Publication number: 20240129787Abstract: A wireless communications system comprises wireless local area network (WLAN), WLAN controller coupled to the WLAN, a core network, a RADIUS based interface, and an interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF. The WLAN controller is configured to transmit, via the RADIUS based interface, to the AAA, a request to authenticate a user equipment (UE) currently accessing the core network, wherein the first message comprises an identifier identifying the UE. The PCRF is configured to transmit, via the interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF, a policy associated with the UE, wherein the policy indicates a quality of service (QoS) subscribed for by a user of the UE in the core network. The WLAN controller is further configured to manage resources within the WLAN, based on the policy, to establish a session between the UE and the WLAN.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Julio C. COSTA, Sameer Akbar KHAN, Muralidhar MALREDDY, Bhanu Prakash VORUGANTI

Patent number: 9807819Abstract: A wireless network of a first type receives a request for network entry from a mobile station. A service continuity query is sent to a service node. A service continuity response is received from the service node. The service continuity response includes a network access identifier. The network access identifier is determined to be associated with an existing session on a wireless network of a second type. The existing session is using a mobile internet protocol address. On the wireless network of the first type, a session is assigned the mobile internet protocol address.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Lei Zhu, Terry Daniel Nebergall, Chidambaram Pavanasam, Daniel J.

Patent number: 8055561Abstract: A system and method for determining the cost per unit transaction for running an application on a server system is disclosed. The total transaction capacity of a system is determined as well as the total storage capacity during a time period M. The total fixed cost and the total variable cost during the time period are also determined. A total cost per unit transaction is determined from the total transaction capacity plus the total storage capacity divided by the total fixed and variable costs. The resource usage of the system by the application is tracked during the time period M. The cost billed to the application user is the resource usage of the application multiplied by the total cost per unit time for the time period M.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2004Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Sameer Akbar Khan, Nasir Mahmood Mirza, Usman Mohammed Naim

Patent number: 8010942Abstract: A method is provided for designing a service which is made up of one or more service applications in which availability definitions are displayed on a graphical user interface in the class selection process. The method involves displaying classes and class definitions on a graphical user interface, selecting a class for each of the service applications, displaying an availability definition for each of the selected classes, and prompting a user to confirm the selection of the class based on the availability definition. If the selection of the class is confirmed, a design profile indicating the resources required for the class is generated and displayed. If the selection of the class is not confirmed, the classes are redisplayed.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Nasir Mahmood Mirza, Sameer Akbar Khan, Usman Muhammad Naim, Brajendra Singh Thakur, Andrew L.
