Some of examples disclosed herein relate to classifying access points (APs). Some of the example may enable automatically classifying a set of APs based on at least one AP attribute of each AP in the set of APs, determining, based on the automatic classification, that a subset of APs in the set of APs are classified into a same class; and automatically determining a recommended configuration setting for the subset of APs.

A telecommunication network associated with a wireless telecommunication provider can be configured to transmit application data using different quality of service (QoS) specifications. In some configurations, data, other than voice and video data, can be transmitted using VoLTE or ViLTE data streams. According to some examples, network hardware and/or software (e.g., in the core network of a telecommunications network), and/or an application on the UE (smartphone, tablet, etc.) may translate data to be compatible with the VoLTE or ViLTE specifications. The translated data is transmitted from the device to the telecommunications network as a VoLTE or ViLTE packet stream. The converted packets may be identified (e.g., a unique digital signature) so that the corresponding hardware and software in the MSO can identify that a stream of VoLTE or ViLTE packets is to be converted back into the native format of the application before being routed to a destination.

A method, apparatus and system for transferring data from an apparatus called multi-protocol gateway in a network seamlessly that operates using a particular protocol, to another device that is either in the same network or outside operating in a totally different protocol is described. Today, to accomplish this requires external units, one per technology. For example, for supporting both WiFi and WiMAX devices today, we would require a WiFi access point, a WiMAX base station and a router. We provide plug-ins that would handle multiple protocols within the same gateway, to cater to devices that operate in those protocols. The apparatus translates between various protocols in the back end making it inexpensive and portable. The unit is scalable, grows with technology, and acts as a gateway to a local network. The device can be configured to address Quality of Service, Priority between technologies and fault-tolerance through management layer.

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a first node (103, 105) for handling Quality of Service, QoS, information. The first node (103, 105) receives information for a 5G QoS flow from a second node (108). The information comprises 5G or 4G QoS information, or both 5G and 4G QoS information, or priority information. The first node (103, 105) determines whether there are any available 4G bearer IDs. When there are no available 4G bearer IDs, the first node (103, 105) determines an action for handling the information.

When congestion occurs, the ENUM/DNS server can identify a priority packet without relaying on origin terminal information. An ENUM/DNS packet priority control system 100 includes a call control server 10 that, upon receiving a connection request from a terminal, determines whether or not the connection request is to be subjected to priority processing based on predetermined determination logic, and generates an ENUM/DNS packet that has a priority flag upon determining that the connection request is to be subjected to priority processing. The ENUM/DNS packet priority control system 100 also includes an ENUM/DNS server 20 that, upon receiving an ENUM/DNS packet that has the priority flag, determines that the packet is to be subjected to priority processing, and transmits, to the call control server 10, connection destination information that corresponds to the call destination terminal.

An apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code. The memory and the computer program code are configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform operating as a bridge in a time sensitive network system and providing functionality for assisting exchange of information of bridge managed objects between the apparatus and the time sensitive network system.
