One embodiment includes a method and apparatus for allocating resources for the streaming of multimedia content in a network. The method includes analyzing multimedia content to determine media characteristics of the multimedia content, receiving a request to access the multimedia content from a user, and sending a request for resources for the multimedia content to a traffic management node. The request for resources includes the determined media characteristics of the multimedia content.

Customer experience management interaction with caching

A method and a device for data processing in a mobile communication network are provided, wherein a control information is conveyed between a mobile terminal and an anchor node within said mobile communication network, and wherein based on said control information, a handover synchronization between a source network and a target access network is conducted utilizing an intermediate state of a mobility management. Furthermore, a communication system is suggested comprising said device.

Method and device for data processing in a mobile communication network

A reachability service is provided to connect portable nodes of a moving network to at least one external, fixed network via at least one mobile router. Temporary name identifiers are allocated to the portable nodes and mapped to current reachable addresses of the portable nodes by at least one proxy name server.

Reachability maintenance of a moving network based on temporary name identifiers

A telecommunications system includes a mobile network having a plurality of portable communication devices, and a fixed network which includes a signaling agent, a plurality of directory agents, and a plurality of spaced apart attachment points to which the mobile network can attach. In use, each directory agent stores a routing table for routing data to a respective mobile communication device associated with that directory agent. When the point of attachment of the mobile network changes, the mobile network sends a change-of-address message to the signaling agent. In response, the signaling agent is configured to forward the change of address to each directory agent, so that each can update its routing table to take into account the changed point of attachment of the mobile network. Because a signaling agent is provided, each portable device need not itself notify its directory agent when the mobile network moves, and the amount of signaling between the mobile network and the fixed network when the mobile network moves is reduced.

Telecommunications system

A mechanism for a bidirectional reservation procedure within an in-band signaling mechanism gives symmetric real-time services running on mobile devices, which are used to support different access technologies in dynamic, mobile, wireless IP networks where the quality of the node connectivity can sometimes be unpredictably time-varying, the possibility to mutually reserve, monitor and adapt resources and service parameters for upstream and downstream direction along a communication path. The mechanism optimizes reservation mechanisms, especially for adaptive real-time services in wireless and wireless ad-hoc networks, by making use of a dynamic bidirectional reservation in-band signaling approach.
