Abstract: A first flowlet of a flow from a source network device to a destination network device is assigned to a first path of a plurality of paths between the source device and the destination device. The assignment of the first flowlet to the first path is made by a network connected device. A second flowlet is detected in response to an interruption in transmission of the flow due to congestion along the first path, wherein the interruption is longer in duration than a difference in a transmission time between the source network device and the destination network device along each of the plurality of paths. The second flowlet is assigned to a second path of the plurality of paths by the network connected device. According to some example embodiments, the second path is randomly selected from the plurality of paths.

Abstract: A method for bandwidth management in a wireless network having wireless field devices (FDs) wirelessly coupled to a wireless access point associated to a wireless gateway. A first bandwidth usage percentage (BUP) consumed by the wireless access point and wireless router(s) is calculated from summed connected device weights. In response to a new FD or wireless router requesting to be connected to the network, a second BUP is calculated that would be consumed by the wireless access point and the wireless router(s) if the new FD or wireless router were connected to the wireless network. If the second BUP is not less than respective BUP thresholds, the new FD or router is prevented from being connected to the network. Disclosed bandwidth management can also be applied if an already connected FD in the network changes its path from one router or access point to another connected router or access point.

Abstract: A transmission of information from a secondary to a primary node occurs in a plurality of transmission instances which are logical time durations. A secondary node receives an allocation of periodic transmission instances for a scheduling request indicator (SRI) and an allocation if periodic transmission instances for a sounding reference signal (SRS). In a particular transmission instance allocated for the transmission of both SRS and SRI, the secondary node transmits the SRI without transmitting the SRS if the SRI indicates a pending scheduling request; otherwise, the secondary node transmits the SRS without transmitting the SRI.

Abstract: The application relates to the problem that when an HeNB switches off (HeNB1-3) while connected via a proxy (PR) as mentioned by Release 11 of 3GPP TR 37.803 to a peer X2AP entity, the X2AP entity in the HeNB can not inform its peer (eNB1) that it is no longer reachable. The problem is solved in that when the proxy detects the disconnection of the SCTP connection (SCT-P1-3) between the HeNB and itself, it transmits an X2AP STOP message to the eNB (eNB1), whereby this message indicates the end of the SCTP connection (SCTP1-3) and identifies the HeNB.
