  • Patent number: 10805217
    Abstract: Control plane devices are selected by a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Gateway (MGW) based on session exchange procedural triggers received from a Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BMSC). In one aspect, the MGW can employ a serving area-based Domain Name System (DNS) query/response exchange for control plane device selection that simplifies the overall complex broadcast core network architecture and design. Additionally or optionally, the MGW can employ other factors, such as, but not limited to, round trip time (RTT), load information, active/inactive link status, etc. to select the control plane devices that are to be utilized for establishing the end-to-end control plane message exchanges.

  • Patent number: 10805772
    Abstract: Providing network device selection for broadcast content is disclosed. Changes to a LTE or LTE-B network can be propagated in real-time, or near-real-time, to a mapping profile representative of the LTE or LTE-B network. This mapping profile can be employed in updating the LTE or LTE-B network. Further, the mapping profile can be employed in establishing a new LTE-B session, adapting an existing LTE-B session, maintaining an existing LTE-B session, etc. Access to a selection rule can enable the LTE or LTE-B network to rank a determined bearer path of the LTE or LTE-B network. LTE-B network and service management can be performed by the LTE-B network or components thereof, such as, at a BMSC component. Moreover, network device selection for broadcast content can be virtualized.

  • Patent number: 10798635
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards selectively steering wireless network data packet traffic to a network edge cloud, which reduces backhaul bandwidth and facilitates ultra-low latency communications. In one aspect, upon receiving a request for data communication by a user equipment in the wireless network, location information is used to override a centralized access point name (e.g., 4G serving gateway/packet gateway, S/PGW, or 5G user plane function) with an edge-located access point name (edge 4G S/PGW or edge 5G user plane function). This facilitates the data communication between the user equipment and an edge-located access point device associated with the edge-located access point name.
