Publication number: 20220256241Abstract: Facilitating pre-positioning of streaming content onto communication devices is provided herein. A system can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise facilitating an identification of a first multimedia content stream and a second multimedia content stream. The identification can be based on a usage preference of a defined entity associated with a communication device. The operations can also comprise, in response to a determination that an available network satisfies a defined network criterion, facilitating pre-positioning, at a data store of the communication device, the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Martin Patrick McEnroe, Mark D.

Patent number: 11009583Abstract: Machine learning on user equipment candidate locations provides more accurate location estimation in timing-based location estimation. For instance, timing signals from a user equipment are collected, and adjusted using calibration data, previously known for pairs of fixed-located cells. The adjusted timing data are processed into a location candidate dataset. The location candidate data set is iteratively processed using machine learning technology to eliminate candidate locations until an estimated location is determinable. The location estimation via the described technology is significantly more accurate than other timing-based methods.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Charles Michaelis, Mark D.

Patent number: 10827413Abstract: In one example, a first plurality of health scores and a second plurality of health cores are calculated. The first plurality of health scores quantifies the health of a plurality of nodes in a telecommunication service provider network, where the plurality of nodes represents connectivity points in the network. The second plurality of health scores quantifies the health of a plurality of links connecting the plurality of nodes. A priority score is calculated that quantifies an importance of a traffic demand. A route over the plurality of nodes and the plurality of links is generated, based at least in part on the first plurality of health scores, the second plurality of health scores, and the priority score. The route delivers the traffic demand from a source to a destination in a manner that meets a need of the traffic demand without exceeding the need by more than the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Abhijit Railkar, Mark D.
