Patent number: 9781622Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for making network optimization decisions based on observed network node performance information. Network nodes may continuously report performance measurement information to network servers. Observers may request registration with the servers and access to the mode measurement information. The observer may specify a measurement threshold that, when met, causes the server to report node measurement data to the observer. The node measurement data enables the observer to make network optimization and control decisions. An optimal radio frequency might be selected; a node might switch between different gateways or cause a handoff from one gateway to another for efficient traffic routing. A user could observe measurement data for friends and receive notice when friends are in close proximity or engaged in like activity such that a social contextual community might be formed.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Johanna Nieminen, Markku Anttoni Oksanen, Teemu Ilmari Savolainen, Jussi Ruutu

Patent number: 8447715Abstract: In one or more embodiments described herein, there is provided an apparatus comprising a substrate, and a plurality of carbon nanotubes (semiconducting nano-elements) disposed and fixed with said substrate. The nanotubes are disposed and fixed on said substrate such that they define a carbon nanotube network substantially at the percolation threshold of the network. As the network is at the percolation threshold, this provides for one or more signal paths extending from an input region to an output region. The apparatus is configured to, upon receiving particular input signalling via the input region, provide particular predefined output signalling at the output via the one or more signal paths, the particular output signalling being predefined according to the one or more one signal paths.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Markku Anttoni Oksanen, Eira Seppälä, Vladmir Ermolov, Pirjo Pasanen
