Patent number: 9419880Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for handling a service request from a requesting entity in a telecommunications network. A first service request for a particular service is received from the requesting entity. A sequence identifier is assigned to the requesting entity from which the first service request is received. The first service request is rejected by sending a reject message to the requesting entity and the assigned sequence identifier is also communicated to the requesting entity. At some later time, the sequence identifier is transmitted (e.g. broadcasted) in the telecommunications network in order. A second service request for the particular service is then received from the requesting entity and the serving entity now allows the request for the service.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignees: Koninklijke KPN N.V., Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TNOInventors: Annemieke Kips, Johannes Maria van Loon

Patent number: 9383490Abstract: A light beam is applied to a front surface of an optical depolarizer. The depolarizer rotates the polarization of light received on different surface positions by different amounts, so that the average incoming polarization is scrambled. The depolarizer has a first and second body that transmit first and second polarization components of the beam with mutually different speeds of light. Each body has two wedge shaped parts of variable thickness, corresponding wedge shaped parts in the two bodies providing light paths of substantially position independent lengths, but with variable rotation of polarization. The wedge shape parts of the front body form a concave input surface for the incoming beam. This prevents cross-over of light between the different wedge shaped parts.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: Borgert Kruizinga, Huibert Visser, Michiel David Nijkerk

Publication number: 20160191334Abstract: A method is described for assessing the resources of a network by performing a first measurement to measure resources in the network, constructing a model of network activity from an assessment of activity in the network, and deriving an estimate of confidence for the validity of the first measurement from the model of network activity. The first measurement may be reported along with the estimate of confidence or the first measurement may be reported if the estimate of confidence is within a limit, otherwise a second measurement is performed and reported. The method improves delivery of services to networks by allowing a measurement of resources to be coupled to an estimate of validity of that the measurement. A system and a gateway device for assessing the resources in a network is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2014Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicants: Koninklijke KPN N.V., Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TNOInventors: Vlado Menkovski, Frank Den Hartog, Antonio Liotta

Publication number: 20160182370Abstract: A method of network probing is described suitable for probing between a probe node and a destination node. The network comprises a further node which is connected to the probe node and the destination node. A node is typically selected to be a redirecting node and the routing rules at this redirecting node are changed. A node is typically selected to be a forwarding node and packet forwarding is enabled at the forwarding node. A probe packet transmitted between the probe node and the destination node can travel via the forwarding node. The result improves network probing by allowing probing of links not otherwise available for probing from the probe node, but without the disadvantages of complex packet processing at each node in the probe pathway.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicants: KONINKLIJKE KPN N.V., NEDERLANDSE ORGANISTIE VOOR TOEGEPAST-NATUURWETENS -CHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK TNOInventors: Hens Stokking, Frank Den Hartog, Manuel Herrera Van Der Nood

Patent number: 9372098Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method of transferring user data from a communication module to a data processing center over a telecommunications network. A signalling message is wirelessly received from the communication module in the telecommunications network. The signalling message contains the user data that is subsequently transferred to the data processing center. By inserting the user data in the signalling message(s), it is possible to rapidly transmit data to the telecommunications network, while resources can be saved since it not required to establish a complete circuit-switched or packet-switched connection between the communication module and the telecommunications network. The user data may comprise application data of a program run by the communication module, e.g. alarming data, measurement data or derivatives thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2009Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignees: Koninklijke KPN N.V., Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TNOInventors: Bryan Jerrel Busropan, Johannes Maria van Loon
