Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for delivering data (212) to a wireless station (102). An access point (104), or any other suitable device or system, receives a plurality of association requests (204) from a plurality of wireless stations (102) and transmits a different association identifier (208) to each of the plurality of wireless stations (102). The access point (104) buffers data (212) for a subset of the wireless stations (102). If the number of wireless stations (102) with buffered data (212) at the access point (104) is less than a threshold, then the access point (104) transmits a list of association identifiers indicating that buffered data (212) are held for each wireless station (102) identified by the list. If the number of wireless stations (102) with buffered data (212) at the access point (104) is not less than the threshold, then the access point (104) transmits data indicative of a range of association identifiers indicating that buffered data (212) are held for at least one wireless station (102) identified by the range.
Abstract:
A communication method of the network game is provided. The method includes that: the node server transforms the player identifier in the same game scene into the network address index of the client according to the network address information of the client and the neighbor node server, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between the player and the client; the client makes the peer-to-peer communication with the client except itself according to the network address index. A communication system of the network game and a method for implementing the network game are also provided. By using the scheme, the communication efficiency canbe increased, and the user experience can be improved.
Abstract:
An access method for a DSLAM system comprises steps: configurating the IP address of the uplink gateway, acquiring the IP address of the MODEM and informing the IP address of the uplink gateway to the MODEM; acquiring the MAC address of the uplink gateway and informing the MAC address and the IP address of the MODEM assigned to the user to the uplink gateway; reverting the ATM cell to the IP data packet, adding the Ethernet frame header encapsulation for the IP data packet to get the Ethernet frame, switching the Ethernet frame to the uplink network via Ethernet; in the Ethernet frame header, the original MAC address is the MAC address assigned to the user, the destination MAC address is the MAC address of the uplink gateway; removing the Ethernet frame header from the Ethernet frame of the uplink network, and reverting the Ethernet frame to the IP data packet, encapsulating the IP data packet to the ATM cell. A system and apparatus are also disclosed, and the Ethernet uplink in the mode of IPOA encapsulation can be realized.
Abstract:
A system and method for handling address resolution protocol requests at an intermediary device in a local area network. The intermediary device has an address resolution protocol cache for mapping Internet protocol addresses to physical layer addresses for devices in the local area network. The intermediary device receives a broadcast address resolution protocol request having an Internet protocol address for a device on the local area network. The address resolution protocol address contained in the broadcast address resolution protocol request is extracted and the address resolution protocol cache is accessed to seek to obtain a physical layer address mapped to the extracted Internet protocol address. As a result, a directed address resolution protocol request is forwarded from the intermediary device to the local area network device corresponding to the physical layer address obtained from the intermediary device data memory.
Abstract:
Different mechanisms are disclosed for translating native Media Access Control (MAC) addresses (150) to and from corresponding hierarchical MAC addresses, and the use of such MAC addresses. A packet switch typically maintains a data structure relating native MAC addresses of certain devices with external MAC addresses (170), wherein each of the external MAC addresses is typically hierarchical in nature with a portion of the translated address identifying a switch local to the destination device and through which the destination device is to be reached. Other network elements can then readily determine where to route a packet with a destination identified by such a hierarchical MAC address without having to maintain such a large or complete database of MAC addresses as the packet can be routed to the switch based on a portion of the hierarchical address (e.g., typically without regard to the portion of the address identifying the actual destination device).
Abstract:
An internet traffic redirection architecture is disclosed that allows for directing of various traffic to specified sites. The system and method allow a controller, such as an ISP, to benefit from unresolved IP Address requests and keyword and hotword queries by capturing this traffic and directing it to participating partners who provide content relevant and/or geographically relevant results. The system and method can decrease lost traffic, irrelevant keyword and hotword search results, and irrelevant redirection by web browsers resident on user's personal computers.
Abstract:
A method is provided of using the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) to at least partially secure communications between a first host (102) operating in a first network environment and a second, HIP-enabled, host (122) operating in a second network environment, with a gateway node (114) forming a gateway between the two environments. In the method, an identifier is associated with the first host (102), stored at the gateway node (114), and sent to the first host (102). The identifier is then used as a source address in a subsequent session initiation message sent from the first host (102) to the gateway node (114), having an indication that the destination of the message is the second host (122). The stored identifier at the gateway node is then used to negotiate a secure HIP connection to the second host. The first network environment may bc a UMTS or GPRS environment, in which case the gateway node may be a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN).
Abstract:
A method is presented for address resolution mapping in a wireless multihop communication network wherein the network is built up by client devices and/or infrastructure devices, network traffic is based on using ARP forwarding and rebroadcasting to locate devices in such a network architecture. The invention also includes devices for such a network and the complete communication system is described.
Abstract:
A method for web service handling in peer-to-peer communication is provided. A web service (412-1) associated with a web service identity e.g. a URI is arranged in a first mobile node (410). Unique identification information is formed by combining the web service identity with a unique circuit switched identifier of the mobile node, such as the E.164 number. The unique identification information is transmitted to a registration unit (440) and registered together with location information that enables for other mobile nodes (420) to find the web service. The location information may for example comprise the current IP address of the first mobile node and the port number for the web service at this node, or relate to an intermediate device used to reach the web service at the first mobile node.
Abstract:
A telephony network for enabling the origination and termination of telephone calls between one or more subscriber terminals (220) connected to a public packet network with an open addressing protocol and one or more non-subscriber terminals (202) connected to a PSTN network. Subscribers to the telephony network have E. 164 numbers mapped to their current IP address and published by a mapping server (114) so other subscribers and non-subscribers can call the subscriber. The mapped information is published on either a HTML or XML page for direct use over the Internet by other subscribers or for use by a gateway device (108). The gateway device enables non-subscribers on the PSTN to directly call subscribers. Calls between subscribers completely by-pass the PSTN. Subscribers can also call anyone with a phone number whether they are a subscriber or not.
