Abstract: A method of prioritizing delivery to a mobile device for an audio album through a wireless network. The method comprises dividing, by a server computer, the audio album into two groups based on historical statistics of playback probability of a plurality of tracks of the audio album to be played next after a track that is being played, wherein tracks with a higher probability than a predefined threshold are placed in an immediate playback group, group 1, wherein tracks with a lower probability than the predefined threshold are placed in a later playback group, group 2.

Abstract: A communication system provides selective access to target wireless communication devices. A naming server system receives naming system registration messages from target wireless communication devices and address requests from user devices. The naming server system determines if the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device. If the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device, then the naming server system returns the address for the target wireless communication device. If the current time is not within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device, then the naming server system will respond with a timeframe when the target wireless communication device will be available for access.

Abstract: A wireless communication device receives a menu selection from a user indicating a user preference to receive video with captions instead of audio. The wireless communication device transfers a message indicating the user preference to a wireless communication network. The wireless communication device receives a content selection for the video content from the user and transfers a content request for the video content to the wireless communication network. The wireless communication network obtains and modifies the video content to replace the audio with the captions and transfers the modified video content to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device displays the modified video content with the captions and without the audio.

Abstract: A system for proving secure streamed data sessions is disclosed. The system comprises a first computer system executing an orchestrator virtualized network function (VNF). The orchestrator VNF collects performance metrics on routers, receives a request for a secure streamed data session, analyzes the metrics based on the request, determines a secure routing path, creates a routing instruction set that defines the secure routing path, and transmits the routing instruction set to a session aggregator. The system further comprises a second computer system that executes the session aggregator in a trusted security zone. The session aggregator establishes trusted end-to-end communication links with a first edge router, a second edge router, and at least one of the plurality of routers and configures the routing instruction set into each of the CPE node, the first edge router, the second edge router, and the at least one router via the trusted end-to-end communication link.

Abstract: A data communication system compresses packet headers. A transmitter executes state machines to process a data packet and determine if a transmitter state machine is transferring Interdependent Machine Output (IMO) data. The transmitter generates an IMO vector that indicates if any IMO data is in the data packet. If IMO is present, then the transmitter augments the IMO vector to indicate the individual transmitter state machines that transferred the IMO data. The transmitter transfers the data packet with the IMO vector to a receiver. The receiver processes the IMO vector to determine if any IMO data is transferred in the data packet. If IMO data is transferred, then the receiver processes the augmented IMO vector to transfer the IMO data to individual receiver state machine that correspond to the transmitter state machines that transferred the IMO data.

Abstract: A method of true push for internet protocol notification to a mobile communication device implemented by at least one server computer. The method comprises determining the size of physically addressable random access memory (RAM) and the number of central processing unit (CPU) cores of the server computer at boot time and setting the resource limit, rlimit, in the kernel of the server computer that comprises setting the limit for the total number of file handles in the entire system automatically based on the determined size of the random access memory and the determined number of the central processing unit cores at boot time. The method further comprises tying the memory page allocation into the setting of the kernel parameters, whereby the input/output (I/O) maintenance of the server computer is maximized for concurrent web sockets so that the server computer is optimized for implementing the true push for internet protocol notification.
