  • Patent number: 8904343
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adding services to an application platform via an extension platform coupled to the application platform. The application platform runs in a first operation system process and provides a number of resources. The extension platform is implemented in a second operation system process and communicates with the application platforms via standard inter-process communication protocols. The extension platform provides an environment to dynamically model and host application services. A resource abstraction layer provides the extension platform with access to the resources provided at the application platform. The resources are utilized by the extension platform to design and to execute the application services. The application services hosted in the extension platform are centrally managed and administered from the application platform via exposed interfaces.

  • Patent number: 7844817
    Abstract: A network access device checks communication data flows coming into a network for specific authorization information. The quality of service class (QOS) with which a flow is retransmitted from the network access device through the network is determined by the result of the check. Each end device that transmits a flow to the network access device can first request authorization for the flow from a gate keeper and resource manager mechanism of the network. The mechanism returns specific authorization information which the end device includes in the flow before the flow is transmitted to the network access device. In one embodiment, only if an incoming flow is determined to have the specific authorization information will the network access device allow the flow to be retransmitted through the network with a particular quality of service (QOS) class.

  • Patent number: 7359320
    Abstract: The method is essentially carried out by a gateway device, which is logically divided up into a gateway controller and one or, if required, more user data gateways. Quality of service signaling is evaluated by the gateway controller and, depending thereon, quality of service information is transferred to a user data gateway. Specific quality of service properties of connection segments coming into and/or going out from the user data gateway are evaluated by the user data gateway and, depending thereon, a quality of service setting is carried out according to the transferred quality of service information.
