The mechanism may permit, at least in part, at least one process allocate, at least in part, and/or configure, at least in part, at least one network-associated object. Such allocation and/or configuration, at least in part, may be in accordance with at least one parameter set that may correspond, at least in part, to at least one query issued by the at least one process via the mechanism. Many modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment. | 10-22-2015 |
20150381508 | LINK BIASED DATA TRANSMISSION - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing biased bonding. In one aspect, a method includes estimating an offered load. Data are transmitted over a first communications link of two or more different types of communications links while the estimated offered load is less than or equal to a specified amount. A determination is made that the estimated offered load has exceeded the specified amount. In response to the determination data are transmitted over both of the first communications link and a second communications link of the two or more different types of communications links in response to determining that the estimated offered load has exceeded the specified amount. | 12-31-2015 |
20160127264 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USING BANDWIDTH SUBJECT TO CELLULAR INTERFERENCE - Methods and apparatus for using communications channels corresponding to frequency bands subject to cellular network, e.g., LTE, interference and/or other interference are described. The methods are well suited for use of cable networks where communications over a coax cable or via cable device may be subject to LTE interference. In various embodiments data traffic is classified based on whether the traffic corresponds to a protocol that supports a retry communications mechanism in the event of a communication error, the type of traffic data and/or the priority of the traffic data. In some embodiments data being communicated using a protocol which supports a retry mechanism are routed over channels subject to interference even if, in some cases, the packets correspond to data which has a higher priority or QoS requirements than packets, e.g., best effort packets, which are transmitted using a protocol that does not support a packet retry mechanism. | 05-05-2016 |
20160149689 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - A communication apparatus that performs a communication with another communication apparatus using a frequency bandwidth including a plurality of communication channels and includes a processor and a communicating device. The communicating device transmits a signal to the another communication apparatus using a first number of communication channels included in the frequency bandwidth, and receives a response to the signal from the another communication apparatus using the first number of communication channels. The processor changes the number of communication channels used in the communication with the another communication apparatus, from the first number to a second number, in accordance with the response to the signal, and controls power for each of the communication channels used in the communication with the another communication apparatus based on the second number. | 05-26-2016 |
20160164783 | DYNAMIC FLOW MANAGEMENT - A device and method comprises receiving a network request, and provides a dynamic flow management and a conditional logic provisioning command driver in the form of a computational instruction in response to the network request. The network request is received by a processor accessible in a network from at least one requesting subscriber unit subscribing to a first network service configuration. A conditional logic provisioning command driver is provided in response to the network request by the processor to reconfigure the first network service configuration to a second network service configuration according to the received network request. The conditional logic provisioning command driver may be implemented conditionally according to at least one business rule associated with at least one value defined by the network request. | 06-09-2016 |
20160164802 | Chip-based data transmission method, device and system, and computer storage medium - Disclosed is a chip-based data transmission method for a data sending side. The method includes that protocol layer processing is performed on input data, and the data after the protocol layer processing is mapped to each physical channel for transmission; meta-frame layer processing is performed on the data transmitted by each physical channel, and the data after the meta-frame layer processing is sent. Another chip-based data transmission method for a data receiving side is provided which includes that meta-frame layer processing is performed on data received by each physical channel, the data after the meta-frame layer processing is mapped to a protocol layer for transmission, and the protocol layer processing is performed on the data transmitted by the protocol layer, and the data after the protocol layer processing is sent. A chip-based data transmission device and system, and a computer storage medium are also provided. | 06-09-2016 |
20160165498 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A NETWORK AND NETWORK PARTICIPANTS - A network includes a first network participant connected via a first connection to a further network participant. The first network participant receives a data message containing information that a parameter must be set to a first value, via the first connection. The first network participant checks whether it is connected via a second connection to a still further network, and whether the parameter is not set to the first value in the second connection. In this case, the first network participant forwards the data message via the second connection, clearing down the second connection, and re-establishes the second connection, where the parameter for the second connection is set to the first value. | 06-09-2016 |
