Abstract:
This invention provides a system and method for splitting control and media content signals of a cellular network connection of a mobile station. A mobile station engages in a WAP browsing session with a cellular network connection over an air interface. As a user moves into coverage area of an access point, another browsing session is established between the mobile station and a non-cellular network connection. More specifically, the user's WAP browsing session with a cellular network connection is upgraded to a Web browsing session with a non-cellular network connection. The present invention permits a user to control a Web browser on a remote device by providing user input to the mobile station. In particular, a media content portion of the cellular network connection is split and rerouted to the remote device, and a control portion of the cellular network connection is split and rerouted either via the non-cellular network connection or via the cellular network connection.
Abstract:
The present patent disclosure concerns a method of associating a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output, MU-MIMO, capable wireless access node to a wireless network, the wireless network comprising one or more master access nodes with a wired backhaul interface for coupling the master access node and devices connected thereto to a backbone network, the method comprising iteratively connecting the access node to each of the master access nodes having MU-MIMO enabled; obtaining one or more first available data throughputs for respective potential multi-user groups to be served by the master access node for each of the MU-MIMO capable master access nodes having MU-MIMO enabled; obtaining one or more second available data throughputs for respective potential multi-user groups served by the access node when connected to the master access node; and associating the access node to the master access node based on the obtained first and second available data throughputs.
Abstract:
A method system and apparatus for transferring data via more than one communications interface are provided. A data file is transferred, at a processor of a device, and via at least one communications network, on a first communications interface (124-1) of the device and a second communications interface (124-2) of the device, the second communications interface (124-2) different from the first communications interface (124-1).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for controlling a terminal system connected to a communication network and comprising multiple network access devices, NADs, and a computer system, the method comprising the steps of reading information on associations between the NADs and media and applications to be run on the computer system and/or the NADs; and based on the read information controlling the access of a) at least one of the NADs to a media and/or b) at least one of the applications to a media and/or c) at least one of the applications to at least one of the NADs; and wherein the information comprises provider rules for associations between providers and NADs for providers providing services via the communication network and/ or constraints on associations between NADs and applications.
Abstract:
The present teachings relate to a method implemented by a mobile device having a first radio and a second radio, the method comprising using the first radio in a connection to download first rules and policies, and, subsequently, when no connection of sufficient quality and speed is available via the first radio, using the second radio to perform a scan of an environment to identify access points, making an initial decision to establish a connection with an identified access point based on the first rules and policies, establishing the connection with the identified access point using the second radio, connecting to a server over the connection with the identified access point using the second radio, and revisiting the initial decision to establish the connection with the identified access point based on second rules and policies stored on the server.
Abstract:
In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a computing device and from an application installed on the computing device, a request to establish a network connection to transmit and receive data over a network, wherein the request includes information that indicates one or more parameters identified by the application for the requested network connection and data transmission. The method can further include delaying, by the computing device, establishing the requested network connection until i) an available network connection is identified that satisfies the one or more parameters provided as part of the request, or ii) a time period specified for the request has expired. The method can additionally include, in response to identifying an available network that satisfies the one or more parameters before the time period has expired, establishing the requested network connection for the application using the identified available network.
Abstract:
Provided is a technique related to a terminal apparatus, a base station apparatus, a communication system, a communication method, and an integrated circuit that are capable of efficiently performing device-to-device communication. In a case where a terminal apparatus capable of direct communication between terminal apparatuses starts a timer corresponding to a group index that identifies short-range group communication, to which the terminal apparatus belongs, and the timer expires, switching is performed from a first radio resource allocation method, by which a radio resource to be used for the direct communication is requested to a base station apparatus, to a second radio resource allocation method by which the terminal apparatus selects a radio resource to be used for the direct communication.
Abstract:
A method, device, and computer-readable storage element enables a multi-mode device to establish a session through multiple networks in a communication system. The method includes registering, at the same time, each of a plurality of sub-clients of a single multi-mode device with a single application server, wherein each sub-client is separately registered through a different network, using an individual logical identity. The method further includes detecting an invitation including session parameters to establish a session using the single application server, and selecting at least one of the sub-clients to process the invitation based on the session parameters to establish the session through the networks corresponding to the selected sub-client.
Abstract:
Provided is a method (500) for load balancing (400) in a mesh network (208). The method (500) includes receiving (504) a signal from a first gateway device of the mesh network (208) and determining (506), responsive to the signal, whether a condition for connecting to the gateway device is satisfied. The method also includes initiating (508) a first connection with the first gateway device (504) when the condition is satisfied. A second connection is initiated (516) between the node (110, 408, 410, 412, 414, 416) and a second gateway device (i) when the condition is not satisfied and (ii) when the first gateway device (504) is at full capacity.
Abstract:
An example avionic data communication method includes establishing a plurality of available channels using a channel controller. The channel controller also establishes a quality of service for each of the plurality of available channels. The channel controller then selects one of the available channels. The quality of service of the selected channel is not less than the quality of service of another channel within the plurality of available channels. The method then communicates a type of data using the selected channel.
