Abstract: Techniques are described for supporting Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) link aggregation groups (LAGs) between a server and a data center switch in a data center. The techniques enable an access switch in the data center switch to assign class identifiers to each member link in an FCoE LAG between an FCoE node (Enode) of the server and the access switch. In this way, the access switch is able to redirect FCoE traffic from a Fiber Channel forwarder (FCF) of a storage area network (SAN) toward the Enode on the correct member link of the FCoE LAG. The techniques also enable scaling of FCoE initialization protocol (FIP) and FCoE sessions by installing FIP snooping filters that use on a source media access control (MAC) address hit determination in ingress filter processors (IFPs) of the access switch to avoid session limitations of virtual local area network (VLAN) filter processors (VFPs).

Abstract: The invention provides duplexing apparatus, wireless devices and methods for duplexing signals in which measurements are taken at multiple frequencies across a frequency band of interest, and in which a balancing impedance is controlled as a function of those measurements. Isolation between the RX and TX nodes is enhanced across the frequency band as a result.

Abstract: A receiver for a wireless device. A channel estimation module is configured to calculate a first channel estimate on a first tone of a data packet and calculate a second channel estimate on a second tone of the data packet. A phase roll estimation module is configured to calculate a conjugate of the second channel estimate and calculate, using the first channel estimate and the conjugate of the second channel estimate, an estimate of a phase roll caused by an error in symbol timing of the data packet. The phase roll corresponds to a difference between phases across adjacent tones of the data packet. The phase roll estimation module is further configured to calculate, based on the estimate of the phase roll, a timing advance to be applied to the symbol timing of the data packet. The timing advance corresponds to a number of samples of the data packet.

The device may remove the second group of entries from the data structure.

Abstract: A single channel full duplex wireless communication system includes a processor, a transmitter, a receiver, a secondary transmission path, a combining element, a primary transmission feedback path and a secondary transmission feedback path. The transmitter transmits a transmission signal via a transmission path. The receiver receives a received signal via a reception path. The transmitter and the receiver utilize one channel to transmit and receive signals. The transmission signal causes self-interference. The processor estimates a first transfer function and feeds the secondary transmission path with the transmission signal adjusted by the first transfer function to reduce the transmission signal leaked to the reception path. The combining element combines the transmission signal with the adjusted secondary transmission path signal to remove the self-interference. The primary transmission feedback path output is modified by a second transfer function.

Abstract: A data communication system pre-registers User Equipment (UE) to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) tracking area in an LTE network before the UE attaches to the LTE network. A voice communication network receives a release message for a user voice session and responsively transfers a pre-attachment message to an MME in the LTE network comprising a UE Identifier (ID), a serving base station ID, and an indication that the UE will attach to the LTE network. The MME processes the base station ID to select an LTE network Physical Cell Identity (PCI), processes the LTE network PCI to select an LTE tracking area, and pre-registers the UE ID to the selected LTE tracking area. An LTE base station receives an attachment request from the UE based on the LTE network PCI and responsively attaches the UE to the LTE network without performing a tracking area update.

Abstract: Contact information in SIP signaling messages is modified at each in-path network device during the signaling process (along with storage of mapping information) to allow the in-path network devices (and proxy server) to identify the next (or previous) hop device in the path, and thus, maintain the path taken by signaling messages early on during the signaling process. Subsequent request and response signaling messages transmitted during the session follow this path, which ensures that the in-path network devices remain in the SIP signaling path.

Abstract: A combinational service is made enjoyable on the terminal of a user of a communication network in a simplified way.

Abstract: A hierarchical protocol classification and signaling method specifies the interworking protocols used to send circuit-switched signaling messages to and from a mobile terminal in a packet-switched network. A set of possible interworking protocols are divided into two more classes that correspond to different types of interworking protocols. Within each class, different versions of the interworking protocol are specified by a revision value. The versions of the interworking protocols within a given class are may be denominated such that the versions with a higher revision value are backward compatible with versions having a lower value. When a circuit services domain message is sent from a sending device to a receiving device, an interworking option specifying the class/revision of the interworking protocol is transmitted along with circuit services domain messages. The interworking option may be inserted into the header of a tunneling packet containing the circuit services domain message.
