Patent number: 10694490Abstract: In cell-based wireless network systems supporting subscriber device communication, any movement of a cell's antenna may interrupt service. As cell sizes decrease and transmission frequencies increase, especially with 5G systems, cell transceivers that were once tower or building based are being mounted on smaller structures including the strand of a wired network infrastructure. However, smaller structures may be subject to movement due to weather, nearby traffic, surf, or other conditions. A cell apparatus, particularly one mounted on a structure subject to movement may include a motion detector to report motion of the cell apparatus. A wired or wireless network channel apart from the wireless network system may be used to transport movement data to a network service center or performance analysis server.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Artuso

Patent number: 10645544Abstract: A network device stores overload handling criteria for a real-time credit management system of a wireless core network. The network device monitors for overload conditions based on the overload handling criteria and determines, based on the monitoring, that a potential overload condition exists. The network device receives a first credit control request for a user device, determines a standard resource quota that is responsive to the first credit control request, and allocates an increased resource quota, over the standard resource quota, for the first credit control request. The increased resource quota is based on the potential overload condition and the overload handling criteria. The increased resource quota may prevent the system from reaching a complete overload condition, may reduce overall message traffic, and may provide time for manual or autonomous recovery from the circumstance that caused the potential overload condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Hugo David Munoz-Sanchez, Mirza Z.
