Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for performing visual search and augmented reality in a communication system (10) that comprises an Internet network (12) attached to a mobile network (11). Data related to objects that are geographically related to the at least one intermediate node(s) is stored in at least one intermediate node(s) (2,3,4) in the mobile network. The method comprises the following further steps:-A request for metadata from a user equipment (1) in the mobile network (11) is transmitted (22)towards the Internet network (12) via the at least one intermediate node(s) (2,3,4). The request comprises object recognition data related to an object geographically related to the at least one intermediate node(s);-The request is de-tunnelled (103b) and intercepted (104) in an intermediate node (3) of the at least one intermediate node(s) (2,3,4).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for enabling traffic acceleration in a mobile telecommunication network (6), the method comprising the following steps: - receiving (25), at a Radio Network Node (2,19), a reply message (7) from a content delivery provider (3; 95) located outside the mobile telecommunication network (6); - intercepting the reply message; - extracting a token from the reply message (7); - comparing the token with a stored token in the Radio Network Node (2,19); - replacing in the reply message, an Internet protocol IP address of a content delivery provider server (17) with a preset IP address (IP1,IP3) corresponding to an acceleration edge server (4,20) in the mobile network, when there is a match between the token and the stored token; and - sending (26) from the Radio Network Node (2,19) the modified reply message (8) to a mobile terminal (1).
Abstract:
Differentiated Handling of Data Traffic with Adaptation of Network Address Lookup In a method of differentiated handling of data traffic, the data traffic is related to a network resource (80) and is preceded by a lookup procedure for obtaining a network address of the network resource (80). A message (203) of the lookup procedure is processed for adapting the lookup procedure. Due to the adaptation, the lookup procedure returns a network address of a replacement network resource (60). The replacement network resource (60) is capable of replacing the network resource (80) in communication of data packets of the data traffic. On the basis of the network address of the replacement network resource (60), differentiated handling of the data packets in said communication with the replacement network resource (60) is accomplished.
Abstract:
An alternative access point for M2ME's is provided by introducing an extended M2ME, a M2ME/Femto, which is able to operate as a Femto cell in addition to operating as an M2ME is provided. The M2ME/Femto is configured to recognize a connectivity disruption in a conventional wireless connection to a home operator and to respond to such a disruption by providing for an alternative, fixed connection between the M2ME/Femto and the home operator. A M2ME configured to access the M2ME/Femto when required due to a connectivity disruption and a node of a home operator configured to set up an alternative fixed connection between the M2ME/Femto and the node when required due to a connectivity disruption at the wireless connection is also provided.
Abstract:
A system for providing a user terminal with configurations of a local network is provided. The system includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain the configurations of the local network and a telephone number corresponding to the local network, a storage unit configured to store the obtained configurations and the obtained telephone number such that the obtained configurations and the obtained telephone number are associated with each other, a receiving unit configured to receive a request for the configurations from the user terminal, the request comprising the telephone number corresponding to the local network, a retrieving unit configured to retrieve the configurations associated with the received telephone number from the storage unit, and a response unit configured to respond the retrieved configurations to the user terminal.
Abstract:
There is described a system and method of handing over a connection to a terminal from a source network element (e.g. base station) to a target network element ( e.g. base station) in a packet data network when the source base station is acting as a caching server and sending content data towards the terminal in a session. A handover request is sent from the source base station to the target base station. A context data message ( e.g. CXTP message) is sent from the source base station to the target base station, the context data message including session state parameters identifying the state of the session. At the target base station, the session state parameters are retrieved from the context data message and used to identify the state of the session. Content data packets are then sent from the target base station towards the terminal so as to continue the session.
Abstract:
Method and arrangement in a multimedia gateway unit in a local network environment for supporting a media object search on an external network environment. The multimedia gateway unit receives a search query from a device unit in the local network environment and transforms the search query to a format compatible with the external network environment. The search query is sent to a search engine on an external network environment, where the search query includes at least a search request for a media object. The search response, in response to the search query, is adapted to the device capabilities of the device unit upon which the media will be rendered, and transformed to a format compatible with the local network environment. Finally, the adapted search reponse is forward to the device unit upon which the media will be rendered.
Abstract:
There is described a method and apparatus for sending data through one or more packet data networks. A reduced size packet is sent from a packet sending node towards a cache node, the reduced size packet including in its payload a pointer to a payload data segment stored in a file at the cache node. When the reduced size packet is received at the cache node, the pointer is used to identify the payload data segment from data stored at the cache node. The payload data segment is inserted into the reduced size packet in place of the pointer so as to generate a full size packet, which is sent from the cache node towards a client.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nodes and methods for use in connection with a peer-to-peer network for sharing of data content. A priority mechanism is introduced by means of which a serving peer may select which requesting peers to serve based on their need for data content in terms of the degree of urgency. A requesting peer may include an urgency indicator in a request for data content, which for instance may be the amount of buffered data available for playback in a video buffer. The serving peer may then extract (52) the urgency indicator from the request and apply (53) a priority mechanism which uses the urgency indicator to select which peers to upload data content to.
Abstract:
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of distributing data to peers of a peer-to-peer network to enable those peers to provide data to other peers. The method comprises predefining a minimum number of peers that are required to store a data item (C1), sending the data item to a number of data receiving peers from one or more data servers (C2), determining if the number of data receiving peers that have sufficient storage capacity available to store the data item is less than the predefined minimum number (C3, C4), and, if it is, deleting previously stored data to make sufficient storage capacity available (C6).
