Patent number: 11115454Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods for real-time feedback for online collaboration communication quality. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes monitoring a conference between a plurality of participants, wherein each participant accesses the conference via a respective Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) device. The method further includes detecting, by a processor, an indication, by a scoring system that monitors the conference, of a degradation of sound quality of at least one VoIP device being used to access the conference. The processor engages in verifying the indication of the degradation by analyzing a peer-to-peer test between the VoIP device that has an indication of a degradation of sound quality and a VoIP device that does not have an indication of a degradation of sound quality.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Al Chakra, Ahmad Abdul Wakeel, Kevin Carr, Faisal Ghaffar

Patent number: 10541931Abstract: A data congestion control can operate in a hierarchical sensor network. A first data rate of data received from a set of devices is determined to compare unfavorably to a congestion threshold. A most favorable negotiation score of a set of negotiation scores corresponding to the set of devices is determined. A proposed reduced transmission rate that is less than a current transmission rate of the device and that compares favorably a boundary conditions of the device is determined. A transmission rate reduction request is generated for transmission to the one of the set of devices that indicates the proposed reduced transmission rate. An updated data rate of the data received from the set of devices is determined, and a difference between the updated data rate and the first aggregated data rate corresponds to a reduction of rate of transmission by the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Grant, Kelley Anders, Faisal Ghaffar, Ahmad Abdul Wakeel
