Abstract: A capability is provided for detecting congestion in a communication network. A congestion condition is detected for the network based on resource utilization information associated with the network and a set of user quality-of-experience (QoE) indicators associated with the network. An indication of congestion in the network is detected based on resource utilization information associated with the network and a determination as to whether or not to generate detect a congestion condition for the network is made based on one or more user QoE indicators associated with the network. An indication of congestion in the network is detected based on resource utilization information associated with the network and a determination as to whether or not to generate a congestion alert for the indication of congestion in the network is made based on one or more user QoE indicators associated with the network.

Abstract: A wireless multimedia messaging communications method and apparatus that permits a subscriber to a wireless telecommunications service to receive and generate multimedia messages from known wireless personal communications devices, i.e., cellular/PCS telephones. A multimedia message may be received by the network and selectively delivered to a subscriber of the wireless service. Upon receipt of the message, the network determines an appropriate action to take with respect to the message based upon a profile of the subscriber. The subscriber is then notified by the network of the message and then delivers the message and any multimedia attachments to the message to the subscriber, according to a delivery indication sent by the subscriber to the network. Advantageously, the method allows for the conversion of messages as appropriate, i.e.
