Patent number: 9622135Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for providing redirection control of communications over a wide area network for user devices over a wireless local area network are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a wireless network device is provided. The method includes receiving a connection request from a user device over the wireless local area network, and responsive to the connection request, identifying a traffic plan for the user device based at least on one or more policy factors associated with the user device. When the traffic plan indicates redirected access, then the method includes establishing a tunnel to a cellular communication network associated with the user device and routing the communications of the user device over the tunnel. When the traffic plan indicates local access, then the method includes routing the communications of the user device to the wide area network.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Bhanu Prakash Voruganti, John Gatewood, Sharon L. Woodrum, Matthew P. Hund, George Jason Schnellbacher

Patent number: 9496949Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software for application dedicated transceivers. In one example, a method for operating a wireless device includes, in a device application, initiating a request for a dedicated-transceiver. In response to the request, the method further includes, in the device operating system, requesting dedicated-transceiver information from a transceiver system on the device and, once the information is received from the transceiver system, transferring a dedicated-transceiver response to the application. The method also provides, in the device application, initiating a communication handshake with the transceiver system and, upon completion of the handshake, communicating application data to the transceiver system without the use of the operating system.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: John Gatewood, Sunny R. Dubey, Bhanu Prakash Voruganti, Matthew P. Hund

Patent number: 9402217Abstract: Systems and methods of providing wireless communication to a wireless device are provided. An access node of a first network associated with a first radio access technology can receive a request to establish a communication link with a first wireless device. The first wireless device can be in further communication with a second network associated with a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology. The access node can determine that a number of second wireless devices in communication with the access node meets a threshold. When the number of second wireless devices exceeds the threshold, the access node can determine a subscription parameter based on a bandwidth allocation among the number of second wireless devices in communication with the access node. When the subscription parameter meets a criteria, the communication link can be established with the first wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2013Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Sameer A. Khan, John Gatewood, Sunny Dubey, Bhanu Prakash Voruganti

Patent number: 9277354Abstract: In an embodiment, a method provides for receiving commands within a mobile communications application running on a mobile communication device. The method includes monitoring text entered into a text input region of a touchscreen keyboard module within a user interface on the mobile communication device for an interrupt code, and detecting an interrupt code. The method also includes determining a command from a plurality of commands, based on user inputs following the interrupt code, identifying an action from a plurality of actions corresponding to the plurality of commands, and initiating the action corresponding to the command.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: John Gatewood, Kenneth Wayne Samson, Bhanu Prakash Voruganti, Matthew P.

Patent number: 9001767Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for providing a wireless local area network to user devices using a wireless access node are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a wireless access node is provided. The method includes providing a wireless local area network for user devices, selecting a first wireless backhaul link for communications of the wireless local area network from among a plurality of wireless links provided by a plurality of wireless access nodes based on at least signal strengths of the wireless links, and selecting a second wireless backhaul link as a backup for the first wireless backhaul link from among the plurality of wireless links based on at least the signal strengths and uptime information of the wireless links.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: John Gatewood, Matthew P.

Patent number: 7953099Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for routing a call through telecommunications relay services while maintaining desired call information. The present invention includes routing calls through the telecommunications relay services system using a variety of signaling protocols while maintaining call information. A method of integrating line information into a telephone signal is provided. The method includes receiving line information in a packet header and parsing the header to extract the line record information. The parsed information is converted into a set-up message in Integrated Services Digital Network protocol. The method also determines if a specific telephony carrier is identified in the parsed header. If a specific telephone carrier is identified, the signal is directed to the identified carrier along with the set-up message.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventor: John Gatewood
