Abstract: A method serves to compose a VPN (Virtual Private Network) over a plurality of networks, each of which is managed by a different Internet Service Provider (ISP). When a packet with a first capsule header used for composing a VPN in a first ISP network is transmitted to a second ISP network, a route for outputting the packet to the second ISP network is determined based on the information both in the capsule header and in the IP header. In addition, a second capsule header used for composing a VPN in the second ISP network is determined based on the above information.

Abstract: A subchannel scheduling method in a multi-user MIMO-OFDM environment modifies proportional fairness scheduling specifications and maximizes a system throughput under conditions that a minimum data transmission rate required by a multimedia user be ensured. In a method for allocating subchannels in a wireless network, plural users are subscribed in the wireless network, a base station has NT transmission antennas, a user i has NR reception antennas, a network capacity determined by the NT transmission antennas and K subcarrier groups is divided into K transmission subchannel groups, and a network bandwidth determined by the NT transmission antennas is divided into the K subchannel groups. The base station sequentially allocates channels to the users on the basis of a proportional value of a data transmission rate supported to each user and an average throughput of each user in a predetermined time and a service quality required by each user.

Abstract: A session QoS control apparatus includes a session management database in which session management information per user terminal is stored, a user preference database in which user preference information representing the user state and QoS requirement associated with the identifier of a user communication terminal is stored, and a user communication terminal and router management database in which mapping between a user terminal and a network node to which the terminal is connected is stored. Upon receiving user session information, the apparatus analyses the user session information by referring to the session management and user preference databases and determines a QoS policy for the session between caller and callee terminals. From the user communication terminal and router management database, the apparatus retrieves a node on which the session QoS policy should be set and transmits a QoS command to the node to set the session QoS policy on the node.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method building a handover system to improve the service quality in mobile networks. When a mobile node has received a plurality of care-of addresses, it will send a Prepare Multi-path (PM) message to a correspondent node. Once receiving the PM message, each router replaces the old input label in the PM message with a new input label, and then sends it to the next router. Each router adds a new item into the Split Path Table based on the received message. After sending the PM message, the mobile node sends a Request Multi-path (RM) message to a correspondent node. Each MPLS core router decides whether to stop the RM message or not when the RM message is received. If it is yes, the corresponding input label will be split and the generated data packet will be transmitted to two paths from this router. One is the path in the network where the mobile node has been located, another one is a new path in the visiting network.
