This disclosure generally discloses an anchor mobility mechanism. The anchor mobility mechanism is configured to support migration of flows between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system. The anchor mobility mechanism may be configured to support migration of flows between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system in a highly seamless manner. The anchor mobility mechanism may be configured to support migration of a flow of a wireless device between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system using functions performed by a control element (CE) and one or more forwarding elements (FEs) within the data plane of the flow of the wireless device. The functions may include identifying a time at which to initiate migration of the flow, initiating migration of the flow based on identification of the time at which to initiate migration of the flow, or the like, as well as various combinations thereof.

Congestion in connection-oriented data networks is alleviated by simulating the rerouting of circuits to uncongested parts of the network and then rerouting such circuits in a manner that causes little, or no, disruption to other parts of the network.

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.
摘要:
The coordination of transmissions by access points (APs) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is carried out by allowing APs to transmit during slots of a Contention Free Period (CFP). Prior to transmission, slots are assigned to APs using a 4-approximation technique. This technique allows an AP to transmit using multiple frequencies. The assignment of slots satisfies a maximal, lower bound of an AP slot-to-user ratio.

The invention includes a method and apparatus for dynamically pushing content over a wireless network A method includes obtaining network-level state information and user-level state information for a user in response to an indication that content is available for the user, determining whether a network-level condition is satisfied using the network-level state information, determining whether a user-level condition is satisfied using the user-level state information, and pushing the available content toward the user terminal of the user using the wireless network in response to the conditions being satisfied. The network-level state information includes cell utilization information for a cellular region associated with the user terminal of the user. The user-level state information includes at least one of a user channel quality, a user terminal power state, a user terminal battery power status, a user terminal memory status, at least one user terminal capability, and user subscription information for the user.

The invention includes a method and apparatus for providing content to user terminals. A method includes identifying a request for content from a user terminal, obtaining a network selection parameter for the content request, selecting, using the network selection parameter, a wireless network over which to propagate the requested content, and propagating the requested content toward the user terminal using the selected wireless network. The selected wireless network may be a unicast wireless network or a broadcast wireless network.
摘要:
The invention includes a method and apparatus for providing interactive services using unicast wireless networks and broadcast wireless networks. A method includes receiving content interaction information indicative of interactions by a user with content presented at a wireless user terminal, obtaining at least one service parameter, and providing a service using the content interaction information and the at least one service parameter, wherein the service is provided using one of the unicast wireless network or the broadcast wireless network. The content for which content interaction information is received is provided to the wireless user terminal using a broadcast wireless network and the content interaction information is received over a unicast wireless network. The service that is provided may include providing modified content over the broadcast wireless network, providing personalized content over the unicast wireless network, operating a proxy for a network-based service, and the like.
摘要:
A methodology for making joint channel and routing assignments in multi-radio wireless mesh networks that takes into account interference constraints, the number of channels in a network and the number of radio available at each mesh router, and maximizes bandwidth allocation subject to fairness constraints. In particular, the methodology provides for routing, channel assignment and link scheduling in multi-radio mesh wireless networks utilizing a constant factor approximation technique that models the interference and fairness constraints and is able to account for the number of radios at each of the wireless nodes of a wireless mesh network.
摘要:
An example method includes receiving at a user device a policy from a communication network node, and loading the user device with content data based on the policy. The policy specifies a rule set and a corresponding action to undertake in the event of a condition satisfying the rule set and may be received at the user device in response to connection of the user device to the network node. The policy received may be an updated policy, and may be based on network conditions. Example apparatuses and methods determine how (for example, what access technology and what times, to best deliver content given the particulars for a user and the device state of the user, using a rules set that can be dynamically updated without user intervention by network operators based on network management policies. Delivery includes upload, download and sideload of a user device.
