Abstract: A method and a wireless device (100) for handling transmission of data. The cost for transmitting the data from the wireless device (100) can be reduced or even minimized by delaying (1:3) transmission until the transmission cost becomes lower, provided that the data can wait without becoming obsolete or useless at the receiving side. This is made possible by determining a delay tolerance of the data and determining a cost prediction for transmission (1:6) within said delay tolerance, e.g. when a cheaper connection (1:4) is used. Advantages may include reduced price to pay for the transmission, less energy consumption, and avoided usage of precious radio resources and network resources at times when the traffic load is high.

Abstract: An enforcer application is configured to intercept signaling messages in a telecommunications network and select an optimal SGW, PGW, SMF/UPF and application servers in real time. More specifically, the enforcer intercepts and generates GSM MAP, Diameter, GTP-C and HTTP2/JSON signaling messages.

Analyzer and KPI metrics databases are installed at central data centers to collect the KPI data from different probes and enforcer, calculate in real-time the optimal routing path with different decision factors considered, and interact with enforcer to update the latest optimal path status based on the data collected.

Abstract: Client and server devices identify each other over a LAN or similar network through a series of unicasts. Rather than broadcasting a service announcement or discovery request as a broadcast or multicast, for example, a device instead transmits a series of unicast messages using a finite set of recipient network addresses and port numbers. Responses to the unicast messages can be collected and tracked to thereby allow subsequent communications to occur via unicasts with only the recognized addresses, with a multicast to only the recognized addresses, and/or otherwise as desired. By allowing the clients and servers to communicate with a finite set of unicast messages, a “broadcast” type message can be sent on the network without a need for router configuration. Moreover, unicasts can be sent using different protocols (e.g., TCP) than the subsequent traffic (e.g., UDP), thereby making discovery of compatible devices on the network more reliable.
