Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes selecting at a network device, seed access points from a plurality of access points and assigning each of the seed access points to a wireless network controller. The seed access points join the assigned wireless network controllers before the remaining access points join the wireless network controllers. Each of the remaining access points is associated with one of the seed access points and joins the same wireless network controller as the seed access point. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a frame switch of an AFDX network in which the data acquisition application is decentralized. When the switch has to acquire the data transmitted on a virtual link, the switching table contains, apart from the input port and the output port (s) taken by this link, an ID representing the MAC address of the switch. The frames of this link are then not only switched but also transmitted to the network interface of the switch and processed by a dedicated application (DDA), hosted inside the switch. This application can be interrogated by a remote server and transfer the data that it has stored locally.

Abstract: A method of controlling data packet congestion in a data packet network comprises determining a reference flow condition that results in data packet congestion at a node of a data packet network, and identifying a data packet flow having a flow condition substantially equal to the reference flow condition. For such an identified data packet flow the following actions are taken causing a data packet to be dropped from the identified data packet flow, allowing a predetermined number of data packets from the identified data packet flow to proceed, and dropping data packets from the identified data packet flow subsequent to the predetermined number of data packets, until the packets that were not dropped have been delivered to the egress ports of the network.

In the method orthogonal resources are allocated for signalling within a coordination area including at least two radio service areas based on a first resource pattern. Orthogonal data communication resources are allocated within a radio service area of the coordination area based on a second resource pattern.

Abstract: A network device stores back-off definitions for different service categories of machine-type communications (MTC). The network device receives a service connection request originating from a wireless terminal and identifies the service connection request as a MTC request. The network device identifies an available bandwidth capacity for at least one portion of a network associated with the MTC request and determines, when the available bandwidth is below an admission threshold capacity, an admission control level for the MTC request. The admission control level is selected from a group of different admission control levels. The network device calculates a retry interval for the MTC request based on the determined admission control level for the MTC request and the available bandwidth capacity, and sends the retry interval with a response for the MTC request.
