A station of a wireless local area network, the station includes a joining unit configured to join one of a plurality of cliques or to create a new clique, wherein each of the plurality of cliques includes at least one station and wherein each station in a clique can hear all other stations within the clique. The station also includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a server that assigns a unique value to each station in the clique when the station joins the network, wherein the value is used to determine a rank associated with each station within the clique. The server is configured to maintain a system map that defines information associated with each of the plurality of cliques and all of the stations in the network. The station also includes a listening unit configured to listen for a predefined signal such that upon receipt of the predefined signal each station in the clique is configured to begin transmission based on an order determined by a ranking of the stations in the clique.

A system and method for including aggregation control information in an aggregate frame that facilitates enhanced power efficiency is provided. Aggregation control information may include lengths of frames addressed to different stations and/or transmission opportunities to different stations. A receiving station is then able to calculate an offset within the aggregate frame that identifies the position of frames addressed to the receiving station and/or offset when it can use the medium to transmit it's data. The receiving station may then enter a sleep mode and awaken at a proper time for using the medium to either receive, or transmit data on the medium. Additionally, aggregation control information may include rate information to facilitate aggregation of multi-rate data in an aggregate frame.

This invention provides an improved address management scheme in a mobile router (MR) that connects a mobile network into the Internet via an access network. The MR performs neighbor advertisement on behalf of mobile network nodes (MNNs) within the mobile network so that packets directed towards the MNNs are routed correctly to the MR, and then to the corresponding MNN, while maintaining standard address management procedures, such as IPv6 address management procedures, in the access network and in the mobile network.

The present invention concerns a data communication method for communicating packetized data via an interface between a transmitter and a receiver, wherein communication relies on a layered communication protocol stack comprising at least two protocol layers of different hierarchy level, wherein at least data communication on a lower one of the layers adopts a retransmission scheme for data packets for which an acknowledgment of receipt was not received at the transmitter, the method comprising the steps of initializing the retransmission scheme of the lower one of the layers by setting a condition parameter, wherein fulfilling the condition defined by the condition parameter represents an indication as to how to control the retransmission scheme, wherein initializing comprises setting said condition parameter of the lower one of the layers according to information forwarded from the higher one of said layers to the lower one of said layers, transmitting packet data from the transmitter via the interface to the receiver according to the retransmission scheme of the lower one of the layers, detecting that the condition is fulfilled during transmitting, and controlling said retransmission scheme of the lower one of said layers in response to the detecting.

The invention relates to a service control device and method for controlling service execution in a communication network. A service script for a user is loaded in response to the receipt of an incoming message, and it is checked based on a comparison of the loaded service script and the incoming message whether a service is to be triggered. If a service triggering has been determined, a service is activated in an external service execution environment. Due to the fact that the service execution is not performed in the service control point but in an external service execution environment, the service logic does not have to be provided at the service control point. It provides a flexible way to define, execute, and control user-specific, operator, and third party services combining various service capabilities.

A method includes connecting a mobile router (MR), also referred to herein as a gateway mobile terminal, of a mobile network (MONET) to an access point (AP) of an access network (AN) that includes an Access Router (AR); making a request to obtain a plurality of link addresses from a link address manager of the AN; allocating individual ones of the plurality of link addresses to individual ones of network nodes of the MONET; and performing a neighbor discovery procedure with the AR to send at least one neighbor advertisement to declare the allocated individual ones of the assigned plurality of link addresses.

A method and system handles at least one connection to at least one terminal in an access network. The access network includes a radio interface and at least one router. A link layer address is assigned to the at least one terminal, and a cell-specific radio link identifier is used at the radio interface for identifying a radio link to the router. An identifier for identifying the terminal or terminals preferably includes an RLI field for identifying the radio link, and a LLA Mapping field for identifying the terminal.

The invention relates to a method and system for providing allocation of resources depending on the characteristics of the flow request. The system allocates resources based upon at least one of the parameters class of service, delay requirement and bandwidth requirement of the flow request. During a call process, the system keeps updating the service rate allocated to meet the QoS requirement of a new flow request, the updated service rate being allocated to a new flow request of the same type. The system learns the traffic pattern and adjusts a current airlink performance to allocate a service rate to flows.

A method and equipment for accelerating throughput of communication segments from a sender (30) to a receiver (40) each of which include a protocol layer (30a 40a) for providing such segments, the method in case of TCP including a first step (20a) in which the sender protocol layer (30a) initializes a congestion window (cwnd) to some initial size (iwnd) and increases the congestion window by one segment each time it receives an ACK, but upon receiving an indication of low congestion, performs a step (20c) of accelerated start in which it sets a slow start threshold (SSTHRES) to a standard initial value (typically 65535) and re-initializes cwnd to a new value, and the sender protocol layer (30a) then increments cwnd at one or another predetermined rate—depending on whether the start immediately follows a new connection or instead follows a transfer of an existing connection to a new path—in respect to received ACKs.
