  • Patent number: 10749699
    Abstract: A network load traffic management component is communicatively coupled to a radio access network (RAN). The network load traffic management component includes a subscriber scoring module and a subscriber scoring database that operates on a server processor and a server memory. The network load traffic management component identifies at least one network event corresponding to a RAN control plane. The network load traffic management component monitors each network event for a session time, in which each session time is associated with each subscriber interacting with the RAN. The network load traffic management component, repeatedly, determines a performance measurement for each network event associated with each session time. The performance measurement for each network event is recorded. A subscriber score is generated based on the performance measurements for each network event. A predictive indicator score is generated based on subscriber scores and behavioral analytics associated with each subscriber.

  • Patent number: 9860136
    Abstract: A third-party application, executing at a mobile device, may be provided with information describing congestion levels in a network, such as a cellular wireless network through which the mobile device connects. In one implementation, the third-party application may select, based on the information describing the congestion levels, a data flow, from a number of data flows, to use when communicating with a destination device, each of the data flows being associated with different quality of service (QoS) parameters and being associated with different charging rates. The mobile device may communicate, through a proxy server, and using the selected data flow, with the destination device. The communication with the destination device may be implemented using sponsored data that is not charged to an account associated with an owner of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9781541
    Abstract: A server may receive provisioning information for a client device; provision, based on the provisioning information, the client device to prepare the client device to gather data to form a data record and communicate with a user device, via the server, to receive or transmit information relating to the data record; and receive a communication request from the user device via a first network. The communication request may include a request to transmit the information relating to the data record to or from the client device. The server may communicate with the client device via a second network, on behalf of the user device, to process the communication request based on authorizing the user device. The second network may be different from the first network. The server may provide a response to the communication request to the user device. The response may include the information relating to the data record.

  • Patent number: 9467274
    Abstract: A first device may receive provisioning information for a second device; establish a tunnel with the second device within a first network based on receiving the provisioning information; provide the provisioning information to the second device to cause the second device to gather or process data within the first network; and receive a command instruction from a user device via a second network. The command instruction may relate to the data gathered or processed by the second device. The first network may be separate from the second network. The first device may communicate with the second device within the first network and independently of the second network to process the command instruction; form a response to the command instruction based on processing the command instruction; and provide the response to the command instruction towards the user device.

  • Patent number: 9264364
    Abstract: A first device may receive data associated with a second device from within a first network and independently of a second network. The second device may include a sensor or an application to form or process a data record. The first device may establish a bearer between the first device and a particular user device, of multiple user devices, in accordance with a bearer policy; and provide the data towards the particular user device via a first sub-network, of multiple sub-networks, of the second network and via the bearer. The first sub-network may be independent of a second sub-network of the multiple sub-networks. The second sub-network may permit user device data to be transmitted between the multiple user devices. The first sub-network and the second sub-network may consume different levels of network resources.

  • Patent number: 9077631
    Abstract: A network device is configured to receive information relating to factors associated with quality of experience issues. The network device is configured to analyze the information. The network device is configured to predict that a quality of experience factor associated with a particular type of communication will exceed a threshold level a future time. The network device is configured to send a message to the device, the device generating a rule or policy; and the rule or policy instructing one or more other network devices to increase a capacity of the network to prevent the quality of experience factor from exceeding the threshold value at the future time.

  • Patent number: 9026644
    Abstract: A system, associated with a service provider network, is configured to monitor traffic, that is traveling to or from the service provider network, to obtain traffic metrics that correspond to a collection of network layers, where the network layers; process the traffic metrics with respect to each of the network layers to identify an anomaly, associated with the traffic, that corresponds to at least one of the network layers; send a request for packets associated with the traffic based on the identification of the anomaly; receive copies of the packets associated with the traffic; analyze the copies of the packets to obtain information associated with the anomaly; and send a notification that indicates that the anomaly has been identified, where the notification includes the traffic metrics associated with the traffic or the information associated with the anomaly.
