Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a dynamic bandwidth scheduling method and device, and a computer storage medium. The method is applied to each node in an Optical Burst Transport ring-Network (OBTN) and includes that: when a target node serves as a master node, for each source node in the OBTN, when a timeslot is allocated for a connection from the source node to a certain destination node, a timeslot occupied by a destination node having the smallest hop count to a destination node configured currently is selected preferentially among timeslots in which there exists an Optical Burst (OB) where there has been no drop operation; and when the target node serves as a master node, a timeslot allocation result is converted into a bandwidth map and the bandwidth map is sent to each slave node in the OBTN.

The present invention is directed to a method and an apparatus for use in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a method of supporting a group communication and an apparatus therefore, in which the method comprises: establishing a communication connection with a second UE via a first relay UE; and receiving, from the first relay UE, a message requesting a relay connection, the message including first information indicating a current hop count, wherein if a condition is satisfied, the relay connection is provided between the first relay UE and a fourth UE via a second relay UE, the second relay UE being the first UE, wherein if the condition is not satisfied, the request of the relay connection is rejected, wherein the condition includes: the current hop count is less than a maximum number of allowed hops.
Abstract:
An example communication system, including: a plurality of devices that form a mesh-type network, each of the plurality of devices performing communication from a source device to a destination device, directly or by relaying via one or more other devices, and at least one of the plurality of devices including a selecting unit, that selects a communication route from the source device to the destination device according to a first restriction with regard to a relay value indicative of the number of communication routes that each device is able to relay.
Abstract:
A networking system comprising a plurality of content routers coupled to each other and to a plurality of providers and configured to route and cache content data, wherein the content routers are further configured to locate and route requested content to a user node coupled to the content routers, wherein the providers are configured to publish content and the content routers are further configured to receive and cache the content data in response to an interest request for content and to flood a content identifier for the content data to a plurality of neighboring content routers within a specified radius, wherein the content identifier enables the plurality of neighboring content routers to determine a nearest location from which to obtain the content data to enable efficient content routing.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, the invention involves information routing in networks, and, more specifically, to defining a framework using swarm intelligence and utilization of the defined framework for routing information in the network, especially for cloud computing applications. In an embodiment, information about available information/services is pushed to network nodes using information packets (ants). Nodes requiring services send query packets (ants) and a node may send a response to a query ant when information is available. Ants may be forwarded throughout the network based on popularity of nodes, freshness of information/requests, routing table information, and requests or interest by consumer nodes captured in information routing table. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A communications system (10) includes a service provider device (12), a mobile wireless communications device (20), and a plurality of communication infrastructure nodes (14a...14n). The plurality of communication infrastructure nodes are configured to generate an association mismatch (15a) communications path between the service provider device and the mobile wireless communications device, the association mismatch communications path including at least two communication infrastructure nodes (14a, 14b) in series. The plurality of communications infrastructure nodes are also configured to generate a corrected association communications path (15b) between the service provider device and the mobile wireless communications device from the mismatch communications path, the corrected association communications path including just a single communication infrastructure node (14a) from the at least two communication infrastructure nodes.
Abstract:
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) communicates between a source node and destination node and includes a plurality of intermediate nodes. A main communication path is established between the source node through intermediate nodes to the destination node based on an underlying routing protocol. Alternative communication paths are established among neighboring nodes as standby nodes that are positioned an 'n' hop distance from nodes of the main communication paths to form a tube of multiple communication paths from the source node to the destination node. The main communication path reconfigured within the tube of multiple communication paths to an alternative communication path using at least one standby node when the main communication path is broken.
Abstract:
A method for constructing a virtual grid (10) for routing data via wireless sensor nodes (20) of a sensor field (30), the method comprising: flooding the sensor field (30) to identify a first terminator (V1), the flooding originating from a first node (V0); flooding the sensor field (30) to identify a second terminator (V2), the flooding originating from the first terminator (V1); and forming a main communication path (40) by selecting nodes between the first and second terminators (V1, V2); wherein the virtual grid (10) is constructed by flooding the sensor field (30) such that each node in the sensor field (30) is assigned a row identifier relative to the main communication path (40), the flooding originating from the nodes belonging to the main communication path (40); and wherein each node is assigned a column identifier according to its hop count from the first terminator (V1).
