Patent number: 11201812Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for virtual probes. A processor can execute a probe orchestrator service. The processor can obtain traffic monitoring data that describes traffic associated with a logical node. The logical node can include two or more devices that can exchange information as internal traffic. The processor can analyze the traffic monitoring data to determine one of the two or more devices hosts external traffic that involves an external device that resides outside of the logical node. In response to a determination that the one of the two or more devices hosts the external traffic, the processor can trigger instantiation of a virtual probe at the device of the plurality of devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Vikram Seenappa, Vivek Mhatre, Ryan Redfern

Patent number: 11153802Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that determines each of a default downlink forwarding address of a first interface of a user plane and a currently used downlink forwarding address of the first interface of the user plane. One of an uplink user data packet comprising an origination address of a second interface of the user plane, a downlink user data packet comprising a destination address of the second interface of the user plane or both are received, by way of the user plane. One of the default downlink forwarding address, the currently used downlink forwarding address or both can be modified based on the uplink origination address, the destination address or both. Modification of the default downlink forwarding address, the currently used downlink forwarding address or both results in a redirection of an associated packet flow within the user plane. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Jiansong Wang, Joseph Dahan, Ryan Redfern

Patent number: 10966133Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards enabling user equipment to perform route selection across multiple mobile communication technologies. User equipment route selection allows specifying, by the user equipment, information which affects the way the user equipment's network communications are handled by a communication network. User equipment route selection across multiple mobile communication technologies enables certain route selection capabilities whether the user equipment is connected to a 5G Core network mobile communication technology, a 5G Option 3× network mobile communication technology, or a LTE network mobile communication technology.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Feza Buyukdura, Ryan Redfern, Hugh Shieh, Jeffrey Hjort

Patent number: 10798635Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Vikram Seenappa, Vivek Mhatre, Rajendra Prasad Kodaypak, Jiansong Wang, Ryan Redfern

Patent number: 10575218Abstract: Aspects describe renegotiation of quality of service parameters to resolve maximum bit rate mismatches and/or other quality of service parameter mismatching issues that might arise during an inter-radio access technology handover. At about the same time as a mobile device moves from a source network to a target network, the target network dynamically initiates a quality of service modification procedure. The quality of service modification procedure can help resolve the maximum bit rate mismatches and/or the other quality of service parameter mismatching issues.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Jiansong Wang, Ryan Redfern

Patent number: 10470099Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a compatibility of the mobile station with a 3GPP IMS architecture. In response to determining that the mobile station is compatible with the 3GPP IMS architecture, a transfer is facilitated of the machine-type communication message to the mobile station via a network element of an IMS network core. In response to determining that the mobile station is not compatible with the 3GPP IMS architecture a forwarding is facilitated of the machine-type communication message to a machine-type communication interworking function associated with the mobile station, wherein the machine-type communication interworking function facilitates a directing of the machine-type communication message to the mobile station via an SGs interface of a mobility management entity of an evolved packet core of a 3GPP long term evolution network. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Rajendra Prasad Kodaypak, Christopher Bryant, Ryan Redfern, Jiansong Wang
