Abstract: Key processing times (such as call setup delay, call failure rate, call success rate, etc.) and other relevant metrics are measured in their respective networks (i.e., in LTE or 3G/2G networks) from raw signaling by various time-synchronized probes in real-time. Raw signaling data are collected from such probes in run-time, and various KPIs such as the end-to-end call setup times, success rates or causes of failure from call initiation in the LTE network to call completion in a 2G/3G network by correlating various raw signaling data collected by the probes in real-time.

Abstract: A system, method an article of manufacture is described for the implementation in a target selection function that receives (from a probe) one or more key performance indicator (KPI) threshold violations, receives a data network topology and traffic routing information (e.g., from the SDN controller or the routers in a data network), correlates the received KPI threshold violations and the received traffic routing information to determine network switches/routers on which in-band telemetry is to be initiated, and communicates an in-band telemetry request to such determined switches/routers.

Abstract: A programmable switch for use in a Software Defined Network (SDN) is disclosed that supports multiple open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) between the switch and various types of controllers, where each such API supports a different function set and possibly uses different IP protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

Abstract: A novel method and system is introduced leveraging the data collected by a network probe to enhance cellular network capabilities to detect a man in the middle attack without using any software on the 3G mobile terminal. The new capabilities compile and process the data of call records collected from SS7 and location update messages in real time to determine the active 3G subscribers and to tag cells as 2G within a 3G coverage area to instantly identify an unknown cell generated by a fake base station. The system also has a component to notify authorities or to terminate the call once the fraud is identified.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method by which past SMS messages generated or received by a user or a user-application are stored in the telecommunications network, and retrieved by the user at any time using a client application. The system allows the user to access this database using a graphical user interface over the public Internet using a mobile or fixed client to search and view past SMS messages. This system can be used for the user to respond to or resend past SMS messages to his/her or other recipient's mobile terminals as well.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method to enable advertisement subsidized telecommunications services, which can deliver a campaign comprised of multiple advertisements, each advertisement using a different format (text, audio and video), to user's different terminals (cell phone, soft phone, PDA, PC, etc.) by using different telecommunications channels (text message, phone call, multimedia message, ring tone) simultaneously. The system is comprised of three layers: a campaign manager to manage campaign state, a service logic, which determines the user population and the channel best matching each advertisement's content and format, and a channel manager which emulates a confederation of service applications to simultaneously tap into various telecommunications channels through a Service Delivery Platform (SDP), or by directly attaching to the operator's network.

Abstract: A method of creating messaging application services by using a drag and drop user interface without needing to write computer programs. The messaging application flow is created in VASC (Value Added Services Creation) system by using micro-service blocks which are connected together in an orderly fashion to represent a service. The service execution logic pulls an application flow based on a service request by a mobile user form a service database and executes it to provide content to the user from a content database.
