Abstract:
1. A system comprising: (a) a local optimization server connected to a communication network and adapted for association in parallel with at least one wireless RF access node and adapted to provide application services to a plurality of mobile devices that communicate with the at least one wireless RF access node in a coverage area, wherein the connectivity between the local optimization server and the communication network permits a data packet to flow either (i) between the at least one wireless RF access node and the communication network without traversing the local optimization server, (ii) between the local optimization server and the communication network without traversing the at least one wireless RF access node, or (iii) between the at least one wireless RF access node and the local optimization server without traversing the communication network; (b) a centralized optimization server associated with the communication network and adapted to (i) provide the application services to the plurality of mobile devices, and (ii) transfer the provision of said application services to the local optimization server of the at least one wireless RF access node, wherein the transfer of the application services is based on a usage characteristic of the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the usage characteristic is a threshold value for the number of mobile devices requesting identical application services in the coverage area of the at least one wireless RF access node; and (c) a wireless control facility communicatively connected with the centralized optimization server and a plurality of wireless RF access nodes including the at least one wireless RF access node, wherein the wireless control facility maintains a centralized communications facility for mobile devices in RF communication with the plurality of wireless RF access nodes, wherein the transfer of the application services enables data packets to be conveyed between the plurality of mobile devices and the local optimization server without traversing the communication network to the centralized optimization server.
