摘要:
A fiber-coax unit (FCU) is coupled to an optical line terminal (OLT) and a plurality of coax network units (CNUs). The FCU receives a multicast frame from the OLT. The multicast frame includes a first multicast logical link identifier (LLID) dedicated for multicast traffic directed to CNUs. The FCU replaces the first multicast LLID in the multicast frame with a second multicast LLID corresponding to one or more multicast groups that include at least one CNU of the plurality of CNUs. The FCU transmits the multicast frame to the plurality of CNUs.

A coax line terminal includes a first media access controller (MAC) corresponding to a first group of coax network units and a second MAC corresponding to a second group of coax network units. The coax line terminal also includes a first physical media entity (PME), coupled to the first MAC, to generate signals for transmission in a first frequency band, and a second PME, coupled to the first and second MACs, to generate signals for transmission in a second frequency band. The coax line terminal further includes a PME multiplexer to control access of the first and second MACs to the second PME.

Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate downloading and/or applying policies for a current configuration of network interfaces. Where a network interface of a device is deactivated or otherwise losses connection, the device can ensure policies for communicating without the network interface are enforced. Where such policies are not available, the policies can be downloaded to ensure the device stores policies for the network interface configuration.

Devices and methods are provided for subscription data optimization in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the method may involve receiving an update location request from a mobile entity and forwarding the update location request to a subscriber data repository. The method may involve receiving a profile identifier from the subscriber data repository, the profile identifier corresponding to profile parameters for a subscription service for the mobile entity. The method may also involve accessing a lookup table to determine the profile parameters associated with the profile identifier, and determining whether to authorize the subscription service based at least in part on the profile parameters.
摘要:
A system for controlling access of a mobile terminal to a communication network including a set of terminals, wherein said mobile terminal obtains access to the network as a result of a successful authentication procedure. The system includes an authenticator module for performing the authentication procedure of the mobile terminal and a communication mechanism configured for making the successful outcome of the authentication procedure known to the terminals in the set. The mobile terminal is thus permitted to access the network via any of the terminals in the set based on the authentication procedure.
摘要:
A method for supporting handover mechanisms, in particular Media Independent Handover (MIH) mechanism according to the IEEE 802.21 standard, wherein a user equipment (UE) attaches to an access network (AN) via points of attachment (PoAs), wherein signalling messages are exchanged between the entities participating in the handover process, in particular between the user equipment and the points of attachment, and wherein the handover mechanism supports changing the network connection of the user equipment from one of the points of attachment—current point of attachment (PoA)—to another one of the points of attachment—target point of attachment—while maintaining all ongoing communication of the user equipment, is characterized in that information about the user equipment's ongoing communication is added to the signalling messages exchanged in the handover process, wherein the information is employed to treat individual traffic flows of the user equipment's ongoing communication selectively during the handover process.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for receiving a request for authorization and access from a requestor; determining the association of a care-of-address (CoA) in the request with an access technology used by the requestor; administering authorization rules based on the association of the care-of-address (COA) and the access technology; and determining either to allow access or to deny access to the requestor using results from administering the authorization rules.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate detaching one of a plurality of network connections to ensure state information is retained at one or more network nodes. For a device initiated detach, the device can transmit a handover message related to performing a handover of one network connection to another active network connection, as opposed to explicitly detaching the network connection. This can cause at least some state information, such as a gateway identifier, to be retained in one or more network nodes. For a network initiated detach, a gateway can provision state information to a state information server following receiving a routing tunnel termination message to ensure state information deleted as a part of the detach is re-provisioned to the state information server.
摘要:
A method for supporting quality of service (QoS) mechanisms during a handover process or in preparation of a handover process, wherein a user equipment (UE) attaches to an access network (AN) via points of attachment (PoA), wherein the handover process supports changing connection of the UE from one of the points of attachment—current PoA—to another one of the points of attachment—target PoA—while maintaining all ongoing connections of the UE, wherein signalling messages are exchanged between the current PoA and a second PoA during or in preparation of the handover process, the second PoA including the target PoA or a candidate for the target PoA, and wherein the AN supports inner QoS mechanisms on a communication path within the AN, the communication path being used for communication between one of the PoA and a core network (CN) or between one of the PoA and a network entity within the AN, is characterized in that a triggering message is sent to the second PoA by the current PoA, the triggering message being received by an UE proxy located on the second PoA, wherein the UE proxy, in reaction to the triggering message, controls the inner QoS mechanisms to ensure QoS on the communication path.
