  • Publication number: 20230070455
    Abstract: Devices, methods, apparatus and computer readable storage media for service management in a communication system are provided. The method comprises determining, at a first device, a set of candidate service providers for providing a service to a second device in place of a current service provider based on a mapping between the second device and a plurality of service providers having an ability to provide the service (310) and transmitting a message indicating the set of candidate service providers to the second device (320). In this way, an optimized function maintenance solution under service-based system architecture can be realized, thereby enhancing network stability and improving system performance.

  • Publication number: 20220377579
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, device and computer readable medium for controlling network functions. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, network functions can be updated dynamically by establishing a new interface between NRF device and a management device. Thus, more flexible network functions are achieved. Further, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a solution is proposed to enable dynamic controlling in 5G Service-Based Architecture to provide appropriate continuous service automatically.

  • Patent number: 8966091
    Abstract: The present invention provides with a method of distinguishing a plurality of calling UEs sharing a PUID in a calling S-CSCF of IMS network and the device thereof. When a calling UE using a shared PUID in the calling-party network requests to establish a session with some called UE in the called-party network, the calling S-CSCF adds a extension identification corresponding to the calling UE into the session request message from the calling UE and sends the session request message with the extension identification added therein to the called UE in the called-party network, such that the called UE may realize which one is the actual calling UE according to the extension identification in the session request message and the shared PUID used by the calling UE. Therefore, after completion of such session, the called UE may re-establish a session with the calling UE according to the extension identification of the calling UE and the shared PUID thereof.

  • Patent number: 8422368
    Abstract: A call admission control method can ensure the admission rate of the high priority business, and simultaneously greatly improve the admission rate of the low priority business. The occupied bandwidth of currently admitted business flows of a WiMAX network is denoted by ?bi,max, a bandwidth threshold of a base station system is denoted by bth, a total bandwidth that the base station system can distribute to users is denoted by btotal, applied minimum and maximum bandwidths are denoted by bN+1,min,bN+1,max, respectively for a new arrival (N+1)th business flow. When ?bi,max+bN+1,max?bth, the base station system will directly admit a request of an (N+1)th business flow. When ?bi,min+bN+1,min>btotal, the base station system will directly refuse the request of the (N+1)th business flow. When ?bi,max+bN+1,max?bth and ?bi,min+bN+1,min?btotal, comparing an admission rate P with a random number ? to determine whether a new arrival (N+1)th business flow is admitted or not.

  • Patent number: 8150159
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an identifying method of hand-written Latin letter. The present invention considers many hand-written styles of Latin letter, extract many stable characteristics of Latin letter of different hand-written styles, and classify the Latin letter aggregation each time with one characteristic, so that the whole standard Latin letter aggregation is classified into many small Latin letter aggregations with intersection to be the coarse classification candidate letter aggregations to be identified. When identifying the inputted hand-written Latin letter, obtain the coarse classification candidate letter aggregation that matches with the characteristics of the inputted hand-written Latin letter. Many stable characteristics ensure the identifying rate. The multilayer coarse classification candidate letter aggregations regulate the searching path and increase the identifying speed.
