Patent number: 11012916Abstract: A mobile device includes a processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to effectuate operations. The operations include determining that the mobile device does not meet a camping threshold for a cell of a network, determining that the mobile device is synchronized with the cell, and permitting a limited network communication between the mobile device and the network via the cell. The limited network communication may be limited to text-only communications, emergency communications, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Robert Steven Klein

Patent number: 9918259Abstract: Aspects relate to automatically establishing neighbor relations for adjacent sectors based on one or more network events. The neighbor relations can be established between sectors that can be identified as inter-frequency neighbors or intra-frequency neighbors. In an aspect, the network events can be active call data events received from one or more mobile devices. The active call data events can be radio access bearer establishments and internal system releases. In another aspect, the network events can be idle call data events received from one or more mobile devices. If a first event ended on a first sector and a second event started on a second sector before expiration of an interval that started when the first event ended, the first sector and second sector can be defined as neighbors.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignees: AT&T MOBILITY II LLC, AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Robert Steven Klein, Mark Austin, Ralph Knag

Publication number: 20160360453Abstract: Aspects relate to automatically establishing neighbor relations for adjacent sectors based on one or more network events. The neighbor relations can be established between sectors that can be identified as inter-frequency neighbors or intrafrequency neighbors. In an aspect, the network events can be active call data events received from one or more mobile devices. The active call data events can be radio access bearer establishments and internal system releases. In another aspect, the network events can be idle call data events received from one or more mobile devices.

Patent number: 8761051Abstract: Network operation data within a confined indoor wireless environment can be determined and utilized for generation of competitive intelligence and strategic network planning. Scanner component(s) survey and compare signals transported in a set of electromagnetic frequency bands, and in accordance with a set of radio technologies associated with competing networks. Collected data can be aggregated and delivered to femto gateway node(s), which can supply the data to an analysis component that generates network operations NetOp intelligence. A report component can manage received and aggregated network operation data and convey a portion thereof to planning tool(s) that can produce competitive intelligence and develop strategic network planning. Planning tool(s) can request specific network operation data or NetOp intelligence.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Arthur Richard Brisebois, Robert Steven Klein

Patent number: 8497847Abstract: Input/output operation of an electronic device is adapted for left-handed and/or right-handed scenarios. As described herein, sensors (e.g., capacitive, resistive, touch-sensitive, etc.) are applied to respective outer edges of a device to determine whether a device is in a user's left hand and/or right hand. Based on this determination, respective points along the sensors can be mapped to soft keys to automatically optimize input for left-handed and/or right-handed operation. As further described herein, points of contact with an input device such as a touch-screen can be corrected based on whether a user's left hand and/or right hand is holding an associated electronic device. For example, upon identifying contact between a touch-screen and a thumb of a hand being used to hold an associated device, the point of contact can be shifted to compensate for the angle of the thumb with respect to the touch-screen.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Arthur Richard Brisebois, Robert Steven Klein
