  • Publication number: 20250055885
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a network framework for managing network elements (NEs) of a wireless/cellular and wireline network. The framework enables the scaling of a quantity, diversity and availability of NEs on/within a network via secure, efficient handling of multiple connectivity protocols, management protocols and/or NE data models. The framework can operate to provide a newly configured microservice architecture for the performance of NE management that is based on the specifics of NE types and/or NE protocols. Such architecture can operate as a collection (e.g., cluster) of microservices (or components) that can be independently scaled and can enable services to communicate with one another at the service level. The disclosed framework provides customized service technologies for each component/service in a configured manner so as to cluster services to specific needs/requests of each NE.

  • Patent number: 10809348
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to generate a first signal that includes a perfect polyphase-encoding of an identifier of the wireless station; transmit the first signal; receive from an end device, a second signal that is responsive to the first signal and includes a perfect polyphase-encoding of the identifier of the wireless station and an identifier of the end device; autocorrelate the first signal and the second signal; calculate in response to the autocorrelation, a time difference between the first signal and the second signal; calculate in response to the calculation, a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal; and calculate in response to the calculation of the phase difference, a distance between the wireless station and the end device based on the time difference, the phase difference, the identifier of the wireless station, and the identifier of the end device.

  • Patent number: 9967852
    Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to create and manage a network of customer premise equipment (CPE) devices (e.g., a CPE network). CPE devices may be rapidly initialized by integrating a process for initializing the CPE devices with a wireless network with a process for initializing the CPE devices with the CPE network. Configuration information for controlling the CPE devices may be managed and stored in a centralized location as machine-readable, computer-programming objects, which may be combined to provide a comprehensive view of the CPE network. Network services may be efficiently introduced into the CPE network and managed by creating virtual CPE devices that are associated with the CPE devices of the CPE network.

  • Patent number: 9654338
    Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to provide a self-installing customer premise equipment (CPE) device that is capable of automatically registering with, and participating in, a network of CPE devices in response to being powered on. The CPE device may be capable of logically combining a connection with a wireless cellular network and a wired network to increase bandwidth and reliability. The CPE device may also detect a power failure and report the power failure to a centralized server in order to facilitate the diagnosis and correction of performance issues caused by the power failure.
