  • Patent number: 9294961
    Abstract: The throttling of mobile device data rates is provided at events, e.g., sporting events, and other venues with large, dense crowds. The system can monitor the loading of the mobile radio antennas at the venue, and when the loading reaches a threshold loading point, the system can selectively throttle the data rates of mobile devices at the venue. In some embodiments, the system can throttle the data rates of certain applications on the mobile devices, or can select mobile devices that are placing a large strain on the network infrastructure to throttle. In other embodiments, the system can set maximum upload and download speeds for all the mobile devices at the venue.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8937934
    Abstract: Scrambling code conflicts can be mitigated by primary scrambling code reuse that minimizing a potential interference Primary scrambling codes are applied to a first set of cells located in a portion of the network being considered. A second set of cells are evaluated for primary scrambling code reuse based on a distance parameter and/or a coverage area. If the distance parameter is greater than a defined distance, primary scrambling code reuse can be applied. If all distance parameters evaluated are less than the distance parameter, a length of the distance parameter is reduced and the distance between cells is reevaluated.
