    摘要: Without using additional probing packets, estimates of the narrow link bandwidth and available bandwidth of a network path are computed based on existing traffic. The network can be of different types such as a wireless battlefield network context or a wired or wireless commercial network environment. “Fast packets”, i.e. those packets which do not experience any queuing delay in the network, are identified. Fast packets are identified to resolve end-to-end packet delay into its constituent components (deterministic, transmission and queuing delays), estimate path utilization and eliminate the uncertainty (false alarms) that causes the prior art method to lose its effectiveness. An estimation algorithm computes end-to-end transmission delay and end-to-end deterministic delay of fast packets traveling along a path in a network. Examples of deterministic delay include satellite propagation delays and clock effects. Then, based on the results of the fast packet identifying algorithm, two logic branches are followed. A first branch calculates utilization and a second branch calculates narrow link bandwidth. The narrow link bandwidth is determined from the packet pair dispersion. The available bandwidth is obtained from the narrow link bandwidth and the utilization. Estimation of available bandwidth for an end-to-end network path allows traffic sources to judiciously regulate the volume of application traffic injected into the network.

    摘要: The location of a mobile unit in the service area of a CDMA wireless communications system is determined by a location probability distribution procedure that is based entirely on analytical results derived from an integrated model of the wireless communications system, its RF environment and attribute measurement. The mobile unit measures and reports attribute values of pilot signal strength of all pilot signals visible to the mobile unit at its present location, whereupon a location probability distribution is computed based on a Bayesian probability algorithm including a set of stored model parameters.

    摘要: A Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (“UMTS”) is modified to provide location-determining services similar to Wireless-Assisted-GPS (“WAG”) services to mobiles without requiring the deployment of a GPS receiver inside the UMTS network. The resulting network is known as a UMTS Network Assisted GPS (“UNAG”) network. A UNAG network is created by deploying a UNAG server inside a UMTS network. The UNAG server provides WAG-like services to mobiles. Only one UNAG server is needed in an entire system, allowing the cost of the UNAG server to be amortized over a number of Mobile Switching Centers (“MSCs”) in the UMTS network. The UNAG server provides excellent location-prediction accuracy and reduces the amount of time required to determine the location of a mobile in a UMTS network.

    摘要: A time division multiplexed communications method and system in which time is divided into a number of frames and each frame is divided into N data bursts. The method and system further has a first multiplexer by which a half rate channel is formed as a series of bursts that occur periodically every N bursts once per frame, a second multiplexer in which a full rate channel is formed as two half rate channels on consecutive timeslots, and a transmitter transmitting the full rate channel from a first wireless station to a second wireless station. The full rate channel provided by two half rate channels on consecutive timeslots yields a significantly larger resource pool available for assignment of communication traffic. For full rate channels, the interleaving 0246/1357 method that is used by the system is just as good as the known 0123/4567 method when ideal frequency hopping is used, and the 0246/1357 method performs better when non-ideal frequency hopping or no frequency hopping is used.

    摘要: In a secure network where the network characteristics are not known, a call admission control algorithm and a preemption control algorithm based on a destination node informing the source node of the observed carried traffic are used to regulate the amount of traffic that needs to be preempted by the source. The amount of traffic that needs to be preempted is based on the carried traffic measured at the destination node. The traffic to be preempted is based on the priority of the traffic, where the lowest priority traffic is the first to be preempted until the amount of traffic preempted is sufficient to allow the remaining traffic to pass through the network without congestion.
