Abstract: In example implementations, a method is provided. The method detects, by a processor, an assignment of a master router role for a virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP), a protocol independent multicast (PIM) designated router (DR) role for a PIM protocol, and a querier router role for an internet group management protocol (IGMP) to different routers in a network. A communication procedure is initiated to identify which routers of the routers are assigned to the master router role, the DR role and the querier router role. The master router role, the DR role and the querier router role are then automatically aligned to a single router of the routers via an ordered communication exchange.

Abstract: A domain and a mobile device may exchange data via a radio access node included in a mobile network. During a time of peak demand, a data load level of the radio access node may exceed a threshold. To accommodate the peak demand, historical types and volumes of data may be used to manage a data rate related to data associated with the domain. Based on the historical information, the data rate for a mobile device, a radio access node, a range of time, or a data type may be controlled. The data rate may be managed by a network gateway, such as a gateway included in the mobile network.

Abstract: A telecommunication system uses a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm based on current load conditions for controlling transmissions to a plurality of access modules of an access node in order to achieve a fair allocation of network bandwidth at the access node. As an example, access modules at an access node communicate via a control channel with dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) logic that receives load information from each of the access modules. Using such load information, the DBA logic dynamically controls the upstream data rates so that a fair allocation of network bandwidth is achieved across all of the access modules. Specifically, the data rates are controlled such that packet flows for services of the same class achieve the same or similar performance (e.g., average data rate) regardless of which access module is receiving each respective packet flow.

Abstract: Techniques for scrambling sequence generation may provide scrambling for a reference signal, a control signal, or a data signal that is independent of a center frequency of a wireless system bandwidth.

Abstract: The reduction of multicast traffic collisions is facilitated. A device that is associated with a multicast group receives a multicast message requesting re-transmission of an acknowledgment message from the device. The multicast message includes information identifying the device within the multicast group of devices. In response to the device being determined to be identified by the information, the acknowledgement message can be re-transmitted after a defined transmit delay period after receipt of the multicast message. The defined transmit delay period can be based on the number of devices in the multicast group, based on the number of previous re-transmissions by the device and/or based on the number of devices for which re-transmission is requested.
Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for adaptively adjusting the power level of a wireless transceiver and a cellular transceiver in a telecommunications device to correspond to the usage and data throughput of the device. The device can also dynamically enter different modes of operation based at least in part on network activity data usage on a wireless data network provided by the telecommunications device. By controlling the power levels, the power usage of the device can be reduced in order to increase efficiency of battery usage.
