  • Patent number: 9225613
    Abstract: A method for accessing content in networks, preferably in wide area networks, includes: determining a resource for content by a resource identifier; sending a DNS-query for resolving an IP-address for a host identifier specified as a part of the resource identifier by a client; determining a preferred hosting server hosting the content according to the resource identifier; sending a DNS-response including the IP-address of the determined hosting server to the client; accessing the content from the determined hosting server by the client by providing at least one hosting server identifier or one IP-address corresponding to the resource identifier to a sorting server; sorting the at least one hosting server identifier or IP-address by the sorting server according to client specific information or according to network guiding information provided by the client, determining a preferred hosting server according to the sorted at least one hosting server identifier or IP-address.

  • Publication number: 20150101009
    Abstract: For allowing a simple and reliable differentiation of UEs behind a GW from an AF side a method for providing access of an User End device (UE) to a service provided by an Application Function (AF) within a network structure is claimed, wherein the UE is authenticated by a Gateway (GW) to which the UE is attached and which provides access to the AF via a Broadband Access Network (BB Access Network).

  • Patent number: 8661109
    Abstract: For allowing an enhancement of diversity of network applications in a simple way a method for operating a network, especially an IP (Internet Protocol) network, is claimed, wherein a local network is in connection with the network via a gateway and wherein a UE (User Equipment) of the local network is performing a session setup by communicating with a functional entity of the network in order to communicate with or to start a UE-related and/or session-related application. The method is characterized in that the application is communicating with a local network controller, wherein the network controller is receiving a UE-related and/or session-related parameter (LID—Local Identifier) from the application for locating a UE and/or a specific session within the local network based on the received parameter. Further, an according network is claimed, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method.

  • Publication number: 20140047018
    Abstract: For allowing a reliable and high performance of a network, a method for operating a network is described, wherein the network includes a server and at least one client for communication with the server, an application computation or operation will be performed by the server and the result of the application computation or operation will be displayed at the client. The method is characterized in that a network element will be provided for use by the client, wherein the network element performs at least one application computation or operation on behalf of the server. Further, a corresponding network for carrying out the above mentioned method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8458743
    Abstract: For allowing large numbers of users to receive targeted TV advertisements during advertisement breaks without requiring unicast content transmission a method is provided for distributing TV content over a network, especially an IP network, wherein the TV content includes a main content and an advertisement content and wherein a multicast address on which a TV channel for the main content is distributed within the network is transmitted to a user as a connectivity information. The method includes the step of transmitting further connectivity information to the user, the further connectivity information depending on at least one advertising segment of the advertisement content which the user is requesting or which the user is assigned to. Further, a system for distributing TV content over a network, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method is also described.
