to determining that the communication is a latency sensitive communication, allocating a portion of a control plane of a network element to host a first virtual private mobile network by associating a portion of an Internet Protocol address space with the first virtual private mobile network, referencing the portion of the Internet Protocol address space to a first access point name, and virtualizing functionality of the network element; allocating a portion of a data plane of the network element to host the first virtual private mobile network by configuring a second aspect of the network element to host the first virtual private mobile network, the network element being a part of the wireless mobile network; and migrating the mobile device from a second virtual private mobile network to the first virtual private mobile network to reduce latency of the latency sensitive communication of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
