20100023998 | METHOD, ENTITY AND SYSTEM FOR REALIZING NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION - A method of realizing network address translation (NAT) includes the following steps. An application function (AF) entity receives a message, and determines a signaling direction according to the message. The AF entity carries the signaling direction information in an access authorization request (AAR) message and sends the AAR message to a service-based policy decision function (SPDF) entity. The SPDF entity obtains a corresponding local domain address according to the signaling direction, and sends the obtained address to the AF entity. The AF entity sends the message according to the local domain address. An entity and a system of realizing NAT are also provided. By extending a message interacted between the AF entity and the SPDF entity and adding a field indicating a signaling direction, the SPDF entity is enabled to distinguish an uplink direction or a downlink direction of the message, for example, from an access side/a local core side to a core side/an opposite core side or from the core side/opposite core side to the access side/local core side, so as to realize an NAT control. | 01-28-2010 |

In the method, through centralized resource control of a resource and admission control subsystem (RACS), sharing of multicast/unicast resources is realized. The RACS allocates and authorizes resources to an access node (AN), the AN manages the obtained multicast resources under the authorization, and the resource allocation is adjusted through interaction when the multicast resources of the AN or the resources of the RACS are not sufficient. | 05-06-2010 |
20100275068 | Method, device and system for managing resources in networks - A method, device and system for managing resources in networks are provided, which relate to the field of data communication. The method includes the following steps. A resource manager (RM) sends a first request message according to a received resource request message, to request an access node (AN) to perform admission control. After receiving an admission control result indicating whether a resource requested by the resource request message is admitted, the RM sends a response message of the resource request message. Therefore, when multicast/unicast connection admission control (CAC) that supports shared bandwidth is realized, flow fusions of user line configuration between the AN and a broadband remote access system (BRAS, and policy distribution between a resource and admission control subsystem (RACS) and the BRAS are guaranteed; and sharing of bandwidth resources is realized to avoid waste of the bandwidth resources. | 10-28-2010 |
