Patent number: 9326010Abstract: A method and network entity for downloading detected video packets. A minimum bit rate MinBR equals ViBR+M, where M?0 is a configurable bit rate margin from an estimated video bit rate ViBR. A specific bit rate SBR is greater than MinBR. The method uses MinBR and SBR as a minimum bit rate limit and a maximum bit rate limit respectively between which the bit rate for delivering video in case of congestion is defined. The method can further compare the predefined specific bit rate with a real throughput of the user requesting video download with a QoS profile, and if there is congestion and if the throughput is larger than or equal to SBR, the priority value of a QoS profile to be used for downloading video in case of congestion.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignees: Vodafone Group PLC, Vodafone Espana, S.A.U.Inventors: Francisco Javier Dominguez Romero, Andrea De Pasquale

Patent number: 8233394Abstract: A method for preventing overload in telecommunications networks with IMS by always-on for a call received by a user. The user sends a request message in order to activate a new PDP Context to his SGSN, which sends it to a GGSN. The GGSN sends an Accounting Request message to an AAA server. If the GGSN is going to deactivate the user PDP Context for having been inactive, the association is not eliminated from an AAA server in which this association has been saved and, when an incoming call is received: the status of the user PDP Context is verified by an indicator, and if it is not active, the PDP Context is reactivated, and if the IP address has not been assigned to another user, an attempt is made to reactivate the PDP Context; and if said IP address has already been assigned, a restart is carried out after the failure of the call.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignees: Vodafone Group PLC, Vodafone Espana, S.A.Inventors: Jose Carlos Sendra Alcina, Miguel Angel Touset Rios

Patent number: 8229358Abstract: Identification, authentication, and coverage control method implemented in a system including a central entity, a network of beacons, and a set of terminals, where each terminal is a device adhered to a beacon. The method includes defining a profile for each terminal, the profile including a coverage control service and a service connection authentication service, each service having an exclusive identifier. The coverage control service is connected when a beacon detects a device and the device is indentified as a terminal of the system. A service connection of the device is authenticated based on messages exchanged between the device and the beacon. If the authentication is positive, the device is allowed to adhere to the beacon and if the authentication is negative, the device is indentified as belonging to the system by not adhered to the beacon.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignees: Vodafone Group PLC, Vodafone Espana, S.A.Inventors: Guillermo Caudevilla Laliena, Guillermo Cajigas Bringas, Hector Berna Fornies

Patent number: 8204001Abstract: A method for preventing overload in telecommunications networks with IMS by always-on for a call generated by a user, in which process the user makes a PDP Context request and a GGSN of said network provides a free IP address to him or her and the PDP Context becomes active. An S-CSCF of the network creates a record in which an association between the IP address and a characteristic identity of the IMS network is included. When the GGSN is going to deactivate the PDP Context for having been inactive for a preestablished time, an indication of such deactivation is sent to the IMS client which maintains the characteristic IMS identity-IP address association and marks it as fictitious. When the user generates a new call, the IMS client informs the UMTS terminal about the characteristic IMS identity-IP address association marked as fictitious, and the UMTS terminal sends a PDP Context request message, in which message the IP address of the IMS association is included.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignees: Vodafone Group PLC, Vodafone Espana, S.A.Inventors: Jose Carlos Sendra Alcina, Miguel Angel Touset Rios

Publication number: 20100214924Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing overload in telecommunications networks with IMS by always-on for a call received by a user; if the GGSN is going to deactivate said user PDP Context for having been inactive, the association [user IP, GGSN IP, SGSN IP] is not eliminated from an AAA server in which this association has been previously saved, and furthermore the P-CSCF in which said user is located adds an indicator that said user is registered in IMS but without an active PDP Context; and, when an incoming call is received: the P-CSCF verifies the status of the user PDP Context by means of said indicator, and if it is not active, said PDP Context is reactivated for which the P-CSCF informs the GGSN about the IP address which must be assigned to said user, and if said IP address has not been assigned to another user, an attempt is made to reactivate the PDP Context using the address given by the P-CSCF for which the GGSN uses the Network-Requested PDP context activation procedure, a consulType: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2008Publication date: August 26, 2010Applicants: VODAFONE GROUP PLC, VODAFONE ESPANA, S.A.Inventors: Jose Carlos Sendra Alcina, Miguel Angel Touset Rios
