摘要： To serve User Equipment (UEs) in a wireless communication network, a control-plane transfers a co-located User Plane Function (UPF) request for a wireless access point ID to a naming system. The naming system detects a co-location translation fault for the wireless access point ID and transfers the wireless access point ID to a controller. The controller determines co-located UPFs for the wireless access node. The controller transfers co-location translation information for the wireless access point ID and co-located UPF IDs to the naming system. The control-plane transfers another co-located UPF request for the wireless access point ID to the naming system. The naming system translates the wireless access point ID into the set of co-located UPF IDs. The naming system transfers the co-located UPF IDs to the control-plane. The control-plane signals the co-located UPFs to serve the UE over the wireless access point.

摘要： A system for proving secure streamed data sessions is disclosed. The system comprises a first computer system executing an orchestrator virtualized network function (VNF). The orchestrator VNF collects performance metrics on routers, receives a request for a secure streamed data session, analyzes the metrics based on the request, determines a secure routing path, creates a routing instruction set that defines the secure routing path, and transmits the routing instruction set to a session aggregator. The system further comprises a second computer system that executes the session aggregator in a trusted security zone. The session aggregator establishes trusted end-to-end communication links with a first edge router, a second edge router, and at least one of the plurality of routers and configures the routing instruction set into each of the CPE node, the first edge router, the second edge router, and the at least one router via the trusted end-to-end communication link.

摘要： A multi-core data communication system serves a wireless relay from a relay core and serves User Equipment (UE) from a UE core. The relay core establishes a relay bearer between the relay and the relay core over a wireless base station. The relay receives a data request from the UE and transfers a UE data request to the UE core indicating a UE ID, a Relay ID, and a Relay Core ID. The UE core receives the UE data request and responsively transfers a core-to-core message indicating the Relay ID to the relay core. The relay core receives the core-to-core message and directs the base station to modify the relay bearer. The UE and the UE core exchange user data over a UE bearer that traverses the modified relay bearer.

摘要： A communication system controls Quality-of-Service (QoS) using Internet Protocol (IP) address ports. A network controller identifies an IP port range and a QoS level for a user application. The network controller transfers port/QoS data that indicates the IP port range and the QoS level for the user application. A wireless relay and a network gateway receive the port/QoS data. The wireless relay wirelessly exchanges user data with User Equipment (UE) using an IP port in the IP port range. The wireless relay exchanges the user data with the network gateway using the QoS level associated with the IP port range responsive to the use of the IP port by the UE. The network gateway exchanges the user data using the QoS level associated with the IP port range responsive to the use of the IP port by the UE.

摘要： A wireless access network receives Content Delivery Network (CDN) registration data transferred by a plurality of CDNs. The registration data associates individual wireless communication device identifiers for individual wireless communication devices with individual CDNs. The wireless access network receives CDN signaling from an external data system indicating one of the individual wireless communication device identifiers for an individual one of the wireless communication devices. In response, the wireless access network processes the individual wireless communication device identifier from the external system to identify an associated CDN. The wireless access network then transfers at least a portion of the CDN signaling for delivery to the identified CDN.

The optical communication system comprising a core router configured to transmit a control optical signal at a control transmit wavelength. The optical communication system further comprising one or more remote optical nodes configured to receive the control optical signal at the control transmit wavelength and to transmit an attach request at the control transmit wavelength to the core router. The core router is further configured to receive the attach request and to assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a data transmit wavelength, and a mode to the remote optical nodes. The remote optical node are further configured to tune to the assigned data transmit wavelength and operate in the assigned mode.

摘要： A system of delivering data content with hardware assisted provenance proof in named data networking (NDN). The system comprises a data content server with a trusted security zone enabled that is configured to receive the first request message from the first client, and transmit the desired data content based on the name comprised in the first request message and a determination that the first client is trusted and that the routing path from the first client to the data content server is trusted. The system further comprises a signature server with a trusted security zone enabled that is configured to receive the first request message from the first client, generate a digital signature based on the desired data content, and transmit the corresponding digital signature based on a determination that the first client is trusted and that the routing path from the first client to the signature server is trusted.

摘要： A communication system provides selective access to target wireless communication devices. A naming server system receives naming system registration messages from target wireless communication devices and address requests from user devices. The naming server system determines if the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device. If the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device, then the naming server system returns the address for the target wireless communication device. If the current time is not within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device, then the naming server system will respond with a timeframe when the target wireless communication device will be available for access.

摘要： A method of prioritizing delivery to a mobile device for an audio album through a wireless network. The method comprises dividing, by a server computer, the audio album into two groups based on historical statistics of playback probability of a plurality of tracks of the audio album to be played next after a track that is being played, wherein tracks with a higher probability than a predefined threshold are placed in an immediate playback group, group 1, wherein tracks with a lower probability than the predefined threshold are placed in a later playback group, group 2.
