Abstract: A method of managing bandwidth resources provided by multiple network interfaces is proposed. When one or more network interfaces provide network bandwidth resources, a bandwidth manager manages all available bandwidth resources based on a list of decision criteria. The list of decision criteria includes energy efficiency, network throughput, channel condition, device mobility, and user preference. An application traffic flow distributor dynamically adjusts the amount of traffic flows on different network interfaces according to the joint decision based on the decision criteria. A network interface manager dynamically enables or disables each network interface according to the joint decision based on the decision criteria. Furthermore, a device movement analyzer analyzes and predicts device movement to facilitate accurate decision making of the bandwidth management.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to measure, estimate throughput of wireless network for traffic offload. In one novel aspect, the UE determines the association status of a radio access network (RAN). The UE measures or estimates the end-to-end throughput of the RAN. In one embodiment, non-intrusive estimation by QoS probing request is used. In another embodiment, direct measurement with modeling is used. The modeling uses admission control/scheduling. In another embodiment, estimation or probing the metrics with or without modeling is used with either in-band probing or non-intrusive probing. In yet another embodiment, the throughput is obtained based on network signaling messages. In another novel aspect, the UE selects a dynamic measurement or estimation algorithm based on the association status and the QoS type of the traffic. Admission control procedure or binary admission procedure is used with the initial bandwidth request based on association status.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing platinum nanoparticle solution and a self-assembled platinum counter electrode thereof. The present invention adopts a polyol reduction method and controls the reduction reaction periods under various pH conditions. After the platinum nanoparticle dispersion solution of uniformly distributed platinum nanoparticles having small sizes is produced, the self-assembled platinum nanoparticles are adsorbed on a functionalized surface of a conductive substrate by dip coating at the normal temperature. Therefore, the structure of a platinum nanoparticle monolayer is formed, to obtain the self-assembled platinum counter electrode with a homogeneous single layer on the surface. This process is much simpler without adding any stabilizers or surfactants, without involving any subsequent heat treatments, and it consumes less amount of the platinum material.
