Abstract:
A device receives a first request to establish a bearer with a first UE associated with a LTE device, where the first request includes first parameters associated with the first UE. The device also determines that the LTE device does not have the bearer established, and provides a new bearer request, with the first parameters, to a wireless network in order to establish the bearer with the LTE device at a first data rate. The device further receives a second request to establish another bearer with a second UE associated with the LTE device, where the second request includes second parameters associated with the second UE. The device determines that the LTE device has the bearer established, and provides a modify bearer request, with the second parameters, to the wireless network in order to modify the bearer with the LTE device to a second data rate.
Abstract:
A device receives, from a user device, a request to access a network, determines whether to accept or deny the request to access the network, and monitors traffic provided to or from the user device via the network. The device also determines a traffic pattern for the user device based on the traffic, classifies the traffic as one of high throughput traffic, low packet data size traffic, or high frequency packet interval traffic, and applies different network resource control mechanisms to different classifications of the traffic.
Abstract:
A device classifies access or control channel signals into a first class or a second class, initializes a dormancy timer associated with the device, and sets the dormancy timer to a default value. The device also sets a signal target utilization threshold, receives actual signals via the access or control channel, and identifies, when a number of the actual signals exceeds the signal target utilization threshold, a particular signal, from the actual signals, as belonging to the first class or the second class. The device further increases the default value of the dormancy timer when the particular signal belongs to the first class, and decreases the default value of the dormancy timer when the particular signal belongs to the second class.
Abstract:
A device may receive a network access request and perform at least one of signal strength measurements of a first wireless network and a second wireless network, a determination of a level of congestion of the first wireless network and a level of congestion of the second wireless network, or a determination of an access point name (APN) type associated with the network access request. The device may select one of the first wireless network or the second wireless network based on the performance of the at least one of the signal strength measurements, the determination of the level of congestion of the first wireless network and the level of congestion of the second wireless network, or the determination of the APN type associated with the network access request. The device may further connect to the selected one of the first wireless network or the second wireless network.
Abstract:
A device receives an attachment request from a user device, and determines whether the user device is a stationary device based on the attachment request. The device further establishes a connection between the user device and a network by using local components associated with the device when the user device is the stationary device. The local components perform functions performed by one or more of a remote mobility management entity (MME) device, a remote serving gateway (SGW), or a remote packet data network (PDN) gateway (PGW) associated with the device. The device also transmits data from the network to the user device via the local components associated with the device after establishing the connection between the user device and the network.
Abstract:
A system may receive, from a user device, a request to receive content via a first base station, where the content was previously being received, as multicast content, via a second base station; determine, in response to the request, whether the first base station can process multicast content; transmit a copy of the content, to the user device via the first base station, as multicast content, based on a determination that the first base station can process multicast content; and transmit the content, to the user device via the first base station, as unicast content, based on a determination that the first base station cannot process multicast content.
Abstract:
A system may receive a connection request, from a user device, that includes information identifying a particular application; identify that the particular application is associated with a group of classes of traffic; establish a group of bearer channels that are associated with the group of classes of traffic, the group of bearer channels being associated with a group of different levels of quality of service (“QoS”); process, via a first bearer channel and according to a first level of QoS, first traffic associated with the user device and the particular application; and process, via a second bearer channel of the group of bearer channels, according to a second level of QoS, second traffic associated with the user device and the particular application, the second bearer channel being different from the first bearer channel, and the second level of QoS being different from the first level of QoS.
Abstract:
A device may receive a packet, may identify a first packet characteristic associated with the packet, may identify a second packet characteristic associated with the packet, and may store information associated with the packet in a queue based on the first packet characteristic and the second packet characteristic. The device may service the packet from the queue based on an automatic repeat requester (“ARQ”) mechanism. The ARQ mechanism may specify a maximum quantity of times that the packet should be serviced before being dropped, when a packet acknowledgement is not received, may specify a time period between packet service attempts, and may be based on the first packet characteristic and the second packet characteristic.
Abstract:
Video content may be delivered in a wireless network based on network load information relating to radio interfaces for the wireless network. A method may include receiving a request, from a set-top box, for video content from the set-top box to the wireless network and determining, based on the load information, whether a portion of the wireless network corresponding to the set-top box is in a first state or a second state. The network may further include transmitting the video content when the portion of the network corresponding to the set-top box is in the first state and delaying transmission of the video content when the portion of the network corresponding to the set-top box is in the second state, until the portion of the network corresponding to the set-top box enters the first state.
Abstract:
A first navigation device records first direction information as the first navigation device traverses a route from a first location to a second location, and transmits the first direction information to a second navigation device while the second navigation device is following the first navigation along the route. After recording the first direction information and while transmitting the first direction information, the first navigation device records second direction information as the first navigation device traverses the route from the second location to a third location. The first navigation device transmits the second direction information to the second navigation device. The first direction information and the second direction information include information that allows the second navigation device to follow the route traversed by the first navigation device.
