The present invention provides methods and a computer-readable program for providing autonomic, event driven upgrade maintenance of one or more software modules residing on a computer system. In a preferred embodiment, a method begins by detecting a predefined triggering event on the computer system indicative of a potential maintenance issue. Next the computer system connects to an upgrade management server, where the upgrade maintenance server creates a list of recommended upgrade modules to download to the computer system, the list based upon the triggering event and a set of selection policies. The method then downloads the list of recommended upgrade modules from the upgrade management server to the computer system, and selectively installs upgrade modules chosen from the list of recommended upgrade modules on the computer system. The user is then notified of the status of the upgrade maintenance operation.

Dynamic policy systems and methods for implementing network management of a network include pre-calculating management policies for the network, in an off-line manner, based on past observed network load taking into consideration seasonality of network load, forecasts of the network load, and planned events on the network load; selecting a policy from the pre-calculated management policies, to manage the network in an on-line manner, wherein the selecting is either time-based or performance-based; and performing network management functions in the network utilizing the selected policy.

A method for selecting a policy and charging rules function. When a UE accesses a 3GPP system through a roaming architecture, upon receiving a session establishment request message sent by a PCC client located in the visited network, the DRA in the visited network forwards the message to a selected PCRF of the visited network according to the records stored locally or instructs the PCC client to transmit the session establishment request message to the selected PCRF of the visited network; and the PCRF of the visited network forwards the session establishment request message to a DRA of a home network, then the DRA of the home network forwards the message to the selected PCRF of the home network according to the records stored locally or instructs the PCRF of the visited network to transmit the session establishment request message to the selected PCRF of the home network.

User interface and policy loading aspects of a policy-based, outsourced, network management system. In one aspect, a user selects policies using a graphical user interface (GUI) with a two paned window having a tree view of the policies in one pane. In another aspect, the policies are (1) created in the GUI format (e.g., XML), (2) sent over a network (e.g., the internet) to a service center in the same format, and (3) are loaded, manipulated and stored in the same format. In another aspect, the initial loading of the policies is done using a bulk loader in a logic layer. In another aspect, the logic layer also includes a configuration checker which handles changes or additions to policies in a finished network management system. Any aspects of the new or changed policy that are inconsistent with the finished system are parsed and stripped out. In another aspect, where the details of a new policy or change aren't specified, a base configuration creator creates a policy with minimal attributes. In another aspect, the logic layer also contains a device control console, which allows bypassing the policy creating and configuring to allow a user to directly access a device for configuration.

Aspects of the present disclosure includes a method of performing enhanced auto-selection in a UE including initiating the UE having at least a first subscriber identify module (SIM) card and a second SIM card, obtaining a current ICCID associated with the first SIM card, obtaining, from a cache of the UE, a previous ICCID used in a previous connection to a previously identified carrier, determining whether the current ICCID matches the previous ICCID, in response to determining that the current ICCID does not match the previous ICCID, creating a new card information using data stored in the first SIM card, obtaining one or more selection policies, identifying a carrier based on the one or more selection policies, and connecting to the identified carrier using data stored in the second SIM card associated with the identified carrier.

The present invention relates to moving networks in communication systems. An object of the invention is to provide moving network nodes (205, 206) in a moving network (201) with the ability to simultaneously access several external access networks (211, 212, 213) accessible by different mobile routers (204, 207) such that a data packet directed to an address external to the moving network can be sent from a moving network node via any of the mobile routers (204, 207) and via a tunnel setup in any of the simultaneously accessible external accesses to a home agent (216) in a home network (215) of the mobile router. This is achieved by synchronizing between the mobile routers data regarding the external accesses of each mobile router, and, when a data packet is received at a first mobile router (204), the first mobile router selects external access based on the synchronized external access information, information in the data packet and optionally also based on access selection policies. If a selected access belongs to e.g. a second mobile router (207), the packet is forwarded from the first mobile router to the second mobile router before it is sent to the home agent (215) via the tunnel setup through the selected access (211).
