Patent number: 10554506Abstract: A system and method that facilitates mobile device selection among available qualities of service is described herein. A mobile device presents a user interface to enable selection of change to a current quality of service on the mobile device. The user interface further enables selection of one or more parameters associated with the selected change to the current quality of service. In response to the selection, the mobile device transmits to the telecommunications network the selected change in quality of service. The mobile device then receives the selected change in quality of service if the telecommunications network is able to accommodate the selected change.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Christopher H. Joul, Gamze Seckin, Pablo Tapia

Patent number: 9794747Abstract: A location continuity application server described herein is configured to access from an access network a set of location data associated with a position measurement for a mobile device. The location continuity application server may also access from another access network another set of location data associated with another position measurement for the mobile device and combine the sets of location data to determine a location of the mobile device. Further, prior to accessing the set of location data, the location continuity application server may provide reference location data associated with a reference location of the mobile device to the access network to enable the access network to obtain the position measurement based at least on the reference location data. The location continuity application server may also access the set of location data and determine the location of the mobile device responsive to a request from an emergency service provider.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Magesh Annamalai, Gamze Seckin

Patent number: 9462579Abstract: A system and method that facilitates mobile device selection among available qualities of service is described herein. A telecommunications network sends a notification to a mobile device when a change in quality of service is available to the mobile device. The mobile device then enables selection of an upgrade or downgrade to the current quality of service. In response to a selection, the mobile device transmits to the telecommunications network the change in quality of service. The telecommunications network then adjusts the quality of service in accordance with the request.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Christopher H.

Patent number: 8761761Abstract: A location continuity service having a location continuity application server (“LCAS”) that utilizes location data generated by multiple networks to determine the location of a mobile device is disclosed. The LCAS specifies a suitable reconciliation process that identifies two or more location estimation techniques that are implemented by different access networks and indicates how to utilize the location data produced by the identified estimation techniques. The LCAS interacts with various access networks identified by the reconciliation process in order to receive location data (e.g., positioning measurements and/or estimated locations) generated by the access networks and analyzes the received data to determine the location of a mobile device and provide the determined location to a location-based service. In some examples, an LCAS also provides location continuity when a mobile device moves between a home communications system and a visited communications system.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Magesh Annamalai, Gamze Seckin

Patent number: 7599307Abstract: A Quality of Experience (QoE) framework provides a technique to assess the end user experience in a mobile wireless communication environment, such as 2.5G or 3G networks, or in any other wireless or hardwired communication environment. The framework is usable in conjunction with media streaming applications and enables a combination of network layer, transport layer, codec layer, and application layer measurements in extracting results. The extracted results can be used to monitor and improve, if necessary, the end user experience over severely variable network conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2004Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Vidiator Enterprises Inc.Inventors: Gamze Seckin, Raghavendra C.

Publication number: 20080098446Abstract: In a multicast and/or broadcast streaming environment over wired and/or wireless networks, a server provides a plurality of different streams to each group (such as multicast groups) of client devices. Each of the client devices in the respective groups tune in to one of the plurality of streams that is most optimum. Quality of Experience (QoE) metric data or other data pertaining to dynamically changing client device characteristics or channel conditions are collected and evaluated by the server. If results of the evaluated metric data recommend a change to a different stream for a particular one or more client devices, the server switches the client device(s) to a different stream in the same group, or switches the client device(s) to a different stream in a different group if that stream is not available in the current group.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2005Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: Vidiator Enterprises Inc,Inventors: Gamze Seckin, Lali Sarna, Jayank Bhalod

Publication number: 20040240390Abstract: A dynamic bandwidth adaptation (DBA) algorithm is provided, such as for RTP/UDP/IP-based 2.5 G and 3 G wireless streaming systems. The DBA algorithm enables steady streaming quality and smooth transitions during congestion and network resource fluctuation periods, by automatically adjusting the video or audio bit rate stream to suit a changing bandwidth of a channel. The DBA algorithm monitors the channel for statistically significant and persistent changes in the bandwidth that may be associated with packet loss, delay, or delay variation. When these changes occur and when there is an existing closely matching but lower bit rate stream, the streaming server switches over to that lower stream. Switching to a higher bit rate stream may also be performed. Base delay or delay variation tracking information is used to further determine, improve, and optimize bandwidth adaptation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2003Publication date: December 2, 2004Applicant: Vidiator Enterprises Inc.Inventor: Gamze Seckin
