Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for monitoring error correction data are provided. The method comprises receiving an authorization request defining a media session between an AF server and a mobile device from the AF server. The authorization request contains a media packet flow identifier and a corresponding forward error correction (FEC) packet flow identifier. The method includes deploying policy rules for the media session to a gateway server, the policy rules including the media packet flow identifier and the FEC packet flow identifier; receiving periodic reports from the gateway server, the reports including packet counts for each of the media packet flow and the FEC packet flow; determining whether bandwidth consumed by the FEC packet flow exceeds a predetermined threshold; and when the determination is affirmative, sending an action request to the AF server.

Abstract: Disclosed are communications devices which can send indications that they are secure, and which can detect when a far end device is not secure (unsecure). A secure device is one that is not connected to a speakerphone or other speaker which is capable of emitting—or actually is emitting—sound which is louder than a certain threshold. If a communication device detects that a remote endpoint is unsecure, the communication device will switch to an unsecure mode. When the switch is made, the communications device alerts the user that the call is not secure so that the user can proceed accordingly.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to network deployment of devices. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource can determine a plurality of deployment thresholds of a plurality of devices, wherein the plurality of deployment thresholds are associated with a type of the plurality of devices. The instructions can cause the processing resource to monitor deployment data associated with the plurality of devices to identify a device with a deployment outlier. The device with the deployment outlier is a device with deployment data that is outside a deployment threshold of the device. The instructions can cause the processing resource to adjust the deployment threshold of the device based on the monitoring.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided by which a second address of user equipment, which is served on a first address in a first network in a first address realm, to be used by the user equipment for a service in a second address realm is detected, the second address is stored together with the first address, and a network policy control element controlling policy in connection with the service in the second address realm is informed about the second address is. In this way, also a single stack user equipment may access services in different address realms.

Abstract: Trigger based analytics database synchronization is described. In one example case, a trigger is invoked based on an operation issued for a record in a transactional database. According to the trigger, one or more data values for synchronization from the transactional database to an analytics database are determined. A message including the data values is formed and added to a message queue through a message infrastructure service including a message broker. In turn, the values from the message are stored in a suitable memory space, such as a staging table, for forwarding to an analytics computing system. Using the trigger and the message infrastructure service, execution of the transactional database operation can be detached in execution from the addition of the value to the staging table and synchronization with the analytics computing system.

Abstract: Event based analytics database synchronization is described. In one example, an event tracking engine can sequence through batches of records in a transactional database that is being synchronized to an analytics database. The event tracking engine can determine a last version attribute associated with the batch, and query the transactional database to identift any records for the batch having a more recent version attribute than the last version attribute. When any records in the transactional database having a more recent version attribute are identified, the event tracking engine finds the data values in the record are different than those in the analytics database. The data values can be normalized, for example, before being forwarded to an analytics system for incorporation into the a analytics database. Over time, changes in the transactional database are identified and populated or mirrored in the analytics database.

Abstract: A platform for storing and reporting of data records associated with management of a population of managed devices is disclosed. Data records are injected into a hosted computing environment in which data processing services are arranged to store and generate analytics associated with a mobile device management (MDM) platform.

Abstract: Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently set up user devices for use in a classroom environment. A management server can display a graphical user interface that includes selection options for defining and using carts of user devices. The carts can be selected and assigned to classes. The GUI also allows the administrator to specify which applications a class will use. Based on these selections, the management server can then manage which user devices install which applications, and allocate licenses accordingly.

Abstract: A policy server and a charging server authorize and authenticate data traffic bypassing a mobile network. The policy server stores subscriber records, each containing one a mobile subscriber identifier corresponding to a communication device. The policy server receives a control session request from a gateway server in a fixed broadband network, including a broadband subscriber identifier and a first network address. Responsive to receiving the request, the policy server creates and stores a control session record including the broadband subscriber identifier and the first network address. The policy server receives an access session request from an application server in a multimedia network, including a mobile subscriber identifier and a second network address. The policy server determines whether the first network address matches the second network address; and when the determination is affirmative, updates the control session record to insert the mobile subscriber identifier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to networks and provides a method and network devices for energy conservation. The method may include detecting media traffic and media management traffic of a first service requested by a user device on a first bearer; segregating the media traffic and the media management traffic on the first bearer by creating a second bearer and transferring the media traffic or the media management traffic to the second bearer. Moreover, the method may include observing the bearer at which the media traffic was transferred, detecting that the media traffic has an inactive status and controlling the energy consumption at the user device based on the inactive status of the media traffic.

Abstract: An approach for spending allocation, executed by one or more processors to provide one or more monetary output values in response to a request for determining spending allocation in a digital marketing channel, is provided. The approach fits one or more models to train a business environment simulator. The approach generates a supervised learning policy. The approach evolves a supervised learning policy into a distribution estimator policy by adjusting network weights of the supervised learning policy. The approach generates an optimized policy by evolving the distribution estimator policy through interaction with the business environment simulator. The approach determines a profit uplift of the optimized policy by comparing the optimized policy and the supervised learning policy. Further, in response to the optimized policy outperforming the supervised learning policy, the approach deploys the optimized policy in a live environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for analyzing application usage on a user device and optimizing application and license distribution for user devices in an enterprise. An example system includes a management server and a data server. The management server can provide instructions to the user device to install a tracking application that gathers application-usage data using built-in functionality of the user device. The data server can receive and compile the application-usage data, creating compiled usage data. Using this compiled usage data, the management server can execute a rules engine to determine an action to take associated with at least one application on the user device, such as redistributing application licenses.
