System, method and device for providing communications using a distributed mobile architecture
A communications system includes one or more distributed mobile architecture servers. Each distributed mobile architecture servers includes a compute readable medium. Moreover, a mobile switching center module and a base station controller module are embedded in the computer readable medium. Each distributed mobile architecture server is in direction physical connection with a wireless transceiver. Telephony traffic received from the wireless transceiver can be switched by one or more distributed mobile architecture servers. Also, the telephony traffic can be transmitted between the distributed mobile architecture servers via a peer-to-peer connection.
1. A communications system comprising:
a first distributed mobile architecture server, comprising:
a first computer readable medium;
a first mobile switching center module embedded in the first computer readable medium, wherein the first mobile switching center module includes a first authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) module, the first AAA module configured to support generation of first call detail records at the first distributed mobile architecture server; and
a first base station controller module embedded in the first computer readable medium;
wherein the first distributed mobile architecture server is in direct physical connection with a first wireless transceiver; and
a second distributed mobile architecture server, comprising:
a second computer readable medium;
a second mobile switching center module embedded in the second computer readable medium, wherein the second mobile switching center module includes a second AAA module, the second AAA module configured to support generation of second call detail records at the second distributed mobile architecture server; and
a second base station controller module embedded in the second computer readable medium;
wherein the second distributed mobile architecture server is in direct physical connection with a second wireless transceiver;
wherein telephony traffic received at the first wireless transceiver of the first distributed mobile architecture server is transmitted from the first distributed mobile architecture server to the second distributed mobile architecture server via a peer-to-peer connection.
2. The communications system of claim 1 , wherein traffic received at the first wireless transceiver of the first distributed mobile architecture server is transmitted from the first distributed mobile architecture server to the second distributed mobile architecture server via the peer-to-peer connection while the first distributed mobile architecture server moves from a first location to a second location.
3. The communications system of claim 2 , wherein traffic received at the first wireless transceiver of the first distributed mobile architecture server is transmitted from the first distributed mobile architecture server to the second distributed mobile architecture server via the peer-to-peer connection while the second distributed mobile architecture server moves from a third location to a fourth location.
4. The communications system of claim 3 , wherein the first distributed mobile architecture server includes administrative information corresponding to one or more wireless telephone device subscribers stored on the first computer readable medium.
5. The communications system of claim 4 , wherein the first distributed mobile architecture server further comprises a gateway to a public switched telephone network.
6. The communications system of claim 5 , wherein the first distributed mobile architecture server further comprises a media gateway.
7. The communications system of claim 6 , wherein the first distributed mobile architecture server further comprises one of a packet data serving node (PDSN) gateway and a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN).
8. The communications system of claim 7 , wherein the first mobile switching center module further comprises a simple Internet phone gateway.
9. The communications system of claim 8 , wherein the first mobile switching center module further comprises a signaling system seven (SS7) gateway.
10. The communications system of claim 9 , wherein the first mobile switching center module further comprises a gatekeeper module coupled to the public switched telephone network gateway, the media gateway, the PDSN gateway or the GGSN, a Session Initiation Protocol gateway, and the first AAA module.
11. The communications system of claim 1 , wherein the first base station controller module comprises a cellular radio network controller.
12. The communications system of claim 11 , wherein the first base station controller module further comprises a cellular selection/distribution unit.
13. The communications system of claim 12 , wherein the first base station controller module comprises a call protocol controller.
14. The communications system of claim 13 , wherein the call protocol controller communicates with the first wireless transceiver.
15. The communications system of claim 14 , wherein the first base station controller module comprises an operations, maintenance, and provisioning (OMP) module.
