  • Publication number: 20240056817
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards reducing unwanted cellular network activities, such as phantom 911 calls or other unwanted cellular network activities. Machine learning models described herein can be trained, using device level data and network level data, to identify devices that are likely to engage in an unwanted cellular network activity. A trained machine learning model can be deployed to identify devices, and devices identified by the trained machine learning model can be re-configured to prevent them from engaging in the unwanted cellular network activity. Devices likely to engage in the unwanted cellular network activity are thus identified and reconfigured to prevent future unwanted cellular network activity before it occurs.

  • Publication number: 20230397087
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards public service answering point (PSAP) call routing issue detection and resolution. A PSAP call routing issue detection tool is disclosed. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can be configured to identify PSAP call routing problems in a cellular network. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can present the PSAP call routing problems for further analysis and correction by cellular network engineers. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can furthermore identify and suggest call routing corrections to address identified PSAP call routing problems. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can optionally also automatically correct identified PSAP call routing problems according to suggested call routing corrections.

  • Patent number: 11792778
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of receiving signal to noise and interference ratio (SINR) measurements from a cell for two or more uplink carriers associated with a mobile device; determining an optimal uplink carrier from the two or more uplink carriers based on plural parameters, wherein the plural parameters include the SINR measurements; selecting the optimal uplink carrier from the two or more uplink carriers; and sending the optimal uplink carrier selected to the cell, wherein the mobile device uses the optimal uplink carrier for uplink transmissions. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230292097
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards an adapting radio access network coverage for location-based alerts. A group of cells and/or cell sectors can be selected for sending an alert, according to selection techniques described herein. The selection techniques can provide a target level of cellular coverage for a geographic area, while avoiding over-inclusion of cells and consequent dissemination of alerts to subscribers outside the geographic area. The target level of coverage can comprise a desired amount of service overlap, to achieve a corresponding level of confidence that subscribers within the geographic area will receive an alert. The selection techniques can furthermore close identified coverage gaps within the geographic area.

  • Patent number: 11190175
    Abstract: An analog front-end circuit for self-calibrating a comparator, the circuit comprising a comparator in a comparator measurement path; a preamplifier coupled to the comparator by a set of switches; and an amplifier coupled to the preamplifier, the preamplifier receiving a reference signal as a first input and a user-definable reference as a second input, the user-definable reference generating a user-definable value chosen to create a known condition at an output of the preamplifier, the preamplifier determines a residual value that represents a measurement error in a signal path comprising the comparator and is used to adjust the user-definable reference value to calibrate the signal path such that threshold boundaries for the comparator can be adjusted to tighten a comparator specification.

  • Publication number: 20060136436
    Abstract: A report definition file (FIG. 7) that is in XML format governs access to and presentation of data from a domain database 364. The report definition file may be created by inputting from a thin client 200 (such as a web browser) a set of report specifications, and converting the set of report specifications into the XML-format report definition file. The thin client 200 may input the report specifications through a definition wizard 314 (step 502), or by direct entry of SQL commands that are interpreted by an SQL builder 332 (step 512). The report definition file is converted to SQL (step 606) to allow retrieval of the data for output to thin client 200.
