  • Publication number: 20230403532
    Abstract: Methods, media, and systems are provided for dynamic session trace management for user equipment (UE). For example, a first node is identified for a first UE, the first node being associated with a default trace processor. In some embodiments, the first node is identified based on a setup communication with the first UE. A trace profile for the first UE may generated. The trace profile may indicate a primary trace processor for the first UE. Based on the default trace processor of the first node being different than the primary trace processor, the first node is instructed to utilize the primary trace processor for trace reports associated with the first UE. In some embodiments, the primary trace processor may identify a location for the first UE using the trace reports. The trace reports may be received from a plurality of nodes and maintained by the primary trace processor.

  • Publication number: 20230354033
    Abstract: Detecting and remediating fraud on a wireless communications network is described. Trace reports corresponding to nodes and user equipment may be received. Two or more user equipment and associated with a common user may be indicative of fraud. Two or more user equipment may be instructed to identify their precise location, such as via a minimization of drive-testing system of the node and/or UE. Upon receiving a first precise location associated with a first user equipment and a second precise location associated with a second user equipment, and accessing a historical record of the common user, a comparison may be performed. Based upon this, one or more user equipment may be identified as fraudulent. Various remedial actions may be instructed related to at least one of the first node or the first user equipment.

  • Patent number: 10735949
    Abstract: A system for updating a preferred nodes list for a wireless device in a wireless network includes a server in communication with a plurality of nodes each configured to deploy a radio air interface to provide wireless services to wireless devices. The server includes a processor configured to instruct, in response to a trigger, a first node to send a message to a wireless device connected to the first node. The message instructs the wireless device to contact the server for an updated preferred nodes list. The processor receives a request for the updated preferred nodes list from the wireless device, and provides the updated preferred nodes list to the wireless device. The updated preferred nodes list enables the wireless device to change from connecting to the first node included in the preferred nodes list to connecting to a second node included in the updated preferred nodes list.

  • Patent number: 10609117
    Abstract: A method, system, and media are provided for transmitting messages to a recipient through a communications network. Network condition measurements are obtained and communication gateways that execute temporal shifting agents are identified. A message is received from a first device and a header of the message is parsed to determine that (i) a temporal shifting message is being received and (ii) a second version of content is contained within the temporal shifting message. Upon parsing the temporal shifting message, embodiments update a previously stored first version of content with the second version of content. The second version of content is then transmitted to the recipient based on the obtained measurements for network conditions.

  • Patent number: 10511990
    Abstract: A wireless relay uses multiple wireless backhaul options. In the relay, a wireless access point exchanges user data with wireless user devices including a visitor device. The wireless access point exchanges the user data with Relay Equipment (RE) in the wireless relay. The RE exchanges the user data with a home wireless communication network. The RE detects a loss of performance for the home wireless communication network, and initiates a backhaul connection through the visitor wireless user device and a visitor wireless communication network. The wireless access point exchanges additional user data with the wireless user devices. The wireless access point exchanges the additional user data with the RE. The RE exchanges the additional user data with the home wireless communication network over the backhaul connection through the visitor wireless user device and the visitor wireless communication network.

  • Patent number: 10299068
    Abstract: A wireless communication network locates User Equipment (UE) that is served by a wireless repeater chain. The wireless repeater chain wirelessly exchanges user data with the UE and wirelessly exchanges the user data with a wireless base station. The wireless base station determines an amount of communication time delay between the UE and the wireless base station over the wireless repeater chain. The wireless base station identifies the wireless repeater in the wireless repeater chain that is wirelessly attached to the UE based on the communication time delay. The wireless base station identifies the geographic location of the UE based on the geographic location of the identified wireless repeater. The wireless base station transfers the geographic location of the UE.

  • Patent number: 10237217
    Abstract: A user's access to online content is controlled based at least in part on the type of access network utilized to access the content. When a request is received from a user via an access network to access online content, the access-network type and the content type are determined. A determination of a portion of the content to communicate to the user is made based on one or more policies that control access to the identified content type when transmitted via the identified access-network type, and the determined portion of the content is communicated to the user.

  • Patent number: 10117214
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for triggering an action based on detection of one or more user devices. One or more signals from at least one user device are detected by at least one sensor in a target area. A sensor can be in operable communication with a location server to which the signals are relayed. Based on the signals detected, a determination is made as to whether the one or more signals exceed a predetermined threshold for signal strength in the target area. Based on a set of signals exceeding the predetermined threshold for signal strength, the location server triggers an action that corresponds to the target area.

  • Patent number: 10051548
    Abstract: A wireless relay controls wireless scanning in a wireless data communication network. The wireless relay performs a 360-degree wireless signal scan, and attaches to a source wireless access point responsive to the wireless signal scan. The wireless relay reports results from the wireless signal scan to a relay information server responsive to the attachment. The wireless relay receives attachment data from the relay information server responsive to the reporting. If the wireless relay loses connectivity to the source wireless access point, then the wireless relay determines reattachment attributes based on the attachment data, and performs another wireless signal scan based on the reattachment attributes.

  • Patent number: 9942702
    Abstract: A base station exchanges session communications with a UE during a communication session, receives a location request for a device location of the UE, determines an amount of delay time associated with the session communications of the UE, and submits a query to a database system for a location of a wireless repeater to which the UE is connected, wherein the query includes an identifier of the base station and the amount of delay time associated with the session communications. The database system processes the identifier of the base station and the amount of delay time associated with the session communications to identify and return the location of the wireless repeater to the base station. The base station receives the location of the wireless repeater from the database system and transfers the location of the wireless repeater in response to the location request for the device location of the UE.
