Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus for detecting network congestion. The method includes capturing, using a local clock of a sender device, a send time of an outgoing packet sent from the sender device to a receiver device through a forward route, and capturing, using the local clock of the sender device, a receive time of an acknowledgment packet sent from the receiver device to the sender device through a backward route. The acknowledgment packet contains timing information, generated using a local clock of the receiver device, for determining an internal latency of the receiver device. A round trip time is computed as a difference between the send time and the receive time. The internal latency is subtracted from the round trip time to compute a total propagation time. If the total propagation time is above a threshold, the forward route and the backward route are changed.

Abstract: A technique that addresses the problem of a TCP connection's throughput being very vulnerable to early losses implements a pair of controls around ssthresh. A first control is a loss forgiveness mechanism that applies to the first n-loss events by the TCP connection. Generally, this mechanism prevents new TCP connections from ending slow-start and becoming conservative on window growth too early (which would otherwise occur due to the early losses). The second control is a self-decay mechanism that is applied beyond the first n-losses that are handled by the first control. This mechanism decouples of ssthresh drop from cwnd and is thus useful in arresting otherwise steep ssthresh drops. The self-decay mechanism also enables TCP to enter/continue to be slow-start even after fast-recovery from a loss event.

Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of different wireless networks operating at least in part in overlapping frequency bands includes monitoring, by a first wireless transmitter, activity in the overlapping frequency bands. The first wireless transmitter determines whether a channel in the overlapping frequency bands is idle for a predefined time period. Based on the channel being idle for the predefined time period, it is determined that the first wireless transmitter has a transmission opportunity on the channel. The first wireless transmitter measures an amount of time until a next frame boundary on the channel and, based on the amount of time until the next frame boundary being below a threshold, reserves the channel for a fixed duration of time. Based on the amount of time until the next frame boundary being above the threshold, the first wireless transmitter skips the transmission opportunity on the channel.

Abstract: An S-CSCF component within an IMS receives a registration request associated with the UE. The registration request is associated with the UE switching from a first network that provides support for a first feature set to a second network that provides support for the second feature set. Instead of performing registration actions and deregistration actions with an application server in response to the registration request, the S-CSCF compares the feature tags of the registration request with previous feature tags that are associated with currently registered features. The S-CSCF causes a registration action to be performed in response to determining that the current registration request includes a feature tag that is not currently registered. The S-CSCF causes a deregistration action to be performed in response to determining that the current registration request does not include a feature that is currently registered.
