20120120814 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING PROCESSING WORKLOADS - Systems and associated methods for estimating wireless workloads are described herein. Systems and methods provide for generating an estimate of a wireless workload's processing requirements from the combined knowledge of system specific values, such as system parameters, platform details, and implementation details. Systems and methods for estimating wireless workloads may be utilized in various wireless protocols, including, 3G, WiMax, LTE, WiFi, femtocells, and point-to-point wireless links. The estimated workloads may be used for scheduling wireless workloads in a shared computing environment. | 05-17-2012 |

20130074134 | CACHING LARGE OBJECTS WITH MULTIPLE, UNKNOWN, AND VARYING ANCHOR POINTS AT AN INTERMEDIARY PROXY DEVICE - Methods and arrangements for caching video object portions. A request for stand-alone content in a video object is received, the content neither being cached nor being adjacent to a cached video object portion, and a first portion of the video object is cached. A value is assigned to the first video object portion. A subsequent request for content in the video object is received, the subsequent request corresponding to access to the first video object portion and a second, uncached portion of the video object. The value of the first video object portion is updated. For the second video object portion, an amount to cache and a value are determined. | 03-21-2013 |

20140057592 | DYNAMIC SERVICE CLASS UPGRADES IN DATA NETWORKS - A method, program product and system for dynamically offering upgraded services in a network. The method comprising the steps of: selecting users for a possible offer of an upgrade to services within the network, based on user activity at user devices accessing the network; obtaining network context data information regarding the user activity and the network; sequentially ordering the selected users based on a likelihood that the users will purchase the upgrade to services; determining the upgrade to services to be offered based on a service prediction availability within the network; and offering the upgrade to services to the selected users for a specific time period. | 02-27-2014 |
20140146693 | ESTIMATING AVAILABLE BANDWITH IN CELLULAR NETWORKS - Systems and methods for estimating bandwidth. A first probe flow is sent into cellular traffic, and a first bandwidth quantity achieved by the first probe flow is measured. A second probe flow is sent into the cellular traffic, and a second bandwidth quantity achieved by the first probe flow while the second probe flow is in the cellular traffic is measured. The first bandwidth quantity and the second bandwidth quantity are compared, and at least one result from the comparing is determined. | 05-29-2014 |
20150063106 | EXECUTING VARIABLE-PRIORITY JOBS USING MULTIPLE STATISTICAL THRESHOLDS IN CELLULAR NETWORKS - Methods and arrangements for managing variable-priority flows in a network. Requests for transmission of digital content are received from client devices, each request being associated with a priority, the requests including at least one lower-priority delayable request and at least one higher-priority request. A usable bandwidth for delivery of the requested digital content through the network is estimated and, within the estimated usable bandwidth, there is controlled at least one flow associated with the at least one lower-priority request in the presence of at least one flow for the at least one higher-priority request. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein. | 03-05-2015 |
20160112891 | ESTIMATING AVAILABLE BANDWITH IN CELLULAR NETWORKS - Systems and methods for estimating bandwidth. A first probe flow is sent into cellular traffic, and a first bandwidth quantity achieved by the first probe flow is measured. A second probe flow is sent into the cellular traffic, and a second bandwidth quantity achieved by the first probe flow while the second probe flow is in the cellular traffic is measured. The first bandwidth quantity and the second bandwidth quantity are compared, and at least one result from the comparing is determined. | 04-21-2016 |
