20110085630 | TCP FLOW CLOCK EXTRACTION - A packet trace is received. The packet trace is transformed into a sequence of pulse signals in a temporal domain. The sequence of pulse signals in the temporal domain is transformed into a sequence of pulse signals in a frequency domain. Peaks are detected within relevant frequency bands in the sequence of pulse signals in the frequency domain. A fundamental frequency is identified within the peaks. The fundamental frequency, which represents the TCP flow clock, is returned. | 04-14-2011 |
20110096662 | Inferring TCP Initial Congestion Window - A packet trace is received. Inter-arrival times between the multiple packets in the packet trace are determined. An inter-arrival time in the inter-arrival times that is greater than a threshold is identified. An order number of the inter-arrival time is identified. A determination is made as to whether a size of each of at least a portion of the multiple packets is equal to a maximum segment size. When a determination is made that the size of each of at least a portion of the multiple packets is equal to the maximum segment size a size of the ICW as a product of the order number and the maximum segment size is returned. | 04-28-2011 |
20110103256 | Detecting Irregular Retransmissions - A packet trace is received. Transmitted bytes and retransmitted bytes are identified in the packet trace. Upon identifying the transmitted bytes and the retransmitted bytes in the packet trace, one or more time-rate pairs are determined from the packet trace. The time-rate pairs are plotted on a rate tracking graph. | 05-05-2011 |
20120057571 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NORMALIZING CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK DATA - A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for normalizing cellular communications network data are disclosed. For example, the method collects a data packet from the cellular communications network, modifies a time stamp of the data packet in accordance with a promotion delay time from the time stamp of the data packet to create a normalized data packet and processes the normalized data packet to optimize state machine configurations. | 03-08-2012 |
20120058773 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A DEMOTION IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for performing a demotion in a cellular communications network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a packet indicating that a batching transfer is completed, determines if a background packet was received after receiving the packet indicating that the batching transfer is completed and demotes a state of a state machine implemented by a radio network controller to a lower state if the background packet was not received. | 03-08-2012 |
20120120812 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INFERRING STATE TRANSITIONS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A method, a computer readable medium and an apparatus for inferring state transitions in a wireless communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method infers a state promotion procedure. In another embodiment, the method infers a state demotion procedure. | 05-17-2012 |
20120122405 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A DYNAMIC INACTIVITY TIMER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A method, a computer readable medium and an apparatus for providing a dynamic inactivity timer are disclosed. For example, the method monitors a timer for a time threshold associated with a burst of a plurality of bursts of packets, and determines if the timer for the time threshold associated with the burst has expired. The method predicts an inter-burst time for the burst, if the timer for the time threshold associated with the burst has expired and sets the dynamic inactivity timer in accordance with the inter-burst time for the burst. | 05-17-2012 |
20120151041 | INTELLIGENT MOBILITY APPLICATION PROFILING TOOL - Systems and methods for analyzing mobile device applications within a wireless data network are presented herein. More particularly, described herein is a novel Intelligent Mobility Application Profiling Tool (iMAP) and/or other mechanisms, systems and methods for profiling and benchmarking applications associated with mobile devices in a wireless data network. Various systems and methods described herein expose cross-layer interaction associated with a network device in order to profile an application on the network device with respect to energy efficiency, performance, and functionality. As described herein, radio resource control (RRC) analysis can be performed to infer RRC states associated with a given application, identify tail time, etc. Further, analyzers are employed for various layers, including transmission control protocol (TCP) and/or hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), as well as to analyze communication bursts associated with a given application. Analysis results are subsequently utilized to deliver application profiling results to a user. | 06-14-2012 |
20120155319 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARACTERIZING INFRASTRUCTURE OF A CELLULAR NETWORK - A method and apparatus for characterizing an infrastructure of a wireless network are disclosed. For example, the method obtains a first data set from a server log, and obtains a second data set from a plurality of wireless endpoint device. The method characterizes a parameter of the infrastructure of the wireless network using the first data set and the second data set and optimizes a network resource of the wireless network based on the parameter. | 06-21-2012 |
20120307678 | Inferring TCP Initial Congestion Window - A packet trace is received. Inter-arrival times between the multiple packets in the packet trace are determined. An inter-arrival time in the inter-arrival times that is greater than a threshold is identified. An order number of the inter-arrival time is identified.
