Abstract: An internet protocol (IP) allocation method involves assigning network domains and IP address domains thereof to network elements (NEs) at the periphery of the domains, connecting the other new NEs in the domains to the (EMS) element management system server (EMS) through random addresses and information carried by Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packets, enabling the EMS server to automatically configure, manage, allocate and assign the new NEs so as for the NEs to operate at the IP addresses. If NEs are newly introduced into the telecommunication network, the new NEs can get connected to the EMS server easily and successfully by receiving LLDP packets multicast by the NEs at the periphery of the domains and other NEs which are already connected to the EMS server before.

Abstract: An intelligent method of building up a telecommunication network is used to set a Network Element (NE) and an Element Management System (EMS) within an in-band/out-of-band network management framework. The method provides the network element with a random address and makes it connect to the element management system according to a default remote address. After successful connection, the element management system automatically sets up, manages, and allocates the network element. If the network element cannot connect to the element management system by itself, it may receive a Link Layer Discovery Protocol packet about successful connection via multicast generated from network elements nearby. The network may likewise acquire correct connection information about successful connection to the element management system. Thus, this invention allows a newly added network element to be quickly and automatically set in the telecommunication network.

Abstract: A telecommunication network transmission divergence system and method is disclosed. A first multi-service-packet-control-unit and a second multi-service-packet-control-unit are disposed between a base station and a radio network controller. Packets are diverged to one or more low-stability & long-delay routes based on priorities of the packets. The system and method reduce transmission load of a frame exchange protocol interface (Iub) while maintaining a stable quality of service for divergent packet transmissions. As a result, transmission load and cost are significantly reduced and transmission efficiency is improved.

Abstract: A complementary network quality testing method for conducting a test on the quality of service with regard to data transmission taking place in a telecommunication network includes setting up a committed bucket of a committed burst size to receive tokens introduced thereinto at a committed information rate; receiving normal protocol data units and/or test protocol data units, followed by storing the normal protocol data units in a data queue and/or storing the test protocol data units in a test queue; determining whether the normal protocol data units are present in the data queue; and retrieving selectively the test protocol data units from the test queue or determining, selectively and again, whether the normal protocol data units are present in the data queue, depending on whether the tokens are present in the committed bucket.
