Patent number: 11102627Abstract: A service type symbol may be presented on a display of a communication device to indicate a type of service supported or unsupported on the communication device over a network to which the communication device is presently connected. The communication device may determine a value of a parameter, may determine, based at least in part on the value of the parameter, a service type symbol from a set of multiple different service type symbols to present on a display of the communication device, and may present the symbol on the display. Service type symbols might include, among others, a video symbol corresponding to a video streaming service, a voice symbol corresponding to a voice calling service, a basic data symbol corresponding to a basic data service.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: John Humbert, Scott Francis Migaldi, Hsin-Fu Henry Chiang

Patent number: 11089527Abstract: An access network can allocate a bearer for a network service associated with a quality-of-service (QoS) value (QV) and a retention-priority value (RPV), and determine a bearer ID for the service based on the QV, the RPV, and a supplemental priority value (SPV) different from the QV and from the RPV. Upon handover of a terminal, session(s) carried by a bearer allocated by the terminal can be terminated. That bearer can be selected using IDs of the bearers and a comparison function that, given two bearer IDs, determines which respective bearer should be terminated before the other. Upon handover of a terminal to an access network supporting fewer bearers per terminal than the terminal has allocated, a network node can select a bearer based on respective QVs and RPVs of a set of allocated bearers. The network node can deallocate the selected bearer.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Kun Lu, Boris Antsev, Terri Brooks, Egil Gronstad, John Humbert, Alan Denis MacDonald, Salvador Mendoza, Scott Francis Migaldi, Gary Jones, Christopher H.

Publication number: 20210204226Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reducing processing time of messages that are repeatedly received, with increasing frequency, by a device (e.g., user equipment, base station etc.). For example, the systems and methods would have a base station decrease power, possibly to minimum power-out, per policy, if messages beyond the original are received and the time between those messages is decreasing. The decrease in time between messages indicates a more urgent need for the base station to power down. The systems and methods can be adapted for different types of messages (e.g., power-up, power-down, resource request, bandwidth request, service type, call type origination, quality-of-service request, application type, etc.). Each message type is associated with a policy (pre-determined or adaptive) that indicates the default behavior when the method detects a decrease in time between messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Scott Francis Migaldi, John Joseph Humbert, IV

Patent number: 10986590Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reducing processing time of messages that are repeatedly received, with increasing frequency, by a device (e.g., user equipment, base station etc.). For example, the systems and methods would have a mobile device increase power, possibly to maximum power-out, per policy, if messages beyond the original are received and the time between those messages is decreasing. The decrease in time between messages indicates a more urgent need for the mobile device to power up. The systems and methods can be adapted for different types of messages (e.g., power-up, power-down, resource request, bandwidth request, service type, call type origination, quality-of-service request, application type, etc.). Each message type is associated with a policy (pre-determined or adaptive) that indicates the default behavior when the method detects a decrease in time between messages.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Scott Francis Migaldi, John Joseph Humbert, IV

Publication number: 20210091879Abstract: A base station can select orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) numerologies that define subcarrier spacing values based on attributes associated with one or more services that a user equipment (UE) is using. The base station can use the selected OFDM numerologies for transmission associated with the services. When the UE is using multiple services simultaneously, the base station can select the same or different OFDM numerologies for the multiple services.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Shuqing Xing, Scott Francis Migaldi, John J.

Publication number: 20210022060Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for pre-steering traffic within a telecommunications network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods pre-steer traffic by steering user devices to optimal or suitable frequency bands of a network before the user devices begin streaming content and/or performing other actions via the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventor: Scott Francis Migaldi

Publication number: 20210007102Abstract: An electronic device configured to operate in two frequency bands having significantly different coverage areas receives coordinates associated with a smaller coverage area over a frequency band having a larger coverage area. The coordinates allow the electronic device to only power up the associated radio and search for a base station of the smaller coverage area when the electronic device is in the area described by the coordinates. This allows the electronic device to achieve significant power savings compared to even infrequent random polling to determine when a base station of the smaller coverage area radio system is available.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventors: John Humbert, Scott Francis Migaldi, Terri L. Brooks, Mark Younge

Patent number: 10790939Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices can be utilized to schedule at least one Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission and at least one HARQ feedback message in the same Physical Resource Block (PRB). A HARQ transmission can be scheduled in a mini-slot of the PRB. Accordingly, latencies associated with transmitting and receiving the PRB can be reduced, while the high reliability of HARQ can be retained. Implementations can be applied to 5G technologies such as Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLCs) and enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB), as well as other low-latency communications. A method can include detecting a condition of a device; selecting, based at least in part on the condition of the device, a mini-slot size; scheduling, in one or more mini-slots having the mini-slot size in a PRB, a HARQ transmission; and transmitting, to the device, the HARQ transmission in the one or more mini-slots of the PRB.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Shuqing Xing, Wafik Abdel Shahid, Scott Francis Migaldi

Patent number: 10405368Abstract: A mobile communications device is configured to implement dual connectivity, using both a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio and a 5th-Generation (5G) radio, for communicating with respective base stations of a cellular network. A primary transmission uplink is established in a first radio frequency band using the LTE radio. The device may then receive a request to establish a secondary transmission uplink in a second frequency band. Upon receiving the request, the device determines whether it can support concurrent use of the primary and secondary frequency bands while maintaining adequate receiver sensitivity. If the device cannot support such concurrent use, the device refuses the request. In addition, the device provides data indicating the degree by which certain performance parameters would be out-of-tolerance if the secondary connection were to be established.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Ming Shan Kwok, John Humbert, Wei-Ming Lan, Scott Francis Migaldi, Neng-Tsann Ueng
