Patent number: 9780997Abstract: An application type of a bearer is classified by computing statistics vectors of bearer metrics and locating points on a label map corresponding to the statistics vectors to obtain application type information. The application type information is exported to a network node to control an operation of application. The bearer metrics include bearer identifier information and bearer condition information, where the bearer condition information includes channel condition information and cell congestion level information. The bearers are paired, such that uplink and downlink bearers for a same application are identified, so that paired bearers are classified together. The label map is produced using previously classified bearer information to calculate cluster centroids and cluster regions that define portions of the map for particular application types.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Edward Grinshpun, Qi Liao, David Faucher, Zulfiquar Sayeed, Sameer Sharma

Patent number: 9544812Abstract: Fast congestion detection is implemented in a wireless radio access network (RAN) to mitigate congestion by classifying bearers into bearer types using bearer metrics and monitoring bearers for type specific anomalies to obtain anomaly data. Congestion is detected based on the anomaly data to obtain congestion information that is exported to a network node to mitigate network congestion. Bearer metrics include radio link protocol (RLC) buffer size information, physical resource block (PRB) utilization information, and transmission burst interval information. The transmission burst interval information includes information on time intervals between successive time periods when a RLC buffer is empty. The bearers are classified into Type I and Type II bearers. Type I bearers are bearers displaying bursty data transfer behavior, and Type II bearers are bearers displaying a continuous stream of data transfer behavior.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignees: Alcatel Lucent, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Edward Grinshpun, Qi Liao, David Faucher, Zulfiquar Sayeed, Sameer Sharma

Patent number: 9474064Abstract: A smoothed transport block size is forecasted by predicting future value information based on historical time series data obtained at an e-Node B. The historical time series data includes historical transport block size information and historical modulation and coding scheme information. A mapping function is used to correlate the future value information with historical transport block size information. Once the mapping function is determined, the mapping function forecasts the average transport block sizes by inputting the future value information into the mapping function. The smoothed transport block sizes and the future value information is then transmitted to an application server and/or an application client at a user equipment to control an operation of an application.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Zulfiquar Sayeed, Qi Liao, Edward Grinshpun, David Faucher, Sameer Sharma
