20100034157 | Method of dynamic resource allocations in wireless systems - A method of dynamic resource allocations in wireless network is disclosed. The method provides that a base station in the network allocates resources to users independently of other base stations and without resource planning. Resource allocations are done based at least in part on a local optimization objective and a channel quality indicator from one or more users, and result in efficient resource reuse. | 02-11-2010 |
20100266116 | Pacing in Knowledge Worker Engagement - A method for mapping ready agents to incoming transactions has steps for (a) placing incoming transactions in a first queue managed by software executing from a machine-readable medium on a computerized appliance; (b) issuing a determined number of invitations in a period of time to agents known to be available to consider an invitation to interact with an incoming transaction; (c) placing identification of ready agents, who have accepted an invitation to interact, in a second queue managed by the software; (d) mapping transactions from the first queue to agents from the second queue; (e) monitoring changes in state of both the first and the second queues in the time period; and (f) adjusting determined number of invitations in step (b) in a manner to drive a chosen system performance metric toward a desired target value. | 10-21-2010 |
20100309878 | MOBILITY ACCESS GATEWAY - A gateway for mobile access includes a foreign agent that receives user profile data and session state data from a home authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) system of a mobile node, and a dynamic packet filter that performs multi-layer filtering based on the user profile data. The foreign agent transfers a session from a first network to a second network without session interruption, using the session state data, when the mobile node moves from the first network to the second network. The packet filter permits Internet access by the mobile node without passing Internet data requested by the mobile node through the first network. | 12-09-2010 |
20110077016 | Apparatus And Method To Facilitate Wireless Uplink Resource Allocation - Embodiments are described herein to provide an efficient, adaptive and distributed approach to wireless resource allocation that seeks to maximize system capacity and/or coverage on the reverse link. The general approach is for each cell (sector) base station to allocate ( | 03-31-2011 |
20120005370 | Methods of routing for networks with feedback - Example embodiments are directed to methods of routing requests within a system having a plurality of server pools. At least one of the methods provides a method of routing requests within a system having a plurality of server pools. The method includes receiving a request at the system, first determining a first value associated with a first request type of the received request and second determining a probability of routing based on the first value and a probability of rerouting. The first value is a virtual queue value for requests of the first request type. The second determining is performed without determining an input rate at which the requests of the first request type are received. The received request is routed to at least one of the plurality of server pools based on the probability of routing. | 01-05-2012 |
20130311662 | CLOUD RESOURCE ALLOCATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - Assigning virtual machines to host machines in a cloud computing arrangement includes at least one of several techniques that facilitate reducing or minimizing the number of host machines serving virtual machines. One technique includes using place holders in place of a virtual machine that vacates a host machine. The place holders indicate the type of vacated virtual machine and are replaced with a new virtual machine request of a corresponding type. Another technique includes a greedy assignment algorithm for identifying a host machine for a new virtual machine request that will yield an optimized increment to a value of a function that corresponds to a current cloud resource allocation. One technique includes using a modified version of a derivative of the function used in the greedy assignment algorithm, with the modification depending on a number of virtual machines in the cloud system at the time of the new request. | 11-21-2013 |
20140105018 | Method And Apparatus Of Group Credit Control For Wireless Networks - Methods are provided for metering the usage, on a group of lines subject to a group user agreement, of the data processing capacity of a network. Implementations include steps of receiving usage reports from respective lines of the group at least when usage quotas granted to the lines are exhausted; maintaining a total, over the group, of usage that has been reported by the lines and of outstanding usage quotas that have been granted to the lines; and maintaining a comparison between the total outstanding group quota and a limit that depends on the total reported group usage, so as to detect violation events when said quota violates the limit. Upon occurrence of violation events, instructions for the processors serving respective lines to reallocate quota are sent selectively. | 04-17-2014 |
20140189707 | Virtual Machine Placement in a Cloud-Based Network - Methods and apparatuses for real-time adaptive placement of a virtual machine are provided. In an embodiment, a virtual machine is received at a routing component, the routing component having a processor in communication with a memory. By the processor in communication with the memory, a target data center is determined from a plurality of data centers based on a data center index, and the virtual machine is routed to the target data center. A physical machine is chosen within the target data center for placing the virtual machine. | 07-03-2014 |
