Abstract:
By using embodiments of the present invention, a targeted advertisement, or other customized content, can be published to a consumer when visiting a website. The consumer is connected to a mobile broadband network and is authenticated and authorized to this broadband network. Further, the consumer is given an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the mobile broadband network and this IP address is used to identify the consumer when the targeted advertisement is determined according to a profile of the consumer.This is achieved according to embodiments by letting the publisher request a targeted advertisement for a consumer visiting a website of the publisher. The targeted advertisement is found by using the IP address allocated to the consumer device by the mobile broadband network, i.e. the consumer is identifiable by the IP address. By using the mobile broadband operator's ability to map the IP address and the consumer identity a consumer profile of the consumer is found and based on the consumer profile the targeted advertisement can be determined and shown to the consumer. The consumer profile is controlled by the mobile broadband network.
Abstract:
A method of reserving credit for a mobile subscriber in respect of an IP multimedia service. The method comprises, following initial registration of the subscriber to the IP Multimedia service but prior to invocation of an IP Multimedia service, using the early session establishment procedure to reserve a credit amount at a charging control node and to notify an IP Multimedia Serving Element of the credit reservation, whereupon, at invocation of said IP multimedia service, the IP Multimedia Serving Element is able to proceed immediately with the session establishment.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a gateway (MGW1) in a telecommunication system (TS1) enabling connections to be effectively established between various networks (N1, N2, N3) in the telecommunication system. The gateway comprises resources from different nodes (RNC1, MSC1, IP1, VX1) of the various networks. Servers (S1-S6) from the networks are connected to the gateway (MGW1) and co-utilize the resources, which contributes to the effective utilization of the resources. This effective utilization of the resources is supported by the resources being divided into resource groups. Specific ones of these resource groups can be utilized by solely each one of the servers. Consequently, important services such as alarm services and security services can always reach the necessary resources in the gateway. Other resource groups can be co-utilized by only a small number of the servers while additional resource groups may be co-utilized by all of the servers (S1-6). By division into the resource groups the resources of the nodes (RNC1, MSC1, IP1, VX1) are co-utilized without the establishing of specific significant connections having to be rejected.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for processing data in a multi-processor environment are provided. An application chain is built including at least one application to be performed on the data. The data is received, and program information, e.g., a pointer, is added to the data for identifying a current application in the application chain to be performed on the data. The data is forwarded to an available processor in the multi-processor environment and is processed using the current application identified by the added program information. The processed data is updated with new program information identifying a next application in the application chain to be performed, if any. The processed data is forwarded to an available processor, processed, and updated repeated times until the data is processed by all applications in the application chain.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a coupling node (MG1) for coupling of communications in a telecommunication system, comprising networks (N1, N2) with different signal formats. The coupling node has switching and trunking functions (CP21, CP23) corresponding to the signal formats, and telefunctions, e.g. coders/decoders (F21) and echo cancellers (F22), which the node can couple into a communication by means of a selector (PS1). The functions are supported by printed board assemblies (CB1–CB9) in magazines (SR1), and the printed board assemblies have signal processors (DSP11–DSP13) with access points (SAP11–SAP14). The selector hunts one of the signal processors for handling one of the functions. If the processor has sufficiently free memory space in its data store and in its instruction memory and sufficient processor capacity, this processor is selected. Otherwise a new processor is hunted which is investigated in the same way.
Abstract:
Asynchronous data samples are received from a plurality of data channels for distribution onto a plurality of data processors each having a plurality of processing-slots. The identity of a channel from which a sample is received is determined using a channel ID associated with the sample. A time-stamp is assigned to at least one sample from each respective channel. Finally, at least one time-stamped sample is assigned to a processing-slot such that the separation between the time-stamp and a nearest time-stamp of at least one sample assigned to at least one other processing-slot of each respective processor is maximized.

Abstract:
A gateway (MG1) interconnects telecom networks (N1,N2) of different types with different signal formats (ATM,IP). A first control unit (CC1), connected (C1) to a server, controls connection set up. A second control unit (RC2) provides telecom functions (F21-F28), such as speech coder/decoder or echo extinguisher, to the connection. A third control unit (BC3) establishes connections and sets up switch functions (CP21-CP27) corresponding to the different signal formats (ATM,IP). A signal format converter (CP29) converts to/from a common signal format (COM1) that the telecom functions uses. A speech request goes via the server to the first control unit (CC1), which requests telecom function (F21) by the second control unit (RC2). This returns the address (ADR11) of the telecom function to the first control unit (CC1) which sends the function address (ADR11) and the network address (ADR2) of the connection to the third control unit (BC3). This interconnects the corresponding switch function (CP23) and the telecom function (F21) after conversion to the common signal format (COM1) in the signal format converter (CP29). The first control unit (CC1) thereafter requests connection to the next node from the third control unit (BC2), which establishes and indicates the connection (C41) to the first control unit (CC1). This requests setting up of a corresponding switch function (CP21) by the third control unit (BC3), which connects together the switch function with the telecom function (F21) after reconversion of the signal format. The functions (F21-F28;CP21-CP27) are hardware or software. They can easily be supplemented for new network types or new telecom services.
