Publication number: 20160366041Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: December 15, 2016Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Vikram Seenappa, Vivek Mhatre, Ryan Redfern

Patent number: 9510376Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving from a wireless device a request for a network connection and facilitating, in response to the request, a communication session between a wireless access node in communication with the wireless device and a packet data network. Control signals are exchanged between a second network device and a packet data network gateway. The second network device includes a mobility anchoring function and operating in an evolved packet core of a long term evolution system. Eligibility of the wireless communication device to participate in a direct tunnel connection is determined, the direct tunnel allowing transfer of user data packets between the wireless device and packet data network to bypass the mobility anchoring function. Establishment of the direct tunnel connection is facilitated to transfer multiple user data packets between the wireless device and the packet data network.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Jiansong Wang, Ryan Redfern

Publication number: 20160330652Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Jiansong Wang, Ryan Redfern

Publication number: 20160316351Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, process or software that receives data for distribution to a multiple mobile devices, wherein the distribution is via a data dissemination service. A request is sent to a core network element over a control signaling interface to establish a wireless bearer service. The wireless bearer service can be used to wirelessly distribute the data to the multiple mobile devices via a radio access node. A confirmation is received of the establishment of the wireless bearer service, and the mobile user service is announced over the wireless bearer service. The data is forwarded to the radio access node via a wireless terrestrial bearer of the wireless bearer service, wherein the radio access node wirelessly distributes the data to the number of mobile devices via the mobile user service over a common radio channel. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2015Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: Rajendra Prasad Kodaypak, Ryan Redfern, Jiansong Wang

Publication number: 20160270097Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, facilitating establishing a first interface between a processor and the system where the system performs a policy and charging rules function in a mobile communications network and where the first interface bypasses a packet data network gateway and a serving gateway, facilitating establishing a second interface between the processor and the system where the second interface utilizes the packet data network gateway and the serving gateway, providing a first message from the processor to the system via the first interface where the first message is associated with a quality of service authorization, and receiving a second message from the system via the first interface where the second message is associated with the quality of service authorization. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2016Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Jiansong Wang, Ryan Redfern

Publication number: 20160105838Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2014Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Jiansong Wang, Joseph Dahan, Ryan Redfern

Publication number: 20160072713Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a server comprising a memory to store instructions and a controller coupled to the memory, in which the controller, responsive to executing the instructions, performs operations. The operations include detecting a condition requiring a migration of an active transport connection at a source server to a target server without interrupting communications occurring in the active transport connection. The source server is directed to transmit to the target server a migration command with state information from the source server to enable migrating the active transport connection to the target server without interrupting communications occurring in the active transport connection. A message is then received from the source server indicating the source server has received from the target server an acknowledgment that the migrating has been performed. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2014Publication date: March 10, 2016Inventors: Vivek Mhatre, Ryan Redfern

Patent number: 8897285Abstract: System(s), device(s), and method(s) are provided to characterize a temporary identifier for user equipment (UE) in telecommunication procedure(s) in a wireless communication network. Based on radio technology of at least one serving node that enables at least part of the telecommunication procedure(s), the UE generates a TI and a classifier that discloses the type of the TI. The classifier enables distinguishing a TI value in a first radio technology from a TI value in a second radio technology. In addition the classifier enables a serving node that receives the classifier to identify a logic address of a disparate serving node without restriction in backwards compatibility amongst radio protocols utilized by the wireless communication network.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2010Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, LPInventors: Jiansong Wang, Ryan Redfern, Jianrong Wang
