Abstract:
1. A distributed mobile architecture gateway (dMAG), comprising: a data storage device; a legacy network interface adapted to communicate with a legacy communication network; a home distributed mobile architecture (dMA) register including a list of a first group of dMA nodes, wherein the dMAG is designated to route calls directed to one or more mobile stations served by the first group of dMA nodes; a visitor dMA register including a list of a second group of dMA nodes, wherein each dMA node of the second group of dMA nodes is roaming with respect to the dMAG and the dMAG is adapted to temporarily route calls directed to one or more mobile stations served by the second group of dMA nodes; a master agent adapted to receive performance data from each dMA node of the first group of dMA nodes and each dMA node of the second group of dMA nodes; and an operations module adapted to: store the performance data in the data storage device; and send the performance data from each dMA node of the second group of dMA nodes to one or more additional dMAGs via a private IP network; wherein at least a portion of the calls routed by the dMAG are communicated via the legacy network interface.
