Abstract

Methods and systems for merging isolated networks. One method includes determining that a second network is located within a predetermined distance of a first network. The method also includes exchanging content between a first network core of the first network and a second network core of the second network over a side haul communication channel. The exchange of content results in a first base station transceiver of the first network being capable of communicating with first network components of the first network core and with mirrored instances of second network components of the second network core within the first network core. The method also includes controlling, with the first network core, communications through the first base station transceiver using the second content included in the mirrored instances of the second network components.
