  • Patent number: 11886475
    Abstract: A service monitoring system (SMS) transforms machine data from a monitored information technology (IT) environment into meaningful key performance indicators (KPIs) that each represents some measure of a service implemented by the environment on an ongoing basis. An overall health score for the service is determined from the KPIs and a prediction is made for a future health score. Data regarding a particular KPI and other KPIs is transformed to predicted future values for the particular KPI over a prediction window. Additionally, predicted future KPI scores may be used to determine a KPI impact score reflecting some measure of the degree to which the KPI, its related components, or processing related thereto, can influence the actual future health score. The KPI impact scores condition or direct the future operation of one or more SMS processes.

  • Patent number: 11178395
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for dynamically selecting codecs as video is transmitted in real time. In some embodiments, a first codec initially encodes video data, and a second codec is evaluated to replace the first codec. The system switches to the second codec only if an increased amount of power consumption resulting from using the second codec balances with a correspondingly sufficient increase in the quality of the video encoded by the second codec. In some embodiments, codecs are excluded from consideration if it is determined that the local device does not have sufficient processing resources to operate the codec, or if a mismatch is detected between the codec operating on a sending device and a codec operating on a receiving device.

  • Patent number: 9955290
    Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for enabling a group of computing devices to delegate tasks in a manner that promotes energy savings. According to one embodiment, each computing device is configured to identify situations where the computing device has an energy advantage (e.g., when plugged-in) and should serve as a proxy computing device to other computing devices. Each computing device is also configured to identify situations where the computing device has an energy disadvantage (e.g., a low battery) and should seek out another computing device to act as a proxy computing device. In this manner, computing devices can delegate tasks between one another to reduce or eliminate the processing redundancies that otherwise occur when the computing devices work in isolation to maintain network connectivity and carry out tasks on their own.

  • Patent number: 9924402
    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate efficient transfer of quality of service (QoS) context during inter-radio access technology (RAT) handovers. In particular, techniques are described herein for establishing rules for whether a user equipment unit (UE) or an associated network should establish QoS for a mixed-mode application, identifying flow to bearer mappings when translating QoS across an inter-RAT handover, mapping QoS parameters of respective RATs, mitigating QoS depreciation upon multiple handovers, performing one or more actions if QoS is not acceptable in a new RAT, maintaining QoS during tunnel mode, and handling scenarios in which a UE moves between a RAT using network-initiated QoS and a RAT using UE-initiated QoS.

  • Patent number: 9883477
    Abstract: An access terminal pre-registers with a second access network via a first access network to ensure a quick handover in the future. Frequent pre-registration attempts are avoided by implementing a hysteresis timer that restricts when a pre-registration process can be initiated. The hysteresis timer is started when pre-registration is initiated by the access terminal. No new pre-registration attempts are permitted if the hysteresis timer has not expired. An abort condition can cause the hysteresis timer to be aborted early, and a new pre-registration can be initiated. Access points in the first access network may be grouped into one or more pre-registration zones. If the access terminal moves from a first access point to a second access point, a new pre-registration is skipped if the first and second access points have the same pre-registration zone or the second access point is aware of the pre-registration zone for the first access point.

  • Patent number: 9844003
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for enabling mobile computing devices to share observation information using low-energy communication protocols. This observation information can include network connectivity information and GPS location information that is either known to or being sought out by a mobile computing device. When observation information (if any) maintained by a mobile computing device does not satisfy a threshold level of confidence, the mobile computing device can query neighboring mobile computing devices for corresponding observation information that satisfies the threshold level of confidence. Conversely, the mobile computing device can be configured to advertise observation information to the neighboring mobile computing devices when the observation information satisfies the threshold level of confidence.

  • Patent number: 9794866
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to more efficiently scan frequency bands for potential base stations may include a UE configured to store information regarding results of prior cellular scan operations for a cell and to perform a new cellular scan operation while camped in the first cell. The new cellular scan operation may be partially based on the stored information. The prior cellular scan operations may have been performed to identify frequencies of available cellular base stations. The UE may update the information regarding results of prior cellular scan operations with information regarding success or failure of the new cellular scan operation. The UE may maintain lists of cells for which a cellular scan has been successful or unsuccessful and adjust the new cellular scan operation based at least partially on contents of at least one of these lists.
