  • LONG TERM EVOLUTION NETWORK DYNAMIC OVERLOAD MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20130336118
    Abstract: A downstream device in a network may monitor and collect data on its condition, including detecting overload conditions, and transmit such data to an upstream network device. The upstream network device may select a best downstream device for a particular traffic flow based on condition data received from downstream devices and transmit the traffic flow to the selected downstream device. A network management server may be configured to perform similar functions, instructing network devices on how to transport data through a network based on condition data received from such devices.

  • Long Term Evolution Network Billing Management
    Publication number: 20130322268
    Abstract: A device in a network may monitor a communications session (such as a traffic flow) and determine that the session has been affected by an adverse network condition such as equipment failure or heavy congestion. The effect of the network condition may be provided to a billing system that may proactively adjust charging for a customer associated with the traffic flow. Various data may be taken into account in determining the adjustment, including a service type, a subscriber identifier, an emergency identifier, and a traffic condition index.

  • Intelligent text message to speech system and method for visual voicemail
    Patent number: 8600368
    Abstract: A visual voicemail system can convert visual voicemail message content to an alternate format based on the location of the recipient device, whether and how the recipient device is in motion, a priority of the message content, user preferences, or other criteria. Alternately, a recipient wireless device may also convert content to an alternate format based on the similar criteria. Content may be presented automatically to a user on recipient device based on such criteria. Content may be converted from audio to text, text to audio, or from any format to any other format. Location, motion data, user preferences, etc. may be obtained from a location based service system, a recipient wireless device, or any other source.

  • Client management of visual voicemail data communications
    Patent number: 8594635
    Abstract: Data communications sessions for visual voicemail data communications are terminated under the control of a wireless device's visual voicemail client. In one embodiment, a visual voicemail client can be configured to transmit a request or command to terminate a data communications session immediately upon sending an acknowledgement of receiving voicemail data from a voicemail server. In another embodiment, a visual voicemail client can be configured to transmit a request or command to terminate a data communications session following the expiration of a timer set by the visual voicemail client. Alternatively, a visual voicemail client can be configured to wait for a termination request for command from a voicemail server.
