Abstract:
A system may be configured to receive first information regarding a location service dead zone; receive second information regarding a location of a user device; identify, based on the first information and the second information, that the user device is within the location service dead zone at a particular time; compute a location of the user device, within the location service dead zone, at the particular time, based on at least one of the second information regarding the location of the user device, history data associated with the user device, or history data associated with one or more other user devices; and store or output information regarding the computed location of the user device at the particular time.
Abstract:
A first network device receives an authentication request, from a second network device, to authenticate a user device and a first over-the-top application, stored on the user device, to determine whether to apply a level of quality of service to the first over-the-top application. The first network device authenticates the user device, based on the authentication requested. The first network device authenticates the first over-the-top application, based on the authentication request. The first network device sends an authentication result, based on the authentication of the user device and the first over-the-top application, to the second network device; and the second network device initiates, based on the authentication result, a process to apply a level of quality of service to information sent between the first over-the-top application and a provider associated with the first over-the-top application.
Abstract:
A mobile device is configured to create a network address for the mobile device, the network address allowing the mobile device to communicate across a mobile network; associate the network address with a name for the mobile device; store the network address and the name for the mobile device in a first component, the first component being a part of the mobile device; update the network address, for the mobile device, to a new network address; associate the new network address with the name for the mobile device; store the new network address in the first component; and send, using the first component, the new network address to a first server.
Abstract:
A user device may receive a portion of multicast content and may obtain transmission information associated with the portion of the multicast content. The transmission information may identify parameters or radio conditions under which the portion of the multicast content is being received by the user device. The user device may provide, to a server device, the transmission information, and may receive content that remedies a condition, associated with the portion of the multicast content. The condition may be detected, by the server device, based on the transmission information.
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.
Abstract:
A system may include one or more devices. The one or more devices may obtain indications of quantities of wireless resources that are available at a group of wireless transmission devices, and determine, based on the obtained indications, an amount of wireless resources to allocate to a broadcast service that provides video on demand content. The one or more devices may further cause the determined amount of wireless resources to be allocated, from a unicast service, to the broadcast service at one or more wireless transmission devices, of the group of wireless transmission devices.
Abstract:
A system is configured to receive traffic information that identifies an application that is installed on a user device and resources being used to process traffic associated with the application; obtain, as a result of receiving the traffic information, a policy that identifies a particular amount of resources that are authorized for processing particular traffic associated with the application; determine that an amount of the resources being used to process the traffic is greater than the particular amount of resources authorized for processing the particular traffic; and transmit a notification to cause the traffic to be controlled based on the determination that the amount of the resources is greater than the particular amount of resources. The notification to cause the traffic to be controlled causes a base station to reduce the amount of the resources to a level that is less than the particular amount of resources.
Abstract:
Content may be preemptively delivered to mobile devices in a wireless network using multicast delivery techniques. In one implementation, a method may include analyzing network traffic of a number of users; determining, based on the analysis, whether a content item is a popular content item, as determined by requests for the content item from the users; and transmitting, a signal, in response to the determination, to schedule preemptive multicast delivery of the content item to mobile devices. The multicast delivery may be performed over one or more radio interfaces in which multiple mobile devices receive the content item over a shared radio channel.
Abstract:
A video on demand (VoD) network architecture implements a gateway that provides both satellite-based communications and radio frequency-based communications. The gateway may receive a content request from a video client and determine whether the content request corresponds to a content delivery network (CDN). When the content request corresponds to the CDN, the gateway may install a VoD access point name (APN) route designated for VoD traffic between the video client and the CDN, and communicate the content request to the CDN via the VoD APN route. The VoD APN route may include a VoD APN of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) connected to the gateway via an air interface. When the content request does not correspond to the CDN, the gateway may communicate the content request via an Internet APN route.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal receives a class identifier and receives a broadcast message with a backoff period definition for multiple classes of mobile terminals. The mobile terminal applies the class identifier to the backoff period definition to determine a backoff interval for the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal sends, to a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) connection request using the calculated backoff interval. Different backoff intervals are assigned to different classes of mobile terminals to control network access congestion at the base station.
