Abstract: An access network (14), computer software and method for protecting an identity of a user (12) connected via the access network (14) to a peer to peer network (22), from other users (12) of the peer to peer network (14). The method includes receiving at the access network (14) a request from the user (12) for using the peer to peer network (22), the request including at least a first identity (IP) of the user (12) and data related to content stored or desired by the user (12), associating the first identity (IP) of the user (12) with a second identity (IPp2p), different from the first identity (IP), where a relationship between the second identity (IPp2p) and the first identity (IP) of the user (12) is generated by the access network (14), and transmitting the second identity (IPp2p) instead of the first identity (IP) to the peer to peer network (22) together with the data related to content from the request, such that the first identity (IP) of the user (12) is not provided to the peer to peer network (22).

Abstract: There is provided a method in a first base (Node_B_S) station adapted to receive media access control layer packet data units (MAC-d; PDU 101, 102, 104, 105) from a radio network controller (RNC) relating to at least a traffic flow relating to a given user entity (UE_Q) and forwarding (MAC-hs/MAC-ehs) such packet data units to said user entity.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE), Home Agent node (HA), methods, and a telecommunications system are provided for use during negotiation of IP security associations, such as during an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) procedure, between the UE and the HA. The UE sends to the HA an authentication request comprising an indicator relative to a Home Network Prefix (HNP) to be assigned to the UE. Based on the indicator, the HA assigns a new HNP or re-assigns the HNP already assigned, and sends back a response comprising the assigned HNP. If the UE performs a handover to another access network or establishes a simultaneous binding to the other access network, the UE sends its own HNP in the authentication request thus asking the HA to re-assign the same HNP for the new connection being established. If the UE makes an initial access with a network, the indicator may be left blank, asking for the assignment of a new HNP for the UE.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the on-line management of energy consumption for multiprocessor systems, the method executing at least one application according to a chart of tasks, wherein the method includes, for each application: a first phase for the off-line characterization of the variation of the potential rate of parallelism of execution of the tasks as a function of time, this characterization being based on the worst-case task execution times; and a second phase for the on-line detection and exploitation of the inactivity intervals and of the potential time excesses. A DPM technique makes it possible to determine the duration of the inactivity interval during which a processor may remain inactive according to the potential rate of parallelism characterized in the worst case.

Abstract: A method and system for generating an Availability Management Framework (AMF) configuration based on a model driven approach. The AMF configuration is an instance of an AMF sub-profile that can be used to model resources and services to be protected, and is generated from an instance of the Entity Type Files (ETF) sub-profile and an instance of the Configuration Requirements (CR) sub-profile. The ETF sub-profile can be used to model the resources provided by vendors, and the CR sub-profile can be used to model configuration requirements. Each of the AMF sub-profile, the ETF sub-profile and the CR sub-profile is a specialization of pre-defined Unified Modeling Language (UML) meta-classes. An input that includes an ETF model and a CR model, which are instances of the ETF sub-profile and the CR sub-profile, respectively, is transformed into an AMF model as the AMF configuration.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method for migrating control plane data transport between a control node (5) and a base station (5) controlled by the control node from an old and currently used transport technology, e.g. an ATM based transport option, to a new transport technology, e.g. an IP based transport option. A protocol stack for the new transport technology is created (31) in the control node (5). In a similar manner, a protocol stack for the new transport technology is created (31) in the base station (7). Thereafter, a connection based on the new transport technology is formed (33) between the control node and the base station. Then the new transport technology is used (39) on the formed connection for at least one new control plane message between the control node to the base station.
