Abstract: Disclosed are a device and method for providing a mobile Internet call service. In order to reduce a call waiting time for an mVoIP call, when a call is an initial call after power of a terminal is turned on or using the main call number, information for a call connection is acquired in advance and a light weight session is maintained. When the mVoIP call is made later, the maintained light weight session is used to make a direct P2P call. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a call connection time. As a result, a call waiting time is significantly reduced and thus it is possible to provide a rapid response and improve user satisfaction. When the light weight session is maintained, access to a separate server system is not performed. As a result, it is possible to connect a P2P call even when call traffic is heavy.

Abstract: A method for operating a communications network, in particular an Ethernet network is provided. Network devices that are coupled to the network have a switch device and a control device that is coupled to the switch device, and the switch device has at least one receiving port and a sending port for sending and receiving data via the communications network.

The invention further relates to a network arrangement having a plurality of corresponding network devices which function according to said method.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the teachings herein, a base station (20), wireless device (12), or other network node (36), determines composite dynamic subframe, CDS, information for a Time Division Duplex, TDD, carrier frequency used for transmitting one or more TDD carriers (22) of interest, from respective cells (18) in a wireless communication network (10).

Abstract: A station (STA) can receive messages (e.g., beacon frames) at a regular interval, and perform measurements on the received messages. The STA maintains a running average of recent measurement values, and updates the running average after each new measurement interval. At some measurement opportunities, the expected messages cannot be received by the STA, and so the STA cannot perform a measurement; when this occurs, the STA can choose substitute values to use for the missed measurements when next calculating the running average. As one example, the STA can substitute the value for a previously-performed measurement for the missed measurements. As another example, the STA can substitute a predetermined low value for the missed measurements. Based on the value of the running average at a given point in time, the STA can take actions such as initiating a roaming scan or switching to a different wireless interface.

The method then provides a notification of the potential congestion, if there is a potential congestion for the network element of the wireless communication network.
