  • Patent number: 10481935
    Abstract: A virtual server for executing a communication process is implemented on virtualization resources without being inefficient even when different virtualization resource management schemes are included. A management system included in a mobile communication system is configured to include an NFVI which is virtualization resources including a physical server in which a VNF to execute a communication process is generated and includes a VNFM for managing the VNF, a VIM for managing the virtualization resources of the NFVI, and an orchestrator for managing all the virtualization resources of the NFVI, wherein the orchestrator includes a virtual server generation request section configured to input detailed information for implementing the VNF retained by the VNFM, rewrite the input detailed information according to a virtualization resource management scheme by the VIM, and request the VIM to generate the VNF.

  • Patent number: 10481953
    Abstract: Leakage of detailed information for implementing a virtual server to execute a communication process on virtualization resources is prevented. There is provided a management system (10) included in a mobile communication system (1) configured to include an NFVI (60) which is virtualization resources including a physical server generated by a VNF (70) to execute a communication process, and the system includes a VNFM (30) for managing the VNF (70), a VIM (40) for managing the virtualization resources of the NFVI (60), an orchestrator (20) for managing all the virtualization resources of the NFVI (60), wherein the VNFM (30) includes a retention section (31) configured to retain detailed information for implementing the VNF (70) and a virtual server generation request section (32) configured to request the VIM (40) to generate the VNF (70) using the detailed information.

  • Publication number: 20140045537
    Abstract: An apparatus for energy efficient location sensing of a mobile device, said apparatus comprising: An orientation sensing module for sensing the orientation of said mobile device; one or more location sensing modules for sensing the location of said mobile device, a control module for controlling said orientation sensing module such that it repeatedly senses the orientation of said mobile device, wherein said control module controls said one or more location sensing modules such that at least one of said one or more location sensing modules is switched on if said sensed orientation indicates an orientation change of said mobile device, wherein the frequency with which said orientation sensing module senses the orientation of said mobile device is changed depending on the time in accordance with the behaviour pattern of the user of said mobile device such that at a time where the behaviour pattern corresponds to a lower activity the sampling frequency is lower and at a time where the behaviour pattern correspon

  • Publication number: 20060155827
    Abstract: To improve consistency of software update in an ad-hoc network, it is proposed to prepare a transition from an initial software configuration to a target software configuration in a first step (S10). Before deciding on commitment to the new software configuration, there is executed a step (S12) to evaluate at least one reconfiguration result achieved at a further mobile device in the ad-hoc network. On the basis of this further reconfiguration result it may be decided whether after commitment to the new software configuration consistency of software versions may be maintained within the ad-hoc network. If this is not the case, e.g., due to a failure of software update in one of the mobile devices, a fallback to the initial software configuration is executed.
