Patent number: 9473409Abstract: An overlay network, node and application for load balanced service discovery. The application includes the steps of implementing the service discovery mechanism in the DHT P2P overlay network for finding a peer (1100) that provides a desired service; a step of adding to a record structure (50) of the service discovery mechanism a maximum capacity parameter Cmax (54) and a currently used capacity parameter Ccurrent (56); and a step of removing from the tree (10) a record of the peer (1110) that provides the desired service when the currently used capacity reaches a predetermined capacity so that the peer is not contacted by other service clients.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: TELEFONAKETIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSONInventors: Jouni Mäenpää, Jani Hautakorpi, Jaime Jiménez

Publication number: 20160241440Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing network management information to a manager node in a distributed communication network. An agent node in the distributed communication network receives a Distributed Hash Table overlay stabilization procedure message. The overlay stabilization procedure message includes an instruction for the agent node to send network management information to the manager node. The agent node then sends network management information to the manager node.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2013Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventor: Jaime JIMÉNEZ

Publication number: 20160198430Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a node 2 comprised in a communication network 1. The method comprises obtaining a set of coordinates of a coordinate system used by the communication network, which set of coordinates specifies a geographical position held by the node. The method also comprises obtaining a first identifier for the node. The identifier comprises at least a part of the obtained set of coordinates such that the identifier can specify to the communication network a first geographical area in which the node is positioned. The method also comprises uploading data to a server 3 comprised in the communication network, said data being associated with the obtained identifier when uploaded to the server. The first identifier can thus specify to the network, such as other nodes in the communication network, a geographical area in which the node is positioned/located. The geographical area may be of any size, but includes the place where the node is positioned.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2013Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Jaime JIMÉNEZ, Petri JOKELA, Heikki MAHKONEN

Patent number: 9338527Abstract: One or more aspects of the disclosure relate to various functions and processes related to routing of calls originating from other service providers. For example, a method includes receiving a request to route a call or a call session, such as a session initiation request, from a second service provider and proceeding to route the requested call or session through a call routing facility of the first service provider to a requested destination of the call. Routing the call through the call routing facility may include determining a service provider type and/or an origination number type for the call, determining routing information for the call using the type information, and causing routing of the call to a destination of the call based on the routing information. Further aspects of the disclosure relate to various functions and processes related to accessing routing data and/or information from a routing database.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Arvind Kaushal, Jon Boone, Sohel Khan, Louis Rubin, Brett Sherman, Jaime Jimenez
