Publication number: 20240103838Abstract: Processes, computing systems, devices, and automated processes variously perform or include operations to update a cellular device running a container-based operating system. A container management server (CMS) of a cellular network receives a communication from the cellular device over the cellular network. The CMS retrieves a list of containers deployed on the cellular device. The CMS then compares a deployed container from the list to an updated container to identify the deployed container as invalid. The CMS may push the updated container to the cellular device in response to identifying the deployed container as invalid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Kevin YAO, Prashant RAGHUVANSHI

Patent number: 11943153Abstract: A facility for conveying first side of a voice call from a first participant to a second participant is described. Over the duration of the voice call, the facility receives the first side of the call. The facility seeks to forward the received first side of the voice call to a downstream node on a path to the second participant. The facility records the received first side of the call for at least part of the call. The facility identifies a just-ended portion of the voice call for which forwarding of the received first side of the voice call was unsuccessful. In response, the facility transmits to the downstream node the recorded first side of the voice call that coincides with the identified portion of the voice call.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Kevin Yao, Prashant Raghuvanshi

Publication number: 20240064575Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for customer specific network slicing include a virtual network operator (“VNO”) server, a first node, and a virtualized network. The VNO server instantiates a solution manager engine which identifies a Solution, communicates the Solution to the first node, and upon acceptance of the Solution by the first node, instructs the virtualized network to couple the first node with a second node in accordance with the Solution. The virtualized network may include network function virtualization infrastructure and the Solution may include a slice of the virtualized network. The slice satisfies a Service Level Requirement (SLR), such as one that specifies a maximum latency for the slice. The SLR is specified in a Need received by the VNO server from the first node. The SLR is determined based upon an application program the first Node is at least one of currently executing and expected to later execute.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Kevin Yao, Prashant Raghuvanshi

Patent number: 11864256Abstract: Techniques are described for end-to-end overwatch of communication sessions in a network for fast failure recovery. At any time, network functions (NFs) can be supporting end-to-end connectivity for large numbers of concurrent active communication sessions. Conventionally, if one or more of the NFs fail, session context information can be irretrievably lost, and session connectivity is lost. Embodiments provide an overwatch system in an overwatch plane of the network to determine critical session context dataset (CSCDs) for NFs participating in active communication sessions, and to continuously take snapshots of the entire end-to-end context of active communication sessions in accordance with the CSCDs and endpoint information for the NFs.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Kevin Yao, Prashant Raghuvanshi

Publication number: 20220417768Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamic bid-driven reconfiguration in a wireless communication network. An analytics front-end system (AFES) can be implemented in a provider network. The AFES can obtain network service experience (NSE) predictions derived by a network data analytics function (NWDAF) based on network status data received from back-end network functions of the provider network. The AFES can generate bid options based on the NSE predictions, each having a respective NSE definition and bid value. The bid options can be output to a user bidding interface, via which a user can review and select the bid options. In response to the user selecting one of the bid options, the AFES can direct a network policy server to update one or more subscriber policy definitions for one or more subscribers based on the respective NSE definition of the selected bid option, thereby dynamically updating at least one subscriber's NSE.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Kevin Yao, Prashant Raghuvanshi
