Abstract: A reproduction speed of an application being executed is controlled with changing an upper limit of accumulation of a jitter buffer based on a radio state during communication by a first wireless communication network. If it is determined to start handover preparation from the first wireless communication network to a second wireless communication network, a preparation time before handover and an absolute delay time of each of the first wireless communication network and the second wireless communication network are obtained from the handover control unit. Based on such information obtained and a data amount in a jitter buffer at a time when it is determined to start the handover preparation, the reproduction speed of the application being executed is controlled to be slowed down. Thereby, it is possible to perform handover to a different wireless communication network without deteriorating reproduction quality and real-time property.

Abstract: A mobile station (MS), a base station (BS), a transmission method and a computer storage medium thereof are provided. When the MS requests a bandwidth from the BS, it may generate a selected transmission sequence and a quick access message. The selected transmission sequence comprises pre-defined bit information (e.g., a flow identification, a size of the bandwidth or the like), and the quick access message comprises a station identification of the MS. The MS may transmit the transmission sequence and the quick access message to the BS in a frame so that the BS may allocate the bandwidth to the MS according to the size of the bandwidth, the station identification and the flow identification. Thereby, the amount of the control signals needed when the MS requests a bandwidth from the BS may be decreased.

Abstract: In radio communication, especially in a centralized network, a commonly faced problem is the issue of the coexistence between a plurality of networks and different networks use different network timing parameters with no synchronization to one another. Thus, a device of one network usually has a difficulty in communication with a device of another network whether or not both are in a radio communication range. This results in causing unwanted mutual interference because when two or more networks operate in the same operation space, a device belonging to a certain network has a difficulty in letting a device belonging to another network know about the existence of the device belonging to the certain network.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for managing routing to redundant data centers. Each data center has an associated traffic management device (TMD) that manages traffic with at least one server. The TMDs may determine a priority for the data centers, and advertise that priority, along with other configuration information, to at least one designated router. The configuration information includes a Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address that is identical for each of the TMDs. Based on the advertised priorities the designated router routes network traffic to at least one of the data centers. Each TMD monitors a variety of criteria to determine if it is appropriate to change the priority of its associated data center to the designated router. If a data center's priority changes, the associated TMD advertises the change to the designated router, enabling it to dynamically update its routing tables to direct traffic towards a different data center.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate scheduling uplink transmissions. For instance, a time sharing scheme can be utilized such that differing mobile devices can be scheduled to transmit during differing time slots; however, it is also contemplated that a static scheme can be employed. Pursuant to an illustration, an interference budget can be combined with a time varying weighting factor associated with a base station; the weighting factor can be predefined and/or adaptively adjusted (e.g., based upon a load balancing mechanism). Moreover, the weighted interference budget can be leveraged for selecting mobile devices for uplink transmission (e.g., based at least in part upon path loss ratios of the mobile devices). Further, disparate interference budgets can be utilized by differing channels of a sector at a particular time. Also, for example, a base station can assign a loading factor to be utilized by wireless terminal(s) for generating channel quality report(s).

Abstract: In a data communications system a scheduler device and multiple client devices communicate with each other over a data communications network. The scheduler device assigns a portion of the system's client devices one or more data rate multiplier values that individually affect a maximum throughput associated with their respectively assigned modulation and coding scheme (MCS). The data rate multiplier value assignment is selected by the scheduler device based on a type MCS or a signal interference plus noise ratio (SINR) value. The assigned data rate multiplier values may result in a hybrid throughput scheduling scenario amongst the client devices.
