Measuring and using dispersion for user mobility analytics to improve management of cellular systems
Patent number: 11363481Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches dispersion analysis of individual UE devices, measuring the span of cellular locations in a 5G network over which the bulk of a user's data, voice minutes and text messaging usage take place. Dispersion analysis also measures the span of cellular locations over which the bulk of a user's transactions and failed transactions take place, providing insights into camping behavior on specific cellular locations and hot spot formation. The technology disclosed includes new collection and filtering of location data to pinpoint cellular communication challenges encountered by users as well as system improvement and remediation opportunities. Additionally, this technology enables reporting of the detected behavior and related hot spots formation analysis with identifiers of UE mobile devices involved. The technology also applies to 3G 4G and future mobile networks and can be utilized for a group of UE devices selected for analysis, by device, geography, or affinity.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Spirent Communications, Inc.Inventors: Peretz M.

Updating policy and radio access network decisions based on dispersion analytics of cellular systems
Patent number: 11310731Abstract: The disclosed technology takes into account mobility behavior and interactions with a serving cellular network of a UE mobile device, when determining network interaction parameters for the UE, including providing an identifier of the UE to a NWDAF component that subscribes to receive notices that report changed or changing events, including a change in connectivity to any cell for any UE and any service usage on the cell and performs a dispersion analysis by analyzing the incoming notices to determine multiple dispersion indices as the UE mobile device changes its selection of a base station or a cell or a slice. Also included are network elements receiving the dispersion analysis for the UE mobile device and performing a policy update and/or a radio access network (RAN) decision for the UE mobile device based on at least the dispersion analysis. The technology also applies to 3G, 4G and future mobile networks.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Spirent Communications, Inc.Inventors: Peretz M.

Patent number: 11277777Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches detecting abnormal behavior of a UE mobile device, including a network data analytics function component, in communication with core network components of a cellular network, subscribing to location change-related events that report a change event for a UE device connection to and/or drop or handover from a cell. Included is analyzing location change-related events to detect abnormal handover behavior when the UE device changes its selection of a base station or cell more than N times in not more than M minutes, and reporting the detected abnormal handover behavior with an identifier of the UE mobile device involved and the involved cell's ID. The technology also applies to a group of UE devices selected for analysis, by device, geography or custom-defined affinity, with selection changes among a set of base stations or neighboring cells, each selected at least twice by the UE device in M minutes.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Spirent Communications, Inc.Inventors: Peretz M.

Patent number: 8230212Abstract: The present invention provides a method involving a mobile node, a home agent, and an authentication server in a wireless communication system. The method includes generating, at the authentication server, a first security key that indicates a secure association between the home agent and the mobile node based on a second security key that indicates a secure association between the mobile node and the authentication server. The method also includes generating, at the authentication server, at least one first index associated with the first security key. The first index is also generated by the mobile node. The method also includes storing, at the authentication server, the first index and the first security key.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Peretz M. Feder, Semyon B. Mizikovsky

Patent number: 8086216Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for implementation in a policy control and charging rules functional entity in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving, from at least one of a source policy and charging enforcement function in a source access network or a target policy and charging enforcement function in a target access network, information indicative of a mobile unit that has handed off from the source access network to the target access network. The method also includes establishing a first session for communicating policy and charging rules associated with the mobile unit. The first session is concurrent with a second session for communicating policy and charging rules associated with the mobile unit. The second session was previously established with the source policy and charging enforcement function in the source access network.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Peretz M. Feder, Konstantin Livanos

Patent number: 6522881Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a wireless communications network searches for the best serving access point of a base station as a function of communication link quality and load levels, thereby allowing a subscriber terminal to react to changes in RF conditions and load levels. In one implementation, a wireless modem in a fixed wireless access network initiates an access point searching algorithm in response to a triggering condition, such as initially powering-up the subscriber terminal or degradation of communication link quality or load levels. After detecting beacons for a plurality of neighboring access points, the wireless modem selects the best access point as a function of communication link quality and relative load levels to maintain adequate service quality and to react to changes in load levels. After an initial selection, the wireless modem may continually monitor quality/load conditions to determine whether to select a new access point.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2000Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Peretz M.

Patent number: 5216738Abstract: A bundle of optical fibers having a linear first face and an area second face includes a frame for constraining the linear face to a geometry which compensates for any potential misalignment of pixels due to the movement of an electrostatic drum juxtaposed with the linear end. The fiber optic bundle is made of ribbons of optical fibers. The frame includes an elongated opening of a shallow sawtooth geometry where each "tooth" has a width to accept a ribbon and an offset at one end to raise the respective edge of the ribbon in a direction opposite to that in which the drum is moving.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1992Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Assignee: Photon Imaging Corp.Inventor: Peretz M.
