Abstract:
A device can receive a request to determine a set of navigational directions, and can obtain a set of traffic objects associated with a first map layer. The set of traffic objects can include nodes to identify one or more geographic locations and one or more links to identify one or more geographic areas between the nodes. The device can determine a shortest-path tree by analyzing the set of traffic objects, the shortest-path tree being associated with a static data structure. The device can generate a dynamic data structure that includes the shortest-path tree and a set of additional traffic objects associated with a second map layer. The device can determine a shortest path by analyzing traffic objects associated with the shortest-path tree and the set of additional traffic objects. The device can provide the set of navigational directions to indicate the shortest path.
Abstract:
A device may receive content to be provided to a plurality of receiver devices. The device may encrypt the content to form encrypted content. The device may provide the encrypted content to the plurality of receiver devices. The device may determine a plurality of respective latency values for the plurality of receiver devices. A latency value, of the plurality of latency values, may identify a length of time between the device sending information to a respective receiver device, of the plurality of receiver devices, and the information being received by the respective receiver device. The device may provide, to the plurality of receiver devices, a security key for decrypting the encrypted content. The security key may be provided, based on the plurality of latency values, to cause the plurality of receiver devices to receive the security key substantially simultaneously.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for location-based TCP throughput predictions and carrier-assisted video rate adaptation, including predicting a future location of a user device based on one or more location parameters associated with the device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof, predicting a transmission control protocol (TCP) throughput for at least one segment of a multimedia file based on the future location of the device, and transmitting the at least one segment based on the predicted TCP throughput.
Abstract:
A device can receive, from a user device, a request associated with a data service that includes one or more service identifiers. The device can determine whether the data service is toll-free by providing, to a server, a validation request that includes the one or more service identifiers. The device can receive a response from the server that indicates that the user device is eligible to use the data service toll-free. The device can obtain an internet protocol (IP) address that is reserved for the data service by using a service identifier to search a data structure. The device can provide the IP address to the user device to allow the user device to use the IP address for a data session. Traffic flow for the data session can be received by another server that uses the IP address to update an account of an entity sponsoring the data service.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for network quality assurance. The approach includes identifying a node in a calling path associated with a call between a calling party and a called party. The approach also includes querying call record information associated with the call from the node. The approach further includes analyzing the call record information to determine a successful state or a failure state of the call. The approach further includes recursively querying and analyzing other call record information associated with the call from one or more subsequent nodes based on the successful state, the failure state, or a combination thereof determined for the node, the one or more subsequent nodes, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for determining a temporal window based on an operational load of a network; creating an entitlement profile corresponding to the temporal window for accessing content over the network; and specifying an access right to the content for the entitlement profile applicable during the temporal window, and a corresponding device.
Abstract:
A server is configured to receive a request for content from a user of a user device. The server is configured further to obtain a group of bookmarks for the content, the group of bookmarks being obtained based on at least one of viewing behavior of the user or viewing behavior of another user. The server is configured further to provide the content and the group of bookmarks to the user.
Abstract:
A mobile device may include first and second communication interfaces. The mobile device may receive, from another device, a dispatch message to receive data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The mobile device may send, to the other device and based on the dispatch message, a device key. The mobile device may receive, from the other device, a session ticket generated by the other device. The IoT device may have previously received a copy of the session ticket. The mobile device may send the session ticket to the IoT device. The mobile device may receive data, from the IoT device and via the first communication interface, based on the session ticket matching the copy of the session ticket. The mobile device may format the data for transmission via the second communication interface. The mobile device may send, via the second communication interface, the data to a network device.
Abstract:
A first network device receives multiple subscription data campaigns, where each of the multiple subscription data campaigns comprises media content, a free data usage quota, and a price for receiving the media content, presents the multiple subscription data campaigns to a user device associated with a user, and receives a selection of one of the multiple subscription data campaigns from the user device. The first network device receives, from a second network device, an indication that the user has successfully subscribed to the selected one of the multiple subscription data campaigns, where the second network device hosts media content associated with the selected one of the multiple subscription data campaigns, generates an authorization token that includes an identifier of the user, an identifier of the selected one of the multiple subscription data campaigns, and the free data usage quota, and sends the authorization token to the second network device.
