Abstract: In a Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) all-optical network having optical nodes linked together by optical fibers carrying communication channels of separate wave-lengths, a method is applied in order to extend the size of the all-optical network. According to the method, a model is set up for the all-optical network in which a wavelength graph containing vertices and edges represents the physical effects of the nodes and links. After identifying a set of demand, an objective function is calculated expressing the total routing cost and total signal power demand of the channels. The minimum of the objective function returns the signal powers for each channel to be tuned.

Abstract: An arrangement and method in a communication system such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio receiver for reducing the impact of interference from an intermittent interfering signal transmitted by an interfering system which may be co-located with the OFDM system or may be remotely located. Each OFDM symbol in a received OFDM signal includes a guard interval (GI), a middle portion, and a last portion identical to the GI. The arrangement determines which portion of each OFDM symbol is contemporaneous with the interfering signal and time-shifts a fast Fourier transform (FFT) window in the OFDM receiver to minimize or eliminate FFT processing of samples of the OFDM symbol that are contemporaneous with the interfering signal, thereby minimizing the impact of the interfering signal.

Abstract: A first network element that receives an appropriation message from a second network element that indicates a target address which the second network element intends to appropriate for its use. In response to the appropriation message, the first network element broadcasts a discovery message to a plurality of network elements on the network to request a link-layer address in association with the first target address. The first network element receives a discovery response from the second network element with the first target address and the link-layer address of the second network element. Then the first network element updates a neighbor cache to include a pre-cached neighbor cache entry associating the link-layer address to the first target address. This prevents one or more future neighbor cache misses associated with the first target address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling data related to users in a telecommunication network to support analysis of said users. Plural sets of parameter values relating to the users are read once, and a first level quantization cell is determined for each set of parameter values according to a default first level quantization scheme. Then, clusters of first level quantization cells populated by users are identified and an adaptive second level quantization scheme is formed by translating the identified clusters into second level quantization cells. Representative parameter values are also assigned to each second level quantization cell, wherein the representative parameter values are used for analyzing the users.

Abstract: A data communication scheduling system (300) of a radio base station (100) serving multiple cells (10-30) comprises multiple radio equipment, REs, (101-103) and antenna interfaces (115, 125, 135) connectable to antennas (110, 120, 130). In order to reduce the power consumption, only a subset of the RE (101) is active, while the other REs (102, 103) are turned off. A transmitter controller (155) is arranged for controlling the active RE (101) to be shared among multiple cells (10-30) during a radio frame (40) so that each cell (10-30) is guaranteed at least one sub frame (50-58) for downlink transmission. A receiver antenna system multiplexer(140) selectively interconnects the active RE (101) with the antenna interfaces (115, 125, 135) according to the operation of a receiver controller (145).

Abstract: Methods and Gateways (GWs) are provided for efficiently sending a router advertisement message to a User Equipment (UE). The GW comprises an interface, a processor, and an instructions repository that stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the later to determine the UE is in idle mode, and responsive thereto, to delay a transmission of the router advertisement message to the UE until the UE transitions from the idle mode to an active mode. This is achieved by delaying a paging of the UE. In another embodiment, a method and GW is provided. The GW's processor detects a router advertisement message needs to be sent to the UE, determines the UE is in idle mode and delays a paging of the UE until detecting the UE transitions from the idle mode into an active mode, when the router advertisement message is sent to the UE.
