Patent number: 11477804Abstract: Spectral efficiency for a 5G network, or other next generation networks, can be increased via a resource scheduler of a network node. The resource scheduler can receive a first signal from a mobile device of a wireless network. The first signal can comprise resource request data representative of a first request for a resource of the wireless network. In response to receiving the first signal, the resource scheduler can transmit a second signal to the mobile device via a network device of the wireless network, wherein the second signal can comprise buffer status request data. The scheduler can receive a third signal from the mobile device, wherein the third signal can comprise buffer status data associated with the buffer, and based on comparing bandwidth data to the buffer status data, the scheduler can assign the resource channel to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Douglas Duet, Yuang Lou, George Hirvela

Patent number: 10966130Abstract: Mobile service anchor management (MSAM) is facilitated. MSAM is an anchor management function/system for radio frequency (RF) access configuration/reconfiguration over the downlink, and uplink separated novel frequency division duplex systems. One method comprises determining, by a MSAM system comprising a processor, that a mobile device communicatively coupled to a first network device is associated with a region in which the first network device fails to have line of sight communication with the mobile device; and assigning, by the mobile service anchor management system, the mobile device to a second network device determined to have the line of sight communication for the region. Millimeter watt (mmW) BS devices and devices that operate on other RF bands can be utilized.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Yuang Lou, Douglas A.

Patent number: 10887861Abstract: Harmonization of wireless communication service delivery is facilitated. One method comprises receiving, by an anchor node, from a mobile device communicatively coupled to a network, first information indicative of a request for service for the mobile device, wherein the network comprises a first base station (BS) device configured to provide downlink communication between the first BS device and the mobile device, and another BS device configured for uplink communication between the mobile device and the other BS device. The first BS device can be a millimeter wave (mmW) BS device in some embodiments. The method also comprises generating information indicative of a transmission parameter for a type of access to the network device. The transmission parameter can be generated based on various criteria including, but not limited to, whether there is line-of-sight between the first device and the mobile device, the requested service and/or the availability of network resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Yuang Lou, Douglas A.

Patent number: 10750246Abstract: A system for providing a distributed architecture for mobile streaming content delivery is disclosed. In particular, the system may include bypassing a master head end facility and its accompanying fiber distribution network to deliver a content stream directly to mobile cell sites. In order to do so, the system may receive, at a cell cite, a content stream directly from a content satellite and then format the content into a format suitable for delivery to a subscriber device. The system may receive, such as via a radio access network, a request from the subscriber device to access the content stream. In response to the request from the subscriber device, the system may deliver the formatted content stream to the subscriber device. The distributed architecture may also allow for delivering the content stream jointly with voice data services, such as those provided in a Long-Term Evolution network or other network.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Douglas A.
