Abstract: Embodiments relate to reducing logging entries based on contents are disclosed. According to the embodiments, the logging entries are converted into an image with pixels whose values are related with the log content and the image size is reduced by applying an image processing technology. The reduced image is converted back to the log entries. In this way, the number of logging entries is reduced without losing important information.

Abstract: A method for scheduling communication traffic in an Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture based equipment and a corresponding apparatus are provided. In the method, communication traffic information of traffic processing means in the equipment is collected; based on the collected communication traffic information, a traffic distribution rule for the traffic processing means in next time period is generated; and based on the generated traffic distribution rule, incoming communication traffic of the equipment is scheduled. The method of the invention considers the quality of service and contracted capacity of the whole equipment and the dynamic processing capability and running environment of the traffic processing means, and can balance the loads of the respective traffic processing means in the equipment with asymmetric multi-application configuration well by adaptively adjusting the distribution of the communication traffic, to guarantee the quality of service of the whole equipment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for handover of a mobile terminal from a first network to a second network, a network element, a mobile terminal, a base station and a communications system as well as a computer program product and a storage medium. The method comprises the steps of: determining a WDP including an unnecessary handover probability and a missing handover probability according to conditions of the first network and the second network; detecting at least of the following: whether the unnecessary handover probability is greater than the missing handover probability, whether the unnecessary handover probability is greater than a specific threshold and whether the missing handover probability is smaller than a specific threshold; and making a handover decision based on the detection result. The present invention can select a more suitable target network for handover at a more suitable time, thus ensuring the continuity of a mobile user's call.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for detecting a duplicate address, a mobile station, a network element for controlling access of a mobile station to a wide area network and a communication network comprising a mobile station and at least two network element, wherein said mobile station is moving from a second access network pertaining to a second network element into a first access network pertaining to a first network element.

Abstract: A scheduling technique useful in a mesh network includes scheduling a selected amount of traffic in the mesh network using a linear program approach that minimizes a time for the selected amount of traffic to reach its intended destination. The linear program is subject to a plurality of constraints that insure that the selected amount of traffic will reach its intended destination within the minimized time. An example is disclosed that uses such a technique for a mesh network having a root node that is a base station for wireless communications and a plurality of child nodes that comprise subscriber stations. A disclosed example is useful for centralized scheduling in a Wimax mesh network.
