Patent number: 11843958Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhancing cellular network coverage. In order to enhance network coverage, churn data is correlated with the measured coverage data for the multiple locations in the cellular network. Based on the correlation, a network readiness status in the multiple locations is determined. Network resources are then deployed to any of the multiple locations determined to have a network readiness status of not ready.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile Innovations LLCInventors: Ashish Tuli, Heitor Almeida

Patent number: 11678016Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for real-time enablement of over-the-top media service applications. An embodiment operates by receiving a device identifier from a customer device including a disabled third-party over-the-top (OTT) application, determining a verification status of the customer device based on the device identifier, determining a customer identifier associated with the customer device, and determining an entitlement status based on the customer identifier. The embodiment further operates by assigning a vendor-issued identifier to the customer identifier, generating a third-party token based on the verification status and the entitlement status, and sending the third-party token to the customer device and a third-party service associated with the disabled third-party OTT application.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventors: Jaison Antony, Heitor Almeida, John Markowski, Peter Caramanica

Patent number: 11470490Abstract: The disclosed system defines a hierarchical subdivision of a geographic area including a unit, a cluster, a region, and an area, where the area includes multiple regions, the region includes multiple clusters, and the cluster includes multiple units. The system obtains KPIs associated with a unit and obtains a network score for the cluster by combining each KPI associated with each unit in the cluster. The system obtains a competitor network score associated with a competing network. Based on the competitor network score and the network score, the system can determine whether the cluster, the region, and the area are performing satisfactorily.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Ashish Tuli, Heitor Almeida, Kiranpal Chaggar
