  • Patent number: 9991987
    Abstract: An architecture is provided that can scale content resolution in order to mitigate errors in a provisioned service of a communication network, such as a wireless service or a femtocell service that integrates with DSL or other broadband carriers. The architecture can identify fault conditions relating to e.g., bandwidth oversubscription or symbolization integrity. Based upon such identification, the architecture can alter encoding format codecs of certain types of content in order to reduce their resolution/quality, thereby mitigating bandwidth oversubscription fault conditions or freeing up space (without necessarily increasing bandwidth) to insert additional FEC code.

  • Patent number: 9980277
    Abstract: A system and method of minimizing interference and retries in an environment where two or more network protocols utilize the same frequency spectrum is disclosed. A lower-power network controller is co-located with a WIFI controller. The lower-power network controller parses incoming packets as they are received and generates a request signal once it is determined that the incoming packet is destined for this device. This maximizes the likelihood that no WIFI traffic will occur while the incoming packet is being received.

  • Patent number: 9961690
    Abstract: A method in a base station for selecting a transport format is provided. The base station allocates resources to a User Equipment, UE. When a first criterion is fulfilled for the allocated resources, the base station estimates Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio, SINR, by using a first gain offset. The first gain offset relates to a resource allocation according to the first criterion. When a second criterion is fulfilled for the allocated resources, the base station estimates SINR by using a second gain offset. The second gain offset relates to a resource allocation according to the second criterion. The base station then selects a transport format for the allocated resources based on the estimated SINR.
