Abstract: Data traffic routing and/or transmission parameter adaption decisions are made at a sending node by considering error patterns of one or more possible receiving nodes at the bit level. Data traffic routing and/or transmission parameter adaption decisions may be used to preemptively prevent data errors from occurring as data traffic is transmit by a sending node. The error pattern information may include information on numbers of bit errors in a code word or information on relative randomness or burstiness of bit error patterns at the one or more possible receiving nodes. The collaboratively shared error pattern information may be determined and updated over time intervals or upon selected conditions occurring. In one embodiment, a next hop node may be determined using bit error patterns of neighbor nodes. In another embodiment, transmission parameter adaption or channel selection may be determined using bit error patterns.

Abstract: This disclosure addresses improving the reliability of network connections between nodes, detection of failures of network connections, and the reduction of control packets exchanged between nodes. A second node may stop sending control packets to a first node causing a reduction in network throughput and increased network capacity. The network connection from the first node to the second may be of a first type and the connection from the second node to the first node may be of a second type. When a failure of the connection of the first type occurs, communication of the failure may be sent in a flag from the second node to the first node using the second type. A response to the flag received at the first node may be sent to the second node. The response may be sent using the second type of network connection because the first type failed.

Abstract: A gateway receives a message from a first terminal to establish a connection between the first terminal and a second terminal. The gateway sends a second message to the second terminal to offer a connection. After receiving the first message from the first terminal, the gateway receives subsequent third messages from the first terminal that identify candidates for assisting in the formation of the connection. The gateway saves information about these candidates. The gateway either uses such information for facilitating the formation of the connection or forwards that information to the second communication terminal after receiving an answer accepting the establishment of a connection from the second terminal and determining whether the second terminal has a WebRTC client.
