Publication number: 20240163225Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for providing estimated bandwidth ranges to network-attached entities such as applications, user endpoint devices, and customer premises equipment. For instance, in one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes collecting performance data for a communications network from a plurality of sensors distributed throughout the communications network, calculating based on the performance data, an estimated lower limit of an available bandwidth in the communications network and an estimated upper limit of the available bandwidth in the communications network, receiving a query from a network attached entity for the available bandwidth in the communications network, and providing, in response to the query, the estimated lower limit and the estimated upper limit to the network attached entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Sridhar Narahari, Barry Elia, Jae-Sun Chin, Gregory Harp

Publication number: 20220018668Abstract: Facilitating implementation of a multitude of virtual paths for moving an object in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include generating, by a system that includes a memory and a processor, a traversal route grid for travel of an object between a source node and a target node. The traversal route grid can include multiple alternative route segments between the source node and the target node. The method also can include assigning, by the system, respective values to alternative route segments of the multiple alternative route segments. The respective values can be tailored for the object and determined as a function of a requested time of arrival at the target node. Further, the method can include facilitating, by the system, the travel of the object along the group of alternative route segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2020Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Craig Klein, Gregory Harp, Yeeling Lam, Mahendra Kuncham, Barton K. Hawkins, Filip Benuska

Publication number: 20220019229Abstract: Facilitating autonomously linking movement of objects in four dimensions in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include identifying, by a system comprising a memory and a processor, a first portion of a first traversal route grid associated with a first object and a second portion of a second traversal route grid associated with a second object. The identifying can be based on the first portion and the second portion being determined to be overlapping portions during a same time period. The method also can include linking, by the system, during the same time period, a first movement of the first object and a second movement of the second object across the overlapping portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2020Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Craig Klein, Gregory Harp, Yeeling Lam, Mahendra Kuncham, Barton K. Hawkins, Filip Benuska

Publication number: 20210247946Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system obtains data regarding location and trajectory of a prospective advertising viewer, and monitoring the activity and physical environment of the viewer. The method also includes predicting a future condition of the viewer, and predicting a time, location and duration of an exposure of the viewer to an advertising display, in order to define an advertising placement window. The method also includes predicting a level of viewer attention to the advertising display while within the placement window. The method further includes predicting an effectiveness of advertising content exposure to the viewer, based on the advertising content and the predicted attention level; offering an ad placement in the advertising placement window to an advertising entity; and placing an advertisement provided by the advertising entity in accordance with the advertising placement window. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicants: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Global Network Services Slovakia, s.r.o.Inventors: Craig Klein, Joseph Sineath, Barton K.

Patent number: 10123198Abstract: A controller for use in a supplemental response system can include an initiation module that receives a communication from a primary response system. The controller can also include an interpretation module that receives the communication from the initiation module and that interprets the communication to determine a description of attention required by the source. The controller can further include a locating module that identifies a target region based on the first location of the source, and that identifies the supplemental responding entity at a second location within the target region based on the description of the attention required by the source. The controller can also include a communication module that transmits a request to a communication system of the supplemental responding entity at the second location within the target region.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Craig Arthur Klein, Maureen Folkerts, Gregory Harp, Larry Pearson, Barton Hawkins, Joseph Sineath
