Abstract:
A first device is configured to receive an instruction from a second device, identify network demand associated with the instruction, identify a third device associated with the instruction, send a first load query to the third device, and receive a first load response from the third device. The first load response may identify network capacity associated with the third device and may indicate that the third device is under-loaded, overloaded, or substantially overloaded. The first device is further configured to send a first portion of data, associated with the instruction from the second device, to the third device based on the network capacity indicating that the third device is under-loaded, and send a second portion of data, associated with the instruction from the second device, to a fourth device based on the network capacity indicating that the third device is under-loaded.
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 gateway device, provided in a customer premises, receives a call from a user device, and detects dialed information associated with the call. The gateway device identifies the call as an emergency call based on the dialed information, and terminates all other calls communicated by the gateway device except for the emergency call. The gateway device notifies an outdoor broadband unit, associated with the customer premises, about the emergency call.
Abstract:
A device receives, from a user device and via a first device, a first request for content, and determines whether the content is stored in memory. The device identifies first other requests for the content, received via the first device over a time period, and second other requests for the content, received via a second device over the time period, when the content is stored in the memory. The device identifies a first quantity of the first other requests and a second quantity of the second other requests, and determines whether the first quantity or the second quantity is greater than a threshold. The device transmits the content, to the user device and via the first device, when the first quantity is not greater than the threshold, and transmits, to the second device, an instruction to store the content when the second quantity is greater than the threshold.
Abstract:
A first memory device receives session information associated with a session between a first network device and a user device. The first memory device outputs the session information associated with the session information. A second memory device receives the session information, associated with the session, from the first memory device. The second memory device receives a communication from the first memory device that the first network device is not functioning. The second memory device sends session information to a second network device, based on receiving the communication from the first network device that the first network device is not functioning, the second network device taking over the session from the first network device.
Abstract:
Different access networks may perform signaling and data delivery (bearer connection) for communication services. A device may determine, in response to a request for a service from a user of the device, whether the device is connected to a non-cellular access network. The device may transmit, when it is determined that the device is connected to the non-cellular access network, one or more control messages, relating to establishment of the service, using the non-cellular access network. The device may transmit, when it is determined that the device is not connected to the non-cellular access network, the one or more control messages, using a cellular access network. The device may establish, with a party with which the service is to connect, a bearer connection for the service over the cellular access network.
Abstract:
A first network device is configured to receive a request for a secret key, generate the secret key, and send the secret key to a second network device, a third network device, and a wireless user device. The second network device may send content, encrypted with the secret key, to the wireless user device. The third network device may send content, encrypted with the secret key, to the wireless user device when the second network device is not sending content to the wireless user device. The wireless user device may use the secret key to decrypt the content received from the second network device or the third network device.
Abstract:
A device receives, from a mobile device, a request to connect to a network, and determines, based on the connection request, whether the mobile device has mobility capability. The device registers the mobile device per host-based mobility protocol standards when the mobile device does not have mobility capability. The device registers the mobile device per network-based mobility protocol standards when the mobile device has mobility capability.
Abstract:
An outdoor broadband unit receives a current time, a short term maintenance mode time period, and a long term maintenance mode time period from a remote network device. The outdoor broadband unit determines a mode associated with selection of an antenna beam, provided on an antenna of the outdoor broadband unit, based on at least one of the current time, the short term maintenance mode time period, and the long term maintenance mode time period. The outdoor broadband unit selects an antenna beam to use based on the determined mode.
Abstract:
A device establishes a connection with a user equipment (UE) via a macrocell associated with the device, and provides, to a femto device within range of the macrocell, information identifying resource blocks to allocate to the UE when the UE enters into a femtocell generated by the femto device. The femto device provides the information to the UE when the UE enters into the femtocell. The device also maintains the connection of the UE with macrocell, via the allocated resource blocks identified in the information, when the UE enters into the femtocell.
