Abstract: Fog computing systems are provided comprising edge-nodes and middle-nodes between edge-nodes and cloud-node. These nodes form a hierarchical structure with each cloud, middle node having children nodes, and each middle, edge node having a parent-node. Each edge-node receives data from sensors, assigns reception-timestamp to each data indicating when data has been received to produce series of timestamp-ordered data, trains local model through machine-learning based on said series of timestamp-ordered data, and sends said series to parent-node of the edge-node. Each middle-node collects series of timestamp-ordered data from children nodes of the middle-node, trains supra-local model through machine-learning based on said collected series of timestamp-ordered data, and sends said collected series to parent-node of the middle-node. Parent-children structures, edge-nodes and middle-nodes for such fog computing systems are also provided.

Abstract: A customer self-service tuning system assists a mobile device user in adjusting his network settings and device configuration. Device, network and performance metrics are stored for a population. Over time all of these suggest changes in the device or network that change measured performance. The potential improvement(s) are presented to the user for selection. Performance measurements are taken and the user can choose to go forward with the new configuration or to revert. Each time a user requests self-care service, a new cohort is extracted from the then current overall population and analyzed for similarity to the user at that point in time. Each time an improvement is selected, the history of device states and network states is augmented. Identified variances are transformed into an action plan specific to a user and implemented on the device or network upon concurrence.

Abstract: A system communicatively couples a server to a plurality of mobile wireless device clients to receive and track customer care related information which has been captured on any one of the clients. The server uses information sent by a client to initiate a customer care request ticket and responds to the client request with a ticket number and request description compiled using the information from the client. A system receives from a mobile device user a request to tuneup, a devstate extracted from a cache stored in the mobile device, and proposes at least one delta devstate operation to resolve the perception; making an adjustment or guiding the user to make an adjustment to execute the proposed delta operation; and at the end of an evaluation period, offers to revert to the stored prior state; to accept the delta state; or to continue the tuneup process.

Abstract: A minimum confidence level is applied to recognize a localizable wireless system debility from a debility which is invariant from place to place or which cannot be significantly distinguished from service performance levels of comparable mobile user terminals in the network as a whole. Reports received by the population of users of a service or product family are scored, aggregated, normalized, and averaged overall and for each geographic service area. A report is received from a particular end user and the customer operated wireless instrument and transformed into an individual user experience score over a length of time and breadth of locations. The reports provided by the population of users are transformed into a population experience score that reflects usage in the same time and locations reported from the wireless instrument of the particular end user. Various potential causations are considered and those which exceed a minimum level of confidence are presented.
