Patent number: 11563539Abstract: Concepts and technologies directed to agile transport for background traffic in cellular networks are disclosed herein. In various aspects, a system can include a processor and memory storing instructions that, upon execution, cause performance of operations. The operations can include determining a capacity of a communication path that communicatively couples a user equipment to a radio access network cell site. The operations can include identifying, from the radio access network cell site, a queue that is constructed for the user equipment. The operations can include assembling a plurality of probe burst packet sets from a background traffic flow. The operations can include probing the communication path for spare capacity using the plurality of probe burst packet sets and delivering the background traffic flow to the user equipment using the spare capacity while the communication path is not busy.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Emir Halepovic, Vijay Gopalakrishnan, Hulya Seferoglu, Muhammad Usama Chaudhry, Shibin Mathew, Shanyu Zhou, Balajee Vamanan
