TL;DR: In this article, a beam splitter is used to select the photons in the beam path of a low-power light source and then the photons are split up by the beams splitters (ST1, ST2) arranged one after the other in the path of the light source.
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide an inexpensive method and an arrangement for generating binary sequences of random numbers. The invention should also be easy to integrate onto a chip card. The inventive method is based on the principle of the random path selection of photons in a beam splitter and the generation of a random numbers by means of two detectors (D10; D21) situated downstream of a beam splitter (ST2). According to the invention, a low-power light source (L) is used to produce the photons and an additional beam splitter (ST1) is arranged upstream of the original beam splitter (ST2). The photons emitted by the light source (L) for a set measuring period are split up by the beams splitters (ST1; ST2) arranged one after the other in the beam path of the light source (L). The random sequence is generated when the splitting up of the photons is matched with a predetermined photon model. The invention provides an inexpensive random-check generator which is easy to integrate onto a chip card, especially because of the light source (L) used.

TL;DR: This demonstration shows how Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) can be used by a network provider to dynamically provide required mobile core network functions in case of a large ”Mega” event like a soccer game or a music festival.
Abstract: This demonstration shows how Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) [1] can be used by a network provider to dynamically provide required mobile core network functions in case of a large ”Mega” event like a soccer game or a music festival. Economical reasons may not justify the installation or continuous maintenance of expensive dedicated hardware which is necessary to cope with the high load generated by visitors of such an event only in some parts of the network and only for a short time. The Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in nowadays’ mobile LTE networks consists of several, specialized components: first pure control-plane elements like Mobility Management Entities (MME) which can be installed on virtualized IT hardware in the cloud already today and second gateways which are a mixture of controland user-plane. This demonstration focuses on the Serving Gateway (SGW) which switches GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) tunnels in a LTE network. In such an LTE network with ≈ 10 mio. subscribers about 10 SGW devices are in use. On the way to a successful deployment of NFV-based EPC components, several challenges have to be met. This includes the deployment, interconnection and configuration of LTE components in the cloud. As such, entities that instantiate and orchestrate the virtualized functions are required. The presented demonstration shows a scenario of NFVbased dynamic capacity addition to a LTE mobile network, indicated in Figure 1. By incorporating the new demands added by the increased access capacity, virtualized SGW instances are launched at the optimal locations in the network, by re-programming SDN enabled network elements (NE+). Figure 1(a) shows the normal configuration of the LTE network including the statically located SGW devices as well as

TL;DR: This evaluation compares the Quality of Experience (QoE) for HTTP streaming in a prototype NGMN testbed with WiFi and 3G UMTS/HSDPA support and complements the QoE estimations with network QoS parameters such as throughput and delay, and transport layer statistics.
Abstract: The evolution of wireless network standards, e.g., GSM/GPRS, UMTS, WiFi, WiMAX, and end-user devices has paved the way towards Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN), where users are always connected through multiple radio access networks. NGMN technologies target to improve the user experience especially for mobile data and multimedia services, which are in line with user expectations evident from, for instance, the increasingly popular mobile HTTP video streaming. To understand the quality that can be offered to the user in NGMNs, we compare the Quality of Experience (QoE) for HTTP streaming in a prototype NGMN testbed with WiFi and 3G UMTS/HSDPA support. We use CUBIC TCP as the transport layer protocol as it is typically the default TCP variant, e.g., in Android phones. We complement the QoE estimations with network QoS parameters such as throughput and delay, and transport layer statistics. The results of our evaluation show that (i) video QoE remains stable in WiFi even for high packet losses compared to UMTS, (ii) QoE in UMTS is sensitive to packet loss even for low loss rates due to high variations in the network QoS, namely, throughput and delay, (iii) the decrease in QoE and QoS in HSDPA is due to its negative interactions with the aggressive congestion control of CUBIC TCP, and (iv) handover from WiFi to HSDPA degrades QoE.

TL;DR: In this paper, a process for dynamic channel allocation in mobile radio networks, wherein priorities which are increased or decreased in dependence on interference occurring in the channel concerned are established for the individual channels, is described.
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for dynamic channel allocation in mobile radio networks, wherein priorities which are increased or decreased in dependence on interference occurring in the channel concerned are established for the individual channels. When the propagation conditions are satisfactory, channels with low priority can be allocated. The mean of values dependent on the extent of interference can be formed in order to increase and decrease the priority. In addition, various priority lists can be established for various interference and/or load situations.
