Patent number: 10527307Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for controlling appliances, particularly climate control appliances such as air conditioning units used in buildings. Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems which provide a framework of semi-autonomous sensors and actuators which can achieve climate control without the need for centralised or explicit coordination. In certain embodiments, the climate control system is capable of identifying suitable pairings of sensors and actuators and taking into account actions of other actuators. The embodiments have particular application in buildings where large numbers of individual sensors and actuators are deployed in an ad-hoc or unplanned manner over time, but can communicate with each other. The embodiments of the invention can provide improved efficiency, reduced infrastructure costs, improved flexibility and can be deployed across multiple sites.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignees: Khalifa University of Science and Technology, British Telecommunications PLC, Emirates Telecommunications CorporationInventors: Fabrice Saffre, Kin Poon, Dymitr Ruta

Patent number: 10327165Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring mobile service quality in a mobile network and also for determining parts of a mobile network which need expansion or upgrade. Embodiments of the invention monitor the market impact and/or service quality, and determine an expansion ranking. The market impact, service quality and/or expansion ranking may view the network from a plurality of perspectives, including a location perspective, an historical time perspective, a future time perspective and/or a network element type perspective. The results of the monitoring and determining can be acted on by predetermined rules and/or actions to derive a list of prioritized expansion tasks for the network.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignees: Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research, British Telecommunications PLC, Emirates Telecommunications CorporationInventors: Beum Seuk Lee, Dymitr Ruta, Kin Poon, Okung Ntofon, Sid Shakya, Gilbert Owusu

Patent number: 9504061Abstract: In response to requests for their use of the resources by the applications, resources are first allocated to “inelastic” requests specified for performance at a specific time slot. A baseline allocation of resources is then determined which is the minimum amount of capacity that has to be used for efficient operation of the resources required to meet the requests. This baseline will include some additional capacity as the minimum efficient capacity is less than the maximum capacity. “Elastic” requests, specified for performance within a predetermined time range comprising two or more of the set of time slots, are then allocated so as to prioritize the use of this spare capacity, bringing actual usage up to at least the baseline allocation of resources. If further capacity is required to meet all the inelastic requests, further capacity is allocated and the baseline redefined to include it.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignees: British Telecommunications PLC, Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research, Emirates Telecommunications CorporationInventors: Sid Shakya, Gilbert Owusu, Beum Seuk Lee, Dymitr Ruta, Kin Poon, Okung Ntofon

Patent number: 8407176Abstract: Patterns of change in system operating parameters are identified which may be used to identify unexpected operational conditions and to trigger an appropriate alert or action. A network is controlled using operating data for the network. Network operating data is received and divided into sequential time periods. A structural description such as an association rule is determined for the received data in each time period and a change pattern in the determined structural description is identified over the time periods. The network is then controlled using a predetermined action corresponding to a predetermined structural description change pattern in response to the identified structural description change pattern matching the predetermined structural description change pattern.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: British Telecommunications plcInventors: Mirko Boettcher, Detlef Nauck, Dymitr Ruta, Martin Spott

Publication number: 20090240644Abstract: The present invention relates to identifying patterns of change in system operating parameters which may be used to identify unexpected operational conditions and to trigger an appropriate alert or action. The present invention provides a method (300) for controlling a network (350) using operating data for the network, the method comprising: receiving the network operating data (110); dividing the received data into sequential time periods (305); determining a structural description such as an association rule for the received data in each time period (310); identifying a change pattern in the determined structural description over the time periods (315); controlling the network (325) using a predetermined action corresponding to a predetermined structural description change pattern in response to the identified structural description change pattern matching the predetermined structural description change pattern (320).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2007Publication date: September 24, 2009Applicant: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Mirko Boettcher, Detlef Nauck, Dymitr Ruta, Martin Spott
