Title: David C. Ma and His Patent on Home Location Register Processor Occupancy

Introduction

David C. Ma is an inventor based in Naperville, Illinois. His patent work includes a method for estimating processor occupancy in clusters of home location register (HLR) nodes, a technology relevant to telecommunications network planning.

Latest Patents

The provided information identifies one patent associated with Ma: “Determining Processor Occupancy of a Cluster of Home Location Registers.” The patent describes methods and computer-readable media that use a deterministic performance model to estimate processor occupancy. The model considers the number of nodes in a cluster, call attempts and autonomous registrations per unit of time, and the processor utilization required to handle each activity. It can also help determine how many HLR nodes are needed to keep each node below a selected processor-occupancy threshold. Ma is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

The supplied information associates Ma with Alcatel-Lucent. His patent reflects work on modeling telecommunications system performance and supporting decisions about the capacity and configuration of HLR clusters.
