Abstract: A method for delivering content to a user from a Radio Access Network (RAN) cache without waiting for a response from the content server if the user's request meets the criteria of caching and expiration tags on previously cached content. If there is no cached copy of the content in the local device, the local device may treat the request as a cache miss, propagating the user's request and the corresponding response through one or more core network devices for accounting and/or charging. In the case of a cache hit, the local device may return the requested object from local cache and may forward each user content request to the content provider so that the mobile network's accounting devices can register the appropriate charge to the user's account. The local device may then update the RAN cache and expiration timers based on the response from the content servers.

Abstract: A method of generating optimal packet workload for achieving a balance between maximizing cell throughput and fairness across multiple users in UMTS/HSPA Network is disclosed. The packet scheduler of the current invention enhances the performance of other schedulers, such as Proportionally Fair Scheduler in NodeB and RNC in UMTS/HSPA Networks by monitoring recent RAN bandwidth to each mobile device, and increasing buffer occupancy of high rate data-flows in the RAN devices. The scheduler uses the desired performance goals of maximum cell throughput and fairness at various network congestion levels, and controls egress burst rate while delivering packets to the RAN (Radio Access Network).

Abstract: The current invention is applicable to a RAN-cache or proxy operating in a wireless mobile network that is functioning as a transparent inline device intercepting wireless mobile protocols such as UMTS, LTE, WIMAX, CDMA etc.), or a traffic off-load device connected to multiple interfaces towards the Core/Internet.

Abstract: A method of learning and identifying two unidirectional GTP-U tunnels corresponding to a user equipment (UE) in a device placed in a LTE network, where the device acts as a transparent proxy intercepting user plane and control plane protocols on the S1 interface, is disclosed. Methods of pairing the two unidirectional tunnels that belong to same UE, when there is no control plane information or when there is Control Plane information, but the NAS portions of the S1 Control that contain bearer IP addresses are encrypted, are disclosed. Control plane and user plane methods for associating GTP-U tunnels and the corresponding bearer plane IP addresses are identified. Additionally, methods for detecting mobility of a UE, as it moves from the coverage area of one E-NodeB to another, are disclosed. Methods for constructing an eNodeB topology map are also disclosed.

Abstract: The current invention defines a device and a method of logically inserting the device between two other network devices, for example, in a 3GPP Radio Access Network. The device transparently monitors and interacts with one or more control protocol layers in the two neighboring devices. The invention defines methods by which the intercepting node selectively passes through or proxies (selectively modifying portions of the protocols content) in such as way that the neighbor nodes are un-aware of the intercepting device. The proxy operation implies that the intercepting node is capable of terminating some protocol elements, injecting some protocol elements, or modifying protocol elements before forwarding them in such a way that the operation is transparent to neighboring nodes. These selective insertion/modifications facilitate identifying signaling connections for specific mobile clients, and enhancing and modifying service features for dataplane accesses for those client devices, while transparently passing other protocol messages.
