Patent number: 11558912Abstract: Improvement of data throughput via backhaul sharing is accomplished by accessing a cell site servicing data transmission at a first data rate and a connected backhaul network having a backhaul data rate. A determination of whether the first data rate exceeds the backhaul data rate is made and an excess data rate is determined. When the first data rate exceeds the backhaul data rate a neighboring cell site having a second backhaul networks is accessed. A determination is made of how much additional capacity the second backhaul network can handle. When the neighboring cell site can handle the excess data rate backhaul sharing using beamforming is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Iftekhar Alam, Ming-Ju Ho, Alexander Viox

Publication number: 20220239565Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards a frame-based indicator that can convey current network condition information and the type and quality of service currently available. The frame-based indicator can fit the shape of a user equipment, such as surrounding the display screen. The frame can be used to indicate various network information, including, but not limited to signal power, signal quality, noise, type of band available, network speeds and network latency. Network quality and types of services can be differentiated by frame size, frame pattern, frame color, frame color intensity, frame background gradient, frame flash pattern, frame animation, and so forth. The operating system and application programs can use the frame-based indicator to convey the various network-related information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Iftekhar Alam, Ming-Ju Ho, Alexander Viox

Publication number: 20200404558Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising receiving first media content from first equipment of a first source, transmitting the first media content to a first base station having a first coverage area for transmission from the first base station to a user device through multi-cast while the user device is within the first coverage area, and transmitting the first media content to a second base station having a second coverage area for transmission from the second base station to the user device through unicast while the user device is within the second coverage area. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Applicant: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Alexander Viox, Iftekhar Alam, Ming-Ju Ho

Patent number: 10491505Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses may dynamically enhance a first network bandwidth with bandwidth available in one or more other networks based on user bandwidth needs and network bandwidth availability. A gateway apparatus may monitor the user desired bandwidth, determine that the desired bandwidth is greater than a first threshold bandwidth (e.g., a first network digital subscriber line (DSL) service bandwidth), activate a connection to a second network (e.g., a Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobility network), derive the second network available bandwidth, and use at least a portion of the second network available bandwidth with the first network bandwidth to provide at least a portion of the desired bandwidth (e.g., improve user Internet speed). Thus, the gateway apparatus may enhance the first network bandwidth when needed and may avoid negatively impacting the second network by using the second network connection to transfer data if the second network has bandwidth available.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Alexander Viox, Iftekhar Alam, Ming-Ju Ho
