The present invention provides a method involving at least one mobile unit having at least one first session with a base station router. The method includes vacating at least one first session associated with the at least one mobile unit.

Vacating low usage packet data sessions in a wireless communication system

The present invention provides a method involving at least one mobile unit having at least one first session with a base station router. The method includes determining at least one activity level associated with said at least one first session and allocating memory to the at least one first session based on the at least one determined activity level.

Allocating memory to low usage packet data sessions in a wireless communication system

A packet control component of an apparatus in one example monitors a data stream that comprises a plurality of data packets. The plurality of data packets comprise one or more first data packets associated with a real-time application and one or more second data packets non-associated with the real-time application. Upon a detection in the data stream of a data packet of the one or more first data packets, the packet control component initiates a network treatment for the data packet that is different from one or more network treatments applicable to the one or more second data packets.

Initiation of network treatment for data packet associated with real-time application different from network treatment applicable to data packet non-associated with the real-time application

Networks and methods are disclosed for synchronizing time stamps of peer devices. In one embodiment, a first communication node comprised of peer devices is connected to a second communication node. The first and second communication nodes communicate according to a protocol that requires monotonically increasing time stamps. When in operation, a peer device transmits a message to the second communication node with a time stamp. If the peer device receives an error response from the second communication node indicating that the time stamp does not comprise an increasing time stamp, then the peer device increases the time stamp. The peer device then transmits the message to the second communication node with the increased time stamp. This process continues each time the peer device receives an error response from the second communication node until the time stamp is increased sufficiently to comprise a monotonically increasing time stamp.
