Inroute bandwidth requirements for the communications session are determined based on the session parameters. A bandwidth reservation process is initiated to obtain bandwidth allocations to satisfy the inroute bandwidth requirements. The session request message is held until completion of the bandwidth reservation process, whereupon the session request message is transmitted to a session controller at a core node of the network, and the setup process to establish the communications session is completed. | 10-29-2015 |
20160094481 | INTER-GATEWAY INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT AND ADMISSION CONTROL FOR A CDMA SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An approach for inter-gateway interference estimation and admission control is provided. A gateway receives return link signals, each being received via a satellite from a respective user terminal (UT) located within a satellite beam serviced by the gateway. A transmit power factor and an interference factor are determined for each UT based on the respective return link signal. A total interference factor is determined for the UTs based on the transmit power factors and the interference factors. A residual capacity level for the satellite beam is determined based on the total interference factor and a noise power factor. The gateway receives an admission request from a further UT requesting admission for transmission of a return link signal. The gateway determines whether to grant the admission request based on a required capacity level for the return link signal of the further UT relative to the residual capacity level. | 03-31-2016 |

20140189695 | Methods for Packet Scheduling with Order in Software-Based Parallel Processing - A method for parallel processing implemented by a first core in a network unit, comprising locking an ingress queue if the ingress queue is not locked by another core, searching for an unlocked task queue from a first default subset of a plurality of task queues when the ingress queue is locked by another core, wherein the first subset is different from a second default subset of the plurality of task queues from which a second core begins a search for an unlocked task queue, and searching a remainder of the plurality of task queues for an unlocked task queue when all of the first default subset of task queues are locked and the ingress queue is locked. | 07-03-2014 |
20140269297 | INTEGRATED DATA PLANE FOR HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK SERVICES - Network services can be dynamically configured on an integrated data path by establishing control paths between data plane entities located on the integrated data path and service entities associated with the network services. In this way, routing for the integrated data path is performed with fewer restrictions than traditional data planes, which are largely limited by the relative locations of pre-configured network nodes in the service network. As a result, the integrated data path may traverse a shorter or more favorable route over the services network, thereby achieving improved service network performance, lower latency periods, less congestion, etc. Further, a service topology on the integrated data path can be dynamically re-configured through the addition, removal, or reordering of data plane entities on the integrated data path. | 09-18-2014 |
