  • Usage measurement collection and analysis to dynamically regulate customer network usage
    Patent number: 8280346
    Abstract: In a network subscriber system, a method of determining how to monitor whether a subscriber's network usage exceeds a quota for the current billing period. The frequency at which the subscriber's usage data is collected and analyzed during the billing period is based upon the probability the subscriber's network usage exceeds the quota at a given point in time during the billing cycle. Usage data is collected more frequently as the probability increases. Usage analysis is performed if the probability exceeds a threshold.

  • System and method for adaptive fair usage controls in wireless networks
    Patent number: 8200188
    Abstract: A system and method to determine excessive usage across a base station coverage region for the purpose of ensuring fair usage for all wireless data subscribers. During a configurable time window, subscriber usage is monitored. Subscriber usage above a threshold level is deemed excessive and triggers an operator-defined business rule. Based on the business rule, the subscriber's service may be reduced. The system and method adapts to the number of subscribers within the base station coverage region when making an excessive usage determination. This approach enables bursty data protocols to be fully supported, while detecting excessive usage patterns.
