Abstract: Delay in the allocation of resources can be measured for a set of sequential requests for the resources. A start time for the receipt of the first request of the set can be recorded, followed by the incrementing of a request start time counter, with the current time minus the recorded start time, for each subsequently received request. A total time counter can be incremented, with the current time minus recorded start time, for each request allocation, and a request counter can be incremented for each request allocation. When determining that all received requests have been allocated, and decrementing the total time counter by the request start time counter, it is possible to determine an average delay time from the total time counter value divided by the request counter value.

Abstract: A system for integrating wireless service providers' core networks with Wi-Fi radios using a Wireless Services Gateway (WSG). The WSG can allow wireless device users to seamlessly connect to a network such as the internet using both cellular phone antennae as well as Wi-Fi radio antennae while still utilizing their preferred wireless service provider's core network system of billing, authenticating and policy decision making. This system can allow for data transmission of wireless devices through Wi-Fi instead of through cellular antennae, thus increasing bandwidth and data transmission rates.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to payload storage format for storing data in support of an aggregation function. As an input is subject to aggregation, the input is evaluated to ascertain a payload format for the aggregation. It is understood that there is more than one payload format. An evaluation of the aggregation key is a factor in the initial payload format. If the key is an addition to an existing aggregation, the evaluation considers changing the format of the payload to address processing and/or memory efficiency for the aggregation. The evaluation and the format change takes place dynamically so that the aggregation may continue.

Abstract: A GTP correlation cluster (GCC) can automatically program a network element to forward copies of packets originating from a mobile device and having a shared attribute to the same analytic server, regardless of the regions into which the mobile device moves. The GCC can monitor attributes of copies of control packets that the network element receives. In response to detecting a changed attribute within a control packet originating from a mobile device, the GCC can update a session map specific to that mobile device in order to cause packets having that changed attribute to be forwarded to the same port to which packets having the former attribute were being forwarded prior to the change. As a result, the network element can ensure that packets belonging to a particular session still are forwarded to the same analytic server even if the mobile device has moved to a different region.

Abstract: Various methods of allocating uplink control channels in a communication system are implemented at a resource scheduler or a user equipment (UE). In one method the scheduler reserves resources for a downlink data channel and signals a corresponding downlink data channel grant and also reserves resources for a persistent uplink control channel for a longer duration than the data channel grant. Signaling overhead associated with a grant for this persistent uplink control channel is reduced over a full dynamic grant. A predetermined rule can be used at the scheduler and at the UE to avoid overhead signaling associated with a grant for this persistent control channel. Predetermined rules at the UE and scheduler can also be used to reserve appropriate resources and select appropriate MCS levels for control information and the control information and uplink data can be transported over a common uplink channel when a time overlap occurs between an uplink data channel and the persistent control channel.
