Abstract: A method of troubleshooting a communication service, a troubleshooting tool, and a system are disclosed. Each involves bi-lateral testing of a customer premise equipment in a customer network and a communication service provider router in a communication service provider network. Bi-directional information generated in the bi-lateral testing is stored in a datastore for later retrieval in troubleshooting the customer premise equipment and communication service provider router. User interaction is also stored in the datastore to track customer behavior which can be used alone or in combination with the bi-directional information to monitor performance and/or troubleshoot the customer premise equipment and communication service provider router.

Abstract: A method includes communicating to a plurality of user equipment (UE) in a cell using beamforming. The plurality of UE includes a first group of UE in a first sector of the cell and a second group of UE in a second sector of the cell. The method further includes monitoring positions of the plurality of UE in the cell. In addition, the method includes determining that at least one UE of the first group of UE is in a first region of the first sector, which indicates that a beamform corresponding to the at least one UE has a potential of interfering with one or more other beamforms corresponding to the second group of UE. Based on the at least one UE being in the first region of the first sector, beamforming is disabled to the at least one UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electrophoretically displaying a brand identifier of a telecommunications service provider or equipment manufacturer on the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A wireless communication system to synchronize data transfer rates. A hard disk drive controller receives a first Long Term Evolution (LTE) Radio Resource Connection message generated by an eNodeB proposing a wireless communication network download data rate. The hard disk drive controller compares the proposed wireless communication network download rate in the first LTE RRC message with a hard disk drive storage data rate. If the proposed wireless communication network download rate is higher than the hard disk drive storage data rate, then the hard disk controller transfers a second LTE RRC message requesting a lower wireless communication network download rate.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for monitoring communication data for multiple applications on a wireless device. In particular, a wireless access node is configured to monitor signal to noise data for a first frequency band from a second frequency band. When the signal to noise data meets noise criteria, the access point schedules observation periods in the first frequency band to determine intermodulation distortion for the first frequency band from the second frequency band. Based on the intermodulation distortion meeting distortion criteria, the access point schedules the second frequency band to transmit data only when the first frequency band is neither transmitting nor receiving data.

If the call is associated with the services, then the call is assigned a virtual number and connected to an intermediate communication system, which determines at least a second portion of the unified communication service associated with the virtual number. The call is then connected to the unified communication system to provide access to the first and second portions of the unified communication service.
