Abstract: In a method for improving call performance of a mobile device, the strength of received signals is sent to a base station when the mobile device receives signals from the base station. The method obtains a path balance value sent by the base station, and determines whether the path balance value is greater than a predefined threshold value. The path balance value is obtained according to the strength of the received signals of the mobile device and an emission intensity of the mobile device. When the path balance value is greater than the predefined threshold value, the method obtains a transmitting power of the mobile device, and increases the transmitting power of the mobile device according to the path balance value to improve call performance of the mobile device.

Abstract: The Packet Control Function (PCF) has limited knowledge about the nature of the packet data arriving on a bearer path connected via the Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN), and cannot make an intelligent decision on its own as to how best to handle the packet data. Thus, the PDSN provides bearer-specific information by classifying the priority of received packet data; encapsulating the packet data within the payload of a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) frame; and for high priority packet data i) setting a protocol type field in the header of the GRE frame indicating said packet includes an attribute field; and ii) adding an attribute field to the payload of the GRE packet which provides an indication of said high priority data. Furthermore, the PCF can send an A-11 request to the PDSN indicating the features that the PCF is requesting the PDSN enable.

Abstract: The invention provides for the management of wireless resources, which can reduce call blocking by allowing high priority services, under suitable conditions, to use resources allocated to low priority services. Thus high priority services can pre-empt the usage of wireless resources by low priority services. This has the advantage of reducing call blocking for high priority calls, while permitting low priority calls to have more access to radio resources than conventional systems with the same call blocking rate. Thus a base station can implement a preemption mechanism that would reclaim Walsh Code and Forward Power resources from an active Supplemental Channel (SCH) burst in order to accommodate incoming Fundamental Channel (FCH) requests.

Abstract: A user terminal device, a server device, a system and a method for assessing quality of media data are described. The user terminal device is used for extracting artefact features from the media data and for communicating the features to the server device which is then used for determining a quality score using the artefacts and an artefact/quality score database accessible by the server device. The score, transmitted to the user terminal device, is presented to a user from which a subjective quality score and a request for re-determination are received which the user terminal device communicates to the server device. This in turn is used for re-determining the quality score and for transmitting back the re-determined quality score wherein the quality score is re-determined using the received artefacts, the received subjective quality score and the artefact/quality score database.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method of identifying malicious websites. The method includes: filtering a target website using a local website-filtering list; if the target website is not on the local website-filtering list, filtering the target website using a server website-filtering list. The present disclosure also discloses, based on the above-described method, a system for identifying malicious websites. By using the disclosed malicious website identifying method and system, the number of times needed to access a network to identify malicious websites can be reduced effectively. That is, the number of times that the identification calculation is performed by a network server can be reduced and, thus, increasing the speed of the identification process and reducing network traffic. As a result, the efficiency of the malicious website identifying process can be improved.

Abstract: Because of the encoding, decoding, and/or transmitting characteristic, the blocks affected by packet defect usually gather in a small spatial/temporal area. The viewers perception of each affected block will influence by other affected block in this small area. The invention proposes using processing means for clustering blocks affected by the packet loss into at least one cluster, for using at least one of spatial and temporal characteristics of the at least one cluster for determining a visibility value of the at least one cluster, for classifying the at least one cluster as belonging into one of at least two different class candidates, wherein each class candidate is associated with a different weight; for weighting the determined visibility value with the weight associated with the class of the at least one cluster, and for assessing the degradation of the video using a sum of the weighted visibility value.

Abstract: A method and system of detecting website visit attempts by browsers includes monitoring networking operations generated by a client and intercepting a network address associated with the networking operations, detecting a type of website from the intercepted network address, and determining that a browser on the client has attempted to visit a website of the detected type based on the browser being in a running state and a website identified as historically visited by the browser matching the detected type of website. This can allow for the accurate detection of a browser's attempt to visit a restricted website, thereby accomplishing accurate monitoring of networking activities of the browser and enhancing the accuracy of subsequent prompting or intercepting of the networking activities of the browser.

Abstract: A method and system for coordinated interference suppression in a communication system. The communication system implements at least a first radio access technology via a first base station and a second radio access technology via a second base station. The first and second radio access technologies differ from one another. Information relating to an interference signal received at the first base station via the first radio access technology is received at the second base station from a first device associated with the first base station. At a second device associated with the second base station, an interfering user equipment accessing the second base station via the second radio access technology is identified. The identification is based on the information received from the first device associated with the first base station. Interference caused by the identified interfering user equipment is suppressed by the second base station.
