The system includes a plurality of client devices, at least one device load balancer, and at least one call load balancer. The device load balancer identifies a device group to which each client device belongs; and a cluster of computing resources for processing calls for the device group. The cluster is assigned to the device group based on prescribed conditions. In response to a communications request, call load balancers in communication with the device load balancers dynamically determine if predefined conditions are currently being met within an identified cluster of computing resources. If the predefined conditions are currently being met, then the communications request for a primary client device associated with the request is established via one of a plurality of server nodes within the cluster of computing resources. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295835 | OPTIMIZING RADIO ACCESS NETWORK RESOURCES BASED ON END-TO-END ANALYTICS - A system may be configured to determine a measure of end-to-end latency associated with traffic sent from a first user device to a second user device, the traffic being sent via at least one radio access network (“RAN”); determine that the measure of end-to-end latency exceeds a threshold latency; and output, based on determining that the measure of end-to-end latency exceeds the threshold latency, one or more parameters to the RAN. The one or more parameters may cause the RAN to elevate a priority associated with the traffic when transported via the RAN. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295836 | DISTRIBUTION OF SYNCHRONIZATION PACKETS OVER WIFI TRANSPORT LINKS - This disclosure provides methods and an access point node for ensuring proper and correct packet based synchronization in data communications systems and networks at distribution of synchronization packets from one Access Point over a WIFI transport link to another Access Point. The access point node provides dynamic transmission rate adaption with different coding and modulation schemes. The access point node comprises an identifier unit to identify each received synchronization packet, and further comprises a controller configured to set the transmission rate for said synchronization packet according to a predetermined synchronization packet transmission rule. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295837 | Data stream and data packet transmission method and device - A data stream and data packet transmission method and device are described, relating to the field of interface data transmission technologies. The method includes: a home end detects whether data to be transmitted is a data stream or a data packet; when it is detected that the data stream and the data packet exist simultaneously, the data stream is preferentially transmitted; and upon completion of transmission of the data stream, then the data packet is transmitted. According to the embodiments of the disclosure, when the data stream and the data packet exist simultaneously, high efficiency transmission of the data stream may be achieved with no need of extra external time for scheduling operations, effectiveness of transmission of the data stream is enhanced, and data transmission efficiency through the interface is improved. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295838 | UPSTREAM CONTENTION MEASURMENT REPORTING AND MITIGATION IN DOCSIS REMOTE PHY NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS - An example method for upstream contention measurement and reporting in Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) remote physical layer (R-PHY) network environments is provided and includes receiving, at a Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) core from a R-PHY node over a converged interconnect network (CIN) in the DOCSIS R-PHY network environment, an indication of a collision level in an upstream network between the R-PHY node and a plurality of cable modems (CMs), calculating a congestion level in the upstream network based on the collision level indicated by the R-PHY node, adjusting back-off window parameters for cable modem retransmissions based on the calculated congestion level, and adjusting a contention transmission opportunity density in a downstream Media Access Protocol (MAP) message based on the adjusted back-off window parameters. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295839 | VIRTUAL QUANTIZED CONGESTION NOTIFICATION - Congestion management for data traffic in a virtual domain identifies a congestion source and sends a message to the source to adjust data traffic rates. The source may be a virtual machine hosted by a physical server with one or more virtual servers incorporated. A congestion manager may identify the source and send the message to the source without affecting other data sources hosted by the physical server or the virtual servers. In some embodiments, information about the congestion source may be encapsulated in a packet payload readable only by the congestion source so only the congestion source receives the instruction to adjust the transmission rate. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295840 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING SIGNALS IN AN OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORK - An exemplary method and apparatus are provided for a remapping of Optical Data Units of fixed size into lower order Optical Data Units of flexible size. More particularly, a transport signal which has a frame structure referred to as Optical Transport Units may be transmitted through an Optical Transport Network domain. Each Optical Transport Unit contains at least one Optical Data Unit of fixed size with an overhead section and a payload section. An edge network node of the Optical Transport Network domain receives the transport signal and remaps the at least one Optical Data Unit of fixed size into a domain-internal lower order Optical Data Unit of flexible size. Within the Optical Transport Network domain, the remapped domain-internal lower order Optical Data Unit of flexible size is transmitted as payload of a domain-internal higher order Optical Data Unit of fixed size. | 2015-10-15 |
20150295841 | EFFICIENT PACKET AGGREGATION USING DYNAMIC WAIT TIME - Methods, systems, and devices are described for determining when to aggregate packets (e.g., transmit an aggregated packet) at a protocol layer based on an indication of whether more packets are available for transfer from a higher layer. In aspects, the protocol layer may receive an indication from the higher layer of whether additional packets are present in a second packet queue of the higher layer for transfer to the protocol layer. Based on the received indication, the protocol layer may determine when to aggregate the packets in the protocol layer queue into an aggregated packet (e.g., whether to transmit the aggregated packet upon receipt of the indication, etc.). Determining when to aggregate packets in the protocol layer based on the indication may override conventional packet aggregation conditions such as an aggregation wait time, an aggregation window size (minimum or maximum), and the like. | 2015-10-15 |
