Abstract

An exemplary system according to the present disclosure comprises at least one mobility networking module implemented in at least one lower tier radiolet. The mobility network module performs one or more traffic data plane functions. The exemplary system further comprises at least one mobility application module implemented in at least one upper tier radiolet. The mobility application module performs one or more application data plane functions. The exemplary system further comprises at least one mobility cloud module implemented in the at least one lower tier radiolet and the at least one upper tier radiolet. The mobility cloud module performs computing execution functions of a cloud session.

Claims (33)

at least one mobility networking module implemented in at least one lower tier radiolet server, the at least one lower tier radiolet server comprising at least one memory and at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one mobility network module to perform one or more traffic data plane functions, wherein the at least one lower tier radiolet server communicates with the network, and the traffic data plane functions comprise one or more of encapsulating and tunneling traffic data packets, traffic data packet delivery, and traffic data packet management;

at least one mobility application module implemented in at least one upper tier radiolet server, the at least one lower tier radiolet server comprising at least one memory and at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one mobility network module to perform one or more application data plane functions, wherein the at least one upper tier radiolet server communicates with the application cloud, and the application data plane functions comprise one or more of application hosting, application management, and application data distribution; and

at least one mobility cloud module implemented in the at least one lower tier radiolet server and the at least one upper tier radiolet server, the servers comprising at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one mobility cloud module to perform computing execution functions of a cloud session, wherein the computing execution functions comprise one or more of implementation of cloud containerization and implementation of a virtualized cloud session.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one interconnect module implemented in the at least one lower tier radiolet server and the at least one upper tier radiolet server, the servers comprising at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one interconnect module to perform communication functions;

at least one solution module implemented in the at least one lower tier radiolet server and the at least one upper tier radiolet server, the servers comprising at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one solution module to perform application support and data storage functions; and

at least one mobility interface module implemented in the at least one lower tier radiolet server and the at least one upper tier radiolet server, the servers comprising at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one mobility interface module to perform interfacing functions.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one lower tier radiolet server and the at least one upper tier radiolet server are distributed geographically.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobility networking module retains management plane and control plane functions in a centralized packet core of an operator network.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the management plane and control plane functions are implemented in an operator proxy radiolet server, the operator proxy radiolet server comprising at least one memory and at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobility application module retains management plane and control plane functions in centralized modules of an application provider data center.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the management plane and control plane functions are implemented in an over the top proxy radiolet server, the over the top proxy radiolet server comprising at least one memory and at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobility cloud module retains management plane and control plane functions in centralized network elements of a cloud provider data center.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the management plane and control plane functions are implemented in a cloud proxy radiolet server, the cloud proxy radiolet server comprising at least one memory and at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system provides for one or more of hyper-distribution of access and functions that migrate with a user; optimization and interaction across layers of the network and the application cloud; and solutions that abet provisioning of digital services.

11. A method of providing mobility to an application cloud in communication with a network and enabling the application cloud and network to work in tandem, the method comprising:

implementing at least one mobility networking module in at least one lower tier radiolet server, the at least one lower tier radiolet server comprising at least one memory and at least one processor executing computer readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one mobility network module to perform one or more traffic data plane functions, wherein the at least one lower tier radiolet server communicates with the network, and the traffic data plane functions comprise one or more of encapsulating and tunneling traffic data packets, traffic data packet delivery, and traffic data packet management;
