The present document describes a system comprising at least two processing nodes () that are connected by a network, and an application distribution function, which automatically distributes processing components () of an application to be run on the system over the nodes (). The system is configured, when a sending processing component and a corresponding receiving processing component are arranged on different nodes, to determine, based on information about the processing component () which receive the data, in which representation to send the data via the corresponding communication channel ().

Automated adaption of a codec

The application relates to a system comprising at least two processing nodes (), wherein the nodes () comprise an execution environment () and a processing component (), wherein each execution environment () includes an establisher configured to establish a communication channel () between an outgoing port of the processing component () and an inbound port of a different processing component (), and wherein the system is configured to determine whether the communication channel () traverses a boundary of a node (), and to determine whether an encoding/decoding of data to be transferred through the communication channel () is required.

Automated compression of data

The invention concerns a method for transmitting data via a data link in a computer network, wherein a device at an endpoint of a section of said data link is selected () from devices of said computer network, a computer program adapted to process said data, is transferred () to said device and said data is processed () by said device by executing said computer program.

Method, a system, a server, a device, a computer program and a computer program product for transmitting data in a computer network

The network computing cluster includes one or more network computing stations and one or more power autarkic network computing stations supplied by one or more associated local power generators. The power autarkic network computing stations and the local power generators are connected with a local power network. A control signal is sent to a resource managing unit of the network computing cluster via a communication network. The control signal indicates the ability of the power autarkic network computing stations to process IT-services. The resource managing unit receives the control signal via the communication network. Triggered by the control signal, the resource managing unit sends a signal for transferring an IT-service processed by a network computing station of the network computing stations to the network computing station via the communication network. The processed IT-service is transferred to one of the power autarkic network computing stations via the communication network.

Method of controlling a network computing cluster providing IT-services

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for providing radio access in a communication system by inter-working between at least two packet-based networks, such as heterogeneous cellular networks including a cellular network and an Internet Protocol (IP)-based wireless data network. The method includes enabling a packet routing path across the cellular and wireless data networks to provide a quality of service metric and an indication for mobility information associated with a user of a mobile device. The method further comprises transferring the quality of service metric and the indication for mobility information on the packet routing path in response to a service request across the networks. To provide wireless radio access, an IP-based communication system may use a wireless router, such as a base station router (BSR) and an inter-working unit. The inter-working unit may enable a packet routing path to provide a Quality of Service (QoS) metric and an indication for mobility information, such as mobility context information, associated with a user of a mobile device. In this way, instead of using a Mobile-IP client of the mobile device, the inter-working unit may provide radio access to the cellular network and the wireless data network using the wireless router.

Providing radio access between cellular and internet protocol-based wireless communication networks

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for managing mobility of a wireless communication device across a first and a second access node in a common administrational area of a network. The method comprises using the first access node to assign a temporary identification to the wireless communication device, causing the second access node to identify the first access node from which the temporary identification originates and hiding the mobility of the wireless communication device from the network when routing traffic to a serving access node of the first and second access nodes based on the identified first access node and the temporary identification. In one embodiment, use of software at these access nodes may enable deploying of a centralized logical functionality instead of centralized physical nodes. This software may provide mobility management of one or more wireless communication devices across a group of radio access nodes including base stations or Node Bs in a multi-vendor environment and a non-supplier specific. Through such decentralization, for example, network vendors may provide mobility management with insignificant impact on existing standards and interchangeability of network elements of a network, such as an Internet protocol (IP) network.
