20120082073 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OFFLOADING DATA IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a data packet transported on a backhaul link at a first network element; identifying whether the data packet is an upstream data packet; identifying whether the data packet matches an internet protocol (IP) access control list (ACL) or a tunnel endpoint identifier; performing a network address translation on the data packet; and offloading the data packet from the backhaul link. In certain implementations, the method can include identifying that the data packet does not match the IP ACL or the tunnel endpoint identifier; and communicating the data packet to a second network element. In other instances, the method can include identifying that the data packet is a downstream data packet; and restoring a tunnel header and tunnel identification based on an IP address of the data packet. | 04-05-2012 |
20120082146 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OFFLOADING DATA IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a data packet transported on a backhaul link at a first network element; de-capsulating the data packet; identifying whether the data packet is an upstream data packet; identifying whether the data packet matches an internet protocol (IP) access control list (ACL) or a tunnel endpoint identifier; and offloading the data packet from the backhaul link. In more specific embodiment, the method can include identifying that the data packet does not match the IP ACL or the tunnel endpoint identifier; and communicating the data packet to a second network element. In other examples, the method can include identifying that the data packet is a downstream data packet; identifying a service to be performed for the data packet that cannot be performed at the first network element; and communicating the data packet to a second network element. | 04-05-2012 |
20120082161 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DATA TRAFFIC OFFLOADING AT A ROUTER - This disclosure relates to a system and method for offloading selected data traffic in logical tunnels to the Internet. The offloading provides another data path for selected data traffic that can relieve the burden on a mobile operator's network, such as the backhaul and core networks. As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has increased. Upgrading the existing network that was designed for voice calls is not desirable or practical for many mobile operators. This disclosure provides systems and methods for offloading data to the Internet at a router to relieve congestion on the mobile operator's network. | 04-05-2012 |
20130091526 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC BEARER SELECTION FOR IMMERSIVE VIDEO COLLABORATION IN MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS - The disclosure relates to managing the video and audio streams of a video collaboration session in a communication network. Specifically, the streams of the video collaboration session are managed by primitive messages that are sent in-band with the data of the stream. These in-band primitives are then used to modify the wireless bearers or channels that are carrying the streams to a mobile device. The mechanism can dynamically adapt the wireless bearers based on the primitives to ensure characteristics such as Quality of Service and packet loss are within certain parameters while minimizing the resources used to provide the specified service. | 04-11-2013 |
20130144906 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLIENT TRANSPARENT VIDEO READDRESSING - Network operators are striving to find ways to provide stable video services amid a rapid increase in video traffic. In order to provide stable video services with constrained network resources, network operators attempted to reduce video file sizes using a content adaptation engine (CAE). However, network operators failed to efficiently readdress video flows to CAEs. This disclosure provides systems and methods for efficiently readdressing video flows to CAEs. | 06-06-2013 |
20130144979 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTELLIGENT VIDEO DELIVERY AND CACHE MANAGEMENT - Network operators are striving to find ways to provide stable video services amid a rapid increase in video data traffic. In order to provide stable video services with constrained network resources, network operators attempted to reduce video file sizes and to cache videos for future use. However, network operators failed to exploit user information and to leverage benefits of distributing these functionalities across the network. This disclosure provides systems and methods for efficiently delivering video and managing video caches by exploiting user information and by distributing video delivery functionalities across the network. | 06-06-2013 |
20130167181 | WIRELESS TCP LINK STATE MONITORING BASED VIDEO CONTENT ADAPTATION AND DATA DELIVERY - Systems and methods are used for receiving a video request from a user equipment for video to be downloaded; determining a link bandwidth status associated with the user equipment; in response to the link bandwidth status associated with the user equipment, determining whether to implement one or more additional processing functions associated with the video delivery; during the video delivery, repeating the determining such that the one or more additional processing functions associated with the video delivery can be implemented or not implemented at different times during the video delivery. These processing functions can include transrating, HTTP optimization, TCP optimization, and video pacing. | 06-27-2013 |
20130250761 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING MEDIA PROTOCOL FEEDBACK LOOP BASED ON MOBILE SYSTEM INFORMATION - Systems and methods for modifying a media protocol based on subscriber and network performance information is disclosed. Media protocols such as adaptive bitrate protocol can adjust bit rates based on conditions perceived at the mobile device and with a goal of obtaining the highest bit rate possible. The media protocols residing on the mobile device do not have access to network performance information that can change rapidly and impact the experience at the mobile device. For example, congestion, radio air link interference, handoffs, and quality of service parameters can all impact the experience a user has when accessing media files from a mobile device. The requests made by a mobile device can be modified to take into account these factors to enhance the user experience. | 09-26-2013 |
