Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system of fate sharing segment protection. In one embodiment, this can be accomplished by monitoring the infrastructure segments, detecting a fault at the infrastructure segment, provisioning protection group between the source node and the destination node as outer work and outer protect (Outer Protection Group, OPG), and between at least two intermediate nodes as inner work and inner protect (Inner Protection Group IPG) and provisioning at least one supplementary outer protect on the same port of the OPG nodes where the OPG is provisioned, such that the outer supplementary protect diverge in such a way that mirrors the behavior (or shares the fate) of the inner work and inner protect.

Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for monitoring a paging message in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. An M2M device receives a paging setup for initiating an idle mode from a base station. The paging setup includes information indicating a paging cycle, a first paging offset, and a second paging offset. In the idle mode, the M2M device monitors the transmission of a paging message at the first paging offset of the paging cycle. If the paging message is not received at the first paging offset, the M2M device monitors the transmission of the paging message at the second paging offset of the paging cycle.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system in which a base station and a terminal communicate, the base station effectively transmits control information for the terminal. The base station that communicates with the terminal by using resource elements configured with OFDM symbols and subcarriers, and resource block pairs configured with a predetermined number of resource elements includes a second control channel generation unit that generates a second control channel which is transmitted by using a reference signal of an antenna port different from an antenna port of a first control channel. The second control channel is configured with predetermined E-REGs, and transmitted to the terminal, by using one or more E-CCEs. The resource block pair is configured with a predetermined number of E-REG sets. The E-REG set is configured with a predetermined number of the E-REGs. The E-REG is configured with a predetermined number of resource elements.

Abstract: Measures for controlling communication access in a data center network are provided. A packet forwarding function in a server in a data center network is configured to access an access control data store when making forwarding decisions for received data packets which are being routed to/from virtual systems hosted on that server. In response to receipt, at the server, of a setup notification relating to setup of a virtual machine on the server, one or more entries are populated in the access control data store. The entries comprise an internet protocol (IP) address of the virtual system and at least one associated IP address of one or more other communication endpoints.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a forwarding element that inspects the size of each of several packets in a data flow to determine whether the data flow is an elephant flow. The forwarding element inspects the size because, in order for the packet to be of a certain size, the data flow had to already have gone through a slow start in which smaller packets are transferred and by definition be an elephant flow. When the forwarding element receives a packet in a data flow, the forwarding element identifies the size of the packet. The forwarding element then determines if the size of the packet is greater than a threshold size. If the size is greater, the forwarding element specifies that the packet's data flow is an elephant flow.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and user device for transmitting first ACK/NACK information on a first cell group including a primary cell and one or more secondary cells from among a plurality of serving cells on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) of a specific cell in the first cell group, and to a method and base station for receiving the first ACK/NACK information on the PUCCH of the specific cell. When the first ACK/NACK information includes only ACIQNACK for the primary cell, the specific cell is the primary cell, and, when the first ACK/NACK information includes ACK/NACK on at least one of the one or more secondary cells, the specific cell is a secondary cell from among the one or more secondary cells of the first cell group that is set for the ACK/NACK transmission.

Thus, four signal lines can provide three differential signals, where the virtual differential signal is bidirectional. The virtual differential signal can be provided over one or more of the other physical communication channels. Additional configurations allow for providing a bidirectional DC power supply. Additional configurations allow for providing DC power in addition to data over a reduced number of lines. Selective switching of signal lines can allow backward and forward interoperability with other standard interfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detection of repair nodes in a network. In one embodiment of the method, a first node generates a first message and a second message, wherein each of the first and second messages includes a first node identification (ID) that uniquely identifies the first node within a network.

Abstract: Power consumption in a receiving device is avoided by receiving packets from a transmitting device in a first band of frequencies (such as around 60 GHz) and providing acknowledgments in a second band of frequencies that is different than the first band of frequencies (such as around 5 GHz). These out-of-band acknowledgments may allow the receiving device to avoid transmissions in the first band of frequencies and the associated power consumption. Moreover, the transmissions by the transmitting device in the first band of frequencies and the second band of frequencies may be synchronized so that packets are transmitted in the first band of frequencies when transmission in the second band of frequencies is enabled. In these ways, this communication technique may improve the performance of the transmitting device and the receiving device.

Each of the two or more paths couple at least one member of a team of network resources of the computer system to the core network. Each of the members of the team is configured to receive network management frames transmitted by one or more devices residing near or within the core network. A break in the connectivity between a path of the network segment and the core network is detected whenever the at least one member of the team coupled to that path fails to receive an expected one of the network management frames within a predetermined time period.

Abstract: The techniques and/or systems described herein implement a network management service configured to read and write a state of a network for various applications (e.g., network management applications) so that the applications can operate independently. The network management service is configured to read an observed network state and provide the observed network state to the applications. Subsequently, the network management service receives proposed network states from the applications and uses a state dependency graph to determine whether state conflicts exist between the proposed network states. The network management service also determined whether defined policies are violated by the proposed network states. Finally, the network management service is configured to generate a target network state by merging non-conflicting proposed network states that comply with defined policies and to update (e.g., write) the network state based on the generated target network state.
