Abstract:
A network device transmits, to a cache located proximate to the network device, instructions to store content in the cache. The cache stores the content based on the instructions. The network device further receives a request for the content from a mobile communication device; determines, based on the request, that the content is stored in the local cache; and retrieves the content from the local cache. The network device also creates packets based on the retrieved content, and transmits the packets to the mobile communication device.
Abstract:
An outdoor broadband unit may be connected to an external portion of a customer premises. The outdoor broadband unit may include a radio frequency (RF) antenna to receive communications from a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network and a printed wiring board. The printed wiring board may include an integrated circuit (IC) chip to implement a subscriber identity module (SIM) to provide services for the LTE network. The IC chip may be soldered to the printed wiring board and have a rated temperature range corresponding to an industrial grade or military grade integrated circuit. The IC chip may provide authentication services for the SIM using a hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) connection. The printed wiring board may further include a control module to implement an air interface for the LTE network. A radome may contain the RF antenna and the printed wiring board.
Abstract:
A device receives a packet provided in a wireless access network, and determines whether the packet is a payload packet or an acknowledgment (Ack) packet. The device also allocates, when the packet is an acknowledgement packet, the acknowledgment packet to an expedited priority queue, and allocates, when the packet is a payload packet, the payload packet to a regular priority queue. The device further delivers one or more acknowledgment packets provided in the expedited priority queue prior to delivering one or more payload packets provided in the regular priority queue.
Abstract:
A monitoring device may determine an application to monitor, may determine a parameter to monitor, where the parameter is associated with at least one of a network or a device, may determine user devices from which to collect the parameter, and may transmit, to the user devices, information that identifies the application and information that identifies the parameter. The monitoring device may receive, from the user devices, information that identifies values of the parameter, may analyze the values of the parameter, may determine, based on the analysis, that the application is a cause of a problem associated with the network or the device. The monitoring device may perform an action based on determining that the application is a cause of the problem.
Abstract:
A mobile device may monitor availability of access networks that provide connectivity for the mobile device. The mobile device may also store preference information, on a per-application basis, relating to preferences for using the access networks by applications executed by the mobile device. The mobile device may additionally select, in response to a request from an application to connect to the network, one of the access networks, based on the preference information for the application; and provide a communication channel for the application using the selected access network.
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 server device may identify that a user device is connected to a first radio access network (“RAN”), via a first technology. The server device may identify that the user device is capable of accessing a second RAN, via a second technology, where the second RAN is different from the first RAN, and where the second technology is different from the first technology. The server device may also receive an indication that the first RAN is congested. The server device may further determine, based on the indication that first RAN is congested, and further based on identifying that the user device is capable of accessing the second RAN via the second technology, that the user device should be handed over to the second RAN. Additionally, the server device may instruct the user device to connect to the second RAN via the second technology.
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:
An indoor broadband device receives, from a user device, a first request for content; determines a quality of service (QoS) level at which the content is to be provided to the user device; provides a second request for the content, at the determined QoS level, to a wireless access network, the wireless access network connecting to a network that provides broadband services; receives, based on the second request, the content, at the determined QoS level, from the wireless access network; processes the content in a manner that conforms to the QoS level and in a format that is supported by the user device; and provides the content to the user device.
Abstract:
A network device may store information identifying a coverage area associated with each of one or more cells that are associated with the network device. The network device may receive information identifying a geographic location of a user device. The network device may compare the geographic location of the user device to one or more of the stored coverage areas. The network device may also determine, based on the comparing, that the user device is within a particular coverage area of a particular cell, of the one or more cells. The network device may further send, to the user device, and based on determining that the user device is located within the particular coverage area of the particular cell, an instruction for the user device to connect to the particular cell, where the user device is to attempt to connect to the particular cell in response to the instruction.
