Abstract:
A method to provide robustness against noise and interference in wireless communications, a transmitter and computer program products, involving sending to a receiver (13), through a wireless channel (12), information using a constant-envelope waveform with complex baseband representation of the form s[n]=Ac exp{jϕ[n]}. The phase ϕ[n] following the expression ( ϕ [ n ] - ϕ [ n - 1 ] ) = 2 π m · ∑ k = k 0 + 1 k 0 + N a , F M + - 1 x [ k ] exp ( j 2 π kn N ) , and the wireless channel has an Additive White Gaussian Noise component and flat-fading conditions, wherein the transmitter (110) calculates a FFT length, N, and a number of active positive subcarriers, Na,FM+, needed in order to have a given improvement in the signal to noise ratio at the active positive subcarriers of the instantaneous frequency spectrum containing the information; calculates a cutoff subcarrier k0 needed to overcome Doppler, phase noise and carrier frequency offset impairments at the receiver side, and generates a complex baseband signal waveform of the form s[n]=Ac exp{jϕ[n]} carrying information with the FFT length, number of active positive subcarriers and cutoff subcarrier.
Abstract:
A system, method and device for error detection/estimation in OFDM communications systems is proposed. The disclosed mechanism allows an efficient error prediction in a received data block (e.g. a packet) without using error detection codes that may impair spectral efficiency (due to the overhead) especially when very small size packets are used. In order to do that, it generates a decision variable with the aim to check whether a received block has errors or not, without resorting to the use of error-detection codes.

Abstract:
Comprises identifying an end point or content server that can best serve an end user that sent a DNS request to an ISP DNS resolver, given a geographically distributed network of end points. In particular, the method further comprises using the end points themselves and a tracker to identify and notify to the end user the IP addresses of the least-loaded and closest end points that can best serve the content request.
Abstract:
The method comprises identifying and classifying, by a classification unit (102), received data packets flows between fixed bit rate data packets flows (FB) and variable bit rate data packets flows (VB); sending the identified and classified fixed bit rate data packets flows (FB) to a pacer unit (103) spacing the transmission of the fixed bit rate data packets flows (FB) towards an egress port of the transport node (100); and sending the configuration parameters relating to the variable bit rate data packets flows (VB) to a virtual queue unit (104), said virtual queue unit (104) including a processor running an algorithm to activate one or more congestion correction procedures, wherein in case the result obtained by said algorithm being over, or equal, at least one threshold activating a corresponding congestion correction procedure.

The method also, retrieving by a Proxy Serving Gateway (Proxy S-GW) located in said non-3GPP node, said backhaul load information from said non-3GPP node of said plurality of eNodeB; then, communicating said Proxy S-GW with a Service Gateway (S-GW) pertaining to a 3GPP network by means of a standard S1 interface; and finally sending to said S-GW said backhaul load information through said standard S1 interface in order to assign radio resources to said plurality of eNodeB.The system is adapted for implementing the method of the invention.
Abstract:
The method comprises: a user equipment measuring its proximity to one or more cells, or radio access nodes, by detecting the signal emission power thereof, and recognizing some cells as distinctive cells which radio section can be switched off when no user equipment is camping in it; determining that at least one of said cells is candidate for cell reselection or handover as a function of said signal emission power, and, if the cell is a distinctive cell, directly determining it as a candidate cell even if its signal emission power is not detected; and performing the cell reselection or handover between the user equipment and the candidate cell.
Abstract:
The method updating the status of a network by means of a protocol of the control plane of said network and in response to a path request from at least a path computation client (PCC) pre-reserving during a reserved period of time (Tres), by at least one path computation element (PCE), a plurality of network resources in at least one traffic engineering database (TED) of the at least one PCE. The method dynamically modifying by a timer policy said reserved period of time (Tres) by at least using information data regarding the delay of said control plane.The system of the invention is adapted to implement the method of the invention.
Abstract:
A distributed health-check method for web caching in a telecommunication network, wherein a plurality of web caching nodes are coordinated to monitor a set of origin servers where web content is generated. The method includes associating to each user of the telecommunication network requesting the web content buckets as logical containers for holding the web content requested; generating a list of users of the telecommunication network requesting the web content; and performing the plurality of web caching nodes a number of health-checks to the set of origin servers to download the requested web content. A filtering of the set of origin servers is performed for grouping in different areas of interest and the number of health-checks are performed by a limited number of caching nodes receiving the web content requests. The limited number of caching nodes selected belonging to a specific area of interest of the set of origin servers monitoring them.
