Patent number: 8259731Abstract: A system and method are provided for sorting IP routing table entries in a TCAM for longest IP prefix matching LPM of destination IP addresses. The IP routing table is divided into logical blocks, for each block an associated routing entry IP prefix length. Each block is of a respective size whose proportion of the total size of the routing table is determined by the associated IP prefix length. The blocks are ordered so that the TCAM returns an LPM when queried. Starting block sizes can be initialized to proportions which reflect actual expected numbers by proportion of routing entries by IP prefix length. The blocks also grow and shrink as entries are added and deleted so as to more closely mirror real-world populations of expected entries having the IP prefix length in question.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Alcatel, LucentInventors: James Wisener, Adrian Grah

Patent number: 8250210Abstract: A method of balancing user registration lifetimes in a network is disclosed for smoothing the load of the registration server. The method of balancing user registration lifetimes in a network includes providing an initial registration lifetime for a registration request that is calculated using the time of the request and the previous history of registration requests, and in a particular embodiment, using the cumulative distribution function of the history of registration requests. The method of balancing user registration lifetimes in a network is particularly useful for handling spikes in registration traffic, and can accommodate user-specified variable lifetimes, as well dynamic user arrivals and departures. It provides effective load balancing over time for a single server, at the expense of a constant factor additive load per user, which can be amortized to near zero over the long run.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Thyaga Nandagopal, Thomas Woo

Patent number: 8244263Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a system and related method for handling requests from a user device in a wireless communications network. Various embodiments relate to a Policy and Charging Rules Node (PCRN) attempting to bind an IP-CAN session established in a Packet Data Network gateway (PGW) with a gateway control session established in a serving gateway (SGW). In instances when the IP-CAN session and gateway control session no longer match, the PCRN may wait to receive a subsequent message from the PGW and/or SGW. When the PCRN does not receive the subsequent message containing a matching session, the PCRN may kill the sessions in all the relevant gateways. This may cause the system to reestablish a new, matching connection instead of remaining in a hanging state.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Fernando Cuervo, Ajay Kirit Pandya
