Patent ID: 11425606

Abstract:
A networked system includes Infrastructure Provider (InP) system(s) that couple a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) system to physical Radio Access Network (RAN) resources. The InP system(s) are configured to provide a direct MVNO RAN resource management system for the MVNO system that virtualizes a portion of the physical RAN resources to provide virtualized RAN resources that are allocated to the MVNO system. When the direct MVNO RAN resource management system receives a virtualized RAN resource command from the MVNO system that is directed to the virtualized RAN resources, it automatically translates the virtualized RAN resource command to a physical RAN resource command that is configured to cause the performance of management operation(s) associated with the portion of the physical RAN resources, and then automatically transmits the physical RAN resource command to cause the performance of the management operation(s) associated with the portion of the physical RAN resources.
