Patent number: 10425838Abstract: Attachment data collected by a set of femto access points (FAPs) is utilized to localize, predict, and/or weight potential wireless communication traffic within and between areas. Moreover, the attachment data can be indicative of user equipment (UE) density/traffic within coverage areas of respective femtocells. The attachment data can be consolidated and analyzed to identify location and motion of a UE “swarm”. Moreover, an automatic cell planning (ACP) component can be employed to utilize the attachment data for determining an optimal macro site and optimal antenna setting(s) that facilitate steering/tuning the macro antenna beam to focus upon the swarm area. In addition, the ACP component can facilitate reconfiguration of the macro antenna beam as reported swarm concentrations shift between the FAPs.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Arthur Brisebois, Mark Causey, Adrianne Luu

Patent number: 9778062Abstract: Map information is exchanged between communication devices. A map of a geographical area is received. The map includes embedded interactive links that graphically represent points of interest within the geographical area. An embedded interactive link that graphically represents at least one point of interest is highlighted within the map. Responsive to selection of another embedded interactive link within the map that graphically represents another point of interest within the geographical area, the other embedded link within the map is highlighted. The map is transmitted, with the other embedded interactive link that graphically represents the other point of interest highlighted.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Michael Zubas, Mark Causey, Adrianne Binh Luu

Patent number: 9723540Abstract: A low-cost system and methodology that facilitates improved femto access control by employing Bluetooth® technology is provided. Bluetooth-based femto access control utilizes a Bluetooth modem in a femto access point (FAP) that broadcasts a unique Bluetooth identity (ID). Nearby UEs can detect the femtocell and employ the Bluetooth ID for idle mode reselection and active mode handover behavior. Specifically, on detecting a femtocell, a UE can perform Bluetooth pairing with the FAP prior to performing attachment signaling. Moreover, only if Bluetooth signaling is successful, the UE proceeds to attach to the FAP. Thus, the system and method disclosed herein can control the UEs that attach to the femtocell, thereby reducing the signaling load and improving battery life of the UEs.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2010Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Arthur Richard Brisebois, Mark Causey, Adrianne Luu

Patent number: 9485051Abstract: One or more femto cell access points (FAPs) are employed to facilitate provisioning of security. A signal indicative of an intrusion in an area associated with an FAP can be received, and, based on receiving the signal, an identifier associated with a device in a detection range of the FAP can be determined. One or more frequencies in the detection range of the femto cell access point can be jammed, an attachment attempt emitted from the device in response to jamming the frequencies can be detected, and a telephone number of the device can be identified based, at least, on detecting the attachment attempt from the device. Warnings can also be sent to the device and/or tracking of the device can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Mark Causey, Arthur Richard Brisebois, Adrianne Binh Luu
