Abstract: The use of wireless backhaul poses special challenges for in-vehicle base stations. Users that are connected to an in-vehicle base station expect continuous service, even as the in-vehicle base station passes in and out of different wireless backhaul coverage zones, such as when a train passes from a train station with good coverage to a tunnel with poor coverage. The base station thus needs seamless backhaul handover. A system that enables an in-vehicle base station to receive continuous service across different backhaul coverage zones is needed. To solve this problem, a system enabling handover is described. The system involves double-tunneling mobile device data packets in an ESP-UDP IPsec tunnel encapsulated in a GTP-U tunnel. Traffic is transmitted from a mobile device to a specially configured base station that encapsulates mobile device data packets and sends them to the network via wireless backhaul using an LTE UE modem connection.

Abstract: A processor executes instructions stored in non-transitory memory storage to receive a pattern query for a graph and determine a set of access constraints corresponding to the pattern query. A determination is made whether the pattern query is effectively bounded under the set of access constraints. A query plan is formed to retrieve a subgraph of the graph when the pattern query is effectively bounded under the set of access constraints. The answer to the pattern query is obtained by accessing the at least one subgraph in response to the query plan.

Abstract: A processor executes instructions stored in non-transitory memory to determine whether a query to big data is bounded evaluable, or may be rewritten to access a bounded amount of data or information in a dataset. A query plan may retrieve the information by using indices in access constraints of the query. The cost associated with obtaining the information by using the query plan may be dependent on the query and access constraints and not the size of the dataset. A query plan to obtain the information may be formed for different types or classes of queries, such as conjunctive queries (CQ), unions of conjunctive queries (UCQ) and positive existential FO (first order) conjunctive queries (?FO+). When a query is not bounded evaluable, a determination is made whether an approximation to the information may be retrieved. An approximation may be obtained by using upper and lower envelopes or specialized queries.
