A network shaping engine can be used to optimize network traffic by employing means to prioritize data packets assigned to a network traffic class over other network traffic. The network shaping engine accomplishes network traffic optimization by determining whether received data packets comprise a traffic class mark or indicia that indicates the data packets are part of a minimum latency traffic class. After analyzing the packets, the network optimization engine sorts the data packets according to the identified traffic classes and transmits the packets. Data packets comprising a traffic class marking are transmitted according to a first transmission scheme while data packets that do not comprise a traffic class marking are transmitted according to a second transmission scheme that differs from the first transmission scheme.

A mobile device and method for predictive computing of variable mobile link parameters per session and state in a future time interval within Radio Access Networks (RAN). The system narrows its prediction errors as time progresses. An ideal control value is also estimated, so that mobile QoS applications can determine their intervention point while coexisting with link layer resource management mechanisms. The system is provided with certain measurement elements from the RAN. With the information contained in these elements, the system estimates the Received Signal Strength (RSSI), Received Wideband Power (RSCP), Signal Interference Ratio (SIR), Bit Error Rate (BER), the transmission delay per frame (delay), the variation between delay measurements throughout a certain number of measurement time frames and the mean bit throughput rate (Chip Rate) for a future time interval.

A switch to switch protocol for network load balancing which negotiates among switches operable in accordance with the invention to assign a unique loop bit offset identifier value to each switch. Various other load balancing protocols associated with the switches then utilize the loop bit offset value as an identifier field when determining loops in the network of switches and costs associated with non-looped paths in the switches. A loop bit offset identifier requires less switch processing overhead than techniques which utilize an entire address value (i.e., MAC address value) for such protocols. Further, the loop bit offset identifier assigned by the present invention reduces the size of load balancing related packets. Specifically, cost computation related packets are reduced in size to the minimum 64 byte packet size through use of the loop bit offset identifier value of the present invention.

In a multi user communication system, subcarriers are allocated to subchannels using a quality measurement for each subchannel. An initial sub carrier is allocated to each subchannel, and a quality metric measured. Subsequent subcarriers are allocated in dependence upon the quality measurement for each subchannel. The subchannel with the lowest quality measurement receives the first allocation, and the subchannel with the highest quality measurement receives the last allocation. The subsequent allocation is repeated, following a re-sort of the subchannel quality measurements, until all of the subcarriers are allocated.

The present invention provides a method for allocating appointment time windows. The steps of this method include creating a statistical estimate of a daily schedule comprising a series of estimated service orders. An actual service order is then received. This actual service order is inserted into the daily schedule by using a set of scheduling instructions for determining the least cost to employ the available service resources. At this point, this actual service order does not have a system imposed time window. The set of scheduling instructions is used to determine a time window surrounding this insertion point. If the customer accepts this time window, then the closest estimated service order is replaced by this actual service order, and the daily schedule is recomputed based upon the revised set of service orders to yield a revised daily schedule. This process may be repeated for any number of days or time periods from which the customer may choose the time window best meeting the customer's availability.

Media streaming is more efficient in terms of transmission bitrate consumption, transmission latency and / or fair trade of transmission capacity among several by pushing media content rather than the client pulling media content from the server. Pushing media content to the client at a varying bitrate enables to shift, at least partially, the control over the streaming from the client towards the server.
