Abstract:
Methods, media, and systems are provided for switching delivery of streaming services to dual-network mobile devices. Instances of streaming content can be first delivered by a network of a first protocol to the mobile device, then delivered by a network that uses a second protocol. This transition takes place seamlessly as the handoff changes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the receiving device through a connection session controller (CSC) server and a switching helper application (SHA) on the mobile device. A session identifier ensures the appropriate streaming instance is paused, resumed, and redirected. The dual-network wireless device is configured to include an SHA configured to initiate and complete a switch of service in conjunction with the CSC.
Abstract:
What is disclosed is a method of operating a video system. The method includes, in a video server, monitoring a geographic location of a wireless communication device, transferring reference frames of a video for delivery to the wireless communication device over a wireless communication system if the geographic location is within a group of predefined geographic areas and stopping the transfer of the reference frames if the geographic location is not within the group of predefined geographic areas. The method also includes, in the video server, transferring update frames of the video for delivery to the wireless communication device over the wireless communication system without regard to whether the geographic location is within the group of predefined geographic areas. The method also includes, in the wireless communication device, receiving the reference frames and the update frames of the video over the wireless communication system and displaying the video.
Abstract:
Media, methods and systems are provided for coordinating changes of network sources for media streams in a telecommunications network. The streams communicate instances of media content via packets to devices. A first network source streams packets of an instance of media content to a device. Each packet includes information regarding the temporal ordering of that packet within the instance and information regarding the sequencing of the packet within the stream. It is determined that a second network source should stream the instance of media content. A point in the temporal ordering within the instance is identified and communicated at which the second network source will provide the instance of media content. The second network source streams to the mobile device the instance of media content from the identified point, without requiring adjustment of the information regarding the sequencing of the packets within the stream.
Abstract:
Methods, media, and systems are provided for optimizing the use of broadcast channels for group communication streams on a wireless telecommunications data network. Transmission proxy servers associated with base stations are used to determine whether a broadcast channel or unicast channel is most efficient for transmission of a group communication stream. Transmission proxy servers examine factors such as number of users, movement, duration and bandwidth required to make the channel determination. A contact management server coordinates the authentication across multiple access networks in coordination with the transmission proxy servers. Delivery can be more flexible, higher service levels can be more easily guaranteed, and secure but seamless handoffs are possible utilizing the claimed embodiments.
Abstract:
Most commercial power reactors in the world, so called second generation of nuclear power plants (NPP), were designed in 1960s and 1970s. Due to technology constrains, these NPP's nuclear fuel burnup data are calculated as a whole of a fuel assembly (FA) based on the total core power output during certain period of time and the theoretical physics calculation of the thermal neutron flux (TNF) distribution in the reactor core. This traditional burnup calculation based on theoretical TNF 3-D distribution for each FA in the core is far less accurate in term of pin-point burnup data along the entire length of a FA. Therefore, the most contribution factor to fuel failure event, e.g. the accurate burnup data at a fine grained location along a FA, could not be obtained by these existing methods and practice in these NPPs.This invention applies the modern machine learning and artificial intelligent methods to provide a much finer-grained TNF 3D distribution prediction for these second generation NPPs. With this pin-point TNF data along each FA's length, the maximum burnup locations in the entire core can be determined. This will result a more accurate method for determine the fuel failure locations after fuel failure events.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of allocating radio resources are provided. The systems and methods involve assigning each of a plurality of mobile stations to one of a plurality of categories, wherein each of the plurality of categories is associated with a different resource allocation scheme. An amount of available radio resources is allocated to each of the plurality of categories. An amount radio resources assigned to each category is allocated to mobile stations assigned to the category based on the resource allocation scheme associated with the category.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for resuming a media object presented following a data loss event are provided. A physical disconnection that occurs at a point during the presentation of the media object is detected. The physical disconnection interrupts the presentation of the media object. Upon detecting the physical disconnection, a reestablishment of the physical connection is detected. Subsequently, an option to resume the presentation of the media object at the interrupted point is presented to a user.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for resuming a media object presented on a mobile device following a data loss event that interrupts the presentation of the media object, wherein live streaming services are used to deliver the media object are provided. During presentation of the media object, a reduced data rate at which data is communicated to the mobile device is observed. The reduced data rate interrupting the presentation of the media object. An indication to pause delivery of the media object to the mobile device is provided. A preferred data rate at which data is communicated to the mobile device is observed and, thereafter, an indication to resume delivery of the media object to the mobile device is communicated.
