Abstract:
A device receives a priority configuration for a subscriber associated with a user device, and monitors resource utilization information associated with an Internet protocol (IP) wireless access network of the user device. The device also detects an initial attach request of the user device to the IP wireless access network, and determines whether to accept or deny the initial attach request based on the subscriber priority configuration and the resource utilization information. The device further provides, to the user device and when the initial attach request is denied, a time for the user device to attempt a re-attach to the IP wireless access network, and permits, when the initial attach request is accepted, the user device to access the IP wireless access network.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving metrics associated with traffic that complies with a grade of service (GOS) associated with a customer premises equipment (CPE) device, where the metrics identify a group of cells via which the traffic is received by the CPE device. The method also includes retrieving information associated with traffic conditions within a group of base stations; initiating a load balancing operation when traffic conditions within a base station indicate that a particular cell, associated with the base station, is congested; and sending, to a set of base stations that send traffic to the CPE device, a notification, where the notification causes traffic, not destined for the CPE device, to be rerouted to another base station, which enables the base station to send traffic, that complies with the GOS, to the CPE device, or causes the CPE device to receive traffic, that complies with the GOS, from a further based station.
Abstract:
A device receives an address from a computer terminal; determines a location associated with the address; and determines a current signal quality at the location by referencing a file that represents an area that includes the location. The device further determines whether the location qualifies for a fixed wireless service based on the current signal quality. The device also transmits information to the computer terminal. The information indicates whether the location qualifies for the fixed wireless service.
Abstract:
A system comprising: one or more server devices to: set a first network threshold level for determining network congestion in a network; set rate limiting criteria for determining when one or more subscribers will be rate limited; detect an increase in network congestion at a base station above the first network threshold level; identify one or more subscribers meeting one or more of the rate limiting criteria; rate limit network traffic associated with the one or more subscribers; detect a decrease in network congestion at the base station below a second network threshold level; and remove the rate limiting of the network traffic associated with the one or more subscribers.
Abstract:
A first device is configured to receive, from a second device, an indication of a presence of a third device inside of a vehicle, where the first device is located inside of the vehicle. The first device is further configured to receive data associated with the vehicle, determine a vehicle condition, of the vehicle, based on the data associated with the vehicle, and deactivate a function associated with the third device based on the vehicle condition. The first device may prevent the third device from performing the deactivated function when an instruction to perform the deactivated function is received by the third device via manual input. The first device may permit the third device to perform the deactivated function when the instruction to perform the deactivated function is received by the third device via a hands-free device.
Abstract:
A system may receive base station configuration data associated with base stations, classify the base stations into morphologies based on the base station configuration data, identify resource utilization data associated with the base stations, generate resource allocation recommendations for the base stations based on the resource utilization data and the morphologies, and transmit the resource allocation recommendations for the base stations to permit the stations to allocate resources based on the resource allocation recommendations.
Abstract:
A device receives, from a network device, information associated with an event, and assigns an event identifier to the event based on the event information. The device also provides the event identifier to a cell control device located at a location associated with the event, and determines a cell capacity of the location to ensure that there is sufficient cell capacity at the location to broadcast the event. The network device instructs a device capturing the event to provide live event data to the cell control device for a predetermined time period.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) provides a device identifier to a server device, and receives, based on one of the device identifier or a location of the device, carrier pricing information from the server device. The UE provides the carrier pricing information for display, and receives a selection of a particular carrier from the displayed carrier pricing information. The UE provides an indication of the particular carrier to the server device, initializes a connection with the particular carrier, and performs one or more communication operations via the connection with the particular carrier.
Abstract:
A system is configured to receive an indication that a connection with a user device is to be lost, the connection being associated with a call between the user device and another user device; provide an instruction, to one or more devices, to maintain the call when the connection is lost, the one or more devices being responsible for processing the call; detect that the connection is lost; provide, to the one or more devices, a first notification that the connection is lost, the first notification causing the one or more devices to maintain the call based on the instruction to maintain the call when the connection is lost; detect that the connection is re-established; and provide, to the one or more devices, a second notification that the connection is re-established, the second notification causing the one or more devices to re-establish the call.
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.
