A system can receive an indication associated with establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection. The system can determine, based on the indication, information that identifies a user device associated with the TCP connection. The system can determine, based on the information that identifies the user device, a predicted congestion level of a base station associated with the TCP connection. The system can select, based on the predicted congestion level, a congestion control algorithm to be implemented for the TCP connection. The system can cause the TCP connection to be established and implement the congestion control algorithm for the TCP connection.

The present invention relates to a communication system which can effectively avoid congestion in ITS communications at a street intersection to properly assist the driving of autonomous vehicles. An information source roadside apparatus 3 acquires terminal movement information on movement directions of nearby pedestrian terminals, and transmits the information to an information destination roadside apparatus, which determines, based on the received information, if there is predicted congestion in the terminal-to-terminal communications at a predetermined future time. When determining that there is predicted congestion, the information destination roadside apparatus transmits an instruction for a congestion avoidance operation to the pedestrian terminals 1. Then, each pedestrian terminal performs the congestion avoidance operation by switching a communication mode from a direct communication mode using the terminal-to-terminal communications, to an indirect communication mode using communications via a roadside apparatus.

A method includes processing first data from a network node to determine a mobile device is accessing a communication network and to identify a first traffic pattern. The method also includes causing a network device to activate the first network function based on the first traffic pattern. The method further includes processing second data from the network node to determine the communication network is no longer being accessed by the mobile device and to identify a second traffic pattern. The method additionally includes causing the network device to deactivate the first network function and to activate a second network function based on the second traffic pattern. The method also includes determining a first network resource usage and causing a charge rate to be applied for using the first network function based on the first network resource usage.

Technology is disclosed herein for monitoring a network path. In an implementation, a device on a network path obtains a burst capacity of the network path, determines a round trip time associated with a burst of traffic sent over the network path, and determines a predicted throughput of the network path based at least in part on the burst capacity of the network path and the round trip time of the burst of traffic.

A system may be configured to perform multi-stream bandwidth dispersal. In some aspects, the system may receive, via a communication network, a plurality of frame collections from a video capture device and one or more other video capture devices, and detect a congestion context based upon the plurality of frame collections. Further, the system may determine a schedule notification for the video capture device, the schedule notification providing instruction for transmitting a frame of a frame collection, and transmit, via the communication network, the schedule notification to the video capture device.

A system includes first, second, and third processors. The first processor is configured to detect congestion in a packet flow formed of a plurality of packets of a same type received from a first device in a network via a first network connection. The packets in the packet flow being destined for a second device in the network. The second processor is configured to send, when congestion notification packet generation is enabled for the packet flow, a congestion notification packet to the first device via the first network connection. The congestion notification packet identifies the packet flow for which congestion is detected. The third processor is configured to forward the plurality of packets in the packet flow to the second device via a second the network connection.
