    摘要: A method for determining the mobility status of a user of a wireless communication network includes retrieving, from the wireless communication network, an indication about interactions between a user equipment associated with that user and the wireless communication network, and, for each interaction, determining a served area of the wireless communication network pertaining to that user equipment at the occurrence of that interaction, and determining the mobility status of that user at the occurrence of that interaction according to a comparison between a distance between the served area and a first further served area of the wireless communication network pertaining to that user equipment, and a first threshold distance; or a comparison between a distance between the served area and a second further served area of the wireless communication network pertaining to that user equipment, and a second threshold distance.

    摘要: A method (200; 600) of balancing a traffic load among at least apart of traffic managing entities (105;110) of a mobile telecommunication network (100) comprising a plurality of traffic managing entities (105;110) is proposed. The method comprises the following steps: collecting (205; 605) traffic-related data referred to said at least a part of traffic managing entities (105;110); identifying (220; 620) a first set of traffic managing entities (105;110) managing an excessive traffic load on the basis of such traffic-related data; identifying (220; 620) a second set of traffic managing entities (105;110) adapted to take charge of at least part of the excessive traffic load to which traffic managing entities (105;110) of first set of traffic managing entities (105;110) are subjected. Moreover, for each traffic managing entity (105;110) of the first set of traffic managing entities (105;110) the method comprises: determining (235-240; 630) at least one traffic managing entity (105;110) of the second set of traffic managing entities (105;110) adapted to take charge of at least part of the excessive traffic load managed by said traffic managing entity (105;110) of the first set of traffic managing entities (105;110); assigning (245; 635) at least part of the excessive traffic load to which said traffic managing entity (105;110) of first set of traffic managing entities (105; 10) is subjected to the determined at least one least one traffic managing entity (105;110) of the second set of traffic managing entities (105;110), and adjusting (245; 635) radio communication parameters of said traffic managing entity (105;110) of the first set of traffic managing entities (105; 10) and of said determined at least one traffic managing entity (105;110) of the second set of 20 traffic managing entities (105;110) thereby redistributing traffic load on the basis of such assigning.

    摘要: A radio access network node of a telecommunication network and method, the node including: a system of radiating antennas radiating radio signals through a geographic territory, and a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to: obtain or generate a topographic map of the geographic territory; based on the topographic map, calculate a coverage map of radio coverage of the geographic territory by the radiated radio signals; based on the coverage map, shrink the topographic map to obtain a reduced-size topographic map; based on the calculated coverage map, create a first data structure including plural first data structure records, one for each point of the calculated coverage map, each first data structure records providing a description of a service delivery capability of the node in that point, and exploit the first data structure to decide how to serve user equipment located in the territory corresponding to the reduced-size topographic map.

    摘要: It is disclosed a method for performing a performance measurement on a packet flow transmitted along a path through a packet switched communication network. Two or more measurement points are implemented on the path. Each measurement point calculates a sampling signature for each received packet by applying a hash function to a mask of bits of the packet. Then, it selects a number of measurement samples amongst the received packets, the measurement samples being selected as those packets whose sampling signatures comprise a portion of length S equal to a predefined sampling value. While performing the selection, the measurement point counts the number of selected measurement samples and retroactively adjusts the length based on this number. Then, the measurement point provides measurement parameters relating to the selected measurement samples.

    摘要: A method for estimating a signal to interference and noise ratio of a communication link between a first node and a second node of a wireless communication network, the network comprising a number of further communication links between said first node and a number of further nodes. The method comprises, at the first node, providing first estimates of useful signal powers on all the links; providing second estimates of the signal powers on the link and on the further communication links on the basis of, jointly, the first estimate of the signal power on the link and the first estimates of the signal powers on the further links; estimating the signal to interference and noise ratio as a ratio between the second estimate of the signal power on the link and a power term comprising a sum of the second estimates of the signal powers on the further links.

    摘要: A method for controlling a bandwidth over a communication link connecting first and second client network elements. The first element is configured to send to the second element data traffic including at least a best effort traffic flow of packets. The method includes: at the first element, marking a number of best effort packets with a control code, the control code taking values within a predetermined ordered control sequence of values, and sending the marked packets to the second element through the link; at the second element, checking the control code of each marked best effort packet and, in case of detection of a missing value of the control code, sending to the first element a packet containing a feedback code indicative of an adjustment of the bandwidth; and, at the first element, upon reception of the feedback code, adjusting the bandwidth.

    摘要: A system for supporting a user in the selection of food includes a processing module that determines a diet pattern of the user. The diet pattern includes nutritional information related to a number of macronutrients or micronutrients or bioactive compounds into which food may be decomposed and corresponding values of daily intakes. The diet pattern includes a number of food rules, each food rule including at least one food category and, for each food category, a respective frequency of intake and a respective reference quantity of intake. The system receives from the user information indicating a target food, and computes a compliance score of the target food with the diet pattern and notifying the user of the compliance score.
