摘要:
An authorization scheme controls whether an interface is established between communication nodes. Such a scheme may be used, for example, to determine whether to establish a direct interface (e.g., an X2 interface) between a pair of access points. A decision to establish a direct interface between nodes may be based on a node type of one or both of the nodes. A decision to establish a direct interface between nodes may be based on whether the nodes belong to the same group.

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses for use in providing positioning assistance data with local mapping data to mobile stations. For example, positioning assistance data may comprise and/or otherwise be based, at least in part, on local mapping data which may relate to a current location of the mobile station. Such positioning assistance data may, for example, be provided to a mobile station by a first server within a cellular network.

A mobile device sends information during a charging event to mitigate potential adverse effects that may occur if the information is sent at other times. For example, after obtaining information, the mobile device may determine whether the information is time-critical. If the information is not time-critical, the mobile device may store the information. Then, once the mobile device determines that a charging event is occurring, the mobile device sends the stored information.

Systems and methods are described that facilitate the determination and request of resources a node may wish to reserve. The resources include a plurality of carriers that are shared with other nodes. In an approach, the node determines a condition related to the plurality of carriers; creates an ordering of the plurality of resources; and transmits a resource utilization message (RUM) for one or more of the plurality of resources based on the ordering and the condition.

Methods and systems for fine grain bandwidth allocation are disclosed. According to one method, input is received from a user in a standard bandwidth denomination indicating bandwidth to be provided by a switched network element. The bandwidth is automatically converted into a base bandwidth value and a residual bandwidth value. The base bandwidth value is converted to a number of tokens to be placed in a token bucket every predetermined token bucket refresh interval. The residual bandwidth value is converted into a second number of tokens and a number of predetermined token bucket refresh intervals over which the second number of tokens is to be placed in the token buckets. The token buckets are then refreshed in accordance with the base and residual bandwidth values and the token bucket refresh intervals. The queue is serviced in accordance with available tokens in the token buckets.

Contention for a resource in a multi-resource system is resolved by separately resolving contention for each resource. In some cases where two or more entities contending for a resource are associated with equal priorities, lexicographic ordering is used to resolve contention between these entities. In some cases where two or more entities contending for a resource are associated with equal priorities, a random probability-based scheme is used to resolve contention between these entities. Also, different types of schemes may be used to resolve contention for different resources.

In accordance with the invention, a system and method for providing QoS to packets formatted in accordance with one protocol (e.g., IP or Ethernet) carried over networks that are originally designed to be used with another protocol (e.g., ATM, WDM, or TDM). In one embodiment of the invention, such a switch is modified in order to allow the switch to become “IP-aware.” Such a modified switch can identify IP packets, determine if any packets should be dropped, classify the packets with a queue, and schedule the packets of each queue in a manner that provides quality of service to the packets in the queue. Moreover, some embodiments of a modified switch further include a monitor to keep statistics on the packets in the modified switch, a protection mechanism that monitors fault information for at least part of the network, and a provisioning mechanism that determines normal and backup paths for each connection.
摘要:
Various methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture may be implemented for use in one or more computing platforms to adaptively provide and/or obtain indoor navigation assistance data (INAD) update(s) for use by a mobile device. An INAD update may, for example, comprise a subset of INAD available for an indoor environment. Such a subset may be determined based, at least in part, on a bounded region in an electronic map of the indoor environment. Such a bounded region may, for example, have a shape and/or a size based, at least in part, on at least one parameter indicative of a motion state of the mobile device.

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, computer readable media and other implementations, including a method for communicating network information. The method includes transmitting a request message from a mobile device to an access point, and receiving, at the mobile device, a reply message transmitted from the access point in response to receiving the request message, the reply message including data representative of a transmitted signal power level at the access point of the reply message. The method further includes determining, based on the received reply message including the data representative of the transmitted signal power level at the access point, a received signal power level at the mobile device of the reply message, and a round trip time from a first time instance when the request message was transmitted from the mobile device to a second time instance when the reply message was received at the mobile device.
