Abstract: This disclosure introduces a novel device-initiated power saving scheme that enables the device (such as a ONU or other suitable entity) to achieve efficiencies during power emergencies and enables new communication features with a communication management resource (such as an OLT or other suitable entity) and the monitoring of systems deep in a service provider's network. Additionally, the new power saving techniques as described herein are fully compatible with existing operational power saving methods. Further, new messages supporting telemetry data can be used to plan back office support expansion needs, identify subscribers that are eligible for enhanced service offers and other uses. Finally, this disclosure includes new telemetry messaging techniques to provide novel notification of a system status.

Abstract: Obtain, from a subscriber premises gateway, a data packet having a header field including a unique identifier for a combination of the gateway and a connected subscriber IP device. Transport the data packet through an internal network of a broadband service provider. Remove the header field after the transporting and prior to the data packet exiting the internal network of the broadband service provider to an external network. Store, in a subscriber internet protocol device data repository of the broadband service provider, data, including the header field, representing transport of the data packet through the internal network of the broadband service provider to the external network. Detect, based on the data repository, at least one of an internal and an external anomaly associated with the data packet. Initiate at least one mitigation action in response to the detecting of the at least one of an internal and an external anomaly.

Abstract: A system and method including selecting a mute feature in a first communication session of a first user with a second user using a verbal command by the first user, where the mute feature suspends an audible signal of the first user in the first communication session.
