Abstract: A method comprises generating an advanced signaling call flow and monitoring one or more finite states for one or more calls using the advanced signaling call flow. The method further comprises determining that there is a failure in one of the one or more monitored finite states for a particular call, and comparing one or more performance indicators to one or more respective thresholds, the one or more performance indicators associated with a cell in which the particular call took place and comprising information about the cell at the time of the failure. The method further comprises flagging one or more of the one or more performance indicators that do not satisfy their respective threshold, and determining a root cause of the failure based at least in part on one or more of the one or more flagged performance indicators and the advanced signaling call flow.

Abstract: An item recommendation process, executed by a computer system, including: receiving item data representing item features of at least one item; receiving personal data representing personal features, and associated with a personal style profile, of at least one person from a user; accessing and processing rules data representing links between item features and personal features of style profiles; receiving inventory data representing available items in a retailer inventory of a retailer to the person; and generating recommendation data representing an item recommendation of the item, selected based on the available items, the item features, the style profile and at least one link between them.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for a self-configuring repeater in a telecommunications network. The repeater receives data from a base transceiver station (BTS) via a downlink channel and sends data to the BTS via an uplink channel. The repeater compares the power level of a downlink signal (such as a pilot signal) to a reference power level. If the downlink signal's power level does not fall within a predetermined range relative to the reference power level, a comparator inside the repeater adjusts the received signal's power level by altering a gain of a downlink amplifier chain until the downlink signal's power level falls within the predetermined range. The comparator then applies the same gain to an uplink amplifier chain. In this way, the pilot signal's power level can be utilized to control the uplink noise level at the BTS.

Abstract: The present invention provides greater capacity in a dynamic allocation of power. First, the invention requires the reduction, not the increase, of signal power in low traffic areas. Because this signal power reduction reduces interference in surrounding high traffic cell site areas, those high traffic cell site areas can re-direct some of this surplus power to support a greater voice and data traffic load. Accordingly, the invention increases capacity of voice and data communications in high traffic areas, where it is needed most, by lowering (and dynamically regulating) the signal power in low traffic cell site areas.
