20100178935 | PROVIDING A LOCATION SERVICE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK USING AN INDICATION OF WHETHER THE LOCATION SERVICE IS AN EMERGENCY-RELATED LOCATION SERVICE OR A LAW ENFORCEMENT-RELATED LOCATION SERVICE - In a wireless communications network, a method of performing a location service with respect to a mobile station includes communicating a paging message containing an indication of whether the paging message is related to at least one of an emergency-related location service and a law enforcement-related location service. In another aspect, a mobile station in a wireless communications network communicates messaging to move the mobile station to a traffic channel in response to a callback by at least one of an emergency services entity and a law enforcement entity. The mobile station also receives a location request on the traffic channel, the location request containing an indication of whether the location request is related to at least one of an emergency-related location service and a law enforcement-related location service. | 07-15-2010 |
20110047282 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR SELECTING AN OPTIMAL MEDIA-ADAPTATION RESOURCE FOR LATENCY-SENSITIVE APPLICATIONS - Systems, methods, and computer readable media for selecting an optimal media-adaptation resource for latency-sensitive applications are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for selecting an optimal media-adaptation resource for latency-sensitive applications. The method includes determining a need for a media-adaptation resource for a media stream between nodes in a telecommunications network, and, at a selection entity for selecting media-adaptation resources, selecting, from a plurality of media-adaptation resources, a media-adaptation resource for the media stream based on an Internet protocol (IP) topological proximity of the resource to at least one of the nodes. | 02-24-2011 |
20110320592 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR CONTENT DELIVERY USING DEEP PACKET INSPECTION - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for content delivery using deep packet inspection are disclosed. According to one method, steps are performed at a packet inspection (PI) module that is distinct from a cache module. The method includes receiving a request for content. The method also includes inspecting the request to obtain information about the content. The method further includes determining, by comparing the obtained information with traffic management policy information based on a dynamically derived content access profile, whether the cache module is to process the request. The method also includes, in response to determining that the cache module is to process the request, sending the request towards the cache module. | 12-29-2011 |
20120123870 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING PERSONALIZATION OF DATA SERVICE PLANS - Systems and methods for enabling personalization of data service plans are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method can include receiving profile and network usage data of a subscriber. Further, the method can include generating a personalized data service offer for the subscriber based on the profile and network usage data. The method can also include presenting the personalized data service offer to the subscriber. The subscriber may respond to accept the offer. | 05-17-2012 |
20120140624 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC CONGESTION MANAGEMENT IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - Systems and methods for dynamic congestion management in communications networks are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method can include determining traffic statistics of at least one node in a communications network. The method can also include determining whether the at least one node is congested based on the traffic statistics. Further, the method can include dynamically changing or provisioning a set of at least one traffic shaping rule for application to the at least one node in response to determining that the at least one node is congested. | 06-07-2012 |
20120176896 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR DEEP PACKET INSPECTION (DPI)-ENABLED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT FOR xDSL NETWORKS - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for DPI-enabled traffic shaping for xDSL networks are disclosed. According to one method, a DPI node analyzes signaling for an xDSL network access node or a broadband network gateway to determine nodal or link capacities available to nodes upstream from the network access node or the broadband network gateway for delivering downstream traffic to the network access device. The DPI node uses the determined capacities to shape downstream traffic delivered to the network access device. | 07-12-2012 |
