Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of operating a radio access node (10) adapted to handle multiple bearers, a related radio access node (10), a method of operating a network control node (36) adapted to control the radio access node (10) handling multiple bearers, a communication system adapted to control multiple bearers, a computer program and a computer program product. Multiple bearers comprise a first packet switched bearer related to a voice service and at least one second packet switched bearer. Upon change of an operative condition for a first packet switched bearer a transfer of a voice service is initiated (S10) from the first packet switched bearer to a circuit switched bearer. This is followed by a decision (S12) on initiation of a handover for the second packet switched bearer, parallel to the transfer of the voice service, from a first packet switched access to a second packet switched access based on bearer control information indicating possibility of a parallel handover.

Abstract: A digital signal processor (300), compatible with the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), permits reading and writing of IQ data of antenna carriers which have two different sampling rates by using just two single sample rate DMA (Direct Memory Access) modules (306,313). The digital signal processor (300) is capable of processing data of different sampling rates on just one CPRI lane comprising one framer (302). This is achieved by incorporating a divider module (307) and a multiplexer module (314) between the framer (302) and system memory (309, 315). The processor (300) may also be configured so that single sampling rates can also be accommodated.

Abstract: A first node receives information associated with a mobile station to allow for establishment of a session for the mobile station that is attached to a first wireless access network in a first service domain. In response to the received information, the first node sends messaging to a home agent in a second service domain that is of a different type than the first service domain. The first node receives, from the home agent, an Internet Protocol (IP) address allocated to the mobile station in the second service domain, where the IP address is allocated in response to the messaging, and where services provided to the mobile station are anchored in the second service domain.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes network packets on an electronic device. During operation, the system obtains, on the electronic device, an outgoing rate of the network packets from a network interface queue on the electronic device to a network link. Next, upon detecting a transmission of the network packets from an application on the electronic device to the network interface queue, the system uses the electronic device to allocate a proportion of the outgoing rate to the application based on a number of applications transmitting network packets from the electronic device to the network link. Finally, the system uses the allocated proportion of the outgoing rate and the network interface queue to transmit network packets from the application to the network link.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a discovery protocol allowing nodes that are interested in knowing a network topology to discover other nodes in the network topology. The discovery protocol includes two message types, topology discovery messages and topology query messages. A node issues topology discovery messages upon powering up, at periodic intervals, or upon detecting a change in network topology. The topology discovery messages are broadcast to all nodes on a network and identify the issuing node to the network. A topology query message is sent to a particular node and requests a response from the receiving node regarding the neighboring nodes of the receiving node. The querying node can use the response data to discover other nodes and to send the discovered nodes query messages such that the node can determine a network topology to a desired level of depth within the network.
