Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising caching, by a server comprising a processor, a subscriber profile in a network repository to create a cached subscriber profile. The cached subscriber profile comprises a replica of stored subscriber data. The method also comprises updating the cached subscriber profile in accordance with subscriber use of a first application from a first application provider to produce a first updated version of the cached subscriber profile. The method further comprises updating the first updated version of the cached subscriber profile in accordance with subscriber use of a second application from a second application provider to produce a second updated version of the cached subscriber profile. The first and second updated versions of the cached subscriber profile are accessible by the first application provider and by the second application provider. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, providing radio access information to a first server of an IP multimedia subsystem network to cause the first server to establish an interface between the first server and a second server for providing the radio access information to the second server, where the interface does not utilize an S14 interface, and where the providing of the radio access information to the second server causes the second server to discover access networks in proximity to the communication device and to manage connections to the access networks. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving video content at a mobile device via a network from a video server wherein a single version of the video content is provided by the video server to a group of mobile devices that includes the mobile device, utilizing the mobile device for adjusting dimensions of an area of attention in an image of the video content based on a desired display resolution to generate an adjusted area of attention, utilizing the mobile device for adjusting dimensions of a peripheral portion that surrounds the area of attention in at least one of a horizontal or vertical direction based on the adjusted area of attention to generate an adjusted peripheral portion of an adjusted image, and replacing the image with the adjusted image during presentation of the video content at a display of the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract:
A network device may receive intelligent operations interface information that may comprise devices, resources, or events that may affect a communication system. The intelligent operations interface information may be processed to isolate network performance problems and effectuate a prioritized resolution of the network performance problems.
Abstract:
A network device may receive intelligent operations interface information that may comprise resources or events that may affect a communication system. The intelligent operations interface information may be processed to isolate network performance problems and effectuate a prioritized resolution of the network performance problems. The intelligent operations interface may take into account a ripple effect of fixing or not fixing one network performance problem over another network performance problem when determining the prioritized resolution of the network performance problems.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a media server from an electronic device, a first request for a video content item. The method includes selecting, at the media server, a particular version of the video content item to communicate to the electronic device based on a geographic location of the electronic device. The particular version is a vector graphics format version responsive to the geographic location corresponding to a first coverage area. The particular version is a bitmap graphics format version responsive to the geographic location corresponding to a second coverage area different from the first coverage area. The method also includes communicating the particular version of the video content item from the media server to the electronic device.
Abstract:
A method for transferring a communication session from a first network to a second network. The method includes receiving, on the first network, a first request associated with a first user device to transfer a first communication session to a second network and a second request associated with a second user device to transfer a second communication session to the second network, accessing profile information associated with the first user device and the second user device, accessing subscription information associated with the first user device and the second user device, accessing performance requirements associated with each application running on each of the respective first user device and second user device, determining a priority of each of the respective requests based on the accessed profile information, subscription information, and performance requirements; and transferring one or more of the communication sessions to the second network based on the determining step.
Abstract:
A method includes exchanging metadata with a network customer during a first provision of a first service to the network customer. The method also includes receiving a request for a second service from the network customer and determining a quality-of-service requirement based on the metadata and a provider of at least one of the first service or the second service. The method also includes adjusting a network resource based on the quality-of-service requirement. The network resource facilitates a second provision of the second service to the network customer.
