Patent number: 11902169Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for latency evaluation and management resolution are provided. A fingerprint for traffic flow over a communication network from an application executing on a device to a multi-access edge (MEC) server instance hosted by a MEC platform may be identified. The fingerprint may be used to track the traffic flow between the application and the MEC server in order to measure round trip time latencies of the traffic flow. In response to a round trip time latency violating a latency management policy, segment latencies along segments of a communication travel path of the traffic flow from the device to the MEC platform may be measured. A management resolution function may be performed based upon one or more of the segment latencies exceeding a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Andrew F.

Publication number: 20230422285Abstract: A network management system may provide, to a base station, a request for base station device information regarding devices connected to the base station. The base station may be identified by a fixed wireless access (FWA) device. The network management system may receive, based on the request, the base station device information from the base station. The base station device information may indicate a quantity of the devices connected to the base station and signal strengths of the devices connected to the base station. The network management system may determine a load of the base station based on the quantity of the devices and the signal strengths of the devices and determine a signal strength threshold associated with the base station based on the load. The network management system may cause a connection to be established between the FWA device and the base station based on the signal strength threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Seng GAN, Muhammad Ebad ULLAH, Andrew F.
