  • Method of managing user traffic to prevent aggressive users from abusing network resources
    Patent number: 8811173
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a plurality of queues are established corresponding to each of a plurality mobiles, respectively. Data packets associated with the plurality of mobiles are received at a network element. Each received data packet is assigned to a corresponding one of the plurality of queues. A determination operation is performed on a selected one of the plurality of queues to determine whether or not to send one or more packets of each queue from the network gateway element. The determination operation is performed based on a comparison between a packet size of a head packet and an adaptive transmission threshold value associated with the selected queue. The adaptive transmission threshold value is a value that is changed based on an amount data sent from the selected queue. The head data packet being an earliest received data packet in the selected queue.

  • Method of blank-and-burst signaling
    Publication number: 20060262719
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of wireless communication on a first channel. The method may include delaying transmission on the first channel of a first frame provided by a first application based on at least one data rate associated with at least one second frame to be transmitted on the first channel. The at least one second frame is provided by a second application.
