Publication number: 20240040471Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to, based on a determination that a user equipment is operating from an airborne aircraft, limiting the use signals with potentially interfering bands in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include receiving, via a communications network, altitude information corresponding to an altitude of a user equipment. Further, the method can include, based on the altitude, generating a signal limiting instruction applicable to limit a signal. The method can further include, communicating the signal limiting instruction to alter the signal associated with the user equipment with respect to a potentially interfering band.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventor: Haywood Peitzer

Publication number: 20230209421Abstract: A system for delaying or inhibiting data is provided in order to shorten the time required for a reselection process from a first communication protocol to a second communication protocol. Reselection from the first communication protocol to the second communication protocol (e.g., 3G to 4G) requires a period of time without data transfers to allow the reselection to complete. The system delays or inhibits data transfers on the mobile device until the reselection process completes or the mobile device is idle for a predetermined length of time. In an embodiment, the system can buffer outgoing data and then send the data once the reselection has completed. In other embodiments, the system can drop packet sessions or ignore incoming packet pages. In another embodiment, the system can delay or inhibit data based on the priority of the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventor: Haywood Peitzer

Patent number: 11627579Abstract: User equipments (UEs) can be efficiently clustered into groups of UEs where a UE of a group can be selected as a host UE to communicate with a radio access network (RAN) on behalf of other UEs in the group. A resource manager component can receive information, including predictive information of predicted future UE performance or characteristics, relating to respective power availability, signal strength, data performance, and transit vectors of respective UEs from UEs in an area, and determine which UEs are to be clustered in a group and which UE(s) of the group is to be a host UE(s) for the group based on such information. The host UE can facilitate communications between the other UEs in the group and the RAN. The resource manager component also can employ a round-robin technique for substantially equal sharing of duties as host UE among multiple UEs of the group.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: James Gordon Beattie, Jr., Haywood Peitzer

Publication number: 20220286470Abstract: Network abnormalities can be mitigated using several levels of responses based on the type of abnormality and the operational level impact. The invention details methods of utilizing software intelligence to orchestrate a variety of network controls to enable the network to protect itself. For scenarios where the software intelligence determines to have low operational impact, certain actions would be applied, such as prompt the network to send a text to a mobile device alerting a user of the mobile device to perform a firmware upgrade while for other, more urgent scenarios, the network can prompt a more rigorous response such as terminating access. The combination of intelligent network observation along with a variety of controls provides an effective network protection.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Haywood Peitzer, Lukasz Grabarski, Sameer Sangal, Yaron Koral

Patent number: 10886961Abstract: Dynamic power class re-registration of wireless devices is provided. A wireless device can exchange data with a communications network. While exchanging data, the device can monitor its usage and based on the usage, generate a power change request. The device can then send the power change request to the communications network, prior to or in conjunction with powering down the device. In this regard, the communications network can receive the power change request, generate instructions for the wireless device, and adjust network resources based on the power change request. The instructions can then be sent to the wireless device. Since the device re-registers its power class with the communications network, handoffs, internetwork thresholds, network resources and other network parameters can be adjusted to compensate for the changed power class resulting into improved service for a user of the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Haywood Peitzer, Arthur Richard Brisebois, Steven A.

Patent number: 10499334Abstract: Concepts and technologies provided herein can provide power efficient radio receiver control for user equipment that can connect to a wireless network. A user equipment executing instructions via a processor can confirm that a battery charge state of the user equipment indicates charged or charging, and can check a user interface state of the user equipment. The user equipment can have at least one radio receiver that is initially active to support communicative coupling with the access point via a primary component carrier radio link. Based on the user interface state and/or the battery charge state that indicates charged or charging, the user equipment can activate additional radio receivers that are available to support the primary component carrier radio link until an active receiver capacity for supporting the primary component carrier radio link is met.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Arthur Richard Brisebois, Haywood Peitzer, Jianchun Zhou

Patent number: 10390317Abstract: A more efficient antenna can be facilitated by accounting for the cable link loss associated with the distance from antenna base equipment to the antenna. As an antenna transitions between various link layers of a telecommunications network, the cable link loss can be accounted for to determine a compensation value. The compensation value can then be used to account for the cable link loss to allow for a more efficient antenna.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventor: Haywood Peitzer
