Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a method and a test system for establishing an over-the-air communication connection between a device under test and a mobile communication tester. A simulated network is provided by using the mobile communication tester. The device under test is activated and a search for the simulated network to connect to is initiated by the device under test. Configuration data of the simulated network are submitted to the device under test by using the mobile communication tester. A communication connection is established between the device under test and the simulated network based on the configuration data submitted.

Abstract: An example method for extracting traffic scenarios from vehicle sensor data is disclosed. The example method includes acquiring vehicle data generated by one or more sensors coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle data is at least partially indicative of the surroundings of the vehicle during a particular time frame. The vehicle data is analyzed to identify objects in the surroundings of the vehicle and to determine the motion of the vehicle relative to the surroundings during the particular time frame. A plurality of events are defined, each indicative of a relationship between the vehicle and the objects. A scenario is defined as a particular combination of the events. Portions of the vehicle data in which the combination of elements occurs during a time interval are identified, and at least some of the identified data is extracted to a predefined data structure to create an extracted scenario.

Abstract: Techniques for intelligently managing a virtual private network (VPN) gateway in a cloud computing system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an instance of a VPN gateway can query whether a logic lock on a network address is maintained by another instance via periodic renewal. In response to receiving a query result indicating that a logic lock on the network address is lost by the another instance, the instance can migrate a VPN connection originally handled by the another instance from the another instance to the instance such that a private network is connected to the instance via the migrated VPN connection to reduce downtime for accessing computing resources in the cloud computing system.

Abstract: An application, peer and method for determining a faulty peer in a structured Peer-to-Peer overlay network. The overlay network includes plural peers besides the faulty peer. The method includes determining that a message sent from a given peer to a target peer along a first path did not reach the target peer; determining an intermediate peer at which the message had arrived; using a second path to send the message from the given peer to the target peer; determining that the message had arrived at the target peer on the second path; adjusting a node identifier (nodeID) of at least one of the target peer and the intermediate peer to obtain a new target peer or a new intermediate peer; and reusing the first and second paths to send the message to the new target peer or the new intermediate peer until the faulty peer is detected.
