Abstract:
A telecom connectivity service provider (TCSP) and a method for allocating an infrastructure resource to a virtual network operator (VNO). A TCSP control element sends to a downstream control element, a request for a portion of the infrastructure to be allocated to the TCSP by an infrastructure provider (InP) and receives a response from the downstream control element providing access to and control of the allocated infrastructure. The TCSP control element can pool the allocated infrastructure with other resources allocated to the TCSP and/or communicate with an upstream control element for providing access to and control of the allocated infrastructure to the VNO. The downstream control element is a local InP control element or a downstream TCSP control element. The upstream control element is a VNO control element or an upstream TCSP control element.

Claim (Index 4):
An apparatus for supporting third party authentication of a roaming user equipment (UE) at a mobility management function, the apparatus comprising a processor, a non-transitory memory and a network interface and configured to:\n receive an attach request associated with a UE; determine that the UE associated with the attach request cannot be authenticated using local resources; transmit an authentication request to a second mobility management function to obtain authentication of the UE; and receive from the second mobility management function a third party authentication associated with the UE.
