Abstract

A method for providing individualized communication service includes (1) recognizing a first client being communicatively coupled to a first local communication network, (2) determining an identity of the first client, (3) transporting first data between the first client and a first operator communication network, using the first local communication network in accordance with a first service profile associated with the first client, and (4) transporting the first data using the first operator communication network in accordance with the first service profile.

Claims (26)

1. A method for providing individualized communication service, the method comprising:

providing first individualized communication service to a first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to a first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a first subnetwork of the first communication network;

providing second individualized communication service to a second client while the second client is communicatively coupled to the first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a second subnetwork of the first communication network; and

in response to the first client moving from the first communication network to a second communication network, providing the first individualized communication service to the first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to the second communication network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second individualized communication service is different from the first individualized communication service.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

associating a first service profile with the first client; and

associating a second service profile with the second client.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing network resources to each of the first and second communication networks for use by the first client.

5. The method of claim 1 , where the first client comprises an Internet of Things (IoT) device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising restricting transmission of uplink data from the first client to one or more predetermined network nodes.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising restricting transmission of downlink data to the first client from one or more predetermined network nodes.

8. A method for providing individualized communication service, the method comprising:

providing first individualized communication service to a first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to a first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a first subnetwork of the first communication network;

providing second individualized communication service to a second client while the second client is communicatively coupled to the first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a second subnetwork of the first communication network; and

in response to the first client moving from the first communication network to a second communication network, providing the first individualized communication service to the first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to the second communication network;

wherein the second subnetwork is logically separate from the first subnetwork.

9. A method for providing individualized communication service, the method comprising:

providing first individualized communication service to a first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to a first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a first subnetwork;

providing second individualized communication service to a second client while the second client is communicatively coupled to the first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a second subnetwork; and

in response to the first client moving from the first communication network to a second communication network, providing the first individualized communication service to the first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to the second communication network.

10. A communication system, comprising:

a first communication network configured to:

provide first individualized communication service to a first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to the first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a first subnetwork of the first communication network, and

provide second individualized communication service to a second client while the second client is communicatively coupled to the first communication network at least partially by transporting data using a second subnetwork of the first communication network; and

a second communication network configured to provide the first individualized communication service to the first client while the first client is communicatively coupled to the second communication network, in response to the first client moving from the first communication network to the second communication network.
