ZERO CHARGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PACKET-SWITCHED TELEPHONY
Asynchronous and/or synchronous telephony protocol systems and methods may include an asynchronous signaling node (ASN) and/or a call duration time quota from a charging onset to place and complete a call based on a first device call request as received from a first user mobile device on a packet switched network. The asynchronous systems include instructions to automatically modify the telephony address with a prefix and destination address when the first device has insufficient or independent balance or upon a network exception; route the modified call signal to the ASN; and deliver and automatically disconnect the call when the call is completed. The synchronous systems are balance-independent and include instructions to automatically set the call duration time quota upon such exception, and deliver and automatically disconnect the call from the second user telephony device when the call is completed or when the call duration time quota is exceeded.
Managing bandwidth in mobile telecommunications networks
In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, a method, computer program product, and system for managing and redistributing unused bandwidth between devices connected to a mobile telecommunications network is provided. One or more computer processors determine a predicted amount of data to be used by a mobile device. The one or more computer processors determine a surplus of allocated data based on whether the predicted amount of data is less than an allocated amount of data. The one or more computer processors, upon determining that there is a surplus of allocated data, move the surplus of allocated data to a data pool to be used by one or more additional mobile devices.
Telecommunication service subscription integration system
This disclosure describes a Telecommunications Service Subscription Integration (TSSI) system that generates an integrated service subscription for a client device operating on a telecommunications network. The integrated service subscription may aggregate service features from multiple service subscriptions, and prioritize application of one service subscription within the integrated service subscription over another, or one service feature within the integrated service subscription over another. The TSSI system may also determine whether client eligibility for a service subscription is current or has lapsed. In doing so, the integrated service subscription may be adjusted to remove ineligible service subscriptions and re-prioritize remaining service features. The TSSI system may monitor usage of an integrated service subscription and recommend additional, or alternative, service subscriptions. The TSSI system may parse through client usage data to determine a suitability score for individual service features, and in doing so, recommend an additional, or alternative, service subscription based on suitability scores.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE COMPLETE REDUNDANCY FOR A SUBSCRIBER DATA POINT SYSTEM
Methods and systems to achieve complete redundancy for a subscriber data point are disclosed. The subscriber data point (SDP) may be implemented on an account balance management function (AMBF) of a 5G charging system. According to an implementation, a first computing device of the AMBF may be scheduled to perform an operation on subscriber data stored in a first database, and a second computing device of the AMBF may be scheduled to perform the same operation on subscriber data stored in a second database after a preset time period from the first computing device performing the operation. The first computing device may set a flag in the first database and the second database when the operation starts. The second computing device may check the flag status when starting the operation. Upon detecting the flag is on in the second database, the second computing device may terminate the operation.
