Abstract:
In particular embodiments a social networking system may receive authorization from a first user of a social-networking system to control at least in part one or more functions of a set-top box (STB) of the first user, determine one or more social actions of one or more second users of the social-networking system, determine one or more instructions for the STB of the first user based at least in part on the social actions, and provide the instructions for the STB of the first user. The social -networking system includes a graph having a plurality of nodes and edges connecting the nodes.
Abstract:
Channel quality may be measured in a device-to-device (D2D) communication network. The D2D communication network may include one or snore D2.D wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), wherein the D2D WTRUs may communicate using a D2D bandwidth. A D2D WTRU may receive a channel measurement resource configuration corresponding to a channel measurement resource. The D2D WTRU may further receive an RS on the channel measurement resource. The D2D WTRU may measure one or more channel state parameters from the channel measurement resource for a part of bandwidth overlapping with a D2D communication bandwidth, when the RS bandwidth is greater than the D2D communication bandwidth. The D2D WTRU may report the channel state parameters to a controlling entity. The controlling entity may configure a D2D frequency allocation between a transmitting device and a receiving device. The D2D frequency allocation may be based on the time averaged measurement.
Abstract:
A method for active scanning in a wireless network may include two transmitters. In such a method, the following steps may take place: detecting a first probe request having a scanning target originating from a first transmitter; desiring to send a probe request to the scanning target from a second transmitter; and canceling the second probe request on a condition that the second transmitter detects the first probe request.
Abstract:
An access network comprises an access node (20), such as an Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer, which connects to a plurality of users 30 of the access network. The access node (20) also connects to at least one gateway node (10). The access node (20) is arranged to obtain a MAC address of the gateway node (10). The access node (20) is arranged to inspect at least one MAC address of traffic received at the access node (20). The access node (20) is arranged to make a forwarding decision on the basis of the inspected at least one MAC address. Traffic in a downstream direction is forwarded if an inspected source MAC address is the MAC address of the gateway node (10) and traffic in an upstream direction is forwarded if an inspected destination MAC address is the MAC address of the gateway node (10). Direct traffic between the plurality of users (30) is not forwarded.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft Verfahren zur Adressinitialisierung in einem Netzwerk (1), das eine Steuerungsinstanz (10) und mindestens ein Netzwerkelement (101, 102, 103, 110) aufweist. Das Netzwerkelement ist durch eine Kennung (1012, 1022) charakterisiert. Die Steuerungsinstanz weist dem Netzwerkelement basierend auf der charakterisierenden Kennung eine Adresse (1011, 1021, 1031 ) zu. Die das Netzwerkelement charakterisierende Kennung gehört zu einem Satz (100) mit einer oder mehreren möglichen Kennung/en, der der Steuerungsinstanz bekannt ist oder mitgeteilt wird. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Netzwerk (1), das eingerichtet ist, das genannte Verfahren auszuführen, ferner ein Computerprogramm mit Programmcodemitteln zum Ausführen von Verfahrensschritten sowie ein maschinenlesbares Speichermedium mit einem derartigen Computerprogramm.
Abstract:
A communication system comprises: a plurality of nodes each of which requests a processing rule for processing a received packet; and a control apparatus that determines in response to the request a processing rule corresponding to the received packet and notifies the determined processing rule to at least one of the plurality of nodes. One of the plurality of nodes forwards to the control apparatus a first packet for acquiring a destination address for a predetermined communication. The control apparatus in response to determination of the destination address determines a processing rule for processing a second packet to be transmitted to the destination address and notifies the determined processing rule to at least one of the plurality of nodes. The communication system contributes to reducing calculation load of the control apparatus by preventing the control apparatus from calculating an entry for each of a packet used for address acquisition and a data packet.
Abstract:
Method for communicating data from a first computing device (101) in a computer network (100) to a second computing device in a second computer network (124) involves dynamically modifying at a first location (105) in the computer network (100) a plurality of true values (120). The true values correctly represent the plurality of identify parameters. These true values are transformed to false values (122), which incorrectly represent the identity parameters. Subsequently, the identity parameters are modified at a bridge (115) second location to transform the false values back to the true values. The position of the first location varies dynamically as part of this process. Dynamic modification of the identity parameters occurs in accordance with a mission plan that can be modified without interrupting communication of data in the network.
