Patent number: 9264969Abstract: A method for determining whether to perform vertical handoff between multiple network. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of selection metrics for each network, calculating, for each of the other communication networks, a predicted utility value from at least the corresponding plurality of selection metrics using a variable kernel regression function, obtaining, for the current communication network, a second plurality of selection metrics; calculating a second predicted utility value for the current communication network from at least the corresponding second plurality of selection metrics using a second variable kernel regression function, comparing each of the predicted utility values for each of the plurality of other communication networks with the second predicted utility value and switching to one of the other communication networks having the highest predicted utility value, if the highest predicted utility value is greater than the second predicted utility value.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: TTI Inventions A LLCInventors: Eric Van Den Berg, Joseph Bryan Lyles, Praveen Gopalakrishnan, Byunsuk Kim

Patent number: 6880093Abstract: A communication device for exchanging communication between user devices and a communication network reduces power consumption after detecting a low power condition. The communication device advantageously operates during a power outage when a power supply for the communication device fails. The communication device includes a network interface, a power control circuitry, and a processor. The network interface exchanges digital communication signals with the communication network. The power control circuitry detects a low power condition. The power control circuitry then generates a power control signal in response to the low power condition. The processor exchanges first communication signals between the network interface and an analog telephone interface or a digital computer interface. The processor receives and processes the power control signal to lower power consumption of the communication device.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2001Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventor: Joseph Bryan Lyles

Patent number: 6563829Abstract: A method in accordance with the invention allocates bandwidth, fairly and dynamically, in a shared-media packet switched network to accommodate both elastic and inelastic applications. The method, executed by or in a head-end controller, allocates bandwidth transmission slots, converting requests for bandwidth into virtual scheduling times for granting access to the shared media. The method can use a weighted fair queuing algorithm or a virtual clock algorithm to generate a sequence of upstream slot/transmission assignment grants. The method supports multiple quality of service (QoS) classes via mechanisms which give highest priority to the service class with the most stringent QoS requirements.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1999Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignees: Xerox Corporation, COM21, Inc., Telesis Technologies LaboratoryInventors: Joseph Bryan Lyles, Mark E.
