There is disclosed a system and method for transmission of multiple data streams from a mobile device to a network. In an embodiment, the system includes a multipath wireless router configured to provide a plurality of network connections including cellular, satellite, or wired Ethernet. An encoding module provided on the mobile device is configured to encode high volume data (e.g. high definition video) recorded by the mobile device into multiple data streams in dependence on the number of network connections available for transmission via the multipath wireless router. The encoding module provided on the mobile device transmits the multiple data streams to the wireless router using Wi-Fi to provide a local, short-hop, high capacity network connection. The plurality of network connections available via the multipath wireless router provides the necessary capacity and reliability to transmit a high volume of data, such as high definition video, virtually live.

Provided are a radio transmission apparatus and a radio transmission method whereby the increase of number of signaling bits can be suppressed and further the flexibility of frequency scheduling can be improved. A notified RBG calculating unit (203) that adds a predetermined offset value of “1” or “−1” to one of the start RBG number and the end RBG number of allocated RBG number information (b′.sub.i) output by a scheduling unit (201), thereby calculating notified RBG number information (b.sub.i). An RBG total number setting unit (204) calculates the total number of RBGs, which is to be notified, by adding “1” to the total number of allocated RBGs. A notified information generating unit (205) applies the notified RBG number information (b.sub.i) and the notified total number of RBGs (N.sub.rb′) to a predetermined formula, thereby generating and transmitting, to terminals, notified information (r).

Embodiments described herein provide methods and apparatus for transmitting traffic using a first communications technology and a second communications technology to a 5 communications network. The method comprises providing a first virtual link configured to receive first traffic from a first end device, wherein the first virtual link has a plurality of first link characteristics; providing a second virtual link configured to receive second traffic from the first end device, wherein the second virtual link has a plurality of second link characteristics; transmitting the first traffic to a communications network over a first 0 network link using the first communications technology; and transmitting the second traffic to the communications network over a second network link using the second communications technology.

An on-chip data packet processing method and corresponding integrated circuit, wherein data packets are received at an ingress port and processed with an on-chip wire-speed engine. The processing comprises adding metadata to the data packets, forwarding the processed data to an on-chip QoS unit, altering the metadata of the data packets and/or providing further metadata to the data packets. The data packets are forwarded from the on-chip QoS unit to an on-chip data consumer. If the data consumer is a processing unit the data packets are processed in a first processing step, redirected from the processing unit to the QoS unit and the step of forwarding the data packets to an on-chip data consumer is repeated.

This disclosure provides a network node, and a method of operating the network node, having one or more communications interfaces connectable to a first communications network and to a second communications network, the method including the network node accessing a service using the first communications network; analyzing data relating to the first communications network to identify a plurality of fault-indicative events; determining a rate of the plurality of fault-indicative events per unit time; and the network node accessing the service using the second communications network in response to a first trigger, wherein the first trigger is based on the rate of the plurality of fault-indicative events per unit time.

Methods and apparatus for communicating circuit switched voice data with a first cellular radio access network (RAN) and communicating voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) packets using session initiation protocol (SIP) with a second cellular RAN. The second cellular RAN does not support circuit switched voice communication.

There is provided a method of providing a multi-channel electronic communication capability allowing a provider to communicate with a plurality of end user terminals corresponding to a plurality of terminal platforms. The method comprises: providing a repository of mini applications being executable on all of the plurality of the terminal platforms. A function and an appearance of the mini applications is editable by the provider. The mini applications are configured to be stored and executed on the end user terminals. The method also comprises providing a WYSIWYG layout editor engine in communication with the repository. The layout editor engine is configured to allow the provider to build a communication interface corresponding to each of the plurality of terminal platforms. The building the communication interface comprises, for each terminal platform: selecting one or more mini applications from the repository, and arranging a layout of the selected mini applications.

Disclosed are systems and methods for steering network traffic over different access networks based on a classification of the network traffic. A first access network provides a first network path between a client device and a destination network and a second access network provides a second network path between the client device and the destination network. The access networks have different characteristics, such as latency or available bandwidth. A traffic classifier receives network messages and assigns classifications to the received network messages. A policy enforcer determines routes for individual network messages. The determined route is based at least in part on the classification assigned by the traffic classifier.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for rules handling. One apparatus includes a processor that determines whether a remote unit will apply network traffic steering data for routing data traffic on a first route across a first access network and a second route across a second access network. In some embodiments, the first and second routes may be different. In various embodiments, the apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits information that indicates whether the remote unit will apply the network traffic steering data.

An example system may comprise a set of network devices in a network topology, the network topology having a plurality of external links that connect to other networks, wherein the system comprises a processing resource to: assign multiple Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to one of the network interfaces of a client device; communicate the multiple IP addresses to a network interface of the client device; receive a packet from the one of the network interfaces, wherein the packet includes a source address that is one of the multiple IP addresses; select an external link of the plurality of external links based on the source address of the packet; and forward the packet via the external link of the plurality of external links.
