Abstract: A base station may receive a resource request, from a device, that includes a request to access a radio resource. The base station may determine a device class to which the device belongs. The base station may determine an amount of radio resources permitted to be allocated to devices belonging to the device class, may determine an amount of radio resources being utilized by devices belonging to the device class, and may compare the amounts. The base station may determine whether radio resources are available to be allocated to the device based on comparing the amounts, and may process the resource request based on the determination. The base station may grant the resource request when radio resources are available to be allocated to the device, and may deny or postpone the resource request when radio resources are not available to be allocated to the device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device receives a payload encapsulated in an Internet Protocol (IP) transport header having a time-to-live (TTL) value, and decapsulates the payload while maintaining the TTL value. In response to determining that a destination of the payload is not attached to the device, the device may then re-encapsulate the payload in a new IP transport header with a new TTL value that is less than the maintained TTL value, and transmits the re-encapsulated payload toward the destination. In this manner, loops in overlay networks may be prevented based on eventual expiration of the TTL value of the IP transport header, accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate multiplexing communications from multiple downstream access points to one or more mobility management entities (MME). In particular, a concentrator component is provided that can establish a single transport layer connection with an MME along with multiple application layer connections over the single transport layer connection for each of multiple downstream access points and/or related mobile devices.

In this regard, the MME can send paging messages, and the concentrator component can determine downstream access points related to the paging messages based on a stored association with a tracking identifier in the paging message.

Abstract: A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) session between computing devices can be identified. Each computing device can be associated with a communication link. Each of the computing devices can execute a VoIP application. Each application can include selectable codecs. The codecs can be an audio codec and a video codec. A unique list of the selectable codecs can be generated. The list can include sublists which can identify the codecs. A loss threshold with each sublist based on previously determined performance characteristics of the codecs can be associated. The threshold can be a packet loss threshold value of the link associated with the devices. A packet loss metric of the link can be evaluated. The link can be associated with a codec of the sublists. A programmatic action can be performed to select a different codec from the sublists responsive to the evaluating.
