Abstract: A system for sharing sensor data between a vehicle and a plurality of remote system generally includes a vehicle communication system, a three-dimensional (3D) sensor, and a controller. The controller is programmed to generate an initial 3D point cloud using the 3D sensor, generate an occupancy grid map based on the initial 3D point cloud, and select a producer remote system to provide data for a cell of the occupancy grid map classified as a first blindspot. The controller is further programmed to send a data request to the producer remote system using the vehicle communication system, receive data from the producer remote system including information about the cell of the occupancy grid map classified as the first blindspot, generate a merged 3D point cloud by merging the data received from the producer remote system with the initial 3D point cloud, and identify objects using the merged 3D point cloud.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining and decoding a video file to obtain raw frames, providing the raw frames to the virtual camera that generates video content from the raw frames, providing the video content to a broadcasting application on a first communication device that provides output frames, and providing network conditions that are applied to the output frames resulting in conditioned output frames. The conditioned output frames are provided to a video content server from the first communication device, the video content server provides ABR tracks to a second communication device, the ABR tracks are associated with the conditioned output frames in response to receiving requests for the ABR tracks. Also, embodiments include obtaining and analyzing the conditioned output frames, the ABR tracks, and the requests, and generating metrics associated with the broadcasting application based on the analysis. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system parses a network trace to collect packet information for an encrypted adaptive bite rate (ABR) video stream encoded into a plurality of tracks; detects request packets corresponding to a sequence of requests for video segments to be downloaded at a network client; and determines a traffic volume downloaded at the network client to obtain a sequence of traffic volumes. The processing system identifies, for each of the sequence of traffic volumes, a set of candidate segments each having a size meeting a size-matching criterion; selects a segment from the set of candidate segments to determine a segment sequence meeting an index-matching criterion; and infers characteristics of the sequence of traffic volumes based on the segment sequence. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A request for a chunk of data is received from an application executing on a remote device. The chunk of data is split into a plurality of packets including a first packet and a second packet. A first sub-flow is selected to transport the first packet to the remote device and a second sub-flow is selected to transport the second packet. The first sub-flow is decoupled from the second sub-flow. A first stop time is selected for the first sub-flow and a second stop time is selected for the second sub-flow. The first stop time determines when the first sub-flow will complete at the remote device and the second stop time determines when the second sub-flow will complete at the remote device. The first stop time and the second stop time are selected so that the first sub-flow and the second sub-flow will complete simultaneously at the remote device.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, upon receiving a request for media content, a first signal quality may be determined, a first quality level may be selected based on the first signal quality, and segments of the first quality level may be retrieved, stored in a buffer, and played from the buffer. When the buffer is sufficiently occupied first inferior segments stored in the buffer may be replaced by determining a second signal quality selecting a second quality level based on the second signal quality, identifying the first inferior segment based on the second quality level, and replacing the first inferior segment with a first replacement segment, the first replacement segment corresponding to the first inferior segment. These processes may be performed iteratively. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining whether a mobile device is located indoors or outdoors. In some embodiments, a mobile device may utilize a fusion of the information from multiple sensors, such as a RGB sensor, a proximity sensor, a light intensity sensor, and a WiFi radio, to determine whether the mobile device is located indoors or outdoors.

Abstract: Techniques and devices for circumventing wireless data monitoring in communications between a communication device and a proxy server, as well as systems and techniques for detecting and resolving vulnerabilities in wireless data monitoring systems are described herein. The techniques for circumventing wireless data monitoring may include manipulating a routing table of a communication device, encapsulating data in an unmonitored protocol, and transmitting the encapsulated data in a “bearer,” or communications channel, to a proxy server that fulfills requests included in the encapsulated data. Furthermore, the techniques for detecting and resolving network vulnerabilities may include restricting protocols by bearers in an Access Control List, limiting a bandwidth of a bearer, or protecting a routing table in a secure location of the communication device.

Abstract: A more efficient mobile device can be achieved via an optimization process based on display screen dormancy. Application data transmissions can be throttled based on a screen-on or screen-off status of a mobile device. Furthermore, an application management platform can be used to prioritize application data transmissions based on data associated with each application's packet transmissions.

Abstract: Techniques control traffic transmissions to manage radio resource utilization. When content is being streamed to user equipment (UE) and is at least initially intended to be streamed in real time at a constant bitrate, a communication management component can determine whether the content being transmitted to the UE can be delayed, instead of being transmitted in real time. In response to determining that the content can be delayed, the communication management component can facilitate buffering data and periodically streaming the data to the UE in data bursts to reduce use of UE power and radio resources. When transmitting a visual image to a UE, the communication management component can adjust resolution of a visual image to correspond to screen dimensions of the UE based on information indicating screen dimensions of the UE that can be received from the UE.
