Abstract: In order to maintain a small, stable backlog at an internet router buffer, active queue management (AQM) algorithms drop packets probabilistically at the onset of congestion. This causes Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) data flow rates to reduce. However, wireless losses may be misinterpreted as congestive losses and induce spurious reductions in flow rates. A prior art AQM with random early detection (RED), fails to maintain a stable backlog under time-varying wireless losses. However, the present invention can resolve the problem and provide a robust tracking of the backlog to a preset reference level by applying a control-theoretic vehicle, Internal Model principle, to realize such tracking. An integral controller (IC) is used as an embodiment of the principle that is robust against time-varying wireless losses under various network scenarios.

Abstract: A method for providing wireless communication between a mobile station and a network station using a context for message compression is provided. Profile-specific information is stored persistently in a profile-specific dictionary. Communication is then provided between the mobile station and the network station using the profile-specific dictionary for message compression.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for selectably deleting contents stored at a dictionary device of a sending or receiving entity. The dictionary device stores content representative of indicia associated with SIP, or other, signal protocol messages generated during operation of a communication system. A selector selects portions of the contents stored at the dictionary device to be deleted, thereby to permit additional content to be stored at the dictionary device. When separate dictionary devices are positioned at sending and receiving entities, implicit synchronous operation of selection of deletion of content at the separate dictionary devices is effectuated synchronously, but implicitly.
