Abstract:
A method of discovering edge-servers and services through domain name server (DNS) resolution in a mobile edge computing (MEC) platform based network is provided. The method includes communicating a DNS-query from a user-equipment to a DNS server, wherein DNS query pertains to a user-request for accessing one or more web-based services. The user equipment (UE) receives, from the DNS server, a response comprising details with respect to a plurality of available-servers configured for rendering the web-based services. The details comprises at-least one of, an indication of the server being edge server associated with the MEC platform or a remote-server, a location of the server, and one or more services associated with the server. Each of the available servers are evaluated by the UE based on the response at-least based on the plurality of associated services and a distance of the server with respect to the UE.

Abstract:
An electronic device and a method are provided for wireless local area network (WLAN) relay connection control. A cellular communication connection is established between the electronic device and a network. A WLAN communication connection is established between the electronic device and at least one external device. Policy information related to the WLAN relay function is checked. A bandwidth of at least one of the electronic device and the at least one external device is determined based on at least part of the policy information.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for managing a Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) in an electronic device during data transport between the electronic device (client device) and other electronic device (host device) are described. The method includes monitoring one or more factors associated with the MPTCP implemented in the client device. Further, based on the one or more factors that are monitored, the method includes determining whether to enable the MPTCP in the electronic device for a current data transport. Thereafter, the method includes determining a mode, among a plurality of modes provided for the MPTCP, to control a plurality of subflows of the MPTCP when the MPTCP is enabled for the current data transport. The method further includes dynamically switching the mode of the MPTCP during the current data transport based on the one or more factors being monitored during the current data transport.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a method for CLAT Aware Affinity (CAA)-based scheduling by a user equipment (UE) (100) comprising a multi-core processor (120). The method includes a CAA scheduler (180) at the user equipment (100) receiving a packet and determining a path characteristic of the packet. Further, the method includes the CAA scheduler (180) determining, at least one of a IPv4 connection and a IPv6 connection based the path characteristic of the packet; and establishing a connection to at least one of an IPv4 server and an IPv6 server based on the determined at least one of the IPv4 connection and the IPv6 connection. Further, the method includes the CAA scheduler (180) classifying the packet into at least one class and scheduling the packet on at least one core of the multi-core processor (120) based on the at least one class.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for handling a data path creation in a quick user datagram protocol (UDP) Internet connection (QUIC) session in a wireless network system. The method includes receiving, by an electronic device, at least one request from at least one application for processing at least one object, determining at least one network condition based on the plurality of parameters associated with the electronic device, determining whether the at least one network condition meets a network criteria, and creating a number of data paths within the QUIC session based on the determination.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for accounting for MPTCP data usage. The embodiments include tracking MPTCP data usage of a plurality of applications. The embodiments include reporting the MPTCP data usage information to a data tracking module. Each of the plurality of applications is associated with a UID, which is tagged with MPTCP packets of the plurality of applications. The MPTCP packets of the plurality of applications can be transferred through at least one sub-socket, in at least one sub-flow. The at least one sub-flow can be associated with the system (OS) ID. The embodiments include updating the system UID, associated with the at least one sub-flow, with UIDs of the applications, whose data is included in the at least one sub-flow.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a method for communication by a device using a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) connection. The method comprises establishing communication with an endpoint using a primary interface of the device, detecting an event in the device, and switching an interface for communication with the endpoint, from the primary interface to a secondary interface of the device according to the detected event.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a method for managing multiple bandwidth boost solutions co-existing in an electronic device. The method includes identifying an ongoing data session associated with at least one of a first bandwidth boost solution and a second bandwidth boost solution. The method includes dynamically selecting at least one bandwidth boost solution based on at least one parameter. The method includes managing multiple bandwidth boost solutions, wherein the bandwidth boost solution can be either network dependent or independent bandwidth boost solution. The method includes determining that the identified event corresponds to a particular bandwidth boost solution or a combination of bandwidth boost solutions. The method includes dynamically selecting another bandwidth boost solution or a combination of bandwidth boost solutions upon determining that the identified event corresponds to a particular bandwidth boost solution or a combination of bandwidth boost solutions.
