Patent number: 11729076Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying, by a packet analyzer, one or more silence packets within a network and initiating, by the packet analyzer, a replacement of the one or more silence packets with one or more performance silence packets. The one or more performance silence packets are transmitted between a first node of the network and a second node of the network during a silence period. The method further includes receiving, by the packet analyzer, information associated with the one or more performance silence packets; and analyzing, by the packet analyzer, a connection between the first node of the network and the second node of the network using the information associated with the one or more performance silence packets.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: James Gordon Beattie, Jr., Haywood S. Peitzer, Jeffrey A. Krinsky

Publication number: 20220256307Abstract: A radio access network system is described that determines a signal metric associated with a user equipment or device. The user equipment device can implement an altered transmission policy. The altered transmission policy can alter a strength of transmissions by increasing power consumption per transmission, increasing a length of timer per transmission, and altering other parameters of transmissions. The altered transmission policy can also alter an error correction policy. The error correction policy can indicate that error correction transmissions are to be decreased. The altered transmission policy can be implemented until the signal metric changes to a more desirable level.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Jeffrey Krinsky, Bahman Khosravi-Sichani

Publication number: 20220224744Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for improving media quality at the network edge by encoding the media into a digital stream that is carried, end-to-end, to a peer edge device. For instance, in one example, a method includes initiating, by a first computing device, a connection to a second computing device, selecting, by the first computing device, a codec for encoding data into a data stream, wherein the codec is selected such that the data stream can be decoded by the second computing device without being transcoded by an intermediary, encoding, by the first computing device, the data into the data stream using the codec, and sending, by the first computing device, the data stream to the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: James Gordon Beattie, JR., Jeffrey A.

Patent number: 11210700Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including receiving advertisements from a remote advertising content provider and pre-loading the advertisements at a communication device. An advertisement is selected for presentation at a presentation device, based on a user's advertising viewing history, the duration of the advertisement, the device location, the device environment, the user's demographic profile, or the user's activities. The presentation device presents the advertisement responsive to the trigger message. The effectiveness of the advertisement is determined, and the advertisement viewing history is updated; the advertisement is selected based in part on the effectiveness of a past presentation of the advertisement. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: James G.

Patent number: 10777217Abstract: Performance sensitive selection of audio signal data is disclosed. A first rank value for the processed audio signal data can be based on a level of fidelity to an input audio signal. A second rank value for the processed audio signal data can be based on a performance metric of a processing scheme for processing the input audio signal into the processed audio signal. A third rank for the processed audio signal data can be based on an indication of a level of satisfaction for performance of the processed audio signal by a receiving device. A fourth rank for the processed audio signal data can be based on a network condition for a network conveying the processed audio signal to a device for performing the processed audio signal. Selection of the processed audio signal data can be based on the first, second, third, fourth rank, or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey A.
