Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080279216 | System and Method of Traffic Management Over Mixed Networks - A method and apparatus is provided of handling modified packets containing additional information regarding source and data type for efficient processing within a mixed network. Incoming and outgoing packets are sent via a dynamic protocol which adapts to circumstances, including the type of network being used, the type of packet being transmitted and the network guidelines. | 11-13-2008 |
20080293413 | System and Method of Registering with an Access Point - A method of registering a mobile device with an access point, is provided in which the mobile device preregisters with access points nearby in order to accelerate the registration process when roaming is initiated. Roaming may be initiated when the SNR is increasing relative to the current access point and decreasing relative to another access point. | 11-27-2008 |
20090122712 | System And Method Of Providing Service Information To A Carrier - A method of providing service performance information to a carrier for an application over a network is provided, wherein parameters relating to the application are transmitted to a mobile device, and the mobile device stores information relating to packets transmitted for the application. Should the information stored exceed the parameters, an alert is sent to the network. | 05-14-2009 |
20090122808 | System And Method Of Scheduling Delivery Of Packets - A system and method of scheduling delivery of a packet for transmission from a network device, is provided. The packet is classified according to type, and queued with other packets of the same type. Each packet is associated with an expiry time, after which it will not be delivered. A queue tracker monitors the queues and removes expired packets. | 05-14-2009 |
20090265752 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MOBILE DEVICE USING A NETWORK POLICY - A method of controlling a mobile device based on a network policy, wherein the network policy is stored on the mobile device when a server or access point is accessed. When a packet is transmitted, it is sent only if it meets the policy parameters as established by the network policy. Parameters may include the type of service or packet, the time of day of the usage, or the maximum tolerable delay permitted. | 10-22-2009 |
20090304028 | DATA PACKET STRUCTURE AND PROTOCOL - A dynamically generated data structure is provided for preparing packets for delivery to a far-host. The data structure includes up to three layers of information pertaining to the application generating the packet, and the transport protocol requested. The data structure will allow the packet to be sent via different networks and corresponding protocols depending on the availability of same. | 12-10-2009 |
20110164558 | USING A PROXY TO IMPROVE A PACKET BASED WIRELESS NETWORK - This disclosure describes a system and method for optimizing the transport of payload data on a wireless telecommunications network. For downstream data flow to a mobile communication device client, an application proxy residing on a transmitting server terminates TCP data flows, extracts payload data and encapsulates the data into a UDP packet. A far host server residing on a receiving client device receives the UDP packet, extracts the payload and presents it to an application program on the client device as a TCP packet. For upstream data flow to a server, software running on the mobile communication device acts as the application proxy, extracting payload data from a TCP data flow and encapsulating the extracted data into a UDP packet. The server receiving the UDP packet will extract the payload and present it as a TCP packet. | 07-07-2011 |
20150058494 | TRANSCODING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method of providing streaming content to a user device is provided, including: providing a gateway having a transcoder, having a single encoder and a single decoder, the transcoder configured to adapt the streaming content to a plurality of bit rates; the user device requesting the content at a bit rate from said gateway; the gateway instructing the transcoder to provide the content at the bit rate; the user device requesting the content at a second bit rate from said gateway; the gateway instructing the transcoder to provide the content at the second bit rate; and the transcoder transcoding the content at the second bit rate. | 02-26-2015 |
20150070585 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING STREAMING SERVICES - A gateway for location at a user premises is provided. Bother users and user devices are registered with the gateway which is provided by a service provider. Users access services, such as video streaming, on their user devices via the gateway. The gateway allows users to share content. The gateway collects information about the user's patterns of behaviour for the system provider, and can be used to directly obtain feedback from the users. | 03-12-2015 |
