The invention discloses a method, UE and network device capable of fusing network data transmission to achieve network fusion of 3GPP and WLAN. The UE is used for executing the following steps that a UE bottom layer WLAN entity encapsulates the signaling and / or the data issued by a UE upper layer entity to be a WLAN protocol format and sends the encapsulated signaling and / or data to the 3GPP access network through an air interface, and the UE bottom layer WLAN entity receives the signaling and / or the data sent by the 3GPP access network through the air interface, unpacks the signaling and / or the data and sends the unpacked signaling and / or data to the UE upper layer entity. The access network device is used for executing the following steps that an access network bottom layer WLAN entity encapsulates the signaling and / or the data issued by an access network upper layer entity to be a WLAN protocol format and sends the encapsulated signaling and / or data to the UE through the air interface, and the access network bottom layer WLAN entity receives the signaling and / or the data sent by the UE through the air interface, unpacks the signaling and / or the data and sends the unpacked signaling and / or data to the access network upper layer entity. By means of the method, UE and network device, the further fusion between the 3GPP and the WLAN is finished.

A power manager for a passive optical network, including a network statistics collector, for collecting data regarding traffic in a passive optical network (PON) including a plurality of optical network units (ONUs) on the downstream side of the PON, wherein each ONU can be in at least a sleep state and an active state, and wherein the PON transmits data in packets of data frames, a buffer for storing downstream data frames for each ONU while the ONU is in the sleep state, an activity detector for processing the data collected by the network statistics collector to generate indicators of activity levels for each ONU, and a protocol manager including a plurality of state machines for the respective plurality of ONUs, wherein each state machine governs state transition of its respective ONU to the sleep state when the activity detector indicates a low activity level for the ONU, and to the active state when the activity detector indicates a high level of activity for the ONU.

Systems and methods are disclosed that may be implemented for network management system (NMS) configuration management support for network devices using a learning and natural language processing application to capture the usage and behavior of the Command Line Interface (CLI) of a network device with the aid of a CLI knowledge model, which in one example may be ontology-based.

The invention relates to the field of access network technology, in particular a method for the geographic information-oriented management of MOCA equipment in an HFC network. The method comprises the following: 1, a step of marking the geographic information, in which a user submits the geographic information of the MOCA equipment to a server by an application program or in a WEB way; 2, a step of registering the MOCA equipment, in which after initialization is finished, the MOCA equipment submits the equipment registration information to the server at fixed time according to the set time; and 3, a step of measuring and controlling the MOCA equipment, in which the user manages the MOCA equipment through the server. When the method is used, the MOCA equipment management and maintenance personnel can manage the MOCA equipment through a physical map in real time, so the management efficiency and the maintenance efficiency for the equipment are improved; and professionals are not needed by the operator and the operation cost is saved.

A topology aware entity, such as an OSS (Operations Support System), an NMS (Network Management System) or an RM (Resource Manager), associated with an Ethernet network is configured to execute a method for topological location discovery of nodes that are added to the network. According to the method, the topology aware entity receives (step 30) a notification about a new node that has been added to the network. Then, the topology aware entity causes (step 31) an existing node to initiate a path discovery to the new node using an Ethernet Connectivity and Fault Management, CFM, protocol, such as IEE 802.1 ag or ITU-T Y.1731. The topology aware entity receives (step 32) the resulting path data from the existing node and identifies (step 33), based on the path data, a topological position of the new node in the Ethernet network. The method may be embodied as program instructions stored on a computer-readable medium.

The present invention relates to methods in a telecommunication system to provide access to data received to a centralized storage medium (DR-C) from interfacing traffic nodes in the system. The centralized storage medium is part of a Mediation and Delivery Function (MDF) which is associated with a Law Enforcement Monitoring facility (LEMF). The method comprises the following steps: identifying in the Mediation and Delivery Function (MDF), a configuration request which comprises a filtering criteria specifying type of data to be accessed, configuring in the Mediation and Delivery Function (MDF), the requested filtering criteria, receiving data (Dl) from the system to the centralized storage medium, establishing that the received data matches the filtering criteria, retaining the received data in the centralized storage medium and / or forwarding the data to the Law Enforcement Monitoring Facility.

The invention relates to a granulation plant (10) for granulation of molten material produced in a metallurgical plant. The apparatus comprises: a water injection device (20) for injecting granulation water into the molten material stream (14) to granulate the molten material; a granulation tank (18) for collecting the granulation water and material. The apparatus also includes a vapor collection hood having a vent for venting vapor from the hood, condensing the vapor, and venting the condensed vapor to the atmosphere.
