Publication number: 20150109955Abstract: According to an embodiment, a network device coupled to a local base station at a cell site is configured to automatically create a more optimal route for inter-base station traffic between the local base station and a remote base station. The network device automatically discovers a remote Internet Protocol address of the remote base station used for inter-base station traffic based upon traffic transmitted by the local base station to the network device or traffic transmitted between the local and remote base stations. In response, the network device automatically installs the more optimal route entry in a routing table of the network device, which enables the network device to route inter-base station traffic originated from the local base station and destined to the remote base station using a shorter path through the backhaul network instead of routing the traffic through a mobile core network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Andrew Wilkinson, Nayil Kavak, Stefan Behrens

Publication number: 20150109994Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for automatically creating a network route using a discovered IP address includes a first network device creating a connection-oriented interface with a first radio base station (RBS) for exchanging packets originating from the first RBS destined for the first network device, and for exchanging packets originating from the first network device destined for the first RBS, by receiving a first HELLO packet originating from the first RBS destined for the first network device, and transmitting a first HELLO packet destined for the first RBS. The method includes receiving, via the connection-oriented interface, a first CONNECT packet from the first RBS, the first CONNECT packet including a first IP address of the second RBS. The method includes creating a first network route between the first RBS and the second RBS using the first IP address included in the first CONNECT packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Andrew Wilkinson, Stefan Behrens

Publication number: 20140293774Abstract: For performing link adaptation in an Ethernet ring protection system, a link management controller (180) determines a ring protection state of an Ethernet protection ring. Further, the link management controller (180) adapts bandwidth of a link (25) of the Ethernet protection ring. Depending on the adapted bandwidth and the determined ring protection state, the link management controller (180) deactivates the link of the Ethernet protection ring. In particular, if the adapted bandwidth is below a threshold value and the ring protection state indicates that there is no link failure in the Ethernet protection ring, the link management controller (180) may deactivate the link (25).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2011Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Stefan Behrens, Jüergen Bos

Publication number: 20130258855Abstract: The invention relates to an Ethernet ring node (100) comprising a plurality of ports including at least two ring ports and at least one non-ring port. The Ethernet ring node comprises a multicast list including information on which port multicast traffic belonging to a multicast group should be sent. A control unit is provided configured to control a traffic distribution of multicast traffic to the different ports of the Ethernet ring node based on the information provided in the multicast list. Furthermore, a detector is provided detecting a topology change of the Ethernet ring in which the Ethernet ring node is provided. When such a topology change is detected, all multicast traffic is transmitted to the at least two ring ports for a predefined period of time, and multicast traffic transmitted to the non-ring ports is transmitted in accordance with the information provided in the multicast list.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2010Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Juergen Bos, Stefan Behrens

Publication number: 20020047244Abstract: A rear axle of a motor vehicle has a guide rod assembly. The guide rod assembly is constructed from two wheel-bearing trailing links which run parallel to one another and are joined together in the area of the ends furthest away from the wheels by a cross member that is rigid, yet has a high degree of torsional flexibility. Two swivel bearings, which are located at a certain distance from one another are provided for mounting the guide rod assembly on the motor vehicle body. The guide rod assembly is mounted on the motor vehicle body by an essentially vertical lever arm to avoid a longitudinal displacement of the rear axle despite the non-rigid design of the bearing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2001Publication date: April 25, 2002Inventors: Stefan Behrens, Edison Fatehpour

Patent number: 4779585Abstract: A hydraulic-damping engine mount includes a working chamber having a given diameter and a compensating chamber. A rigid intermediate plate is disposed between the chambers. A conical jacket-like rubber-elastic wall has relatively smaller and larger diameter ends. A metal bearing plate is disposed at the smaller diameter end and at least partly defines the working chamber along with the intermediate plate and the wall. The intermediate plate has an overflow opening formed therein interconnecting the chambers. A rigid plate in the form of a circular disk has a diameter smaller than the given diameter. The rigid plate is disposed in the working chamber parallel to the intermediate plate and is rigidly connected to the bearing plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1987Date of Patent: October 25, 1988Assignee: Metzeler Kautschuk GmbHInventors: Stefan Behrens, Manfred Hofmann
