Systems, Devices, and Methods of Orchestration and Application of Business Rules for Real-Time Control of Subscribers in a Telecommunications Operator's Network

摘要

The various embodiments include methods, computing devices and communication systems for controlling services in a communications network. A communications server may be configured to receive bounding information from a first server, decision making information from a second server, and a request to generate a decision from any of a number of different systems or components. The communications server may define bounds for generating the decision based on the received bounding information, and generate the decision based on the received decision making information and defined bounds. The communication server may send the generated decision to a third server implementing a functional system, such as a server in policy management system, policy enforcement system, charging system, or mobile application server system.

1. A method of controlling services in a system that includes a plurality of independent communication networks, the method comprising:
receiving in a processor bounding information from a first server computing device in a first communication network of the plurality of independent communication networks, the bounding information identifying an upper bound on a maximum amount of latency allowed per decision of a decision tree; receiving in the processor decision making information from a second server computing device in a second communication network of the plurality of independent communication networks, the decision making information including information suitable for determining how the services are to be charged to subscribers and how network resources are to be controlled; generating decision core engine (DCE) decision information based on the received bounding information and the received decision making information; and sending the generated DCE decision information to a third server computing device implementing a functional system.
