Abstract: A device may proactively mitigate network congestion and reduce network load on a network device. In some implementations, the device may monitor load information associated with a base station in communication with a user device via a wireless cellular network; determine, based on the load information, that load on the base station should be reduced; determine, in response to the determination that the load on the base station should be reduced, and based on a type of traffic being transmitted to the user device via the base station, whether traffic for the user device can be offloaded to an access point within communications range of the user device; and cause, based on determining that the traffic for the user device can be offloaded to the access point, the user device to communicate via the access point and discontinue transmitting the traffic via the base station.

Abstract: A system may be configured to receive analytics information regarding a cell of a wireless telecommunications network. The cell may be associated with multiple carriers, which may each be associated with, for example, a particular radio access technology (“RAT”), frequency band, or frequency sub-band. The system may dynamically rank the carriers based on measures of load associated with the carriers (as indicated by the analytics information), and may generate system information blocks (“SIBs”) that include the dynamic rankings The SIBs may be provided to user devices, which may select carriers, via which to connect to the cell, based on the dynamic rankings

Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on unicast and/or broadcast multimedia content items being accessed by respective user equipment (UE) devices through a network. The reporting server determines, for each multimedia content item, a number of UE devices that are accessing the multimedia content item and whether it is being unicast or broadcast. The reporting server ranks the multimedia content items by the number of UE devices accessing each item. In several disclosed examples, a broadcast video provisioning system switches unicast transmissions to broadcast transmissions based on the ranked list, based on this ranking and possibly on the available unicast and broadcast bandwidth.

Abstract: A system may be configured to determine a floor of a building in which the user device is located at a time a call was placed. The information, indicating the determined floor, may be provided to a callee, such as a public safety answering point (“PSAP”). The floor may be determined based on, for example, comparing an altitude of the user device and/or a list of networks or devices that are visible to the user device, to a set of reference information.

Abstract: Service level agreement (SLA) based monitoring and configuration of a path for transmission of data is achieved by identifying an SLA associated with the data and determining transmission requirements associated with the SLA. A status of a network element in the path, such as data occupancy of a data queue included in the network element, may be determined and used to select one of a high bandwidth portion or a low bandwidth portion of the pathway. The occupancy of the queue may be used to estimate a transmission delay, and the estimated transmission delay is used to select between the high bandwidth portion and the low bandwidth portion. The data may be directed to the selected bandwidth portion by changing a quality of service (QoS) value or other attribute associated with the data.

Abstract: A system may be configured to store a set of service-level agreements (“SLAs”) associated with a subscriber. The system may receive key performance indicator (“KPI”) information for traffic that traverses one or more nodes of a network; forecast, based on the SLA information and the KPI information, a violation of the particular SLA; take corrective action, based on the forecasting; and output, to the subscriber, derived information based on the KPI information. The derived information may be outputted after taking the corrective action, and may indicate that the particular SLA was not violated. The derived information may be outputted at a slower rate than a rate at which the KPI information is received by the system.

Abstract: A device may manage end-to-end traffic across a network based on adjusting Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. The device may receive performance requirements for packets corresponding to different applications and QoS levels within segments across the network, and measure performance values along the segments across the network. The device may also identify the application data flows and their associated network locations failing to meet performance values across network segments, and detect an application data flow failing to meet end-to-end (E2E) performance requirements. The device may determine network location(s) to adjust the QoS parameters of the detected application data flow, and adjust its QoS parameters at the determined network location(s) to bring the detected application data flow into compliance with its E2E performance requirements, while maintaining E2E performances compliance of other application data flows.
