  • Patent number: 10728749
    Abstract: A wireless communication system serves a geographically-diverse data service. Network circuitry transfers geographic-diversity data for Fifth Generation (5G) networks to user circuitry that indicates Distributed Unit (DU) geographic data and Common Unit (CU) geographic data. The user circuitry selects two or more of the 5G networks that use geographically-diverse DUs and geographically-diverse CUs based on the geographic-diversity data for the 5G networks. The user circuitry exchanges service data for the data service with service circuitry over the selected ones of the 5G networks. The service circuitry exchanges the service data with the user circuitry over the selected ones of the 5G networks.

  • Patent number: 10609551
    Abstract: A wireless communication system serves a user apparatus with a user data service. Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) transceivers attach to Fifth Generation (5G) networks. A network controller transfers geographic-diversity data for the 5G networks to a user controller. The user controller selects multiple 5G networks for the user data service based on the geographic-diversity data for the attached 5G networks. The user controller exchanges service data for the user data service between the user apparatus and the selected 5G networks. The service controller exchanges the service data between the selected 5G networks and a service apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9241285
    Abstract: In a packet communication system, a PCRF processes communication policy data to generate a communication policy instruction and a user notice. The PCRF transfers the communication policy instruction for delivery to a packet gateway system. The PCRF transfers the user notice for delivery to an ANDSF. The ANDSF processes the user notice to generate and transfer a data file for delivery to a user communication device that displays the user notice based on the data file. The packet gateway system processes the communication policy instruction to filter packets exchanged with the user communication device.

  • Patent number: 9104611
    Abstract: A signaling error management system handles a syntax error in a signaling message received by a wireless communication network from a wireless communication device. The signaling error management system comprises a processing system and a communication transceiver. The processing system is configured to process text of the signaling message to detect the syntax error, correlate the syntax error to an error code, and correlate the error code to a uniform resource identifier (URI). The communication transceiver is configured to transfer the error code and the URI for delivery to the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device uses the URI to retrieve correction data for the syntax error.

  • Patent number: 9058311
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for operating a user communication device are provided herein. In a first example, method of operating a user communication device is provided which includes displaying a HTTP link associated with a media resource and receiving a user selection of the displayed HTTP link. The method also includes displaying a delivery time schedule menu for the media resource responsive to the user selection of the displayed HTTP link, and receiving a delivery time schedule instruction indicating a user-acceptable time frame for receipt of the media resource. The method also includes generating and transferring an HTTP request packet with an HTTP header that indicates the user-acceptable time frame for receipt of the media resource into the user communication device, and receiving the media resource associated with the HTTP link according to the delivery time schedule instruction and responsive to the HTTP header in the transferred HTTP request packet.

  • Patent number: 8880645
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for registering media content with a CDN for transfer at a later time. In a particular embodiment, a method of operating a wireless communication device to deliver media content to a plurality of user devices over a Content Distribution Network (CDN) is provided. The method comprises transferring an upload registration request to the CDN that indicates the wireless communication device and an upload time. The method further comprises receiving an upload confirmation transferred from the CDN confirming the upload registration request and powering down after receiving the upload confirmation. The method further comprises powering up and obtaining the media content. After powering up and during the upload time, the method comprises transferring the media content for delivery to the CDN based on the upload confirmation, wherein the CDN subsequently transfers the media content to the user devices.
