Abstract:
An exemplary method and system are described for providing an easy to use interface for establishing multi-media audio conference calls involving a leader and a plurality of participants. A web-based interface can be used by the leader for establishing, controlling, and providing information associated with the call. Participants can also access the web-site for receiving information associated with the call and receiving status information regarding the conference call. In one embodiment, an address organizer can be used to select participants by the leader and schedule an audio conference call with the recipients having the opportunity to accept, decline, or indicate an alternative telephone number at which they can be reached.
Abstract:
A wireless node in a wireless network examines data packets directed to itself (i.e., value in destination address field indicates that the wireless node is an intended recipient)for presence of anomalies that suggest intrusion. The data packet is examined as part of the normal course of operation of the node. Upon detection of an anomaly, the wireless node sends a message packet containing details of the anomaly to a sentinel device. The sentinel device processes the anomalies to determine if a possibility of intrusion is indicated, and activates a spy routine in the wireless node. The spy routine enables further investigation into the intrusion. As components (such as wireless nodes) in the wireless network operate normally (normal operations) until an anomalous condition/event occurs, the additional power requirements for intrusion detection are reduced. If intrusion is detected, appropriate actions, such as alerting an operator, are taken to mitigate the intrusion.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a first receiver configured to receive a first wireless signal, and a first timing module configured to wake up the first receiver from a first sleep state and to generate a synchronization signal indicating a wakeup time of the first receiver. The electronic device also includes a second receiver configured to receive a second wireless signal, and a second timing module configured to receive the synchronization signal and to wake up the second receiver from a second sleep state based on the synchronization signal.
Abstract:
Allowing for resource attributes that may change dynamically while the resource is in use, provides for dynamic changes to the manner in which such resources are managed. Management of dynamic resource attributes by clusterware involves new entry points to clusterware agent modules, through which resource-specific user-specified instructions for discovering new values for resource attributes, and for performing a user-specified action in response to the new attribute values, are invoked. A clusterware policy manager may know ahead of time that a particular resource has dynamic attributes or may be notified when a resource's dynamic attribute has changed and, periodically or in response to the notification, request that the agent invoke the particular resource-specific instructions for discovering new values for attributes for the particular resource and/or for performing a user-specified action in response to the new attribute values. During the majority of this process, the resource remains available.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for improving WLAN spectrum efficiency and reducing interference by flow control comprising determining if at least one data packet is entering a receive buffer; determining if the utilization of the receive buffer is greater than an overflow threshold; determining if a wireless device is in power save mode, wherein the wireless device comprises the receive buffer, a WLAN transceiver and a send buffer for storing packets from an interface module to the WLAN transceiver; determining if the send buffer is empty; setting a power management bit to “1” in either a top-most packet in the send buffer or a NULL packet; and using the WLAN transceiver for transmitting either the top-most packet or the NULL packet to an access point.
