  • Patent number: 9485192
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes receiving, by a service node, a request from an access node to establish a pseudowire to be used for sending subscriber traffic to the service node for application of services to the subscriber traffic at the service node, and, in response to receiving the request, sending a request message from the service node to a central server requesting both subscriber authentication and assignment of a forwarding component of the service node to which to anchor the pseudowire. The method also includes receiving, by the service node and from the central server, an authentication message in response to the request message, wherein the authentication message confirms subscriber authentication and indicates a forwarding component of the service node to which the service node should anchor the pseudowire.

  • Patent number: 9438440
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a connection is established between first and second Internet of Things (IoT) devices. After a determination is made to execute a proximity detection procedure, the second IoT device outputs an audio emission and a data packet at substantially the same time. The first IoT device detects the audio emission via a microphone and receives the data packet. The first IoT device uses correlation information to correlate the detected audio emission with the data packet, whereby the correlation information is contained in the detected audio emission, the data packet or both. The first IoT device uses the correlation between the detected audio emission and the data packet to calculate a distance estimate between the first and second IoT devices.

  • Patent number: 9326215
    Abstract: A method is described of performing handover by a mobile terminal from a source base station to a target base station, the mobile terminal having a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer and a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer. The RRC layer receives a handover command. The RLC layer receives an indication associated with the handover command. Upon receiving the indication, at least one RLC service data unit (SDU) from at least one protocol data unit (PDU) having a sequence number that is less than a variable is reassembled. The variable indicates a sequence number following a highest sequence number among at least one PDU received out of sequence by the RLC layer. The reassembled at least one RLC SDU is delivered to an upper layer of the mobile terminal, and at least one remaining PDU that could not be reassembled into at least one RLC SDU is discarded.

  • Patent number: 9319154
    Abstract: Methods for testing multiple data packet signal transceiver devices under test (DUTs) with a shared tester. The DUTs transmit their data packet signals until predetermined numbers of data packets have been transmitted or predetermined time intervals expire, following which, each DUT awaits a synchronization request to begin transmitting data packets to the tester. Alternatively, the tester determines when its receiver is available for receiving data packets, following which, synchronization requests are sent to respective DUTs to initiate their transmissions of data packets to the tester. Further alternatively, power levels among data packets initially transmitted from the DUTs are monitored to determine when they are indicative of them having settled. As each DUT data packet signal power settles, a status signal indicating the settled nature of each DUT is provided to the tester which then begins receiving the respective DUT data packet signals, as they settle in power, for analysis.
