Systems and methods for communications node upgrade and selection

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for intelligent node type selection in a telecommunications network. In one implementation, a customer set is obtained for a communications node in the telecommunications network. The customer set includes an existing customer set and a new customer set. A set of customer events is generated for a node type of the communications node using a simulator. The set of customer events is generated by simulating the customer set over time through a discrete event simulation. An impact of the customer events is modeled for the node type of the communications node. The node type is identified from a plurality of node types for a telecommunications build based on the impact of the customer events for the node type.

A METHOD FOR ROUTING COMMUNICATION CALLS VIA VOIP AND VIA PSTN TO COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS THEREOF

A method for routing communication calls via VoIP and via PSTN to communication devices and computer program products thereof A user (B) having a communication device (H) running an application (D) receives a communication call and upon the user (B) having decided, for a given data network, and before the call being received, which one of a VoIP or PSTN interface be preferred for receiving the call, the method comprising: if the VoIP interface is preferred, routing the communication call by a Communication Call Control Service (F) to the mobile communication application (D) as a VoIP call, and delaying the routing of the communication call over the PSTN interface; or if the PSTN interface is preferred, routing the communication call via the PSTN interface as a PSTN call, and if the result of the PSTN call indicates that said communication device (H) is not registered in the PSTN network further routing the communication call via the VoIP interface. Route and combine VoIP and PSTN incoming call alerts to maximise chance for the call to be answered.

Techniques for managing an aging telephone number before returning to active service

Techniques are described for managing out of service telephone numbers (TNs) before returning them to active service. A telephone number profile score may be calculated for an out of service TN entering an aging protocol, the aging protocol comprising a pre-determined number of days the TN must remain out of service. The out of service TN may then be assigned a profile based on its telephone number profile score, the profile indicative of how quickly the TN will achieve one or more quality thresholds. The number of days from entry into the aging protocol it will take the TN to achieve the one or more quality thresholds based on its assigned profile may be determined. The quality threshold status of the TN may then be updated each time it crosses one of the quality thresholds. Once it completes the aging process, the TN may be placed into an inventory of TNs eligible for active service. Thereafter, the quality threshold status of the TN may continue to be updated each time it crosses one of the quality thresholds.

Methods, systems, and products for voice-over internet protocol calls

Network resources for a call are allocated. The network resources for the call are reserved based on a reservation. The network resources are reserved before any one network resource is committed. If the call is confirmed, then the network resources are committed.

Position parameterized recursive network architecture with topological addressing
09762531 · 2017-09-12 · ·

A digital data communications network that supports efficient, scalable routing of data and use of network resources by combining a recursive division of the network into hierarchical sub-networks with repeating parameterized general purpose link communication protocols and an addressing methodology that reflects the physical structure of the underlying network hardware. The sub-division of the network enhances security by reducing the amount of the network visible to an attack and by insulating the network hardware itself from attack. The fixed bandwidth range at each sub-network level allows quality of service to be assured and controlled. The routing of data is aided by a topological addressing scheme that allows data packets to be forwarded towards their destination based on only local knowledge of the network structure, with automatic support for mobility and multicasting. The repeating structures in the network greatly simplify network management and reduce the effort to engineer new network capabilities.

System and method for enabling VPN-less session setup for connecting mobile data devices to an enterprise data network

A mobile application gateway configured to interconnect mobile communication devices on a cellular network with an enterprise network is provided. The mobile application gateway includes a voice and data signaling gateway configured to provide routing functionalities, service functionalities and admission control. A gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) is configured to establish a secure data session between one or more of the mobile communication devices and the enterprise network by establishing a GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel between a carrier-hosted serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the GGSN.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API) TO PROVIDE NETWORK METRICS AND NETWORK RESOURCE CONTROL TO USERS

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network application programming interface (“API”), and, more particularly, API to provide network metrics and network resource control to users. In some embodiments, a computing system might receive customer network telemetry data from a first network via a gateway API, might receive service provider network telemetry data from a second network(s) via a network API, might compile the customer network telemetry data and the service provider network telemetry data, might receive a request from a user to access information regarding network services associated with the user, might filter the compiled customer network telemetry data and the compiled service provider network telemetry data to isolate first telemetry data and second telemetry data, respectively, might provide the user with access to at least one of the first telemetry data or the second telemetry data, and might provide the user with options to control network resources.

Methods and systems for smart resource allocation based on work location predictions

Embodiments disclosed herein describe a method and system that create a user profile associated with a user. The user profile can include locations in which the user has worked and information relating to one or more devices associated with the user. The system can receive data from the devices and analyze the data to predict a work location of the user. Resources can be optimized based on the predicted work location of the user and the predicted work locations of other users.
