Abstract: A system of cameras can be used to generate a complete field of view within an edge network. For example, one camera can have a field of view where part of the view is obstructed by an object and/or by the camera's orientation. Yet another camera that is a part of the edge network can supplement the view of the first camera by providing an alternate view. The two views can be stitched together by a coordinate system such that a complete field of view can be utilized by both cameras. Additionally, where a field of view is not available by any stationary camera, the system can dispatch a mobile camera to help supplement the views.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to audio and video synchronization. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an audio-video (“AV”) synchronization system can simultaneously capture samples of a pre-encode media stream and a post-encode media stream. The pre-encode media stream can include AV content prior to being encoded. The post-encode media stream can include the AV content after being encoded. The AV synchronization system can align a pre-encode video component of the pre-encode media stream with a post-encode video component and can determine a video offset therebetween. The AV synchronization system can align a pre-encode audio component of the pre-encode media stream with a post-encode audio component of the post-encode media stream and can determine an audio offset therebetween. The AV synchronization system can then compare the video offset and the audio offset to determine if the post-encode media stream is synchronized with the pre-encode media stream.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards generating a simulated virtual experience that represents predicted interaction of a user/vehicle with traffic in a traffic zone. A user who is considering entering a traffic zone (e.g., that charges a fee for usage) can request a simulated virtual experience of what is likely to occur if the user decides to enter. Based on the simulated virtual experience, which can be a graphical visualization in 3D, the user can make an informed decision as to whether to enter and pay, or not enter. User-specific data such as user preferences and other provided criterion can be used with respect to generating the simulated virtual experience. For current users about to enter the zone, current traffic data is used along with historical data in generating the simulated virtual experience.

Abstract: For carrier's that have a large number of user equipment (UE) devices camped on them, the experience of a user equipment devices that utilize a subscriber prioritization identity (SPID) can be of a lower quality than it would be on another lower priority carrier because of the carrier load. Thus, SPID based UEs can be placed on carriers with the best throughput potential in the uplink. To achieve this, a SPID profile for the SPID based UE can be dynamically changed such the SPID based UE can transition to a carrier of better quality. UE devices are grouped per SPID ranges and each SPID has assigned cell carrier priority. In one embodiment, a system optimization network can monitor and detect UE performance on each cell and determine which cells are underperforming and which cells are performing better than other cells.
