Abstract: A wireless relay network to serves User Equipment (UEs). Wireless relays wirelessly attach to wireless base stations and exchange relay core signaling with relay cores. The wireless relays establish relay bearers from the wireless relays to UE cores over the wireless base stations and the relay cores. The wireless relays wirelessly attach the UEs and exchange UE core signaling with the UE cores over the relay bearers. The wireless relays establish UE bearers from the UEs to the UE cores over the relay bearers. The wireless relays exchange UE data between the UEs and the UE cores over the UE bearers.

Abstract: A wireless communication device generates content-delivery data indicating stored media content, content-delivery interface capability, tethered media devices, and Internet Protocol (IP) address data for the wireless communication device and for the tethered media devices. The wireless communication device wirelessly transfers the content-delivery data to a wireless communication network for delivery to a content distribution network. The wireless communication device transfers at least a portion of the stored media content to the wireless communication network for subsequent content delivery.

Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Management and Orchestration (MANO) data system supports an Application Layer Traffic Offload (ALTO) system for a Network Service (NS). An orchestrator exchanges network data with a Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) to support the NS. The orchestrator exchanges function data with a Virtual Network Function Manager (VNFM) to support the NS. The VIM exchanges the network data with NFV Infrastructures (NFVIs) to execute Virtual Machines (VMs) that instantiate Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) to support the NS. The VNFM exchanges the function data with the VNFs to support the NS. The NFV MANO orchestrator indexes some of the network data and the function data to generate NFV ALTO topology data that associates individual ALTO Provider Identifiers (PIDs) with individual ones of the NFVIs and with individual ones of the NFV VNFs.

Abstract: A video content distribution method is provided that comprises transmitting, by a video content distribution server, an initial portion of a scalable video file associated with a video to a mobile communication device via a first communication channel, transmitting an additional portion of the scalable video file to the mobile communication device via a second communication channel, and reconstructing, by the mobile communication device, at least some of the scalable video file based on reconstruction data using the initial portion and the additional portion of the scalable video file. The method also comprises playing, by the mobile communication device, at least a portion of the video at an initial resolution and frame rate based on the initial portion of the scalable video file and at least a portion of the video at an improved resolution and frame rate based on the reconstructed at least some of the scalable video file.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves media content to a wireless communication device. The wireless communication network receives registration notices for the wireless communication device from Downstream Content Delivery Networks (dCDNs) when the wireless communication device registers with the dCDNs. The wireless communication network receives CDN signaling from an Upstream Content Delivery Network (uCDN) for one of the multiple dCDNs when the wireless communication device registers with the uCDN. The wireless communication network selects one of the dCDNs for the wireless communication device. The wireless communication network transfers the CDN signaling to the selected one of the dCDNs. The uCDN transfers media content to the dCDN and the dCDN transfers the media content to the wireless communication device.

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 communication system controls Quality-of-Service (QoS) using Internet Protocol (IP) address ports. A network controller identifies an IP port range and a QoS level for a user application. The network controller transfers port/QoS data that indicates the IP port range and the QoS level for the user application. A wireless relay and a network gateway receive the port/QoS data. The wireless relay wirelessly exchanges user data with User Equipment (UE) using an IP port in the IP port range. The wireless relay exchanges the user data with the network gateway using the QoS level associated with the IP port range responsive to the use of the IP port by the UE. The network gateway exchanges the user data using the QoS level associated with the IP port range responsive to the use of the IP port by the UE.

Abstract: A wireless communication system to synchronize data transfer rates. A hard disk drive controller receives a first Long Term Evolution (LTE) Radio Resource Connection message generated by an eNodeB proposing a wireless communication network download data rate. The hard disk drive controller compares the proposed wireless communication network download rate in the first LTE RRC message with a hard disk drive storage data rate. If the proposed wireless communication network download rate is higher than the hard disk drive storage data rate, then the hard disk controller transfers a second LTE RRC message requesting a lower wireless communication network download rate.

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.
