Patent number: 9565587Abstract: A method and system for flow mobility filter rule verification is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a network node of a telecommunications packet network is configured to receive filter rules provided by a user entity (UE) relating to a requested IP-CAN session. The filter rules are applied by a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) network architecture for the session. The network node is also configured to compare received filter rules with Inter-Mobility Policies (IMPs) of the user in order to determine if the filter rules match with the user's IMPs, and to send a filter rule verification response indicating whether or not the filter rules match the user's IMPs.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSONInventors: Heikki Mahkonen, Teemu Rinta-Aho, Tony Jokikyyny

Patent number: 8867567Abstract: The invention provides methods method for access selection in a Multi-Access Network offering a plurality of Access Technologies (AT). The device may comprises a Multi Access Management entity (MAM) and a plurality of Generic Link Layer Entities (GLL) associated to a plurality of Accesses (A) according to said plurality of Access Technologies (AT). The access selection comprises an Access determination and an Access configuration. In a first step a Generic Link Layer Entity (GLL) determines one or more Generic Performance Metrics (GPM) corresponding to one or more configurations of the Access (A). The Generic Link Layer Entity (GLL) sends the determined one or more Generic Performance Metrics (GPM) corresponding to one or more configurations of the access (A) to the Multi Access Management entity (MAM). The Multi Access Management entity (MAM) determines from received Generic Performance Metrics (GPM), which Access (A) offers a configuration (GPM), which is suited for an application/bearer requirements.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2006Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Joachim Sachs, Per Magnusson, Mikael Prytz, Teemu Rinta-Aho

Patent number: 8665782Abstract: A method of generating network identifiers for use by mobile routers of a moving network is provided which enables fast and efficient routing loop avoidance and detection. The method comprises receiving at a mobile router of a sub-network chain, a beacon from a preceding mobile router in the chain, the beacon containing a network identifier of the preceding mobile router, generating a new network identifier by applying a pre-defined function to the received network identifier, and including the new network identifier in beacons broadcast by the receiving mobile router. When preparing for a handover, a mobile router compares the network identifier contained in a received beacon with values generated by applying said function against its own network identifier. This allows the mobile router to identify beacons originating from mobile routers that are downstream in the same chain.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Jukka Ylitalo, Patrik Salmela, Teemu Rinta-Aho, Johan Rune

Patent number: 8588751Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, device, instruction set, and signal for communicating the availability of additional information in access points relevant for determining in a mobile station which access point to connect to. An information tag is inserted into a beacon signal alerting of the additional information available; mobile stations not implemented with the present invention may operate as if the information tag was not present and thus ensuring compatibility between systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2005Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Teemu Rinta-Aho, Tero Kauppinen

Patent number: 8559434Abstract: A method of providing packet routing information comprises: encoding routing information from a source node to one or more destination nodes into a compact representation of set membership; and putting the compact representation of sets into a header of a packet that is to be sent from the source node to the destination node(s). The compact representation may be obtained by: generating d representations of a set of identifiers; generating d candidate compact representations of set membership from the d representations of the identifiers; and selecting one of the candidate compact representation of set membership. The selection may be made on the basis of which of the candidate compact representations has the lowest rate of returning false positives.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2008Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Christian Esteve Rothenberg, Petri Jokela, Jimmy Kjällman, Pekka Nikander, Teemu Rinta-Aho, Jukka Ylitalo

Patent number: 8169966Abstract: The invention deals with managing handovers between access networks in a packet data communication environment. According to the invention, the possibility to control access network resources will improve by having a mobility manager node (160) managing such handovers. The mobility manager node will decide to handover a mobile node (105) from a first access network (110) to a second access network (120) based on received information relevant to the handover process. After the decision, the mobility manager node will instruct a home agent (141) or similar node to register a new care-of address or other locator of the mobile node's point of attachment, which is valid in the second access network and which can be used for contacting the mobile node in the second access network. The mobility manager node will thereafter instruct the mobile node to de-attach from the first network and attach to the second network.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Tony Jokikyyny, Teemu Rinta-Aho
