Dynamic resource allocation across multiple network service providers

Abstract

A technique for utilizing network resources includes allocating a first set of network resources (802) associated with a first network provider that operates a first core network and utilizes a first radio carrier and a second set of network resources (808) associated with a second network provider that operates a second core network and utilizes a second radio carrier (808). The technique also includes combining the first set of network resources and the second set of network resources to generate a combined set of network resources (810), and using the combined set of network resources to transmit data between a user device and the first core network and between the user device and the second core network, concurrently in a same communication session (812).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to cellular communications, and more particularly, to dynamically allocating resources among networks operated by multiple network service providers. Background technique [0002] The background description provided here is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. To the extent described in this Background section, the work of the presently named inventors and aspects of the description that may not conform to the prior art at the time of filing are neither expressly nor implicitly admitted to be state-of-the-art in this disclosure. have technology. [0003] A subscription to a particular network service provider (also commonly referred to as a "network provider" or "network operator") enables user equipment to access resources of that network service provider. Typically, network service providers offer different types and qualities of services, coverage areas, frequency band combinations, ...
