Smart radio area network for wireless distributed cloud computing
First Claim
1. A smart Radio Access Network (RAN) node for wireless distributed cloud computing with a User Equipment (UE), the smart RAN node in communication with at least a Wi-Fi network and an LTE network, the smart RAN node comprising:
- a network interface unit of the smart RAN node that communicates with at least the Wi-Fi and LTE networks; and
a processing unit of the smart RAN node configured to perform packet inspection on data sent and received as packets between an access point and core network components through the smart RAN node,the processing unit being further configured to choose which of the Wi-Fi and LTE networks to use to send and receive the data to and from the access point at a given time based on loading condition of each radio access network technology, user'"'"'s application/service requirements and user'"'"'s policy.

Abstract
A smart RAN for wireless distributed cloud computing with a UE, the RAN in communication with a Wi-Fi network, an LTE network and a 3G network. The RAN includes a network interface unit that communicates with the Wi-Fi, LTE in 3G networks. The RAN includes a processing unit which chooses which of the Wi-Fi, LTE and 3G networks to use to send and receive data at a given time based on loading condition of each radio access network technology, user'"'"'s application/service requirements and user'"'"'s policy. A method for sending and receiving data of a smart RAN for wireless distributed cloud computing with an UE and the RAN that is simultaneously in communication with a Wi-Fi network, an LTE network and a 3G network.
