20090279596 | Method for encoding frame data - In applications where data is transmitted in frames of symbols and the transmission medium is such that the probability of correct reception of symbols is, on the average, not uniform for different symbols in a frame, transmission of test frames enables creation of information about the different probabilities of correct reception, and that information is employed by the transmitter to control the manner in which symbols are transmitted so as to ameliorate the effects of the different probabilities of correct reception. | 11-12-2009 |
20100149983 | BROADCAST LATENCY OPTIMIZATION IN MULTIHOP WIRELESS NETWORKS - A system and methodology that can optimize practical performance by reducing broadcast latency and collisions in a multihop wireless network is provided. The system includes an optimization component that determines a schedule for transmitting and/or receiving messages at nodes in the network during one-to-all broadcasting, all-to-all broadcasting, and/or all-to-one collection. The schedule enables each node in wireless network to participate in broadcasting as soon as possible, such that, when a node transmits a message to its parent to deliver the message to a source node, the children of the node also receive the message and initiate broadcasting the message in their subtrees in parallel. Further, during data collection, the schedule for messages to be transmitted to a sink node is determined based in part on a priority associated with the message. Additionally, the generated schedule does not affect a set of theoretical bounds associated with a broadcast algorithm employed by the network. | 06-17-2010 |
20100153802 | System and Method for Anycast Transport Optimization - A system includes first, second, and third content servers, and an edge server. The first, second, and third content servers each are configured to cache content. The edge server is in communication with the first, second, and third content servers. The edge server is configured to receive a content request, and to request different portions of the content from each of the first, second, and third content servers based on a network cost of each of the first, second, and third content servers. | 06-17-2010 |
20110040861 | Integrated Proximity Routing for Content Distribution - A domain name server includes a processor configured to receive a request from a requester for an edge cache address, identify a first edge cache serving content requests to an anycast address from the requester, and determine a load of first edge cache. The processor is further configured to provide unicast address of an alternate edge cache to requester in response to the request when the load exceeds a threshold or to provide anycast address to requester in response to request when the load is below the threshold. | 02-17-2011 |
20110055316 | Anycast Aware Transport for Content Distribution Networks - A system for providing content includes a plurality of content delivery servers and a routing control module. Each of the content delivery servers is configured to receive a first request from a client system sent to an anycast IP address for the content, and to provide a first portion of the content to the client system. Each of the content delivery servers is further configured to receive a second request from the client system sent to the anycast IP address for a second portion of the content, and to provide the second portion of the content to the client system. The routing control module is configured to modify the routing of the anycast address from a first content delivery server to a second content delivery server. | 03-03-2011 |
20110134768 | NETWORK ANALYSIS USING NETWORK EVENT DATA - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, network device having a controller to combine network data sources enabling simplified database queries across a plurality of data sources, normalize the data from the plurality of data sources, continuously collect routing information between two routers of interest, selectively and automatically extract network data involving network events and routing, determine a temporal correlation among identified network events, determine a spatial correlation among identified network events, and troubleshoot an interactive media service based on a combination of the temporal correlation and the spatial correlation determined between the defined edge routers. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 06-09-2011 |
20110134769 | Multi-path load balancing using route controller - Systems and methods are described that employ multi-path BGP to realize dynamic multi-path load balancing based on an Intelligent Route Service Control Point (IRSCP) router control architecture that uses dynamic traffic flow information to perform dynamic load balancing to enable precise and effective load balancing. | 06-09-2011 |
20110307913 | Modeling User Activity Information Associated with a Network System - Systems and methods to model user activity information associated with a network system are provided. A particular method includes receiving, at a computing device, a request for user activity information associated with selected channels of a television access network that provides multimedia content to users. The method includes executing a model of user activity associated with the television access network at the computing device. The model estimates the user activity information as user multimedia access demands during particular time periods within a day. The method also includes storing the user activity information at a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium. | 12-15-2011 |
