Verizon Network Path Optimization Patent Application
Summary
Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc. has filed patent application US20260113260A1 for a method and apparatus to optimize communications network paths. The system obtains actual and target parametric values for network devices, generates model input using those values, and produces path optimization recommendations through a path optimization model. The computing device then causes configuration changes to implement the recommendations. The application was filed on October 23, 2024, under application number 18923934.
“Techniques for optimizing paths for network communications traffic are disclosed.”
About this source
USPTO classification H04L covers transmission of digital information: network protocols, modulation schemes, wireless signal processing, coding, encryption in transit, and multiplexing. With 5G, 6G, and satellite internet driving new filings, H04L is one of the largest active patent classes. Every newly published application in H04L lands in this feed, around 215 a month. Applications publish 18 months after filing, so this feed reveals what MediaTek, Qualcomm, Ericsson, Samsung, Huawei, and dozens of smaller companies were working on in the prior year and a half. Watch this if you compete in networking hardware, advise telecoms on IP strategy, or scout acquisition targets in wireless infrastructure.
What changed
USPTO published patent application US20260113260A1 for Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc., covering techniques for optimizing network communications traffic paths. The method involves obtaining actual parametric values and target parametric values for multiple network optimization factors, generating model input, and producing optimization recommendations via a path optimization model that causes configuration changes to the network.
Affected parties include telecommunications companies and network operators seeking to implement automated network optimization. The patent application does not create immediate compliance obligations but establishes intellectual property claims that may be relevant for companies developing similar network configuration technologies.

Abstract
Techniques for optimizing paths for network communications traffic are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising obtaining, by computing device, for a plurality of network devices of a communications network, actual parametric values corresponding to multiple network communications path optimization factors, obtaining, by the computing device, target parametric values for the multiple factors, the target parametric values comprising target values corresponding to the actual parametric values, generating, by the computing device, model input for the plurality of network devices using the obtained actual and target parametric values, generating, by the computing device, path optimization recommendation information using a path optimization model and the model input, the path optimization recommendation information indicating at least one recommendation for optimizing a communications path of the communications network, and causing, by the computing device, at least one configuration change to the communications network in accordance with the at least one recommendation.
