20110320619 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A NETWORK AND A NETWORK - For allowing an enhancement of diversity of network applications in a simple way a method for operating a network, especially an IP (Internet Protocol) network, is claimed, wherein a local network is in connection with the network via a gateway and wherein a UE (User Equipment) of the local network is performing a session setup by communicating with a functional entity of the network in order to communicate with or to start a UE-related and/or session-related application. The method is characterized in that the application is communicating with a local network controller, wherein the network controller is receiving a UE-related and/or session-related parameter (LID—Local Identifier) from the application for locating a UE and/or a specific session within the local network based on the received parameter. Further, an according network is claimed, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method. | 12-29-2011 |
20120163380 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING DISTRIBUTION OF WARNING MESSAGES - A method for supporting distribution of warning messages, is characterized in that an NGN (Next Generation Network) infrastructure is employed for distribution, wherein the infrastructure includes a plurality of network elements including endpoints, wherein a hierarchical architecture is defined for the network elements, wherein groups of network elements including endpoints with specific characteristics are defined, wherein each of the network elements provides its group membership information to at least one higher-tier network element, and wherein at least one group warning controller is provided that, upon receiving a request from a source node, generates a warning message for one or more target groups and forwards the warning message to lower-tier network elements of the respective target group or groups towards endpoints. | 06-28-2012 |
20120215850 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING THE SELECTION OF COMMUNICATION PEERS IN AN OVERLAY NETWORK - A method for supporting the selection of communication peers in an overlay network, wherein a multitude of communication peers participate in the overlay network by providing certain pieces of information, and wherein at least one peer-to-peer server—tracker—is provided that maintains a database of the participating communication peers and the information possessed by them, wherein the tracker, upon receiving a query regarding a specific piece of information from a communication peer—requesting client—, answers the query by providing the requesting client a list that includes a subset of all communication peers possessing the requested piece of information, includes providing a network entity located such that it receives messages directed from the requesting client to the tracker, wherein the network entity stamps topological location information of the requesting client into any of the messages directed from the requesting client to the tracker. Furthermore, a corresponding system is disclosed. | 08-23-2012 |
20120239819 | A METHOD FOR OPERATING A NETWORK AND A NETWORK - For allowing a high degree of resource consumption within a network a method for operating a network is claimed, wherein at least one end user device is connected to an access network, wherein the method is characterized in that the at least one end user device or an application on the end user device queries at least one network element of the access network and/or at least one network element attached to the access network about low layer parameters information for optimizing connection and/or protocol parameters after having received the queried low layer parameters information. Further, a network is claimed, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method. | 09-20-2012 |

The method is characterized in that information regarding the wireless part will be provided via the mobile network to the fixed line network for controlling the communication within the fixed line network. Further, a corresponding network, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method is disclosed. | 01-17-2013 |
20130215864 | METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR SUPPORTING A CONNECTION BETWEEN A COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND A DESTINATION DEVICE IN A TARGET NETWORK - A method for supporting a connection between a communication device and a destination device in a target network over intermediate network nodes, in particular in the context of Internet Protocol based communication, wherein data between the communication device and the destination device is transmitted via a tunnel established between the communication device or a base station connected to the communication device, as a first tunnel endpoint and a gateway in the target network as a second tunnel endpoint. One or more dummy packets are sent via the tunnel from the first tunnel endpoint towards the second tunnel endpoint, information is encoded in the packet headers of the one or more dummy packets, and at least one of the intermediate network nodes, upon receiving the one or more dummy packets, performs the steps of detecting and/or decoding the encoded information and performing a predefined action dependent on the encoded information. | 08-22-2013 |
20140016476 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A FLOW-BASED SWITCHING SYSTEM AND SWITCHING SYSTEM - A method for operating a flow-based switching system in a network, including at least one network node designed to transport incoming network packets, in particular a switch ( | 01-16-2014 |
20140247830 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING TRANSPORT OF DATA PACKETS IN A NETWORK - A method for supporting transport of data packets in a network, wherein the data packets are transmitted from a source node to a destination node by employing a tunnel from a first tunnel endpoint to a second tunnel endpoint, wherein a tunnel header is added to the data packets at the first tunnel endpoint, wherein the data packets are transmitted between the tunnel endpoints via a network domain that includes one or more intermediate nodes functioning as transport network, and wherein the intermediate nodes forward the data packets, is characterized in that the tunnel is provided in the form of a virtual tunnel by removing the tunnel header from the data packets where the data packets enter the network domain and adding back the tunnel header to the data packets where the data packets exit the network domain. A corresponding system for supporting transport of data packets is disclosed. | 09-04-2014 |
