Abstract: Techniques for routing communication sessions are described. According to various embodiments, a set of routing paths are available for routing a communication session across a network. For instance, the routing paths represent Label Switched Paths (LSPs) across a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. According to various embodiments, attributes of a communication session are leveraged to identify a routing path for routing the communication session. According to various embodiments, performance degradation in a communication session across a particular routing path is detected such that a replacement routing path is selected.

Abstract: A method of a base station (BS) of a carrier aggregation (CA) is provided. The method includes determining whether a mobile station (MS) concurrently uses a first cell associated with a first carrier frequency and a second cell associated with a second carrier frequency, and controlling a handover of the MS using a measurement configuration set corresponding to a result of the determination among a plurality of measurement configuration sets that are set for each of handover related events.

Abstract: One disclosure of the present specification provides a method for receiving interference cancellation.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for communicating over a wireless communication network are disclosed herein. One method includes selecting one of a plurality of allocation schemas for allocation of wireless resources to wireless communication devices. The method further includes generating an allocation message comprising an identifier of the selected allocation schema and one or more allocations of wireless resources according to selected allocation schema. The method further includes transmitting the allocation message to one or more wireless communication devices.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods are disclosed that include identifying a next hop from a focus device in a path of interconnected devices including switching and routing devices, wherein a switching device operates according to a switching address protocol and a routing device operates according to a routing address protocol. The methods may include, for a focus device which is configured to receive traffic addressed to a terminal destination and to act as a routing device, dispatching a query message containing a query key based on an identifier for the terminal destination from a management computer to the focus device to identify the next routing address; receiving a result message containing a new routing address; and ascertaining from the new routing address the corresponding switching address, wherein the switching address is usable in a query key for a query directed to a focus device which is a switching device.

Abstract: A network controller as well as a method in a network controller for coordinating resource assignments to radio access points of a superdense, SDN, network is provided. The method comprises identifying a set of radio access points in the SDN network whose respective radio resource assignment is to be independently coordinated. The method also comprises obtaining interference information indicative of the extent to which radio transmissions to or from different radio access points in the set would interfere with one another absent radio resource assignment coordination. The method then forms subsets of the radio access points in the set based on this obtained interference information. The method also assigns different subsets of radio resources to the different subsets of the radio access points, and reports assignment information to the radio access points in the set, indicating the assignment of radio resources.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods include querying a traffic forwarding table at a device in a computer network, the traffic forwarding table having entries which are accessible using a key. The methods further include identifying a forwarding address for use in querying the traffic forwarding table, where the forwarding address constitutes only part of a key and where a remaining part of the key is an embedded index in the traffic forwarding table. The methods additionally include combining the forwarding address with a plurality of embedded indices of the traffic forwarding table to generate a set of keys for querying the traffic forwarding table; and generating a query message for the forwarding table using at least one of the set of keys.

Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving from a wireless device a request for a network connection and facilitating, in response to the request, a communication session between a wireless access node in communication with the wireless device and a packet data network. Control signals are exchanged between a second network device and a packet data network gateway. The second network device includes a mobility anchoring function and operating in an evolved packet core of a long term evolution system. Eligibility of the wireless communication device to participate in a direct tunnel connection is determined, the direct tunnel allowing transfer of user data packets between the wireless device and packet data network to bypass the mobility anchoring function. Establishment of the direct tunnel connection is facilitated to transfer multiple user data packets between the wireless device and the packet data network.
