| 20080317032 | METHODS FOR USING A TRANSLATION/INSTRUCTION SYSTEM TO REDIRECT A MULTIPROTOCOL LABEL SWITCHING (MPLS) PACKET - A multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) packet is processed by receiving an MPLS packet that has first header information including at least a first MPLS label at a first MPLS network node. A translation system is operated to obtain second header information that includes at least a second MPLS label. The MPLS packet is modified with the second header information. The MPLS packet is routed to a second MPLS network node based on the second header information. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090034541 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR ROUTING TRAFFIC BETWEEN NODES IN A NETWORK THAT ARE CONNECTED BY REDUNDANT LINKS - A communications network is operated by providing a plurality of redundant links between a first network node and a second network node. A first identifier is associated with a first one of the plurality of redundant links and a second identifier is associated with a second one of the plurality of redundant links. The first and second identifiers are associated with the regulatory constraint. Traffic that is marked with the first identifier is routed to the first one of the plurality of redundant links and traffic that is marked with the second identifier is routed to the second one of the plurality of redundant links so that operation of the communications network is in compliance with the regulatory constraint. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090103545 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MANAGING QUALITY OF SERVICE IN A PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK - Quality of Service (QoS) can be managed in a network that uses time division access, such as a Passive Optical Network (PON), by supporting provisioning of at least two scheduling precedence levels in the PON, none of the at least two precedence levels being associated with a fixed or assured bandwidth traffic type in the PON, but having a bandwidth precedence and/or proportion relationship to each other. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090147792 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MANAGING QUALITY OF SERVICE, SESSION AUTHENTICATION AND/OR BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION IN A REGIONAL/ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) - Quality of Service (QoS) and/or bandwidth allocation is managed in a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that provides end-to-end transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP), and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes a Routing Gateway (RG). A first subsystem is configured to manage QoS and/or bandwidth allocation for an access session in the CPN. A second subsystem is configured to manage QoS and/or bandwidth allocation for an application flow in the CPN. Thus, the RAN can independently manage QoS, session authentication and/or bandwidth allocation for an access session and for an application flow. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090285218 | Managing quality of service in a communication network for applications - Quality of Service (QoS) in a communication network is managed. A service provider requests a level of QoS for communication in the communication network using a QoS request. The requested level of QoS may be allocated to the service provider based on the QoS request. The service provider may make the QoS request on its own initiative and/or in response to a request from an application that is hosted by the service provider. A QoS level may then be allocated to the service provider and/or to particular applications that are hosted by the service provider. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100020752 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING ADVERTISING AND/OR INFORMATION SERVICES OVER MOBILE AD HOC COOPERATIVE NETWORKS USING ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS AND RELATED DEVICES - A method of operating an electronic billboard includes detecting a mobile electronic device within a predetermined distance of the electronic billboard, establishing an ad hoc wireless connection with the mobile electronic device, and transmitting location-specific data to the mobile electronic device over the ad hoc wireless connection. The location-specific data is associated with a geographic location of the electronic billboard. For example, the location-specific data may include advertising content, traffic and/or construction conditions, emergency information, and/or tourism information associated with the geographic location of the electronic billboard. Related methods, devices, and computer program products are also discussed. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110009062 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE AD HOC COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND RELATED DEVICES - A method of operating a mobile electronic device includes detecting at least one other mobile electronic device within a predetermined distance of the mobile electronic device, and determining a spatial relationship of the at least one other mobile electronic device relative to the mobile electronic device. An ad hoc wireless connection is established with the at least one other mobile electronic device based on the determined spatial relationship. Data may be transmitted to and/or received from the at least one other mobile electronic device over the ad hoc wireless connection based on the determined spatial relationship. Related systems, devices, and computer program products are also discussed. | 01-13-2011 |
