Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a radio network node (12,13) for paging a user equipment (10) in a radio communications network (1), which radio network node (12, 13) serves a cell (11) in the radio communications network (1). The radio network node (12, 13) determines whether a condition is fulfilled, which condition is associated with the cell (11). The radio network node (12, 13), when the condition is fulfilled, pages the user equipment (10) in the cell (11).
Abstract:
A method in a first network node (215) for handling transport network data traffic in a first base station (201) is provided. The first base station (201) comprises a transport network transmission equipment (205) and the transport network transmission equipment (205) is a part of a transport network. When the first base station (201) is in a sleep mode, the first network node (215) determines (306, 801) that the transport network transmission equipment (205) should be bypassed by activating a relay (209) comprised in the first base station (201) such that data traffic from a second network node (217) is transmitted via the relay (209) to a third network node (220).
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for controlling the routing of data packets in an IP network (200). A DNS system (202) stores a packet admission policy configured for a first end-host (B) that dictates conditions for allowing other end-hosts to get across data packets to the first end-host or not. A routing voucher is defined which is required for routing data packets to the first end-host. The routing voucher is distributed to routers (R) in the IP network. When an address query is received at the DNS system (202) from a second end-host, the voucher is supplied to the second end-host if the configured policy allows the second end-host to convey data packets. Otherwise, the voucher is not supplied. If allowed, the second end-host will add the routing voucher to any data packets directed to the first end-host. When a valid routing voucher is present in a packet at a router (204) in the network, the packet will be forwarded to the next router in the IP network. The router will otherwise discard the packet.
Abstract:
The per-node delay for transfer of a datagram that is segmented into datagram segments is reduced by a header compression based segmentation and link layer switching. For each datagram segment, the segmentation header includes a unique segmentation context identifier (CID). Based on the segmentation CID, the datagram segments are forwarded between intervening nodes of source and destination, without being reassembled at each node. The segmented data gram is reassembled at the destination node based on sequence numbers assigned to the datagram segments during segmentation.
Abstract:
The soft state of a header compression scheme in a communication system carrying packet traffic including a real time communication signal can be updated (63) during periods of communication signal inactivity (62), during which there is no need to transmit the communication signal. The header compression soft state can also be updated by stealing bits (83, 84) from the communication signal to carry the header update information (73). If the communication signal includes source encoded data, the header compression soft state can be updated selectively (126) based on the bit rate (122, 124) of a codec that produced the source encoded data.
Abstract:
A method in a first service network node for handling a service session associated with user equipment served by a first base station. The first service network node detects a handover signal, indicating a request to prepare for handover of the user equipment from the first base station to a second base station.
Abstract:
Method in and a network node (160; 110; 401a, 600) for congestion management of a transport network (130) comprised in a wireless communications network (100). The wireless communications network (100) further comprises a base station (110; 401a) configured to receive data being transported via a data transport path (132; 404a,d) of the transport network (130) and to transmit the received data to one or more wireless devices (120) served by the base station (110; 401a). The network node obtains (302; 409; 501) an indicator indicating at least a risk for occurrence of downlink data congestion in the data transport path (132; 404a,d). To reduce said at least risk, the network node then controls (304; 411; 502) the base station (110; 401a) to reduce and/or limit a throughput rate of data being transmitted to the one or more wireless devices (120). The data is received by the base station (110; 401a) via the data transport path (132, 404a,d).
