Abstract:
A client device capable of utilizing a plurality of media for facilitating communication. The plurality of media may include a first medium implemented based on a first set of communication standards and a second medium implemented based on a second set of communication standards, wherein the second set of communication standards is different from the first set of communication standards. The client device may include a protocol module for translating a user request into a data set, wherein the user request may pertain to a communication feature among a plurality of communication features. The client device may also include a mapping module for ascertaining a utilized medium that is utilized by the client device, wherein the utilized medium is one of the plurality of media. The mapping module may also convert the data set into at least part of a signal suitable for signaling through the utilized medium.
Abstract:
A mobility architectural arrangement, which includes a set of software modules, is provided. A subset of the set of software modules implements a DiVitas description protocol (DDP), which is configured to transport data packets between applications clients on a handset and application servers within an enterprise. The set of modules includes a client DDP, which is configured to be loaded onto a mobility client of the handset. The client DDP is configured to perform at least one of sending the data packets from a first application client and receiving the data packets from a first application server. The set of modules includes a server DDP, which is configured to he loaded onto a mobility server managed by the enterprise. The server DDP is configured to perform at least one of sending the data packets from the first application server and receiving the data packets from the first application client.
Abstract:
A method for reducing data loss when a client device performs a handoff from a first radio station to a second radio station. The method includes detecting imminence of the handoff using one or more criteria. The method also includes buffering incoming data upon the imminence of the handoff to generate buffered incoming data, the incoming data being addressed to the client device. The method further includes transmitting the buffered incoming data to the client device through the second radio station if the handoff is completed and if the buffered incoming data is not discarded.
Abstract:
Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to route packets of data between a data source node and a data destination node in an ad hoc, wireless network, such as a Bluetooth scatternet. Data routing tables are provided to each node, and header information extracted from a packet header is used by such tables. Routing of a packet of data is effectuated in a hop-by-hop manner to effectuate the communication of the packet from the data source node to the data destination node.
