摘要:
The invention concerns a method for optimizing antenna pattern assignment for a first wireless communication device forming a wireless network with at least one second wireless communication device, each of said communication device being equipped with a multi-sector antenna, an antenna pattern being a combination of said antenna sectors, said communication devices being adapted for sending a request and for receiving a response using a current antenna pattern assignment, said method comprising a step of: evaluating by said first communication device a first value; sending by said first communication device to said second communication device a broadcast request comprising said value receiving by said first communication device, a response to said broadcast request, said response being sent by said second communication device, said response depending on a second value w evaluated by said second device; Switching or not, by said first communication device, to a new antenna sector assignment depending on said response; According to the invention the first value is evaluated by minimizing a first local function according to the received signal strength received by said first communication device having said current antenna pattern assignment and the second value w is evaluated by minimizing a second local function according to the received signal strength received by said second communication device for its own current antenna pattern assignment.

The invention concerns a method for measuring channel state information of multiple transmission/reception modes in a wireless network comprising a plurality of nodes, said modes being defined by frequency channels and/or antenna patterns, said wireless network comprising a MAC (Media Access Control) layer and every node comprising at least one MAC queue, comprising the steps of:periodically sending broadcast probe packets by at least one node called transmitter node, using a pre-determined and globally known period and predetermined sequence of transmission modes, each of said probe packets containing the transmission mode used for its transmission a sequence number of the transmission mode in the pre-determined sequence of transmission modes and a timestamp value containing the time said broadcast probe packet was buffered at the MAC queue of the transmitter node; measuring, by at least one second node called receiving node receiving a broadcast probe packet , channel state information of a transmission/reception mode for the link between the transmitter node and the receiving node; storing, by said receiving node, said measured transmission/reception mode for said link; using information contained in said received broadcast probe packet, by said receiving node to determine its reception mode and the beginning and end time instants it will use this reception mode, in order to receive a further broadcast probe packet and measure the next transmission mode of transmitter node, during a next measurement period of transmitter node.

摘要:
A method of identifying application data associated with IP flows traveling between a plurality of mobiles and a network element in a communications network includes receiving, at a network element, one or more domain name system (DNS) packets being sent to one or more mobiles from among of the plurality of mobiles; and building, at the network element, a mapping table mapping one or more IP addresses, respectively, to corresponding application information, based on mapping information within the one or more DNS packets received at the network element.
