Abstract:
The protected resource, typically an API, is exposed by endpoints of a plurality of administrative domains. The endpoints are previously unknown by said service application and the method further comprises: i. using an intermediate or global entity for: a) selecting one of said administrative domains based on flexible criteria (i.e. at least on the identity of said end user but also considering varying user or service preferences); and b) performing, said selected administrative domain, a secure authorization to grant access to said end user by means of an open protocol; and ii. providing, said selected administrative domain to said service application, once performed said secure authorization, direct or proxy access to said user's protected resource via the endpoint established by said intermediate entity.
Abstract:
Comprises identifying an end point or content server that can best serve an end user that sent a DNS request to an ISP DNS resolver, given a geographically distributed network of end points. In particular, the method further comprises using the end points themselves and a tracker to identify and notify to the end user the IP addresses of the least-loaded and closest end points that can best serve the content request.
Abstract:
A method to implement a Multiple Input Multiple Output transmission mode In the method of the invention, said MIMO transmission mode comprises using a certain number of antennas in a user equipment and a given number of antennas in a radio access node for the communication between said user equipment and said radio access node, said communication carried out by means of a communication channel, said communication channel represented by a channel matrix. The method of the invention is characterized in that it comprises uncorrelating at least part of the coefficients of said channel matrix when said communication channel is degenerate by making use of at least one additional antenna in each of said radio access node and said user equipment in order to change the radiation pattern associated to transmission layers of said communication enabling the use of an enhanced MIMO transmission mode.
Abstract:
A method and a system for channel state information (CSI) reporting in LTE networks according to the mobility of user equipment. The method includes user equipment (UE) transmitting to an LTE cellular base station (eNodeB), a CSI report containing quality information including CQI, PMI and RI indicators on an uplink radio channel in a periodic manner using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the CSI reporting activated based on a low mobility estimation of the UE and including a first CSI report type containing CSI information in DWT form of the channel impulse responses and average CQI indications for the codewords in use, being some of the DWT coefficients admissible to be discarded for increased compression; and a second CSI report type containing differences in coefficients of the DWT for each channel impulse responses, and differences in the average of CQI values. The system is adapted to implement the method.
Abstract:
A method and radio network entity for scheduling resources comprising: selecting the user for which the scheduling metric calculated based on CQI reports is a main maximum in a certain frequency subband and checking whether there is another subband in which the selected user has a calculated scheduling metric value higher than the main maximum. If so, secondary maxima of scheduling metrics for said user and others in another different subband are searched and compared with the previous calculated maximum. According to the result of this comparison, each user is assigned to at least one frequency subband, up to K subbands which can be adjacent or not depending upon the configuration of the network entity in uplink and downlink (e.g., supporting LTE). Scheduling of both time and frequency resources is optimized and simultaneously the throughput of users in a cell is maximized.
Abstract:
The method comprises a LTE cellular base station reporting radio resources usage information about its resource assignment in a current LTE frame emitted or to be emitted thereby, regarding slot usage for at least the slots of the downlink subframes of the current LTE frame, and generally also regarding the slots of subsequent downlink subframes and of also regarding uplink subframes.The uses of the method are for interference reduction and for energy optimization.
Abstract:
The method comprises acquiring information from signals exchanged between a user's mobile computing devices and a plurality of Base Transceiver Stations, or BTSs, analyzing said acquired information for determining, over a period of time, the locations of said user's mobile computing device and deduce through a statistical model the points of interest, identifying and labelling at least part of said user's mobile computing device determined locations as points of interest.
Abstract:
In the method of the invention said network traffic is monitored by means of descriptive metadata, said descriptive metadata is outputted by a Descriptive Metadata Interface of a Deep Packet Inspection, or DPI, deployment of a network and said descriptive metadata contains verbatim packet fields and accounting information. It is characterised in that it comprises correlating at least part of said descriptive metadata with information included in said descriptive metadata, centralized signatures and external data sources in order to enrich said descriptive metadata.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for optimizing the consumption of telecommunications services in user groups. The method allows analyzing in real time the effectiveness of the multiple attributes of the commercial products associated with telecommunication services offered on a telecommunications network without excess calculations having to be generated, and at the same automatically acting accordingly on those attributes, optimizing the objective functions established by the telecommunications operator in the shortest possible time.
Abstract:
The method comprising measuring by an interfered base station (BS2) the uplink interference and when said uplink interference exceeds a given threshold performing a cancellation process by: discovering and identifying a serving base station (BS1) to which an interfering user device (UE1) is wirelessly connected; requesting to the serving (BS1) the RF fingerprints of the one or more interfering user devices served thereby and using the same frequency resource blocks (RB) of said interfered (BS2); receiving the RF fingerprint of said interfering user device (UE1); consulting said received RF fingerprint in a register; selecting the RF fingerprint more similar to the received one and taking the information of level of interference associated thereto; and using said taken level of interference information for performing said cancelling of said uplink interference.
