A communication method operated by a terminal includes receiving, from a base station, control information for configuring the terminal to interwork with a WLAN in a cellular connection state, communicating at least one traffic with a first WLAN based on the control information in the cellular connection state, and communicating the at least one traffic with the first WLAN based on the control information, if the cellular connection state is released. A terminal includes a controller configured to receive, from a base station, control information for configuring the terminal to interwork with a WLAN in a cellular connection state, communicate at least one traffic with a first WLAN based on the control information in the cellular connection state, and communicate the at least one traffic with the first WLAN based on the control information, if the cellular connection state is released.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing therein a communication program, the communication program relaying communication from an application operating on a terminal to a communication destination and causing a computer to execute a process, the process including: switching a communication protocol for the communication from a first protocol to a Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocol, in accordance with a connection condition with the communication destination for the communication; and notifying the terminal of a failure of a specific communication in cases when the specific communication has been notified to the application as completed and the specific communication in the DTN protocol results in failure.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus enabling connectivity session and internet protocol (IP) establishment. An exemplary method generally generating a request to establish at least one data network (DN) session for providing connectivity between the UE and a DN, wherein the at least one DN session supports a plurality of data sessions for enabling communication between one or more local endpoints in the UE and one or more endpoints in the DN, wherein each data session of the plurality of data sessions supports one or more connectivity requirements specified by the UE, wherein a first data session of the plurality of data sessions is associated with a first gateway, and wherein a second data session of the plurality of data sessions is associated with a second gateway, and transmitting the request to establish the at least one DN session.

Examples of the present disclosure are related to systems and methods for operating display devices with dual pathway connections. More particularly, embodiments disclose electronic signage devices with dual or redundant pathways offering lower cost and higher reliability.

A multi-link convergence method include: receiving a first binding request sent by a client using a first link; sending a first LSID to the client using the first link; receiving a first authentication request sent by the client using the first link; performing authentication on the first link according to the first authentication request; if the first link is authenticated successfully, sending a BID to the client using the first link; receiving a second binding request sent by the client using a second link, where the second binding request carries the BID; sending a second LSID to the client using the second link; receiving a second authentication request sent the client by using the second link; performing authentication on the second link according to the second authentication request; and if the second link is authenticated successfully, sending a binding acknowledgement message to the client by using the second link.

A network system, method, and device are provided for improving network communication performance between at least a first client site and a second client site, where the first client site and the second client site are at a distance from one another that is such that would usually require long haul network communication. The network system includes at least one network bonding/aggregation computer system for bonding or aggregating one or more diverse network connections so as to configure a bonded/aggregated connection that has increased throughput; and at least one network server component, configured to interoperate with the client site network component, the network server component including a server/concentrator or a cloud concentrator element that is implemented at an access point to an multiple protocol label switching network.

A method or system for efficiently routing a file located on two or more sources to one or more file recipients connected by a plurality of paths in one or more networks. For each file recipient, one or more predetermined utility functions are evaluated to select the most efficient one of the plurality of paths to use for routing the file to the one or more file recipients, and the file is routed to the one or more file recipient using the selected path. The predetermined utility function may be the estimated operating expense associated with the routing of the file to the one or more file recipients, or the estimated return on investment for improving the routing of said file to the one or more recipients, or is related to an estimated file transfer time to the one or more file recipients.

A mobile device with multiple WiFi transceivers and a method of using the same are disclosed. The mobile device may include at least two separate WiFi transceivers and at least two separate WiFi stacks, each of the WiFi stacks is coupled to one of the transceivers to enable separate control and concurrent use of the WiFi transceivers. Each of the WiFi stacks includes a WiFi application to provide a user interface to a corresponding one of the at least two WiFi transceivers; a WiFi driver configured to communicate with one of the WiFi transceivers; a WiFi supplicant module to communicate with one of the WiFi drivers; and a WiFi application programming interface (API) to expose control features to one of the WiFi applications. The mobile device includes a parameter consolidation module to generate a consolidated list of network parameters that satisfy requirements of both the WiFi transceivers.

Methods, systems, devices, and software are disclosed for providing application levels of service over a network. Embodiments of the invention maintain a list of registered applications (or application providers) that have registered with a network resources provider. Customers of the network resources provider may authenticate some or all of the registered applications, indicating a desire to allow traffic relating to those applications over their access networks. Customers may further set application levels of service with respect to those authenticated applications. Certain embodiments may manage network traffic to accord with the application levels of service.
