Abstract:
The embodiments herein relates to a method in a first network node for handling operation mode of a base station in a communications network. The communications network comprises a transport network. The first network node activates a Remote Unit-Main Unit, RU-MU, operation mode in the base station when data traffic load in the transport network is below a first threshold. The first network node activates a regular operation mode in the base station when the data traffic load in the transport network is above a second threshold.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a to a receiving network node, a transmitting network node and to methods therein. In particular, it relates to controlling of caching information for a radio bearer for a UE located in a wireless communications network. The receiving network node (100) controls caching of information in a wireless communications network (1) comprising the receiving network node (100) and a transmitting network node (200). The receiving network node (100) is capable of serving, on one or more radio bearers, one or more UEs (2), located in the wireless communications network (1). The receiving network node (100) comprises one or more transceivers (110), hereinafter only one transceiver (110) is considered for simplicity, a processor circuit (120) and a control circuit (130). The transceiver (110) is configured to receive a configuration message, from the transmitting network node (200), the configuration message including a caching indicator associated with a radio bearer for a UE (2). The transceiver (110) may further be configured to receive a configuration message including a caching indicator associated with an established radio bearer and/or a radio bearer to be established for the UE.
Abstract:
A method and arrangement for enabling delivery of an IT-service to a client, wherein execution of the IT-service requires resources in a cloud architecture. First, a plurality of predefined cloud computing services and respective requirements for resources, are registered. Then, service subscriptions and associated subscription identities, valid in a telecommunications network, are provisioned for the predefined cloud computing services. One of the service subscriptions and associated subscription identity is assigned to an identity module, for enabling delivery of the IT-service to the client by providing an associated predefined cloud computing service when the client uses the identity module. Then, activity of the assigned service subscription is monitored in the network based on the associated subscription identity, and resources are allocated in the cloud architecture according to the assigned service subscription, when it is detected that the assigned service subscription is activated or has been activated.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for controlling transmission of data packets in a packet-switched network. When a first end-host (A) sends an address query to a DNS system (300) for a second end-host, the DNS system responds by providing a sender key created from a destination key registered for the second end-host, if the first end-host is authorized to send packets to the second end-host. Thereby, the first end-host, if authorized, is able to get across data packets to the second end-host by attaching a sender tag (TAG) generated from the sender key, as ingress tag to each transmitted data packet. A router (302) in the network matches an ingress tag in a received packet with entries in a forwarding table and sends out the packet on an output port (X) according to a matching entry. Otherwise, the router discards the packet if no matching entry is found in the table.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling data compression in a mobile communications network. As a result of mobility of a mobile endpoint such as a mobile terminal, a first network node receives compression information relating to a remote node. The compression information is selected from any of compression capabilities of the remote node, a type of compression available at the remote node and an identity of the remote node. The received compression information is used to perform a compression operation on first data to produce modified data. The modified data is then sent towards the remote node.
Abstract:
Codec rate adaptation for wireless circuit-switched voice communications routed through a packet-based network. A Mobile Station (MS) preferably with Circuit Switched services participating in a voice communication with a distant terminal transmits an initial CMR identifying an initial maximum speech coding rate selected as a function of a downlink radio quality. At each intermediate network node, one or more operational parameters are determined by using an Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) protocol. When a CMR is received at each network node, if the operational parameters are not within a predetermined range suitable for the transmission of speech packets through the network using the initial maximum speech coding rate the maximum speech coding rate identified in the CMR is reduced as a function of the operational parameters and then forwarded toward the distant terminal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to configuration of routers in a communication WAN and more particularly with the problems of substantial work with manual configuration of routers in a WAN and the need for automation of the configuration process. A new node is added to an existing router within an Intranetwork. The node is to be configured to act like a router. A physical connection and a Point to Point link are established between the existing router and the new node. A routing protocol is started to make it possible for the new node to send and retrieve IP traffic. The new node finds automatically the essential resources to receive configuration information. By means of the configuration information, the new node is automatically configured.
Abstract:
A method of handling user plane data in a packet switched network. A packet inspection node determines a compression ratio and/or content information for the user plane data, and sends said compression ratio and/or content information towards a user plane data handling node. The user plane data handling node receives the compression ratio and/or content information, and handles the user plane data in dependence upon the compression ratio and/or content information.
