摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a cellular radio network device (3) for controlling the admission of user (4, 6) to a cellular radio network (1). In order to determine how much traffic is allowed in a cell (2), threshold values are autotuned using quality measurements gathered during high load on a link. Thus, the network capacity is in increased while fulfilling desired quality requirements.

A method for managing data transmission comprising making a bandwidth on a network resource available to at least one requester for transmitting or receiving data according to a first request of a first type, the first type have a prescribed quality of service guarantee; transmitting first data in accordance with the first type to or from the at least one requestor on the network resource using a first portion of the bandwidth, if the first data are available to be transferred to or from the at least one requestor; transmitting second data according to a second request of a second type on the network resource to or from the at least one requestor or a second requester, the second data transmitted without a quality of service guarantee using a second portion of the bandwidth, if the first portion of the prescribed bandwidth is less than the entire bandwidth.

An apparatus for providing Quality of Service (QoS) and resource management in a network edge device of a core communication network is disclosed. The apparatus has scalable modular hardware/software architecture and adapted for receiving detachable functional units. Each functional unit may contain at least one module performing one or more pre-selected QoS and resource management functions in the network edge device.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates dynamic allocation of upstream bandwidth in a passive optical network which includes a central node and at least one remote node. Each remote node is coupled to at least one logical entity, which corresponds to a device or a user, that transmits upstream data to the central node and receives downstream data from the central node. The central node is coupled to an external network outside of the passive optical network through a shared out-going uplink.

A network controller or base station (502), allocates resources and indicates a minimum priority level below which, mobile stations may not transmit data via messaging (503). Messaging (503) may be a scheduling message in some embodiments. The network controller or base station (502) also communicates a data timer setting for timing sub-minimum priority data via messaging (505). Messaging (505) may be a control message in some embodiments. The mobile station (501) responds by setting a data timer (507) and holding data with a priority below the specified minimum. Before the timer times out, the mobile station (501) may transmit data on granted resources via (509) provided its priority level is above the specified minimum. After timer expiration, the mobile station (501) may transmit its low priority data, or combinations of high and low priority data (511).
摘要:
A telecommunication system includes a base station, a router allocated to the base station, and several subscriber stations that are connected to the base station via an access network. Subscriber station routers set up a telecommunication link with the base station router. The base station router controls the variable transfer rates that are allocated to a telecommunication link between the base station and the subscriber station. The access network is only loaded with the transfer bandwidth that is actually required for data transmission.

Hybrid fiber/coax networks employ the existing cable plant used for cable TV and transmit data signals in a frequency bandwidth above that which is used for cable TV. As this cable plant was deployed in a tree and branch topology, data transmissions may be susceptible to noise, variable transmission loss and frequency dispersion, particularly in the upstream direction. Further, due to the tree and branch topology, homes at the far end of the network experience much greater loss than do the homes that are near to the headend/ONU. The present system, which uses point-to-point data links between intelligent network elements located in the feeder/distribution network to provide reliable, secure, bi-directional broadband access. Digital signals, or messages, are terminated at the intelligent network elements, switched and regenerated for transmission across additional upstream or downstream data links as needed to connect a home to a headend or router. Messages indicative of an end user routing ID (RID) are identified and the information extracted for user with successive messages. In this manner, the data links are made over relatively short runs of coax cable, which can provide greater bandwidth than the typical end-to-end feeder/distribution connection between a home and the headend or optical network unit.
摘要:
A supervisory communications node monitors and controls communications with a plurality of remote devices throughout a widely distributed network. A method, system, and computer program product are provided to convey and maintain information used to synchronize the packetization and burst operations within the network. During session setup, jitter constraints indirectly are used to explicitly communicate a synchronization timing reference. The timing reference is set at the beginning of a phase/period boundary used to service the session. In an embodiment, the announcement of the first grant is used as an explicit indication of the synchronization timing reference value. In another embodiment, the synchronization timing reference value is inferred if a remote device receives contiguous voice grants meeting certain conditions. In an embodiment implementing periodic scheduling, the actual arrival of the first grant is used to infer the synchronization timing reference value. In an embodiment, the present invention enables the synchronization timing reference value and/or the periodicity to be modified if network conditions indicate that packetization and burst operations are out-of-synchronization.
摘要:
A method signals data in a channel of a network including multiple stations and an access point connected by a wireless channel. A station first requests access to the channel using a sequential coordinated channel access method of an access point. After the station receives permission to access the channel during a contention free period at a time corresponding to a sequence index value received by the station from the access point, the station transmits a resource request message to the access point to obtain a bandwidth allocation. In response, the station receives the bandwidth allocation, and the station can then transmit data during the contention free period according to the bandwidth allocation.
摘要:
A method and system for combining the bandwidth available to a user communications device from multiple access points by switching output requests and corresponding replies to such requests among a plurality of such access points. In the simplest implementation the switching can be on a round-robin basis, but the switching can be enhanced to prioritize and use quality of service requirements associated with each output request, and also to measure congestion at each access point and base switching upon the congestion level. The invention operates by generating subset ISO communication stacks for each available access point, preferably the subset from the IP layer to the data control link, and switching between these stacks.
