Abstract: Bandwidth for a radio access network may be efficiently allocated for certain voice over LTE (VoLTE) services. In one implementation, a request associated with traffic flows may be received. Each of the traffic flows may be associated with an amount of guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic. The method may further include selectively summing the GBR traffic, to obtain an aggregate bandwidth value. The method may further include reserving an amount of GBR bandwidth corresponding to the previous version of the aggregate bandwidth value when a comparison indicates that the aggregate bandwidth value is less than the previous version of the aggregate bandwidth value; and reservation an amount of GBR bandwidth corresponding to the aggregate bandwidth value when a comparison indicates that the aggregate bandwidth value is not less than the previous version of the aggregate bandwidth value.

Abstract: A system may be configured to identify that a user device is connected to a first radio access network (“RAN”), via a first technology; and to identify that the user device is capable of accessing a second RAN, via a second technology. The system may further be configured to instruct the user device to concurrently connect to the second RAN and the first RAN, send or receive a first type of traffic via the first RAN, and send or receive a second type of traffic via the second RAN.

Abstract: Digital signal processors (DSPs) process the digital baseband signals associated with CPRI links between BBUs and RRHs. The DSPs may be implemented at the RRH nodes (e.g., at the link leading to the BBU node), at the BBU node (e.g., at the links leading to the RRH nodes), or at both. The DSPs may be used to increase performance of the RAN. For example, the DSPs may implement digital filters designed to enhance the performance of the RAN.

Abstract: A device receives information associated with a voice-over-long term evolution (VoLTE) call from multiple network devices that handle the VoLTE call and that are provided in an evolved packet system (EPS). The device identifies particular parameters from the information associated with the VoLTE call, and combines the particular parameters into an end-to-end call record for the VoLTE call. The device outputs or stores the end-to-end call record for the VoLTE call.

Abstract: A system may include a first network device, configured to establish first and second channels with a user device, the first and second channels being channels of a network layer of an Open Systems Interconnect (“OSI”) model, receive traffic associated with the user device, and output the traffic via one of the first channel or the second channel. The system may also include a second network device, configured to receive the traffic outputted by the first network device, identify via which channel, of the first and second channels, the traffic was outputted, determine a paging scheme associated with the identified channel, generate a downlink data notification (“DDN”) request, the DDN request indicating the determined paging scheme, and output the DDN request to a third network device, wherein the third network device performs paging, based on the determined paging scheme, to locate the user device.

Abstract: A device may determine that a parameter of a base station, included in a network, is to be adjusted. The device may determine a first proposed adjustment based on a first SON algorithm associated with adjusting the parameter based on performance information of multiple base stations included in the network. The device may determine a second proposed adjustment based on a second SON algorithm associated with adjusting the parameter based on performance information of the base station. The device may determine a weight factor, associated with the base station, based on a relationship between the base station and one or more neighbor base stations included in the network. The device may determine a final adjustment based on the first proposed adjustment, the second proposed adjustment, and the weight factor. The device may cause the parameter of the base station to be adjusted based on the final adjustment.

Abstract: A base station may receive a resource request, from a device, that includes a request to access a radio resource. The base station may determine a device class to which the device belongs. The base station may determine an amount of radio resources permitted to be allocated to devices belonging to the device class, may determine an amount of radio resources being utilized by devices belonging to the device class, and may compare the amounts. The base station may determine whether radio resources are available to be allocated to the device based on comparing the amounts, and may process the resource request based on the determination. The base station may grant the resource request when radio resources are available to be allocated to the device, and may deny or postpone the resource request when radio resources are not available to be allocated to the device.

Abstract: A device may proactively mitigate network congestion and reduce network load on a network device. In some implementations, the device may monitor load information associated with a base station in communication with a user device via a wireless cellular network; determine, based on the load information, that load on the base station should be reduced; determine, in response to the determination that the load on the base station should be reduced, and based on a type of traffic being transmitted to the user device via the base station, whether traffic for the user device can be offloaded to an access point within communications range of the user device; and cause, based on determining that the traffic for the user device can be offloaded to the access point, the user device to communicate via the access point and discontinue transmitting the traffic via the base station.

Abstract: A server device may receive information identifying property features relating to for-sale properties; identify a plurality of properties having one or more of the property features; identify particular properties, of the plurality of properties, having the one or more of the property features; receive location information for the particular properties; and generate, based on the location information, a trip plan identifying the particular properties. The trip plan may identify a sequence in which the particular properties should be visited and a route that should be taken when traveling between the particular properties. The server device may store or output the trip plan.

Abstract: Service level agreement (SLA) based monitoring and configuration of a path for transmission of data is achieved by identifying an SLA associated with the data and determining transmission requirements associated with the SLA. A status of a network element in the path, such as data occupancy of a data queue included in the network element, may be determined and used to select one of a high bandwidth portion or a low bandwidth portion of the pathway. The occupancy of the queue may be used to estimate a transmission delay, and the estimated transmission delay is used to select between the high bandwidth portion and the low bandwidth portion. The data may be directed to the selected bandwidth portion by changing a quality of service (QoS) value or other attribute associated with the data.

Abstract: A system may be configured to receive information regarding a quality of service (“QoS”) objective for a network. The network may include a group of nodes through which network traffic traverses. Each node, of the group of nodes, may implement one or more queues that indicate an order in which traffic is processed by the node. The system may further identify scheduling information associated with one or more nodes of the network. The queues implemented by the one or more nodes may be based on the identified scheduling information. The system may receive performance information from at least one of the nodes, of the group of nodes; and may generate new scheduling information for at least one node, of the group of nodes, based on the information regarding the QoS objective, the scheduling information associated with the one or more nodes, and the performance information.

Abstract: A network device receives utilization information, for an infrastructure network, that provides data for individual segments of the infrastructure network. Based on the data for the individual segments, the network device generates a costing matrix that includes prices for each segment of the individual segments. The network device identifies particular segments of the infrastructure network associated with an end-to-end path for a subscriber and generates pricing of different service levels for the end-to-end path. The pricing is based on the costing matrix and a particular time period. The network device provides, to the subscriber, a user interface that includes service plan options with the pricing of different service levels for the end-to-end path and receives, via the user interface, a selection of one of the service plan options. The network device sends instructions to provision the infrastructure network to support the selected service plan option.

Abstract: A method for determining a Quality of Service (QoS) policy can be based on requested bandwidth. The method may initially receive a connection request which includes a requested bandwidth that corresponds to an application. The method may then determine a policy for an application data flow associated with the application based on the connection request. A bandwidth designation, which is based on the requested bandwidth, may be assigned to the application data flow based on the determined policy. Finally, the policy and the bandwidth designation may be provided so that a bearer can be assigned.
