    摘要: A system and related method for supporting non-intrusive and effective voice communication among mobile users in which voice calls between mobile users are managed based on callee availability, caller-callee relationships, and non-intrusive information exchange, including interactive exchange at the time of call setup but prior to the call being answered. Callee availability can be based on callee device status, calendar activities, location, past behavior and other factors. The caller-callee relationships specify whether the callee is available, unavailable or on restricted availability relative to the caller. The interactive exchange can be implemented using voice and/or text/graphic displays on caller and callee mobile device. Callees are provided with options for handling the call. Callers are provided with information regarding the callee's current and future availability and willingness to receive a voice call from the caller, thus maximizing the chance of caller reaching the callee on every voice call.

    摘要: Improved network design techniques are provided. More particularly, the invention provides network design techniques that support fast restoration. In one aspect of the invention, a technique for designing a protection capacity to be reserved in a network comprises the following steps/operations. Link capacities associated with a network topology and existing working traffic in the network are obtained. Capacity partitions are determined for links in the network topology. Each of at least a portion of the capacity partitions comprise a protection capacity portion and a working capacity portion that equals or exceeds the existing working traffic on a corresponding link, such that upon a failure on the link, the working traffic on the link is rerouted over a pre-provisioned detour path using the protection capacity portion on one or more links on the detour path. Further, the capacity partition determination step/operation substantially guarantees protection for existing working traffic in the network. Still further, the capacity partition determining step/operation may further substantially guarantee protection for future working traffic in the network.

    摘要: A method and a system for supporting rendezvous based instant group conferencing among mobile users allows a conference originator to initiate and setup instant group conferencing to a set of participants even when the participants may not be immediately available to commit to the conference call at the time of its initiation. All negotiations for obtaining commitments from the participants are performed by the system, thus relieving the originator of the time consuming task of negotiating with the participants. The system automatically decides as to when to actually dial out to the participants to setup the conference call after obtaining commitment from all (or a quorum of) required participants.

    摘要: Problems associated with hidden nodes and overlapping cells in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are substantially eliminated by only allowing non-interfering Access Points to transmit during assigned slots of a contention-free period (CFP). The CFP is broken up into a number of slots which are assigned to Access Points based on the number of users associated with each Access Point. This assures a relative level of fairness and a quality of service.

    摘要: A method and a system are disclosed for obtaining the dynamic network state of mobile subscribers, such as subscriber location, presence or other state information. This information, which may be distributed within various core mobile network elements, is obtained via a differentiated network service gateway (DNSG) that interfaces with the mobile network elements in a manner that accommodates the network's operator enforced controls and limitations. The DNSG implements service level agreements (SLAs) that support differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) in terms of accessing the dynamic network state of the mobile subscribers. The consumers (DNSG clients) of the dynamic network state information may include applications that provide communication and transactional services to mobile subscribers based on their network state, and the mobile subscribers themselves. The consumers register with the DNSG for SLAs to obtain a desired QoS that determines the precision and speed at which the network service functions for their exclusive use. The DNSG uses the SLAs to allocate available resources to the consumers and for scheduling queries to the core network elements so as to obtain the network state of the mobile subscribers according to the requirements of the SLAs.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for provisioning a protection pathway of a link joining a first point in a network and a second point in the network. The method includes the step of determining a shortest path between the first point and the second point in a protection graph, computing a length of said shortest path, determining if said link should be added to the protection graph according to said computed length and setting the shortest path in the protection graph as protection path for said link. The second step of determining includes evaluating the protection graph to determine if there no existing path or an existing path that is longer than a hop limit. Based on this evaluation, the method either adds the link or makes no change to the protection graph.

    摘要: Improved network design techniques are provided. More particularly, the invention provides network design techniques for pre-provisioning networks to support fast restoration with minimum overbuild. In one aspect of the invention, a technique for designing a protection capacity to be reserved in a network comprises the following steps/operations. One or more link capacities associated with a network topology are obtained, wherein the network is assumed to have no pre-existing working traffic. A capacity partition is determined for at least one link in the network topology, the capacity partition comprising a working capacity portion and a protection capacity portion, the protection capacity portion being reserved for rerouting working traffic upon a failure. The capacity partition determination step/operation enables control over the number of backup tunnels, associated with the at least one link, on which working traffic can be rerouted. Further, the capacity partition determination step/operation substantially guarantees at least one of a minimal failure restoration time and a minimal overbuild. A minimal overbuild may comprise an overbuild equivalent to no more than two times an overbuild required for an optimal solution.

    摘要: A fast and efficient method for network re-optimization is described. In one embodiment, the technique uses an algorithm that requires limited aggregate information to continually monitor the network for re-optimization opportunities. The re-optimization of the present invention enables a network to accommodate more traffic without adding capacity. The re-optimization of the present invention is performed only when network efficiency benefits above a predetermined threshold may be obtained. In addition, a least-cost set of sessions is determined to perform the re-routing of the present invention to attain the desired network efficiency.
