A technique for avoiding a ping-pong effect on active-passive paths in a storage system managing one or more logical storage units (LUNs) on behalf of one or more host systems. A first path to the LUNs is designated as an active path and a second path to the LUNs is designated as a passive path. The first path is also designated as a preferred path to the LUNs. In response to a path failure in which a host system cannot access the LUNs on the first path, a failover operation is implemented wherein the second path is designated as the active path and the first path is designated as the passive path. The designation of the first path as the preferred path to the LUNs is not changed. Subsequent failback operations are conditionally inhibited so that only the failover host that initiated the failover is permitted to initiate a failback.

Efficient design to implement LDPC decoder. The efficient design presented herein provides for a solution that is much easier, smaller, and has less complexity than other possible solutions. The use of a ping-pong memory structure (or pseudo-dual port memory structure) in conjunction with a metric generator near the decoder's front end allows parallel bit / check node processing. An intelligently operating barrel shifter operates with a message passing memory that is operable to store updated edges messages with respect to check nodes as well as updated edges messages with respect to bit nodes. Using an efficient addressing scheme allows the same memory structure to store the two types of edges messages with respect to bit nodes: (1) corresponding to information bits and (2) corresponding to parity bits. In addition, an intelligently designed hardware macro block may be instantiated a number of times into the decoder design to support ever greater design efficiency.

For each access point in a first network of a first type, a mobile device identifies a frame error rate of communications. The frame error rate is measured while simultaneously communicating with a second network of a second type. The mobile device stores the frame error rate in association with an access point identifier of the access point. Upon encountering, the first network again, the mobile device prioritizes the selection of an access point based on a ranking of the access points according to their associated frame error rates from lowest to highest. Further, the mobile device may use adjusted hysteresis parameters for making a handover decision in order to reduce a “ping-pong” selection between access points. Additionally or alternatively, the mobile device may select or suggest a channel of the access point based on a signal strength of signals from the second network.

The invention discloses a mobile load balancing (MLB) method which is applied to a wireless cellular mobile communication system and realizes load balance between adjacent cells in a same cell cluster by taking a cell cluster containing a plurality of cells as a base unit. Concretely, each cell in the cell cluster initiates MLB operation to the adjacent cells according to the load state per se and the load states of the adjacent cells and carries out load transfer with the adjacent cells. The MLB operation initiated by each cell comprises active MLB initiated by a light load cell and passive MLB initiated by a serious overload cell. The cells in the cell cluster can periodically initiate MLB operation for many times, thereby realizing load balance gradually and stably between two adjacent cells, solving the problem of overload of the cell subjected to MLB, avoiding the occurrence of a ping-pong effect, and increasing the convergence rate of load balancing. The adjacent cells exchange load state information, thereby saving the network signaling overhead, lowering the load of network interaction, increasing the utilization ratio of wireless resources, and furthermore ensuring the stability of the network.
