Multi-media quality of service and quality of user experience optimization through voice prioritization

Techniques to optimize quality of service and quality of user experience for multi-media mobile applications are described. A traffic detection component detects the video and audio data components of a video call. Detection may be via a modified traffic detection component or via a software quality of service component exposing traffic detection component functionality to a multi-media application via an application programming interface. Based on available bandwidth for a session of the multi-media application and heuristics, video and audio data components may be placed in different contexts with different priorities. In the specific case of a video call, the video and audio data components are each associated with a quality of user experience threshold, which when available bandwidth fails to meet those thresholds, an optimizing heuristic to trigger the traffic detection component to change contexts and priorities of the video and audio data components.

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.
