Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enhancing privacy of a data packet stream between first and second network nodes over a channel having a total bandwidth receives data packets of the data packet stream at the first network node and determines a current bandwidth used by the received data packets. The first node generates multiple spoof packets and interleaves the spoof packets and the received packets to generate an interleaved packet stream having a bandwidth that is greater than the current bandwidth and less than the total bandwidth. The first node transmits the interleaved packet stream to the second network node.
Abstract:
The solution presented herein facilitates the individual and dynamic configuration of each Remote Radio Head (RRH). The RRH comprises at least one hardware component, which comprises one or more performance sensors. The RRH adapts the configuration of its hardware component responsive to one or more performance metrics retrieved from that hardware component's performance sensor(s). In so doing, the RRH accounts for its hardware component's particular performance characteristics, including accounting for tolerance differences that occur at manufacturing and different performance degradations due to different environments. With time, the RRH develops configuration rule sets that account for current operating mode, component age, and environmental conditions. As such, the solution presented herein helps each RRH achieve optimum performance.
Abstract:
A network monitoring apparatus and system are disclosed to detect quality of service indicator values in headers of packets received via a network port. Based on detecting the quality of service indicators values, the apparatus and system maintain, for each of a plurality of quality of service indicator values, a count of the number of packets having the respective quality of service indicator value. The apparatus and system further maintain, for each of the plurality of quality of service indicator values, a total volume of network traffic having the respective quality of service indicator value. The packet counts and total network traffic volumes are output to a host processor. The host processor, in response to receiving the packet counts and network traffic volumes, transmits the packet counts and network traffic volumes to a network controller.
Abstract:
Systems, graphical user interfaces, and methods are provided to optimize bandwidth usage associated with a local network. As part of the bandwidth optimization techniques, a network regulation entity may maintain a plurality of usage statistics for a plurality of electronic devices. These usage statistics may be presented by an electronic device as part of a usage summary interface. In addition to displaying the usage statistics, the usage summary interface may enable a user to modify how the network regulation entity regulates traffic. Accordingly, the network regulation entity may update an access profile in accordance with the modification. Subsequently, the traffic received from the electronic device is processed based on the user- indicated modification. Thus, compliance with network neutrality principles may be maintained.
Abstract:
Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods for managing connection of a wireless communication device, including, but not limited to, receiving, by the wireless communication device, a call setup page from a network while in a connected mode, determining whether a data inactivity duration exceeds a threshold upon receiving the call setup page, transmitting a Scheduling Request (SR) probe to the network in response to determining that the data inactivity duration exceeds the threshold, determining whether an uplink grant corresponding to the SR probe has been received, and performing a local connection release in response to determining that the uplink grant corresponding to the SR probe has not been received.
Abstract:
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to context-aware virtualized control decision support system ("DSS") for providing quality of experience ("QoE") assurance for Internet protocol ("IP") streaming video services. A QoE assurance DSS 102 can monitor QoE event data 310 and context data 312 to be utilized for QoE assurance analytics, measure QoE performance, perform QoE assurance analytics, and determine whether the QoE assurance analytics indicate that the QoE has been degraded, and if so, construct a fault correlation information model 332, 600 to be utilized for root cause analysis to determine a root cause of the QoE being degraded. The QoE assurance DSS 102 also can determine, based upon the fault correlation information model 332,600, whether the root cause of the QoE being degraded is due to a capacity reduction, and if so, the QoE assurance DSS 102 can identify a new network resource for capacity reallocation to accommodate a virtual machine migration.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for balancing multipoint Radio Access Network traffic to mitigate backhaul congestion is provided. Schedulers communicate with a Traffic Engineering (TE) controller either directly or via a Virtual Link Monitor. The schedulers receive indications of data rate upper limits for virtual links overlaid onto the backhaul network, and schedule mobile device communications such that the data rate upper limits are respected. The Virtual Link Monitors maintain indications of current loading of the virtual links and provide the schedulers with operational information based on same. Scheduling is performed in view of the operational information. The Virtual Link Monitors also provide the TE controller with indications of service requirements for the virtual links, so that the TE controller can reconfigure the virtual links based on same.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, to reduce uplink reporting, a user equipment (UE) keeps a countof the number of uplink protocol data control packet (PDCP) service data units (SDUs) in a measurement period and a number of those uplink PDCP SDUs that either exceeded a configured delay threshold or were discarded without being sent. These numbers are processed by the UE into a single reporting metric which the UE reports to the network for example in a MDT measurement report. The network configures the delay threshold, which may be specific for a given QoS, and may also configure the measurement period.
