摘要:
A method for operating a network, wherein said network (1) includes a plurality of network nodes (5), and wherein traffic flows - real flows - are routed from network node (5) to network node (5) within said network (1), is characterized in the steps of introducing in said network (1) a virtual source node (2) and a virtual destination node (3), and creating virtual links between said virtual source node (2) and each of said network nodes (5) as well as between each of said network nodes (5) and said virtual destination node (3), introducing a number k of virtual flows originating at said virtual source node (2) and terminating at said virtual destination node (3) in such a way that a network node (5) can either route a virtual flow or any real flow, formulating an IP (Integer Programming) problem that aims at maximizing the number of routed flows - real flows and virtual flows - and solving said problem wherein throughput demands are taken into account, and those network nodes (5) which are occupied with routing a virtual flow are powered down.
摘要:
A radio base station system includes at least one Radio Equipment Control (REC) that comprises radio functions of a digital baseband domain, and at least one Radio Equipment (RE) that serves as an air interface and comprises analogue radio frequency functions. A Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) link connects the at least one REC and the at least one RE. CPRI traffic carried by the CPRI link leaves an amount of spare capacity. The CPRI link carries non-CPRI traffic encapsulated within the spare capacity.
摘要:
A method for supporting admission control and/or path selection in a communication network, the network including a plurality of wireless communication links, possibly of different link technologies, established between a plurality of network nodes, includes the steps of partitioning the communication links of the network into groups of communication links—link groups—, assigning each link group an associated link group controller that is configured to observe and/or measure the performance and/or quality of the link group, based on the observations and/or measurements, computing estimates of metrics for the capacity of the respective link group and the costs for using each of the communication links of the respective link group, and transmitting the estimates to at least one resource management entity being configured to take admission control and/or path selection decisions on the basis of the estimates. A communication network with admission control and/or path selection supporting functionality is described.

摘要:
A method for operating a mobile terminal as access point, wherein the access point composes a network together with one or more associated client stations, wherein the access point has an operational mode of alternating awake and sleep periods, and wherein the access point broadcasts beacon frames at regular intervals for signaling communication parameters to the associated client stations, is characterized in that the access point, based on the level of activity in the network, adjusts the communication parameters by slowing down or accelerating the access of the associated client stations to the network. Furthermore, a corresponding mobile terminal is disclosed.
摘要:
A method for managing energy consumption in a wireless network, in particular a mobile radio network, wherein the wireless network includes radio access points that provide uplink and downlink connections to the wireless network for mobile stations, and wherein the uplink and the downlink connection of at least one mobile station being connected to the wireless network are physically served by different radio access points is characterized in that, at least temporarily, one or more of the radio access points function as unidirectional radio access points that provide either uplink connections or downlink connections-radio resource access-for the at least one mobile station. Furthermore, a corresponding wireless network system is disclosed.
摘要:
A method for supporting radio access network sharing is usable in connection with a hosting RAN (radio access network) provided by a hosting RAN provider. The hosting RAN includes one or more cells that are served by radio access network resources of the hosting RAN. At least one participating operator uses allocated shared radio access network resources of the hosting RAN provided by the hosting RAN provider under a sharing agreement. A controlling entity supervises shared radio access network resource utilization of the participating operator in the cells of the hosting RAN.
