Patent number: 11877340Abstract: A communication management resource such as associated with or at a first wireless access point monitors a corresponding backhaul providing connectivity between the first wireless access point and a remote network. Based on the monitoring of the backhaul, the communication management resource produces status information indicating a status such as ability of the backhaul to convey data communications between the first wireless access point and the backhaul. The first wireless access point then controls wireless connectivity between the first wireless access point and a mobile communication device based on the status of the backhaul.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Charles I. Cook, Praveen C. Srivastava, Vikas Sarawat

Publication number: 20230292139Abstract: A configuration management resource receives wireless coverage information indicating a desired wireless coverage to be provided by a new wireless network in a selected geographical region. The configuration management resource retrieves network infrastructure map information and corresponding at least one image to produce the proposed wireless network installation plan. The network infrastructure map information indicates locations of available physical infrastructure to support installation of wireless access points. In addition to analyzing the network infrastructure map information, the configuration management resource also analyzes supplemental image information (such as including one or more images) of the available physical infrastructure to determine corresponding supplemental attributes of the available physical infrastructure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Praveen C.

Patent number: 11432259Abstract: A communication management resource such as a domain proxy receives a request transmitted from a wireless base station. The wireless station generates the request to register the wireless base station for subsequent allocation of wireless channels. In response to receiving the request, the communication management resource maps an identity of the wireless base station to a geographical location in which the wireless base station resides and forwards the request and notification of the geographical location to a channel allocation resource (a.k.a., allocation management resource) that allocates use of the wireless channels in a region in which the geographical location resides.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Vikas Sarawat, Charles I.
