SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLOUD-BASED IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTROL OF FOCUSED OVERLOAD OF SERVICE ELEMENT (COFO-SE) VIA EXPLICIT (OR VIRTUALIZED) MACHINE-TO-MACHINE (M2M) GATEWAY ELEMENT

摘要

A system and method for cloud-based implementation of control of focused overload of service elements is disclosed. Resource blocks are obtained for a signaling part of a service element from a variety of networked resources. The signaling part of the service element controls allocation of resources from a media part of the service element via instructions over virtual private network links. Resource blocks for the media part of the service element are obtained from a variety of networked resources, wherein the resource blocks are integrated into a pool and a unified view is presented to the signaling part of the service element. The media part of the service element uses the resource blocks for the applications and services for a specific (e.g., session or transaction length) duration of time, and additional borrowed resources are released after successful utilization.

1. A method comprising:
obtaining resource blocks for a signaling part of a service element from a variety of networked resources; controlling, by the signaling part of the service element, allocation of resources from a media part of the service element via instructions over virtual private network links; obtaining resource blocks for the media part of the service element from the variety of networked resources, wherein the resource blocks are integrated into a pool and a unified view is presented to the signaling part of the service element; using the resource blocks for applications and services for a duration of time; and releasing the resources after utilization.
