Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a system for a group session service in a software defined network, and relates to the field of the wireless communication and particularly to a group session service. By separating service control signaling from service data, the demands for a Push to talk over cellular (PoC) server is low and little change is made on a service flow, no extra demands for a user is needed, the control logic of the group call service is simplified, the load of the PoC server is reduced, and the delay of a multiple-party session is remarkably reduced, thereby effectively improving the QoE of the user.
Abstract:
A method comprises: a first device obtains, by receiving first signaling, a type and/or a granularity of a computing power capability that needs to be reported, so that a control plane in a network may subsequently perform dynamic computing power scheduling and adjust a computing power scheduling policy, based on the computing power capability reported by the first device, to improve efficiency of sensing the computing power capability by the network and efficiency of configuring computing power.
Abstract:
A communication method includes receiving, by a core network functional entity, request information of a perception task from a task trigger source. The request information includes first area range information. The first area range information indicates to execute the perception task within a first area range. The communication method also includes sending, by the core network functional entity, first configuration information of the perception task to an access network device. The first configuration information includes an identifier of a communication device and second area range information. The second area range information indicates to execute the perception task within a second area range. The second area range is a subset of the first area range.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a mobile device configured to receive from a network a notification of a predicted change of a Quality-of-Service, QoS related to a local end-to-end data communication path; and configured to provide a report to the network, the report comprising at least one of the following information: location information, application layer information, mobile device status information, experienced QoS at mobile device side, radio channel conditions. The disclosure further relates to a network device configured to transceive communication data via a communication path, in particular a local end-to-end data communication path between a mobile device and another mobile device, based on a Quality-of-Service, QoS, requirement for the communication path; and configured to notify the mobile device about a predicted change of the QoS related to the communication path.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a slice monitor for monitoring slices programmed by a slice owner and deployed by an orchestrator in the control and data planes of a communication network. The slice monitor comprises multiple databases containing different types of information, selects the probes to monitor each slice in the control plane or the data plane and instantiates the selected probes as well as a single-slice monitoring device specific to each slice. For optimization, the slice monitor configures the content of its databases by communicating through multiple interfaces with different actors such as the slice owner, the owner of the orchestrator and the owner of itself. Using alarm handlers and a reconfiguration engine, the slice monitor together with the single-slice monitoring device can detect and compensate for possible violations in the service-level agreement by reconfiguring the slice. If the compensation fails, the slice monitor requests the orchestrator for reconfiguration.
Abstract:
A device is provided for operating in a communication system that comprises a plurality of individual networks. The device comprises one or more subscriber modules for assisting the device to attach to a network. The number of those one or more subscriber modules is fewer than the number of the plurality of networks. The device being configured to initiate a pre-attach procedure to attach itself to all of the plurality of networks before it establishes a connection with one of those networks. It is also configured to connect to one of the plurality of networks for communicating data with that network while remaining attached to the others of the plurality of networks. The advantage of a device that pre-attaches to more than one network is that it significantly reduces the time needed for the device to switch later from being connected to one network to another network.
Abstract:
A communications system comprising a core network, a radio access network and at least one user equipment device, wherein: the core network is configured for communicating with the user equipment device to form a first estimate of the location of the user equipment device; the radio access network is configured for communicating with the user equipment device to form a second estimate of the location of the user equipment device; and the core network is configured for forming a third estimate of the location of the user equipment device by synthesizing the first and second estimates.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a resource allocation method and system on a Software Defined Protocol SDP network. The method includes: receiving, by a resource allocator, a resource request message sent by a protocol stack deployment node, where the resource request message carries information about a protocol stack deployed on the protocol stack deployment node; determining, by the resource allocator, information about an available resource on an SDP network, where the available resource is used for resource allocation of the protocol stack; determining, by the resource allocator according to the information about the protocol stack and the information about the available resource, a resource allocated to each protocol layer in the protocol stack; and sending, by the resource allocator, a resource feedback message to the protocol stack deployment node, where the resource feedback message carries the information about the resource allocated to each protocol layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a protocol stack adaptation method and apparatus, where a network transmission optimization technology can be deployed in a wireless network, thereby optimizing a wireless transmission network. The method includes acquiring a first wireless transmission protocol packet, and detecting, by using a first preset detection rule, whether the first wireless transmission protocol packet carries user data. If the first wireless transmission protocol packet carries user data, the method includes adapting the first wireless transmission protocol packet to a corresponding first standard Internet Protocol (IP) data packet; sending the first standard IP data packet to a network transmission optimization (NTO) device; receiving a second standard IP data packet sent by the NTO device; and, adapting the second standard IP data packet to a corresponding second wireless transmission protocol packet.
