  • Patent number: 11711673
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves wireless user devices over a radio channel that is allocated into subchannels for wireless network slices. A wireless access node schedules resource blocks from the subchannels to the wireless user devices based on their wireless network slices. The wireless access node detects a subchannel has available resource blocks and other subchannels need the available resource blocks. The wireless access node schedules the available resource blocks to the wireless user devices that need the available resource blocks and that use a higher priority wireless network slice. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless user devices over the scheduled resource blocks and exchanges the user data with the wireless network slices. The wireless network slices exchanging at least some of the user data with external systems.

  • Patent number: 11696366
    Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) controls a wireless data service that is received from a wireless communication network over a radio band. In the wireless UE, a radio wirelessly exchanges user data with the communication network over the radio band to receive the wireless data service. The radio wirelessly receives a communication performance metric from the wireless communication network over the radio band. The communication performance metric characterizes the wireless data service received by the wireless UE over the radio band. In the wireless UE, user circuitry translates the communication performance metric into a service instruction for the wireless UE over the radio band. The radio wirelessly transfers the service instruction for the wireless UE to the wireless communication network over the radio band. The wireless communication network modifies the wireless data service for the wireless UE responsive to the service instruction.

  • Patent number: 11615887
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method and system for utilizing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology for tracking human mobility patterns and contact points, via a Software Development Kit (SDK) integrated into client device applications. The SDK performs contact tracing by recording past and current signal data/measurements of Wi-Fi access points encountered by a client device and stores these measurements in a local memory of the client device. The SDK further analyses the recorded past and current signal data/measurements of the Wi-Fi access points using an AI module to derive mobility patterns of user of the client device. The AI module of the SDK then identifies other client devices that the client device may have encountered based on analyzing the mobility patterns of the user of the client device and the recorded past and current signal data/measurements and via performing Wi-Fi network sniffing.
