Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of: determining whether a calling number of a call is unallocated; determining whether the calling number is unassigned to a subscriber; validating the calling number as an authentic telephone number; categorizing the calling number as fraud or spam responsive to the calling number being unallocated, allocated and unassigned, or allocated, assigned and invalid; and categorizing the calling number as neutral responsive to the calling number being allocated, assigned and validated. Other embodiments are disclosed.
A processing system may obtain a downscaled version of a reference copy of a video, comprising a plurality of downscaled versions of a plurality of frames of the reference copy of the video, obtain a first recorded frame of a first variant of a plurality of variants associated with the reference copy of the video, where the plurality of variants comprises a plurality of copies of the video encoded at different bitrates, generate a first downscaled version of the first recorded frame, calculate a first plurality of image distances between the first downscaled version of the first recorded frame and the plurality of downscaled versions of the plurality of frames of the reference copy of the video, and determine a first frame index of the first recorded frame in accordance with a first least image distance from among the first plurality of image distances that is calculated.
H04N 21/2662 - Controlling the complexity of the video stream, e.g. by scaling the resolution or bitrate of the video stream based on the client capabilities
H04N 19/10 - Methods or arrangements for coding, decoding, compressing or decompressing digital video signals using adaptive coding
H04N 19/154 - Measured or subjectively estimated visual quality after decoding, e.g. measurement of distortion
H04N 21/232 - Content retrieval operation within server, e.g. reading video streams from disk arrays
H04N 21/2343 - Processing of video elementary streams, e.g. splicing of video streams or manipulating encoded video stream scene graphs involving reformatting operations of video signals for distribution or compliance with end-user requests or end-user device requirements
H04N 21/236 - Assembling of a multiplex stream, e.g. transport stream, by combining a video stream with other content or additional data, e.g. inserting a URL [Uniform Resource Locator ] into a video stream, multiplexing software data into a video streamRemultiplexing of multiplex streamsInsertion of stuffing bits into the multiplex stream, e.g. to obtain a constant bit-rateAssembling of a packetised elementary stream
H04N 21/24 - Monitoring of processes or resources, e.g. monitoring of server load, available bandwidth or upstream requests
A processing system including at least one processor of a network access device may detect an installation of the network access device in a wireless communication system of a vehicle. The processing system may next interrogate at least one antenna unit of the wireless communication system of the vehicle and obtain, from the at least one antenna unit in response to the interrogating, a set of antenna capability information. The processing system may then configure the wireless communication system of the vehicle in accordance with at least a portion of the set of the antenna capability information.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, an AT command that allows an application service provider to modify suspend/resume (S/R) and/or deactivate/activate (D/A) functionality specified in one or more elementary files of a UICC. The S/R and/or D/A functionality can be influenced by the application service provider without relying on SIM-OTA messages being forwarded by a mobile operator. Other embodiments are disclosed.
A method includes selecting a study group including a first network element and a second network element of a network, selecting a control group including a third network element, identifying times at which a change is deployed at the first network element and the second network element, time-aligning the change at the first element and the change at the second network element to a common time, performing a statistical analysis that compares the performance of the network before the common time to the performance of the network after the common time, detecting an impact of the change on a performance of the network based on the statistical analysis, and initiating a remedial action when the impact comprises a degradation to the performance.
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first communication request that includes an identifier, determining that the identifier is included in a first plurality of unassigned identifiers, resulting in a first determination, wherein the first plurality of unassigned identifiers is associated with a plurality of networks, and based on the first determination, rejecting the first communication request. Other embodiments are disclosed.
