Patent number: 10659972Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a system and methods for determining a minimum number of communication nodes to substantially cover a particular geographical area and for optimizing an extension of an optical network to provide service to the communication nodes. In one implementation, at least one parameter for one or more forces configured to control interactions of a plurality of nodes is received. Each of the nodes has a node range corresponding to an effective operational limit of the node. Boundary information defining a geographical area to which coverage by a network may be provided is received. The one or more forces are simulated to distribute the plurality of nodes. The simulation of the one or more forces causes the plurality of nodes to become positioned in an overall layout such that the defined geographical area is substantially covered by the node ranges.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Benjamin K. Peterson, Samid Ameer Hoda

Systems and methods for calculating pricing adjustments for capital equipment based on gamma factors
Patent number: 9635189Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for calculating fractional capital equipment costs. Various factors are identified for a customer currently being provided with a service from a telecommunication service provider. Subsequently, the factors are processed to generate gamma, which quantifies the amount of capital equipment cost a telecommunication provider should apply to the customer.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: William Gray, Benjamin K.
