Telecommunication and multimedia management method and apparatus

A method for reliably transferring media over a network from a sending node to a receiving node. The method includes ascertaining at the sending node if the media to be transmitted is either time-sensitive or not time-sensitive. For media ascertained as non time-sensitive, the media is transmitted by adjusting the rate of transmission at the sending node based on network conditions. As the non time-sensitive media is received, the receiving node generates one or more low priority requests for the retransmission of any missing non time-sensitive media lost during the transmission. The method also includes transmitting the time-sensitive media from the sending node to the receiving node. As the time-sensitive media is received, the receiving node ascertains if a predetermined acceptable network transmission loss level is met. If met, the receiving node generates one or more low priority requests for the retransmission of any missing time-sensitive media lost during transmission. The sending node retransmits the missing time-sensitive and non time-sensitive media in response to the low priority requests when bandwidth on the network becomes available in excess of what is needed for the transmission of time-sensitive media.

Transmitter, receiver, and coding scheme to increase data rate and decrease bit error rate of an optical data link

Transmitters, receivers, and coding schemes to increase data rate and decrease bit error rate of an optical data link are disclosed. Data is transmitted across the link with a less than nominal bit error rate (BER), by encoding the data using a forward error correction (FEC) code or by requesting retransmission of transmitted packets in error. Data is transmitted at a speed that introduces errors at a rate that is in excess of the nominal BER but that may be corrected using the FEC code or retransmission so that the data may be received with less than the nominal BER. The data rate is increased as the link operating speed is increased beyond the overhead required by the FEC codes or retransmission. High speed FEC encoders and decoders facilitating such transmission are disclosed.

Method and transmitter for an efficient packet data transfer in a transmission protocol with repeat requests

In a method for the transmission of data packets (D) from a transmitter (TR) to a receiver (RE) identification of transmitted data packets are stored. Defective data packets (D) are detected by the receiver (RE), status messages (S) which request defective data packets for retransmission are sent from the receiver (RE) to the transmitter (TR) and retransmissions of requested data packets are performed according to the status messages (S). The transmitter (TR) evaluates a first status message (S11) with an identification of at least one first requested data packet and retransmits the first data packet. The transmitter (TR) then initializes a timing unit according to the retransmission of the first data packet, wherein the timing unit or a threshold for the timing unit is attributable to the first data packet. When the transmitter evaluates a further status message (S12) and detects at least one further data packet that is requested for a retransmission, it selects the further data packet if the timing unit has reached the threshold or if the identification of the further data packet is different from the identification of the first data packets. Only the selected data packets are retransmitted. A transmitter and software programs embodying the invention are also described.

Transferring data such as files

Transferring data (such as files) on an end-to-end, high-speed packet-switched network connection (a "virtual circuit") or on a circuit. An out-of-band path is used for signaling and status messages (control). The same, or a separate, out-of-band path may be used to retransmit chunks of data that were received with errors or that were not received at all. By simplifying the data being sent over the high-speed (virtual) circuit, the resources of the (virtual) circuit are used efficiently since less overhead is required. Further, since the size of the file to be transferred can be predetermined, and since any retransmissions can be made over a path other than the (virtual) circuit, the (virtual) circuit that best meets the needs of the data transfer can be selected, thereby further increasing the efficiency with which the (virtual) circuit is used.

Harq protocol with synchronous retransmissions

The present invention relates to a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) method for transmitting data packets from a transmitting entity to a receiving entity via a data channel. Further, the present invention is related to mobile stations, base stations, radio network controllers and communication systems performing in the HARQ method. To overcome problems resulting from asynchronous retransmissions, the present invention provides a HARQ method sending retransmissions synchronous. According to the method, a feedback message is received from the receiving entity at the transmitting entity and, in case the feedback message indicates that the data packet has not been received successfully, a retransmission data packet is transmitted to the receiving entity after a predetermined time span upon having received said feedback message. The receiving entity soft combines the retransmission data packet with the previously received data packet.

Retransmission method with soft combining in a telecommunications system

An automatic repeat request mechanism (such as Type II / III hybrid ARQ) which includes (soft or hard) combining of initially transmitted and retransmitted versions of a packet, is provided for retransmission of erroneous packets. According to the present invention, in association with each retransmission, there is outband signaling from a transmitter to a receiver that unambiguously indicates when, e.g. the exact time or physical location, the first transmission of the packet was carried out, so that it is possible to combine the retransmitted version with the previous version(s) of the packet. Soft combining requires that the initial packet and the retransmitted packet be identical. In an embodiment of the invention, in order to overcome this problem, the information that needs to be changed between the initial transmission and the retransmission(s) of a packet is sent outband with other outband signaling information. Thus, the retransmitted packet can be maintained unchanged and the requirement for identical packets in soft combining is met.

Gang migration of virtual machines using cluster-wide deduplication

Gang migration refers to the simultaneous live migration of multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) from one set of physical machines to another in response to events such as load spikes and imminent failures. Gang migration generates a large volume of network traffic and can overload the core network links and switches in a datacenter. In this paper, we present an approach to reduce the network overhead of gang migration using global deduplication (GMGD). GMGD identifies and eliminates the retransmission of duplicate memory pages among VMs running on multiple physical machines in the cluster. The design, implementation and evaluation of a GMGD prototype is described using QEMU / KVM VMs. Evaluations on a 30-node Gigabit Ethernet cluster having 10 GigE core links shows that GMGD can reduce the network traffic on core links by up to 65% and the total migration time of VMs by up to 42% when compared to the default migration technique in QEMU / KVM. Furthermore, GMGD has a smaller adverse performance impact on network-bound applications.
