Abstract: In some implementations, a device may partition a coverage area associated with a network to form one or more geographic sectors, and may determine a pathloss value for each frequency band of multiple frequency bands and a spatial distribution between cells, within the geographic sector, for each frequency band. The device may determine a degree of contiguous coverage for each frequency band within the geographic sector based on the pathloss value and the spatial distribution between cells for that frequency band, and may determine, based on the degree of contiguous coverage for each frequency band, a specific frequency band, of the multiple frequency bands, to be used as a primary carrier for carrier aggregation in the geographic sector. The device may output information that identifies a carrier aggregation profile that indicates the specific frequency band to be used as the primary carrier for carrier aggregation in the geographic sector.

Abstract: An automatic response service supported on an application server that interoperates with an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) core network is configured to dynamically generate responses to unanswered incoming telephone calls to a user's computing devices that are customized for the calling party based on monitored activities of the user, device capabilities and state, and related context. The automatic response service can monitor the user's interactions across a range of computing devices to identify a device with which the is actively engaged. Data from device registrations with the IMS core network can indicate current device capabilities and device state such as peripheral device configuration and network connectivity. Along with call data such as caller ID, the monitored user activities and device information enable the service to automatically respond to incoming calls on behalf of the user with information that is meaningful and contextually-relevant to the calling party.

Abstract: A device, method, and computer readable storage medium for routing in a computational grid arranged in a fat-tree, including performing preprocessing, performing base path routing to determine rules for routing in switches based on stored switch level, switch group, links between switches, links between switches and hosts, and fat-tree type, and performing run-time processing, including detecting a path fault, and determining at least one redundant path for the path fault. The base path routing determines a first routing rule that specifies a certain destination in every switch. The run-time processing further performs searching for a first match between a packet and a source-destination pair, and when the first match is not found, performs searching for a second match between the packet and the first routing rule that specifies the certain destination. By using routing rules that specific a destination, the routing in a computational grid can significantly scale up.

Abstract: Systems and methods address automatic reconfiguration of one or more access points (APs) within a wireless local area network (WLAN). The disclosed automatic reconfiguration may take place responsive to detection of a wired uplink failure of an AP. For example, the device experiencing failure may establish a wireless communication path to use as a mesh link with a remote wireless access point. Depending on network configuration type, a master in a master/slave configuration or a controller may direct the remote wireless access point to become a mesh portal to support the newly established mesh link. As a result, support of network communication for the plurality of wireless remote clients of the AP experiencing failure may be continued by the failed AP. Reconfiguration may take place without interruption of services for client devices or forcing client devices to form a new network association with a different AP.

Abstract: Virtual machine environments are provided in the switches that form a network, with the virtual machines executing network services previously performed by dedicated appliances. The virtual machines can be executed on a single multi-core processor in combination with normal switch functions or on dedicated services processor boards. Packet processors analyze incoming packets and add a services tag containing services entries to any packets. Each switch reviews the services tag and performs any network services resident on that switch. This allows services to be deployed at the optimal locations in the network. The network services may be deployed by use of drag and drop operations. A topology view is presented, along with network services that may be deployed. Services may be selected and dragged to a single switch or multiple switches. The management tool deploys the network services software, with virtual machines being instantiated on the switches as needed.

Abstract: This application provides a communication method and a communications apparatus. A terminal in an inactive state receives a paging message, and content in the paging message is determined. When the content includes a first identity of the terminal, the terminal sends a first request message to a first access network device, where the first request message carries a non-access stratum (NAS) identifier of the terminal. When the content includes a second identity of the terminal and an identity of an anchor access network device, the terminal sends a second request message to the first access network device. The second identity of the terminal identifies the terminal on the anchor access network device, and the identity of the anchor access network device identifies the anchor access network device in an access network. The communication method of is application can adapt to a communication requirement of a terminal in an inactive state.

Abstract: Technologies for applying a scrambling function in unfair load balancing scenarios include a network device having a communication circuitry and compute engine executing software on the network device. The compute engine is to determine, using a load balancing function, a distribution for data sets to each of multiple bins. Each bin maps to a destination. The network device determines, as a function of the distribution, an unfairness score indicative of the distribution being unequal among each of the destinations. In response to a determination that the unfairness score exceeds a specified threshold, the network device enables a scrambling function to be performed during configuration of the plurality of bins with the destinations.

Abstract: A wireless mesh network includes a plurality of nodes coupled together in parent-child relationships. A child node is configured to cascade listening rate changes upstream to a parent node to perform low-latency communications. The child node transmits an authentication message to the parent node indicating the listening rate change. The child node sets a timer and waits for an acknowledgement from the parent node. If the child node receives the acknowledgement, then the child node and the parent node change listening rate to permit low-latency communications. In addition, if the parent node loses network access, the parent node sets a timer and then waits to abandon the child node until after the timer elapses.

Abstract: A wireless mesh network includes a child node coupled to a parent node. The parent node transmits time sync beacons that indicate a time slot number and a start time for a current time slot. The child node receives the time sync beacons and determines a delta between the current time slot number of the child node and the current time slot number of the parent node. The child node also computes an offset between a start time of the current slot of the child node and the start time of the current slot of the parent node. The child node reports the delta and the offset to the parent node. Based on the delta and the offset, the parent node determines when, and on what channel, the child node is predicted to be receiving transmissions, and then schedules transmissions to the child node accordingly.
