  • Patent number: 9590890
    Abstract: A transfer apparatus is configured to: calculate a total cost of a first route in a first network that starts from a source transfer apparatus and ends at a destination transfer apparatus; obtain a particular cost being a cost between the source transfer apparatus and a first line, which couples the source transfer apparatus and its own transfer apparatus, in a second route, which starts from the source transfer apparatus and reaches the destination transfer apparatus via its own transfer apparatus; calculate a differential between the total cost and the particular cost; set, based on the differential, a cost between its own transfer apparatus and a second line, which couples its own transfer apparatus and the destination transfer apparatus, to a value that causes the source transfer apparatus to select the second route rather than the first route; and notify the cost value to the source transfer apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9572147
    Abstract: A method for communicating data between a base station and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications system, for example an LTE-based system. The wireless communication system uses plural frequency sub-carriers spanning a system frequency band. Physical-layer control information for the terminal device is transmitted from the base station using sub-carriers selected from across the system frequency band, for example to provide frequency diversity. However, higher-layer data for the terminal device is transmitted using only sub-carriers selected from within a restricted frequency band which is smaller than and within the system frequency band. The terminal device is aware of the restricted frequency band, and as such need only buffer and process data within this restricted frequency band during periods where higher-layer data is being transmitted. The terminal device buffers and processes the full system frequency band during periods when physical-layer control information is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 9525635
    Abstract: In a network communication apparatus, transfer and discard processing is realized for each transfer frame having a priority, and a band limitation is carried out to prevent the congestion of a transfer destination apparatus. Specifically, a bucket is provided for every priority, and tokens of an amount determined based on the priority are supplemented. Moreover, before a bucket evaluation, one shared bucket is provided. All of the tokens existing in the bucket provided for every priority are transferred to the shared bucket for every constant period. The tokens overflowing beyond a capacity of the shared bucket are discarded. All of the frames are equally evaluated and transferred regardless of the priority of each of the frames, as far as the token exists in the shared bucket. When there is no token in the shared bucket, switching to the preferential band limitation is carried out and each priority bucket is evaluated.

  • Patent number: 9479963
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a particular node in a wireless network may receive a wireless signal, and may determine whether the wireless signal is intended for itself. In response to determining that the wireless signal is intended for the particular node, the particular node may transmit a non-colliding wireless carrier sense detected alert (CSDA) signal during the received wireless signal to request that other nodes within communication distance of the particular node refrain from transmitting for a duration of the received wireless signal. In another embodiment, a node listens on a first frequency for a wireless CSDA signal regarding a second (colliding) frequency, and in response to receiving a CSDA signal, may refrain from transmitting a wireless signal on the second frequency for the particular duration, or else (if not receiving a CSDA signal), may allow transmission of a wireless signal on the second frequency, accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9438938
    Abstract: Embodiments include an overlay multicast network. The overlay multicast network may provide a set of features to ensure reliable and timely arrival of multicast data. The embodiments include a congestion control system that may prioritize designated layers of data within a data stream over other layers of the same data stream. Each data stream transmitted over the network may be given an equal share of the bandwidth. Addressing in routing tables maintained by routers may utilize summarized addressing based on the difference in location of the router and destination address. Summarization levels may be adjusted to minimize travel distances for packets in the network. Data from high priority data stream layers may also be retransmitted upon request from a destination machine to ensure reliable delivery of data.

  • Patent number: 9420347
    Abstract: A method for video playback switching in response to changing network conditions. The method includes accessing a server to retrieve respective index files for a low bit rate version and a high bit rate version of the video file, and instantiating a low bit rate media player and a high bit rate media. Playback of the video file is begun by the high bit rate media player streaming the high bit rate version from the server. Upon an indication of impeded network conditions, a transition point is selected, wherein the transition point indicates where downloading of the high bit rate version stops and where downloading of the low bit rate version begins. The low bit rate media player is then positioned to begin playback at the transition point. Playback of the video file is then switched to the low bit rate player upon encountering the transition point.

  • Patent number: 9380552
    Abstract: A method and device for detaching a user equipment (UE) are disclosed in the present invention. The UE is registered with a mobility management entity (MME) in a packet switched (PS) network and a mobile switching center (MSC) in a circuit switched (CS) network. When the UE needs to detach from the PS network, the MSC receives a Detach Request with a Detach Type indicating the detaching from the PS network only; after receiving the Detach Request, the MSC deletes the context of the PS core network entity and clears the connection between the MSC and the MME. An MME for performing UE detachment is also disclosed in the present invention. The present invention helps reduce the time delay during the subsequent handover and quickly provide users with communications services, so as to improve user's experience and meet the carriers' requirements.
