Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating and rendering an enhanced audiovisual recording of a user, which may be used for multiuser communication, e.g., in Virtual Reality. Such an enhanced recording may be generated by determining a face orientation of the user in the audiovisual recording, and generating orientation data specifying an orientation which represents said determined face orientation. During rendering, the audio data may be rendered based on the orientation data, namely by rendering the audio data as a spatial audio source having a spatial direction which is congruent with the face orientation of the user in a visual representation of the user. Accordingly, the spatial direction of the voice of the user may better match the user's face direction in the user's visual representation.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method are provided for controlling network access of customer-premises equipment which may be connected via a last mile access line to a transport network. The last mile access line may terminate at a line terminal in the transport network. Said controlling may comprise searching a trusted access database for an entry containing a combination of an equipment identifier and a line identifier. If the entry is found and if the entry contains a user identifier having user credentials which are valid according to an authorization database, the network access may be granted. If the entry is not found, temporary access may be granted to a private network which may enable a user identifier and user credentials to be digitally submitted. If the user credentials are valid according to the authorization database, the network access may be subsequently granted.

Abstract: A system (11) is configured to maintain a list of devices (1,9) associated with the system, wherein for each first device (1) of the list which uses a second device (9) of the list as a relay to the mobile communication network, the relation between the first device and the second device is recorded in the list and a security endpoint is recorded for the first device. The system is further configured to receive encrypted information from a device, determine from the list whether the device is used by a further device as a relay, forward the encrypted information to a security endpoint associated with the further device upon determining that the device is used by the further device as a relay and the security endpoint is not the system, and decrypt the encrypted information upon determining that the device is not used by a further device as a relay.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for determining a size of a virtual object in a virtual environment. The virtual object may represent an object in physical space. The system and method may obtain image data of the object from a camera, obtain camera metadata indicative of an angle of view of the camera, estimate an object distance between the object and the camera, and estimate a physical size of the object in physical space by determining an image size of the object in the image data, and determining a relation between the image size and the physical size of the object on the basis of the camera metadata and the object distance. Accordingly, the size of the virtual object in the virtual environment may be determined in accordance with the physical size of the object. Virtual objects may thus be given realistic relative sizes in the virtual environment. A further advantage may be that there is no need for a calibrated system of multiple cameras and a calibrated rendering environment.

Abstract: System and method for making a vertical handover decision between first and second networks using a terminal configured to attach to both networks and a fixed point in either network. Both networks allow information flow between the terminal and the fixed point. When attached to the first network the terminal detects the second and compares a first bandwidth measurement, representing available bandwidth along a first path between the terminal and the fixed point, to a second bandwidth measurement representing available bandwidth along a second path between the terminal and the fixed point. The terminal maintains attach to the first network if the first bandwidth measurement is higher than the second bandwidth measurement and makes a decision to handover to the second network if the second band¬ width measurement is higher than first bandwidth measurement.

Abstract: Stream control methods and devices are provided for use in a network (100) for transferring a video stream from a video server (120) to a video client (110) via a distribution chain of network resources (101, 102, 103, 106). A streaming controller (130) controls streaming settings at the client node. A bridge (150) controls the video stream by obtaining a bandwidth requirement of the video stream, and network resource data including bandwidths available on network resources. The bridge determines a resource allocation including an allocated bandwidth, based on the network resource data and the bandwidth requirement so that the video stream complies with the network resource data. The allocated bandwidth enables the streaming controller to control, in accordance with the allocated bandwidth, the streaming settings for the client.

Abstract: The present invention enables a network operator to select a gateway that provides desirable operational parameters to access a network node function in a network node requested by a client. A network service provider detects what service a client device is requesting or using and selects a gateway (e.g. PDN-GW) to deliver the service. The client device is signaled to make a new connection to the network using the selected gateway, e.g. by connecting to the APN associated with the PDN-GW that delivers the service.
