Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing and forecasting network traffic are disclosed. In some implementations, multiple points are received. Each point represents a time value and a network traffic value. For each point in the multiple points, the network traffic value is decomposable into a trend component, a seasonality component, a burst component, and a random error component. A trend equation is generated for calculating the trend component based on the time value. A seasonality equation is generated for calculating the seasonality component based on the time value. A burst equation is generated for calculating the burst component based on the time value. A random error equation is generated for calculating the random error component. A network traffic equation is generated for calculating the network traffic value based on the time value by combining the trend equation, the seasonality equation, the burst equation, and the random error equation.

Abstract: An access platform of a service provider storing at least one group identifier and a list of subscriber numbers of subscriber devices associated with the at least one group ID.

Abstract: Disclosed is an LED packaging structure using a distant fluorescent powder layer and a manufacturing method thereof. A fluorescent powder layer (10) with a recessed cavity cover structure is used in the packaging structure. A group of dies for manufacturing the fluorescent powder layer are specifically designed in the present invention.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote diagnostics are disclosed. In some implementations, a request for a device diagnostic session is provided from a mobile device to a diagnostic server. In response to the request, a messaging service message from the diagnostic server may be received at the mobile device. The messaging service message may include an authentication token. Upon receipt of the messaging service message including the authentication token, a diagnostic client resident at the mobile device may be initialized. Upon authenticating the authentication token included in the received messaging service message, a secure connection for the device diagnostic session may be established between the diagnostic server and the initialized diagnostic client. Diagnostic commands may be received at the diagnostic client from the diagnostic server via the established secure connection. The diagnostic commands may cause the diagnostic server to retrieve device diagnostics of the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating network capacity or performance are disclosed. In some implementations, a target network resource is selected for evaluation. Key performance indicators for computing a target network resource value for the target network resource are determined. The determined key performance indicators are filtered out of a set of key performance indicators. A data set is gathered. The data set comprises multiple points. Each point indicates a key performance indicator value for at least one of the determined key performance indicators and the target network resource value. A calculation module is trained to calculate the selected target network resource value based on key performance indicator values included in the gathered data set.
