Publication number: 20250053655Abstract: A processor establishes time-based file access limits that are concurrently applicable to file access requests associated with a user ID and detects an abnormal file system access pattern to a file system by applying statistical process control to network layer packets communicating file access requests. Applying statistical process control includes comparing a number of file access requests by the user ID observed in an observation interval to file access limits including one based on periodicity of file access requests and/or a second one based on age of accessed files. Based on the comparing, the processor generates an event based on each time-based file access limit that is satisfied, and based on one or more events, detects the abnormal file system access pattern. The processor initiating an action based on detection of the abnormal file system access pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: Alchemi Data Management, Inc.Inventors: Robert Charles Sims, Peter Anthony DeLine, Michael Randolph Jones

Frequency band selection for integrated access and backhaul (IAB) in wireless communication networks
Patent number: 12096402Abstract: An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) Mobile Terminal (MT) identifies its geographic location and determines a New Radio Licensed (NR-L) frequency band and a New Radio Unlicensed (NR-U) frequency band based on the location. The IAB MT determines received signal strengths for the frequency bands. The IAB MT compares the received signal strengths to and select the NR-U frequency band. The IAB MT wirelessly exchanges network signaling over the NR-U frequency band and establishes an IAB link over the NR-U frequency band. A Radio Unit (RU) wirelessly exchanges user data with wireless User Equipment (UEs) and exchanges the user data with a Distributed Unit (DU). The DU exchanges the user data with the IAB MT. The IAB MT wirelessly exchanges the user data over the IAB link using the NR-U frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2021Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: T-MOBILE INNOVATIONS LLCInventor: David Charles Jones -

Publication number: 20240292341Abstract: Methods, media, and systems are provided for optimizing coverage and power usage in a network deploying an unlicensed band. A first transmission power associated with a primary carrier and a second transmission power associated with a secondary carrier are determined. Location data and channel state information from a user device utilizing the primary carrier and the secondary carrier are received. An interference level may be determined using the channel state information. Based on the location data and the interference level, the second transmission power associated with the secondary carrier is reduced and the first transmission power of the primary carrier is increased. In some aspects, a beamforming technique is applied for downlink transmissions via a 5G New Radio unlicensed band. In some aspects, upon detection of an increase of 3 dBi antenna gain, the second transmission power is reduced by 1 dBm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: David Charles Jones, Anokhi Shah
