Publication number: 20240340096Abstract: A network management system may determine a first change in a first signal strength associated with first signals received by a fixed wireless access device located a first location. The first signals are received by the fixed wireless access device from a first base station. The network management system may determine a second change in a second signal strength associated with second signals received by the fixed wireless access device. The second signals are received by the fixed wireless access device from a second base station. The network management system may determine that the fixed wireless access device has been relocated to a second location based on the first signal strength increasing by at least a first attenuation value and the second signal strength decreasing by at least a second attenuation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2023Publication date: October 10, 2024Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Seng GAN, Andrew PATKA, Michael D.

Publication number: 20240340095Abstract: A management system may analyze signal strengths of signals received, from a plurality of devices, by a first device located in a first location of an enclosed structure. The management system may determine, based on analyzing the signal strengths, that a first subset of devices are located outside of the enclosed structure and that a second subset of devices are located inside of the structure. The second subset of devices include a second device and a third device that are stationary. The management system may determine that the first signal strength, of the second device, has increased by an attenuation value and that the second signal strength, of the third device, has decreased by the attenuation value. The management system may determine that the first device has been relocated based on the first signal strength increasing by the attenuation value and the second signal strength decreasing by the attenuation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2023Publication date: October 10, 2024Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Seng GAN, Andrew K.

Publication number: 20240211324Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for adaptive API call sequence detection are provided. A series of API calls and gap times between API calls of the series of API calls are recorded. The API calls are received and processed by a production system. The API calls are assigned into API call sequences. An end of an API call sequence is detected based upon a minimum response time and the gap times between the API calls. The API call sequences are utilized to simulate execution of the production system. A configuration is generated and applied to the production system based upon a result of the simulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: June 27, 2024Inventors: Seng Gan, John S.

Patent number: 9813319Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting packet loss in a communication network are provided. A first network element can determine that a first group of packets meets an observation threshold. The observation threshold can comprise a predetermined number of packets in a sequence. A first timer can be initiated when the first group of packets meets the observation threshold. A first packet can be detected at the first network element after the first timer is initiated. The first timer can be re-initiated when the first packet is detected at the first network element before the first timer expires and the first packet comprises a packet in the sequence greater than a last detected packet. A first packet loss can be determined when the first packet is not a next packet in the sequence.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventor: Seng Gan

Patent number: 9769684Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining latency in a communication network. A non-IP protocol physical interface may be implemented at an access node. The physical interface may be configured to receive a simulated wireless device that mimics a radio-frequency interface. Delay data associated with segmented portions of a backhaul of the communication network may be measured at a base band unit (BBU) of the access node using the simulated wireless device. At least one segment of the backhaul may be isolated based on the measured delay data associated with the segmented portions.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Michael Fiumano, Seng Gan, Aaron Hinkle, Al Ebnereza

Patent number: 9648548Abstract: A wireless mesh network is configured. Each node is configured to function as either a gateway node or a relay node. To configure itself as a gateway node, an access node selects an SSID for each of its wireless interfaces that indicates it is an access node. When a relay access node is configuring itself, it scans for the SSIDs of available networks. The SSIDs of the mesh network are selected to indicate the number of other access points between a given access node and a direct wired connection (which is zero in the case of a gateway node.) The relay access node connects to the network having an SSID that indicates the fewest number of hops between itself and a direct wired connection. The SSID that is broadcast by the relay access node indicates the number of other access points between itself and a direct wired connection.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Seng Gan, Khoi Nguyen, Aaron Hinkle, Michael F.
