Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a system and method for dynamically duplicating network packets onto a reliable link. Network devices can be connected by a primary link and by a secondary link. As the network quality of the first link degrades, the system can adaptively duplicate network packets onto the second link. As a high priority link, the secondary link can have less total bandwidth when compared to the primary link. Accordingly, all the traffic traversing the primary link may not be able to be duplicated onto the secondary link to preserve network reliability when the quality of the first link degrades. The present solution can effectively manage the bandwidth of the secondary link and set duplication rates that control the duplication of the packets onto the secondary link.

Abstract: For a flooded packet transmitted from a first base to a second base connected to a transport network, a first edge node in the transport network first sets path selection information for selecting a return path for transmitting a packet from the second base to the first base, and then transmits the packet to the second base via the path configured in advance. When receiving the flooded packet, a second edge node selects the return path on the basis of the path selection information from a plurality of path candidates configured in advance between the first base and the second base and learns the path in association with information indicating the transmission source.

Abstract: A cross-layer security scheme can be used for a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) antenna-based large-scale multihop mobile ad hoc network (MANET) with a set of frequency-nonselective, slow/Rayleigh fading, and uncoded channels along with interference combining both physical, link, and higher layer encryption techniques for the payload in addition to signaling. Furthermore, MIMO-aware cross-layer secure MANET physical and key-based logical hierarchical routing proving scalability can be used. Security can be provided in Multi-Hop MIMO MANETs in Physical, medium access control (MAC), and internet protocol (IP) Routing layer. The MIMO-aware MANET IP Routing can include two kinds of routing: Physical Routing such as secure ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (SAODV) in the access MANET and Secure Key-based distributed hash table (DHT) “logical” routing in the backbone MANET. Both security and performance metrics can be employed to improve (e.g., optimize) both network secrecy and throughput/bandwidth capacity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a failure in a PDP context or an EPS PDN connection. A chip incorporated within or coupled to a device receives from the device a call control PDP context activation type event or a call control EPS PDN connection activation type event. The chip receives from the device an updated value relating to an HFN start PS. The chip compares the last updated value relating to the HFN start PS to a predetermined value relating to the HFN start PS. If the last updated value relating to the HFN start PS is greater than or is less than/equal to the predetermined value relating to the HFN start PS, then the chip detects that the PDP context or the EPS PDN connection has been successfully or unsuccessfully activated respectively.
