  • Patent number: 12375575
    Abstract: A switching device is enabled to automatically perform one or more actions based on one or more notifications received thereby. A notification may be received by a device communicatively coupled to the switching device, or alternatively, may be internally-generated. Upon receiving the notification, the switching device utilizes a notification-to-action mapping to determine which action(s) are to be performed based on the notification received. The action(s) include automatically switching the switching device to a device coupled to a port thereof and/or automatically launching an application executing on that device in order to view the notification and/or content associated with the notification. In other example, the action(s) may include sending the notification to another device, such as a user's mobile phone and/or causing an application executing on the mobile phone to be launched in order to view the notification and/or content associated with the notification.

  • Patent number: 12376172
    Abstract: Techniques for setting up a communication session associated with Evolved Packet System Fallback (EPSFB) are described herein. A fifth generation telecommunications network can implement a server to determine that a user equipment (UE) is incapable of establishing a Voice over New Radio (VoNR) call due to a chipset or other technology used by the UE. The server can send a message (e.g., a SIP380 Alternative Service message) to the UE to cause the UE to begin fallback to another network without waiting for an instruction from a base station in a standardized call flow. The server can establish the communication session for the UE using fewer call flow steps than a number of steps used by a standardized call flow.

  • Patent number: 12363230
    Abstract: A system for monitoring voice services has a service monitor that is configured to periodically assess the registration state of a voice service provided to a customer. If the service transitions to an unregistered state, the service monitor logs the state change and continues to monitor the service to determine approximately when the service transitions back to a registered state. Thus, over time, the service monitor tracks loss-of-registration (LOR) events and analyzes the history of such LOR events to determine when they are indicative of a network or service problem that warrants further analysis or attention by a user. Using these techniques, the service monitor may be able to detect and, in some cases, diagnose problems that are degrading voices services for one or more customers even before such customers realize that their services are degraded.

  • Patent number: 12279254
    Abstract: The invention relates to a user equipment for being scheduled with uplink radio resources. The user equipment receives from a radio base station a first-stage uplink resource scheduling message, indicating uplink radio resources usable by the UE to perform an uplink transmission via an unlicensed cell. The receiver further receives a second-stage uplink resource scheduling message, which is related to the first-stage uplink resource scheduling message. Upon reception of the second-stage uplink resource scheduling message, a processor of the UE determines that an uplink transmission is scheduled in case the first-stage uplink resource scheduling message is valid. The first-stage uplink resource scheduling message is determined valid based on a determination as to whether an uplink transmission has been triggered by another second-stage uplink resource scheduling message within a predetermined time period prior to reception of the second-stage uplink resource scheduling message.
