Publication number: 20220247808Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention relate to system and method for controlling data streaming rate in a content distribution network (CDN) based on the network performance measurement. Embodiments of the system involve estimating a maximum stable rate for streaming data and sending a media control packet including the maximum stable rate to a CDN gateway on a user-side device. Based on the maximum stable rate, a media server may adjust the streaming rate of the media file segments. Upon receiving the media control packet, the CDN gateway read the maximum stable rate and may reduce the instantaneous streaming speed if the current streaming rate is higher than the maximum stable rate. Alternatively, in response to the current streaming rate being much less than the maximum stable rate, the media server increases the instantaneous rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2019Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventor: Chan-Soo Hwang

Patent number: 11381495Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that may determine a net neutrality status. Server and agent of an internet network may each generate two flows of data that are transmitted/received by the server/agent, respectively. The first flow comprises an unspoofed data flow as may be transmitted over the network based on an HTTP GET command. The second flow may comprise a spoofed data flow. The second flow may emulate, or spoof, a video stream or other data flows that may be altered in the network. Server or agent may compare the first flow relative to the second flow to determine differences in performance data, from which a net neutrality status can be detected. Generally, after a measurement command is invoked, the system starts a downstream measurement. Then after completion of the downstream measurement, the system starts an upstream measurement.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: Chan-Soo Hwang, John M.

Patent number: 11212394Abstract: The transmit power level of a transceiver coupled to a digital subscriber line (DSL) line is reduced from a first transmit power level sufficient for the transceiver to transmit data on the DSL line at a first bit rate to a second transmit power level below the first transmit power level sufficient for the transceiver to transmit data on the DSL line at a second bit rate that is lower than the first bit rate. The reduction in transmit power is limited so that the change does not induce time-varying crosstalk sufficient to destabilize a nearby DSL line. While the transmit power level of the transceiver is reduced to the second transmit power level, the transceiver is suspended from transmitting data on the DSL line for repeated periods of time. Suspending the data transmission is controlled to avoid further time-varying crosstalk sufficient to destabilize the nearby DSL line.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventor: Kenneth J.
