    摘要: Method for multicasting messages to users of a wireless communication system includes the steps of establishing a power ratio threshold for transmitting the messages, measuring respective power ratios of the users, comparing the established power ratio threshold to the measured power ratios, determining a first subset of the users and a second subset of the users based upon the measured power ratios and delivering the messages to the first subset of the plurality of users via a first transmission scheme. The first transmission scheme delivers the messages to all of the users of the first subset via a broadcast channel. The method also has a step of delivering the messages to the second subset of the users via a second transmission scheme. The second transmission scheme delivers the messages to each of the users of the second subset via respective dedicated channels.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, system, and computer software for compressing and decompressing a message for transmission. The method of compressing a text message for transmission may include parsing text strings and encoding numerical values with a binary representation and analyzing values of the text strings and populating a session specific codebook with partial strings from the values. The method of compressing a message for transmission may also include parsing the message with a template and generating at least one substring to be transmitted; parsing the at least one substring with entries in a session specific codebook and generating a first part of the compressed message; populating the session specific codebook with entries for unknown field values; parsing any unmatched substrings with entries from a first static dictionary and generating a second part of the compressed message; parsing any still unmatched substrings with entries from a second static dictionary and generating a third part of the compressed message; compressing a remainder of the substrings with a compression algorithm; and combining the first part, the second part, and the third part of the compressed message to obtain a compressed message for transmission.

    摘要: Apparatus for transferring packet data incorporates a “hand-off” feature that allows the transfer of an existing PPP connection from one packet server to another packet server. Such a hand-off control message or call continue transaction can be initiated by any of the servers involved in the transactions. For instance, assume an initial arrangement where a point-to-point call is set up and in progress between a user and a private network via a first packet server (e.g., a first Serving LAC) and a second packet server (e.g., an Anchor LAC). If, for example, the user moves out of the region served by the first packet server into a region served by a third packet server (e.g., a second Serving LAC), then a hand-off control message transaction, according to the invention, is initiated. Either the second Serving LAC or the Anchor LAC may initiate the call continue transaction. Alternatively, radius servers respectively associated with the packet servers may be employed to perform the call continue transaction. Furthermore, assuming that a communication path is not yet established between the second packet server (e.g., Anchor LAC) and the third packet server (e.g., the second Serving LAC), a communication path (e.g., tunnel) set-up control message transaction may be performed concurrent with the call continue transaction. Still further, at least one packet server (e.g., the Anchor LAC) monitors state variables associated with the packet servers (e.g., the second Serving LAC and the private network) from which it receives packet data.

    摘要: The power level for uplink data transmission in a wireless communications network utilizing an on-demand multiple access method with a fair queuing service discipline (ODMAFQ) for efficient utilization of the limited bandwidth available in the wireless network is established curing the initial access request message. The power level in a wireless network having a base station and several remote hosts is established by first transmitting a short connection request message to the base station from one of the remote hosts at an initial power level that is set relative to the nominal open loop power level. If the first remote host's transmission is unsuccessful, the power level is incremented by a power increment amount that may be predetermined, and the steps of transmitting and incrementing are repeated until the transmission from remote host to base station is successful. Finally, the power level at which transmission is successful is stored and used for further data transmission between that particular remote host and the wireless network base station.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for routing messages in a network includes first filters to provide frequency-based message signals converted from an optically-based signal and mixers adapted to mix the frequency-based message signals with sub-carriers to generate frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. A frequency generator connected to the mixers provides the sub-carriers to the mixers and a combiner connected to the mixers combines the frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. Second filters connected to the combiner receive and group the frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. Optical transmitters connected to second filters optically convert and transmit the frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. The frequency generator generates and applies a particular sub-carrier frequency to one of the mixers according to information contained in the frequency-based message signal. The information is encoded into the frequency-based message signal via a generalized MPLS (GMPLS) label contained in a header portion of the frequency-based message signal.

    摘要: An advance over the prior art is achieved through an efficient method for the dynamic selection of frequencies with low occupancy in a manner that results in minimizing the search for such frequencies and the risk of a large of number of nodes choosing the same frequency. A method for dynamically selecting the frequencies according to the invention includes the following parts. A channel loading indicator that determines if the mobile node needs to look for a new channel. A channel search algorithm that quickly determines the new channel to be used. A tracking algorithm that remembers the channels that were most recently determined to be loaded and hence should be avoided in the near future. In one embodiment of the invention a method of selecting frequencies for use by a device in a wireless communications network is presented. The method includes the steps of monitoring channel usage of given frequencies to determine loaded channels based on whether an associated channel usage threshold has been reached and, if the channel usage threshold has been reached, determining whether to switch from a loaded channel to another channel based on a probability function.

    摘要: The present invention sets forth a methodology for providing improved downlink backhaul services from a radio network controller (RNC) to a plurality of base stations via a backhaul network that provides Ethernet services. The Ethernet services are provided by a group of provider edge (PE) switches and regular label switch routers (referred to as P switches). Base stations within the network are assigned into clusters, each of the clusters having a cluster ID. The RNC transmits packets to a given switch or switches out on the network based on a cluster ID included within the transmitted packet. The communications traffic is then multicast from at least one last hop switch in the network to candidate base stations on the basis of the cluster ID and an active set within the cluster. Advantageously, the clusters act as subgroups for more easily directing the transmission of the backhaul multicast traffic. Significant advantages are realized through use of the present invention, including the ability to allow faster and smoother handoffs, as well as backhaul bandwidth savings since intelligence regarding cell switching is extended out at a point farther along the network than was previously enabled.
