Methods of component carrier aggregation are provided. One embodiment of the method includes aggregating, at a base station, one or more first component carriers that are backwards compatible with a first carrier type and one or more second component carriers that are non-backwards compatible with the first carrier type for communication with first user equipment according to a second carrier type used by the second component carrier(s).

A base station receives packets at a base station in a first network that operates according to a first radio access technology (RAT). The base station selectively routes a portion of the packets towards one or more second networks that operates according to one or more second RATs and transmits information indicating a number of packets in the portion of the packets. The gateway receives the information indicating the number of packets from the base station, determines charging information based on the information indicating the number of packets, and transmits the charging information to a charging entity in the first network.

An exemplary method of communicating includes a relay node that uses a cell identifier that is also used by a base station having a coverage area within which the relay node is located. The method includes determining that a mobile station is within a communication range of the relay node. A transmission power from the relay node is controlled so that the total transmission power of at least one transmission from the relay node and the base station corresponds to a selected transmit power limit. A timing of a downlink transmission from the base station and the relay node is coordinated based on a schedule determined by the base station. At least one uplink control parameter is set at the base station based upon uplink information regarding a link between the mobile station and the relay node.

An apparatus is provided for performing testing of at least a portion of a system under test via a Test Access Port (TAP) configured to access the system under test. The apparatus includes a first processor for executing instructions adapted for controlling testing of at least a portion of the system under test via the TAP, and a second processor for supporting an interface to the TAP. The first processor is configured for detecting, during execution of the test instructions, TAP-related instructions associated with control of the TAP, and propagating the TAP-related instructions toward the second processor. The second processor is configured for receiving the TAP-related instructions detected by the first processor and processing the TAP-related instructions. The first processor is configured for performing at least one task contemporaneously with processing of the TAP-related instructions by the second processor. An associated method also is provided.

The disclosure relates generally to supporting bonded services at non-anchor nodes. A non-anchor gateway device is configured to support service bonding for a user device and communication with an anchor node of the user device. The non-anchor gateway device is configured to associated a set of user device data plane connections of the user device to form a bonded session for the user device where the set of user device data plane sessions includes a first user device data plane connection associated with a first access network and a second user device data plane connection associated with a second access network. The non-anchor gateway device is configured to map user device traffic of the user device between the user device data plane connections of the bonded session and a user device data plane session between the gateway device and the anchor node for the user device.

The disclosure relates generally to supporting a maximum fill link capability for a bonded session. The maximum fill link capability may be configured to control allocation of user device traffic of a user device across multiple bearers of a bonded data plane session supported for the user device. The maximum fill link capability may be provided at a gateway device associated with the bonded data plane session, which may be a network gateway device for downstream user device traffic or a customer gateway device for upstream user device traffic. The maximum fill link capability may be configured to determine an allocation of the user device traffic of a user device data plane session to multiple bearers of the user device data plane session based on policy information associated with the user device data plane session and based on traffic monitoring performed for the user device traffic of the user device data plane session.
摘要:
A capability is provided for managing resources of a system. The system resources are managed using a hierarchical organization of the system resources. The resources of the system are managed using at least one hierarchical resource pool, where a hierarchical resource pool includes a master resource pool and a plurality of virtual resource pools. The master resource pool includes a logical representation of the resources managed by the hierarchical resource pool. The virtual resource pools include logical representations of respective subsets of the resources managed by the hierarchical resource pool. A method for managing resources of a management system includes receiving, from a borrower, a resource request for one of a plurality of resources of the management system where the resources are managed using a hierarchal resource pool, identifying a virtual resource pool associated with the resource request, and determining whether to serve the resource request from the identified virtual resource pool.
