20080298251 | INTEGRATING LOCAL CONGESTION AND PATH INTERFERENCE INTO QoS ROUTING FOR WIRELESS MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS - A method and apparatus is provided for using a distributed multi-path QoS-aware routing scheme that considers basic MANET characteristics to meet transport service requirements of real-time applications and makes use of multiple discovered paths to calculate a next-hop decision. The QoS Routing scheme superimposes distributed neighborhood congestion, neighborhood density, and link stability and delay information over the multiple discovered paths when the next-hop decision is calculated. | 12-04-2008 |
20100014444 | ADAPTIVE MESSAGE ROUTING FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS - Domains are formed in a mobile ad hoc network by exchanging topology update messages among neighboring nodes, each message including the node coverage of the originating node. The node having an optimum coverage of its neighbors becomes a domain lead (DL) node, and nodes within hearing distance or range of the DL node form a network domain. Each domain node, including the DL, selects a set of bridge nodes (BNs) that can link the domain node to nodes in corresponding neighboring domains. All domain lead nodes in the network exchange messages to inform one another of the nodes contained in their respective domains. A node in one domain seeking a route for a message destined to a node in another domain, may send a route discovery (RDisc) message to the DL node of the inquiring node's domain. A responsive route resolution (RRes) message is returned to the inquiring node. | 01-21-2010 |
20140359672 | STREAMING MULTICAST CONTENT TO A TELEVISION VIA A MOBILE DEVICE - A device may receive information that identifies available content associated with multicast streams available for transmission via a network. The device may determine content selected from the available content. The selected content may be associated with a multicast stream available for transmission via the network. The device may receive the multicast stream associated with the selected content via an air interface. The device may process the multicast stream into a format compatible with a connection interface. The device may output the processed multicast stream to a display device, that is different from the device, via the connection interface. | 12-04-2014 |
20150063187 | ULTRA HIGH-FIDELITY CONTENT DELIVERY USING A MOBILE DEVICE AS A MEDIA GATEWAY - A system may include a group of user devices; and one or more base stations configured to receive programming content from a content provider, and distribute the received programming content, via a broadcast or multicast technique, to the group of user devices. A particular user device, of the group of user devices, may receive distributed programming content, and output, to device that is external to the user device, the programming content received from the particular base station. | 03-05-2015 |
20150078175 | SERVICE QUALITY MEASUREMENT AND INDICATION FOR MULTICAST BROADCAST IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A service quality metric, that measures the quality of a multicast broadcast that is being received by a mobile device, may be determined. In one implementation, a method may include receiving a radio signal corresponding to a multicast broadcast of content that was encoded using a forward error correction (FEC) technique in which the content is segmented and encoded as a plurality of blocks; and reassembling the content corresponding to the received radio signal. The method may further include determining an FEC failure rate based on a relative occurrence of the successfully reassembled blocks to the unsuccessfully reassembled blocks; determining a service quality metric based on the FEC failure rate; and providing a visual indication of the service quality metric. | 03-19-2015 |
20150078179 | SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR FOR MULTICAST BROADCASTING IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - The quality of a multicast broadcast that is being received by a mobile device may be determined. In one implementation, a method may include receiving a radio signal corresponding to a multicast broadcast of content; measuring a strength of the received signal; determining a minimum signal strength to receive the content associated with the multicast broadcast; determining a signal quality metric, associated with the multicast broadcast, the signal quality metric being based on a difference between the measured strength of the signal and the determined minimum signal strength; and providing a visual indication of the signal quality metric. | 03-19-2015 |
20150146682 | CELL DEVICE FOR MULTI-NETWORK COMMUNICATION - A device is configured to receive a request to provide data traffic associated with a user device. The device is configured to determine network information associated with a set of networks. The device may be associated with a small cell long term evolution (“LTE”) network, which may connect to the set of networks. The set of networks may include a macro cell LTE network and a fiber optic network. The network information may include information that identifies a condition of the set of networks. The device is configured to identify a particular network, of the set of networks, based on the network information, and provide the data traffic, via the small cell LTE network and the particular network, based on identifying the particular network. | 05-28-2015 |
20150270979 | INTERFACE FOR ACCESSING EVOLVED MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST MULTICAST SERVICES (eMBMS) MIDDLEWARE SERVICES - A device provides, to another device, a start request for an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) session, and receives eMBMS session traffic from the other device based on the start request. The device determines track information from the eMBMS session traffic, and decodes the eMBMS session traffic into a format understood by the device. The device determines quality information associated with the eMBMS session traffic, and presents, for display, the decoded eMBMS session traffic, the track information, and the quality information associated with the eMBMS session traffic. | 09-24-2015 |
