Publication number: 20120272277Abstract: An initiating viewer identifies a multimedia channel and submits a request to share the multimedia channel with at least one recipient viewer at another viewer premises. This request is processed by the multimedia receiver of the initiating viewer so as to generate a channel change request for submission to a service provider. In response to the channel share request, the service provider queries the recipient viewer to determine whether the recipient viewer accepts or rejects the offered multimedia channel. If the recipient viewer accepts the multimedia channel, the multimedia channel can be provided to the multimedia receiver of the recipient viewer either for storage for later playback or for immediate playback concurrent with the provision of the multimedia channel to the initiating viewer. Billing for costs associated with the shared multimedia channel is conducted based on billing feedback provided by the initiating viewer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: October 25, 2012Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property II, LPInventor: Moshiur Rahman

Publication number: 20120100847Abstract: System(s), apparatus(es), and method(s) are provided for diagnosing performance issues of wireless equipment (WE) or a wireless network through an alternative communication channel enabled by an alternative wireless network available to the WE. A service platform (SP) probes performance condition of the WE through a mobility control node (MCN) and, in response to a fault condition, collects data related to operation of the WE. Based at least on part of the data, the SP diagnoses the fault condition and related performance issue(s). To probe performance, the SP requests the MCN to collect data related to performance metric(s) of the WE. The alternative communication channel is established, and such data is collected therefrom, in response to low-grade connectivity amongst the MCN and the WE. The SP notifies the WE of at least the fault condition through the MCN or, in case of network fault condition, via the alternative communication channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2010Publication date: April 26, 2012Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventor: Moshiur Rahman

Patent number: 8166351Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for filtering redundant fault events from an event stream generated by devices on a network based on a statistical correlation between fault events are provided. Event history data is collected from the fault events generated by devices on the network over a period of time. Statistical correlations are computed between each distinct pair of fault events in the event history data. Based on the statistical correlations, a list of redundant fault events and associated significant events is identified. The list of redundant events and associated significant events is utilized to filter the redundant fault events from the event stream generated by the devices on the network.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Lev Slutsman, Moshiur Rahman

Publication number: 20120063326Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing timeout events in a packet network are disclosed. For example, the method detects a timeout event by a first network element, wherein the timeout event is generated due to a lack of response from a second network element. The method then determines whether a threshold for reporting of timeouts is exceeded for the second network element. The method then generates a report by the first network element to a fault management system if the threshold is exceeded, where the report indicates that the second network element has exceeded the threshold for reporting of timeouts.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Inventor: Moshiur Rahman

Publication number: 20120044804Abstract: A system and methodology that dynamically reroutes active communications sessions between a user equipment (UE) and a wireless network. In particular, the system can determine a current or impending fault condition and reroute a data path for network traffic to another service. Moreover, the system can identify a failed element in a wireless network and deny access and divert traffic until the element is restored. Further, the system can issue an alert to a user interface of the wireless network with information associated with a fault condition, a failed element, or a restored element.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2010Publication date: February 23, 2012Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Moshiur Rahman, Fred Delaplace

Publication number: 20120040662Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can redirect communications upon detection of a handover failure in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. In particular, the architecture can obtain information indicative of a handover failure that is available in a first portion of the LTE network that has no control over the communication path. Furthermore, the architecture can utilize the information to instruct a second portion of the LTE network, one that can control the communication path but conventionally has no access to the information, to reroute the communication path to avoid unresponsive or failing network entities.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2010Publication date: February 16, 2012Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Moshiur Rahman, Christopher Opara
