  • Providing a data function in an access gateway node
    Patent number: 10575309
    Abstract: An access gateway node couples a control node to an external data network, where the control node and access gateway node are for use in a wireless communications network. The access gateway node comprises a data function to route packets containing traffic data between the control node and the external data network. An interface to the control node enables exchange of control messages between the data function and a control function in the control node.
    Type: Grant

  • ASSIGNING WORK TO A PROCESSING ENTITY ACCORDING TO NON-LINEAR REPRESENTATIONS OF LOADINGS
    Publication number: 20130007764
    Abstract: To perform load balancing across plural processing entities, load level indications associated with plural processing entities are received. The load level indications are representations based on applying a concave function on loadings of the plural processing entities. A processing entity is selected from among the plural processing entities to assign work according to the load level indications.
