Abstract:
This invention extends routing mechanisms that use link metrics for route selection so that: A link metric cross correlation vector is determined for all links, where each element in the vector corresponds to some other link, and reflects the change in the link metric value if a data flow would already use this other link. The invention further describes a specific embodiment where all cross-correlating links are adjacent to each other, i.e., they terminate or originate in a common node. A mechanism is described to create an extended routing graph. This extended graph permits the use of standard polynomial time algorithms that simultaneously construct the optimal route and find the optimal route metric (such as shortest-path algorithms) also for the adjacent link cross-correlating case.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to communications. More especially it relates to multiple access communications over diverse access technologies. Particularly it relates to multiple radio access technologies and heterogeneous networks and admission control for multi-technology access, the admission control serving one or more communication sessions over more than one access technology at the same time.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method and a Radio Resource Management arrangement in a wireless communication system for allocating communication of one or several services to at least one of several available frequency spectrum resources. The method comprises the steps of categorizing said available frequency spectrum resources with respect to volatility, and categorizing said one or several services with respect to compressibility, and assigning said one or several services to the available spectrum resources such that compressible services are assigned to volatile spectrum resources.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement in a network node (110, 130, 150) for estimating signal strength in at least one sub-region (211, 212, 221, 222) of a radio transmitter, located at a radio transmitter location are provided. Each of said at least one sub-region (211, 212, 221, 222) is identified by corresponding sub-region coordinate information. In a step, the network node obtains from a database corresponding model settings information, indicative of radio propagation conditions within one of a plurality of model settings regions (210, 220). The corresponding model settings information is dependent on the model settings region (210, 220). In another step, the network node estimates a corresponding signal strength value based on the radio transmitter iocation, the corresponding sub-region coordinate information and the mode! settings information.
