  • Publication number: 20180096587
    Abstract: A server receives signals indicating an alert condition for a location that is defined by a set of location attributes and identifies one or more base stations that serve one or more cells that overlap with the location, which encompasses less than all of the cells. The server transmits a message to the one or more base stations identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes. A user equipment receives the message identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes that define the location of the alert condition. The user equipment compares a location of the user equipment to the set of location attributes and generates an alert in response to the location of the user equipment being within the location of the alert condition.

  • Patent number: 9780997
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9544812
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9474064
    Abstract: 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.
