International Classification:

G06F 15/16
H04N 7/14

US Classification:

348 1411, 709217, 348E07077

Abstract:

Devices of a telecommunication network described herein are configured to reduce a service level associated with a quality of service offered by the telecommunication network to a user. The devices may reduce the service level responsive to data consumption by the user exceeding a threshold or responsive to data consumption associated with an application or data type. Also, the devices may be configured to increase a video-conversation-specific service level responsive to determining that a client device of the user is establishing a video conversation.

Appl. No.:

12/958325

Inventors:

Matthew Graham Dyor - Bellevue WA, US
Pablo Tapia - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726 4

Abstract:

A location provider manages dissemination of location data of a user to one or more third-party services, so that the user can take advantage of services offered by the third parties, without the associated burden of continuously granting or denying requests by the third party services to obtain location data of the user. A third-party service can obtain location information of a user from the location provider. Users may control circumstances in which the location provider is to share location data of the user with the one or more third-party services.

Appl. No.:

13/041302

Inventors:

Pablo Tapia - Snoqualmie WA, US
Christopher H. Joul - Bellevue WA, US

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

370328

Abstract:

Communications systems and methods with an evolved packet-switched core network architecture to enable voice services on second- and third- generation wireless access networks. The systems and methods permit unmodified 2G and 3G mobile devices to conduct voice calls using conventional circuit-switched user-plane and control-plane protocols at the air interface while the voice calls are switched at the back-end using a packet-switched core network. The system may include a translation module at a controller component that is configured to provide both user-plane and control-plane translation functions between an unmodified 2G/3G mobile device that utilizes circuit-switched protocols for a voice call and the packet-switched core network that utilizes packet-switched protocols to switch the voice call.

Appl. No.:

13/676044

Inventors:

T-Mobile USA, Inc - Bellevue WA, US
Pablo Tapia - Snoqualmie WA, US

Assignee:

T-MOBILE USA, INC - Bellevue WA

International Classification:

H04W 24/02

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

Techniques to self-optimize a network are disclosed. The link quality of a communications link is assessed to determine if a predetermined link quality level is satisfied. If the link quality level is not satisfied, a link adaptation routine is employed to optimize the communications link. In the event the link adaptation routine fails to optimize the communications link to the predetermined link quality level, a power control routine to adapt signal power is employed. In this way, interference between the link adaptation and power control routines is minimized. The link quality assessment may take into account user profile, application profile, and mobile terminal characteristics. Similarly, the link quality assessment may take into account radio conditions such as air interface, cellular sector and core network characteristics. In turn, the communications terminal may transmit communications link characteristics to the cellular sector to enable the cellular sector to self optimize.

Assignee:

T-Mobile USA, Inc. - Bellevue WA

International Classification:

H04W 36/36
H04W 4/24

US Classification:

455406, 455437

Abstract:

A system and method that facilitates mobile device selection among available qualities of service is described herein. A telecommunications network sends a notification to a mobile device when a change in quality of service is available to the mobile device. The mobile device then enables selection of an upgrade or downgrade to the current quality of service. In response to a selection, the mobile device transmits to the telecommunications network the change in quality of service. The telecommunications network then adjusts the quality of service in accordance with the request.
