Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate identifying peers based upon encoded signals during peer discovery in a peer to peer network. For example, direct signaling that partitions a time-frequency resource into a number of segments can be utilized to communicate an identifier within a peer discovery interval; thus, a particular segment selected for transmission can signal a portion of the identifier, while a remainder can be signaled based upon tones communicated within the selected segment. Moreover, a subset of symbols within the resource can be reserved (e.g., unused) to enable identifying and/or correcting timing offset. Further, signaling can be effectuated over a plurality of peer discovery intervals such that partial identifiers communicated during each of the peer discovery intervals can be linked (e.g., based upon overlapping bits and/or bloom filter information).

After receiving the second resource request message, the PDN GW policy and charging control (PCC) rules to be used by the UE in the 3GPP access system so as to create the resources used by the UE in the 3GPP system.

Abstract: A method and a network device for managing Diameter routing are disclosed in the communication technology. The network device avoids frequently sending a Diameter message on a faulty routing. In the method: a network apparatus receives a first Diameter message configured to be delivered to a destination node.

The network apparatus sends the first Diameter message through the primary routing if the routing status of the primary routing is normal. The network apparatus sends the first Diameter message through an alternative routing from the network apparatus to the destination node if the routing status of the primary routing is faulty.

Abstract: An approach to computation of kernel descriptors is accelerated using precomputed tables. In one aspect, a fast algorithm for kernel descriptor computation that takes O(1) operations per pixel in each patch, based on pre-computed kernel values. This speeds up the kernel descriptor features under consideration, to levels that are comparable with D-SIFT and color SIFT, and two orders of magnitude faster than STIP and HoG3D. In some examples, kernel descriptors are applied to extract gradient, flow and texture based features for video analysis. In tests of the approach on a large database of internet videos used in the TRECVID MED 2011 evaluations, the flow based kernel descriptors are up to two orders of magnitude faster than STIP and HoG3D, and also produce significant performance improvements. Further, using features from multiple color planes produces small but consistent gains.
