The prediction further includes determining an original page load time (PLT) and original timing information of a webpage. The prediction also includes simulating a page loading of the webpage based on adjusted timing information of each web object and the PDG to estimate a new PLT of the webpage. The prediction additionally includes comparing the original PLT of the webpage to the new PLT of the webpage to determine whether the adjusted timing information increased or decreased the new PLT of the webpage. | 02-02-2012 |
20130097313 | WEB PAGE LOAD TIME PREDICTION AND SIMULATION - Embodiments of automated cloud service performance prediction are disclosed. The automated cloud service performance prediction includes extracting one or more dependency relationships for each web object in the webpage. The prediction further includes determining an original performance metric value and original timing information associated with a page loading of a webpage. The prediction also includes simulating a page loading of the webpage based on the adjusted timing information and the dependency relationships to estimate a new performance metric value associated with the simulated page loading of the webpage. The prediction additionally includes comparing the original performance metric value to the new performance metric value to determine whether the adjusted timing information increased or decreased the new performance metric value relative to the original performance metric value. | 04-18-2013 |

20110070889 | System and Method for Inter-Femto Access Point Handoffs - A system and method for inter-femto access point handoffs are provided. A method for gateway operations includes receiving a handoff required message, determining a handoff target based on information in the handoff required message, sending a handoff request to the handoff target, performing a bearer update, and initiating a handoff. The handoff target and a handoff source are anchored by a gateway. | 03-24-2011 |
20110317668 | Method and System for Implementing Inter-Access Networks Handoff in Active State in HRPD Network - A method and system for implementing an inter-Access Network (AN) handoff in an active state in a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) Network are disclosed. The method includes determining that an inter-AN handoff operation is necessary and initiating a handoff procedure to perform the inter-AN handoff, sending data to be transmitted to an access terminal to the destination AN in advance in the handoff procedure, and then sending the access terminal the data to be transmitted to the access terminal by the source AN or the destination AN according to the result of the handoff procedure. | 12-29-2011 |
20130114463 | System and Method for Domain Name Resolution for Fast Link Setup - Performing wireless local area network (W-LAN) access point name (W-APN) resolution concurrently with wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) link setup reduces latencies involved with accessing a third generation partnership (3GGP) evolved packet core (EPC) network via a Wi-Fi access network. To achieve this, a Wi-Fi access point (AP) sends a W-APN to a domain name system (DNS) server during Wi-Fi link setup, thereby allowing 3GGP gateway assignment to be performed concurrently with Wi-Fi link setup. The W-APN may be a priori information to the mobile station or Wi-Fi AP. | 05-09-2013 |
20130114506 | System and Method for Data Forwarding - A method for operating a first station includes broadcasting identifying information during a contention period after obtaining access to a communications medium used to transmit messages. The method also includes receiving a transmission intended for an access point from a second station over the communications medium, and forwarding the transmission to the access point over the communications medium. | 05-09-2013 |
