Publication number: 20240039938Abstract: Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks launched using internet of things (IoT) devices may be detected and addressed using decentralized computing, potentially in combination with blockchain or other decentralized ledger technology. One method of doing this may include identifying an anomaly by comparing traffic data against baseline traffic data, reporting an anomaly as a potential attack, receiving an indication that the anomaly is an attack, and then performing a set of response measures. The set of response measures may comprise allocating a dedicated frequency channel to traffic associated with the attack and assigning devices associated with the attack to that channel, while assigning other user devices to different frequency channels. Records of the attack and associated devices may be recorded and propagated across nodes, thereby enabling each node to respond appropriately even as the device moves from its original location.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Rani Yadav-Ranjan, Arthur R. Brisebois, Serene Banerjee

Patent number: 10194396Abstract: A method for managing a voice call while simultaneously running a data application on a handset having a display includes determining whether the display on the handset is on or off; and if the display is off, then suspending data transfer supporting the data application. Other conditions for suspending data transfer include whether an application is in the foreground of the display; whether the handset is in proximity to a user's head, or if network reception quality exceeds a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Arthur R. Brisebois, William Neil Feidt, John T. Stupka

Patent number: 10165539Abstract: A primary user of a spectrum, such as a licensed user, has primary access authority to use of a spectrum. A plurality of secondary users of the spectrum, which may be unlicensed users, have secondary access authority to use of the spectrum. When the primary user wants to use the spectrum, the primary user sends a message that is propagated to all the secondary users in a geographic region that the primary user wants to use the spectrum. The message specifies the duration of time and the geographic region (location of use) where the primary user wants to use the spectrum. The secondary users in the location of use immediately stop using the spectrum for the duration of time specified in the message and then may resume use of the spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Giuseppe De Rosa, Arthur R. Brisebois, Zhi Cui

Patent number: 10085302Abstract: An access node for a telecommunications network is partitioned into a front end unit and a back end unit coupled by an internet protocol (IP) packet based communication link to provide for data and control packets to be sent between the back end unit and the front end unit. The front end unit performs physical layer and media access layer (MAC) sublayer processing for data for transmission to/from user equipment in the network using baseband processing units that perform highly parallel floating/fixed point operations. The back end unit includes a plurality of general purpose processors to provide data link layer and network layer processing. back end portions may be pooled to provide greater efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignees: AT&T Mobility II LLC, AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Dimas R. Noriega, Arthur R. Brisebois, Giuseppe De Rosa, Henry J. Fowler, Jr.

Patent number: 9125090Abstract: In order to provide load balancing in a wireless network that includes a cell with two or more carriers, sequential service requests for radio resources are allocated to respective ones of the two or more carriers in a staggered manner (i.e., a round robin, or least recently used (LRU) approach). In an embodiment, the sequential requests are directed so as to allocate channelization codes of respective code trees associated with the two or more carriers substantially equally. The signal strength of a carrier may be checked prior to allocation. Trigger conditions may be checked prior to allocating a request to a carrier using the LRU approach. The trigger conditions may include power utilization of a first carrier compared to a second carrier, channelization code tree offset between two or more code trees respectively associated with the two or more carriers, and/or average bit rate per subscriber load of the carriers.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Fereidoun Tafreshi, Arthur R.

Patent number: 8185088Abstract: System(s), device(s), and method(s) are provided to supply a device that accesses and utilizes resources in a wireless network under a lease agreement. A system generates service unit bank(s) that enable service utilization and provides a customized operational profile that enables custom configuration of service in the device. The device can receive lessee-specific operational profile(s) and lease agreement term(s), and can regulate a lease agreement. If the lease agreement expires, the device can lock at least a portion of the functionality of the device and provide an environment to renew the lease agreement. If the device is not returned, the system pursues various asset protection mechanism(s), such as assessment of recovery fees and tracking location of the device. Returned device is commissioned for a new lease. Synchronization of lessee-specific operational profiles amongst device and the system, or network external thereto, can be accomplished through a femtocell network or a macrocell network.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2009Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Robert S.
