摘要:
The present invention provides a method for route and resource allocation. One embodiment of the method includes determining at least one network variable associated with a network that includes a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of links. The network variable(s) are determined based on a plurality of basic loads associated with the plurality of links and a plurality of data rates associated with the plurality of links. The method also includes determining at least one communication variable based on the determined network variable(s) and allocating at least one resource for communication over the network based on the determined network variable(s) and the determined communication variable(s).

The invention concerns a method of performing an intra-segment handover (HO) of a mobile station (MS) from a source access point (AP1) of a tree-structured segment (S1) of an Ethernet-compliant telecommunication network to a target access point (AP2) of said segment (S1), as well as a switch (SW-123) to support the execution of this method. After establishing contact between the mobile station (MS) and the target access point (AP2), the mobile station (MS) sends an update entry request addressed to the segment gateway switch (GW). The update entry request is received by a switch (SW-123) positioned in the tree structure of the segment (S1) hierarchically above the source and target access points (AP1, AP2) and below the segment gateway switch (GW). The switch (SW-123) checks whether its forwarding database contains a first entry comprising an address of the mobile station (MS) received by means of the update entry request. If the forwarding database of the switch (SW-123) contains the first entry, the switch (SW-123) squelches said update entry request and assumes the function of an anchor switch regarding the handover (HO), whereby the anchor switch is a switch of the segment (S1) which is positioned in the tree structure of the segment (S1) hierarchically above the source and target access points (AP1, AP2) and below the segment gateway switch (GW) and which is common to the ongoing session before and after the handover (HO).

A method and an apparatus is provided for allocating channels in a multi-user environment for transmitting real-time data traffic in a wireless packet data network. The method includes determining an a priori data rate per channel for each of a plurality of mobile stations based on channel state information associated with a plurality of frequency channels associated with the plurality of mobile stations and a preliminary assumption of a uniform power distribution among the plurality of frequency channels at a transmitter. The method also includes allocating a unique frequency channel from said plurality of frequency channels to at least one of the plurality of mobile stations based on said a priori data rate per channel for each of the plurality of mobile stations.

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for performing resource management of one or more Internet Protocol based resources to route a plurality of packets. To ensure a relatively high end-to-end service quality, the method and apparatus defines one or more user-service specific metrics being utilized by Internet Protocol (IP) mechanisms on a network layer to provide an IP-based resource management in a next generation network. A wireless router may provide wireless radio access using a resource management that captures one or more properties of at least one network link and at least one wireless link as metrics that may be used by IP mechanisms. Based on metric related distributed information, each router including a wireless router and an IP router may determine whether or not to forward a packet on an associated wireless link or a network link. By not differentiating between a wireless link and a network link, the wireless and IP routers may enable routing of the plurality of packets through a converged network.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for transmitting—from all cells belonging to a cluster (e.g., for Joint Processing/Transmission (JP/T) Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP), also referred to as network MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output))—reference signals (RSs) for channel state information (CSI) feedback to user equipment (UE) at the same time and frequency resources. In this manner, data is precluded from interfering with the CSI feedback scheme. Consequently, data need not be determined to reliably estimate the channel(s).

摘要:
Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided to improve the efficiency of resource allocation in wireless communication networks. In one provided embodiment, a wireless communication device determines a received signal strength of each of a number of signals received from a number of transmission sectors, provides first channel information for first signals including a signal having a highest received signal strength and signals having a received signal strength above a specified level relative to the highest received signal strength, provides second channel information for second signals including signals having a received signal strength below the specified level, and receives an allocation of one or more resource blocks from assigned transmission sectors based on a ranking of the first channel information, whereby the one or more resource blocks are reallocated to another wireless communication device, from another transmission sector, based on the second channel information. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the disclosed subject matter. Therefore, it is to be understood that it should not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
摘要:
A method for determining an optimal access network by an apparatus is described. The method may include communicating with a first base station as part of a first access network using a first radio access technology (RAT). Information about access networks available to the apparatus may be received from a mobile broker. An optimal access network and the corresponding optimal RAT may be selected based on the received information. The method may also include switching to communications with a second base station using a second RAT.
