摘要:
A method and system for soft handoff of a mobile terminal in a wireless CDMA IP network utilizes IP multicasting to a plurality of multicast participants that reside at the mobile terminal. A soft handoff multicast protocol is used to assign a unique IP multicasting address to the mobile terminal and establish a plurality of multicast participants that reside at the mobile terminal, thereby creating corresponding multicast network connections between the IP network and the mobile terminal. The IP network simultaneously transmits information to the mobile terminal via the multicast network connections by broadcasting the information as a multicast message to the mobile terminal's multicast group. The multicast extends between a mobile terminal and a plurality of a base station associated with the network to simultaneously communicate information over separate communication channels.
摘要:
A multicast address method for facilitating communication between nodes in “all IP” architectures that support CDMA soft handoff via IP multicasting wherein a multicast DHCP server allocates IP multicast addresses to mobile terminals from administratively scoped IP multicast addresses. IP multicast addresses are allocated to mobile terminals by offering, assigning, and distributing IP multicast addresses to the mobile terminals in response to IP multicast address requests from the mobile terminals to the multicast DHCP servers, which use unique mobile terminal identifiers to correlate mobile terminals with their prior and current IP multicast addresses. A multicast agent generates unicast IP address tables that map each of the unicast IP addresses, and edge routers use the unicast IP address tables to replace unicast IP addresses with their corresponding IP multicast address.
摘要:
A system and method for aggregating and fragmenting packets is described. Data packets containing voice data and other data that suffer significantly in quality when delayed may be aggregated together and fragmented. The aggregation and fragmentation permits networks to push these time-sensitive packets more easily through a network based on priority given to fragmented data.

The preferred embodiments provide a system and/or method that exploits the presence of multiple interfaces to provide high quality video streaming (or real time streaming). The proposed solution includes three specific strategies 1) receiver buffer management, 2) selective re-transmission of packets and 3) dynamic load balancing across interfaces to achieve high quality video streaming across multiple interfaces.

A network element or server that manages name, address and identifying information of network devices that contain at least one Bluetooth interface is described. A Bluetooth Device Address may be queried by a first network device of a second network device to the server and the server may provide additional name, address and identifying information on the queried second network device to the first network device such that the first network device may establish a preferred connection with the second network device.

A system and method for improving quality of experience (QoE) of using a mobile device can comprise utilization of stored information relating to RANs of service providers and QoE ratings, receiving an event related to the RANs or to mobile Web browsing actions, receiving requests for QoE metrics based on the event, parsing and interpreting results of the QoE metrics; preparing and beginning an emulation session of the RANs, choosing a presentation style, rendering QoE in accordance with the browser actions and the presentation style which can be purely quantitative comparison, pre-recorded session, limited interaction-emulated session, live interactive session and live automatically controlled non-interactive session, and enabling user input according to the presentation style. The method can comprise standardizing information to allow comparison of the information, rendering network-related information on a display and updating the presentation of the network-related information to maintain a fair representation of the RANs being emulated.
摘要:
A terminal device includes multiple interfaces having links to various networks. When a trigger event occurs, the terminal device selects a target link to a network to transition from its current link. A candidate link selection function determines candidate links that are filtered to remove links not meeting connectivity criteria. A target link selection function is then executed to select a target link from the filtered candidate links. Thus, the target link selection function is not run for every possible link, but only those meeting the criteria.

摘要:
Data packets are transmitted from a first access network to a first interface of a multiple interface device (MID), and identical data packets are transmitted concurrently from a second access network to a second interface of the MID. Some of the data packets that are transmitted to the MID from the first access network are not received by the first interface. The MID inspects identifiers of data packets from the first and second interfaces in order to send to the application a stream including all of the data packets. For example, the MID sends to the application the data packets from the first interface, buffers the data packets from the second interface, and sends data packets from the buffer to the application upon detecting that data packets in the buffer were transmitted to the first interface but not received by the first interface.
