Abstract: A user equipment (UE) disconnects from next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) base station (BS) and receives, from the NG-RAN BS, a fallback indication. The UE then attempts to connect to an evolved-universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) BS. The UE determines that communication with the E-UTRAN BS was not established and identifies an alternate BS. After establishing communication with the alternate BS, the UE generates and transmits a report to the alternate BS including the fallback indication and information relating to the failed connection attempt with the E-UTRAN BS. The report is then conveyed to the NG-RAN BS for optimization of future fallback procedures.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote debugging perform remote debugging of a receiving device, such as a set-top box or other connected media player, even when the receiving device is located behind a firewall. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. Since it is an outbound connection, it connects across firewall restrictions. A remote debug machine sends a message via the message server to the receiving device over a network. The message carries the command/operation to be executed by the receiving device. The receiving device, which receives the command, executes the command and sends the output of the command to a debug data upload server to which the remote debug machine has access.
