  • Patent number: 7558204
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system, device, method and computer program product for controlling the flows of a plurality of Data Units (DUs) over logical links, the system comprising at least two first-type Link Control (LC) entities (40-1a . . . 40-8a), wherein each first-type LC entity transforms a first-type DU into a second-type DU and vice versa, and provides a first interface (43-1 . . . 43-8a) for the first-type DUs and a second interface for the second type DUs, and a second-type LC entity (5a) with interfaces (50-1a . . . 50-8a) for the second-type DUs, wherein the second interface of each of the first-type LC entities (40-1a . . . 40-8a) is directly connected to one respective interface (50-1a . . . 50-8a) of the second-type LC entity (5a), and wherein the second-type LC entity (5a) comprises a flow control device (52a) for separately controlling the respective flows of the second-type DUs, which are transferred over its respective interfaces (50-1a . . . 50-8a).

  • Publication number: 20060095546
    Abstract: A system and method for maintaining the configuration of a server within a network. After daemons are initiated, it is determined whether network interfaces are available. If network interfaces are available the available network interfaces are automatically configured. It is then determined whether infrastructure exists. If no infrastructure is detected, then an enhanced socket operation is initiated until a router advertisement is received. Once a router advertisement is received, available network interfaces are configured as necessary.

  • Publication number: 20050100021
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for data transmission in a wireless packet-switched data system that requires the definition of a transmission order of a data packet of a first data flow and a data packet of a second data flow. In the method, the transmission order of the data packets is defined on the basis of at least one classification parameter attached to them. The parameters defining the quality-of-service classes of the first and second data flows are checked according to the classification parameter. The data packet of the data flow having the higher quality-of-service class is transmitted first.

  • Publication number: 20050043028
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supporting a data exchange between terminal equipment and a mobile communication network via a mobile terminal. The method comprises at the mobile terminal receiving from the terminal equipment a request to establish a connection to the mobile communication network for exchanging data and forwarding this request to the mobile communication network. The method further comprises in case a failure occurs concerning the requested connection and an indication of a cause of the failure is received at the mobile terminal from the mobile communication network, forwarding the indication to the terminal equipment. The invention relates equally to a corresponding mobile terminal, to a corresponding terminal equipment, to a corresponding system and to a corresponding software program product.

  • Patent number: 5809066
    Abstract: An arrangement for enhancing data transmission in a digital cellular radio network, including a radio data terminal (A), a network terminating unit (IWF) connected to a mobile exchange (MSC) and including a data modem (MOD1), and a remote data modem (MOD2). The radio data terminal (A) and the remote data modem (MOD2) include features for providing data compression and decompression. The digital transmission connection between the radio data terminal (A) and the data modem (MOD1) is a non-transparent asynchronous data connection of a cellular radio system, over which compressed data is transmitted using the error correction of the cellular system. The error correction protocol of the remote modem is used for the transmission of compressed data over the modem connection between the data modem (MOD1) and the remote data modem (MOD2).
