Abstract: The technology described herein enhances the operation of a wireless repeater system to set an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) timer. In one implementation, the wireless repeater wirelessly receives a receive data signal having a receive energy level. The wireless repeater periodically processes the receive energy level per the AGC timer to calculate an AGC amount. The wireless repeater also applies the AGC amount to the received data signal to generate a transmit data signal, and wirelessly transfers the transmit data signal. The wireless RF repeater determines an energy fluctuation in the receive data signal, and when the energy fluctuation in the receive data signal exceeds a fluctuation threshold, the wireless repeater decreases the AGC timer.

Abstract: A wireless relay to serve User Equipment (UE) over a wireless communication network and a wireline communication network. A wireless access point exchanges user signaling with the UE and exchanges S1-MME signaling with an Ethernet switch. The Ethernet switch exchanges the S1-MME signaling between the wireless access point and a Mobility Management Entity (MME) over a wireline communication network. The Ethernet switch exchanges S11 signaling between the MME and a Local Gateway (L-GW) over the wireline communication network. The L-GW exchanges the S11 signaling with the Ethernet switch. The wireless access point exchanges user data between the UE and the L-GW responsive to the S1-MME signaling. The L-GW exchanges the user data between the wireless access point and the Ethernet switch responsive to the S11 signaling. The Ethernet switch exchange the user data between the L-GW and a Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW) over a wireless communication network.

Abstract: A method for providing high availability computing service. The method comprises monitoring a high availability computing service by monitoring applications, each monitoring application executing on a different computer system, one of the monitoring applications executing in a primary role, and the remaining monitoring applications executing in a secondary role. The method further comprises writing a last touched time value into a DNS resource record of a domain name system (DNS) server by the monitoring application executing in the primary role, reading the last touched time value in the DNS resource record of the DNS server by each of the monitoring applications executing in the secondary role. The method comprises determining by one of the monitoring applications executing in the secondary role to assume the primary role based on determining that the last touched time value in the DNS resource record of the DNS server exceeds a predetermined age threshold.

Abstract: An Open Mobile Alliance client mobile communication device simulator. A computer system comprising at least one processor and a memory, an application, when executed by the processor, sets up a configuration file for a simulated device, retrieves test conditions for device capabilities to be configured on the device from a data store, builds an expected test result file in an Open Mobile Alliance tree structure with tree node set up with device settings and leaf node with device setting values, sends a request to the Open Mobile Alliance Device Management server for initiating the device configuration, receives an extensible markup language payload from the Open Mobile Alliance Device Management server for a mobile communication device, processes contents of the extensible markup language payload, and builds a test file in the form of an Open Mobile Alliance tree structure wherein the contents of the test file resides in memory contiguously.

Abstract: A wireless relay controls wireless scanning in a wireless data communication network. The wireless relay performs a 360-degree wireless signal scan, and attaches to a source wireless access point responsive to the wireless signal scan. The wireless relay reports results from the wireless signal scan to a relay information server responsive to the attachment. The wireless relay receives attachment data from the relay information server responsive to the reporting. If the wireless relay loses connectivity to the source wireless access point, then the wireless relay determines reattachment attributes based on the attachment data, and performs another wireless signal scan based on the reattachment attributes.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) registers with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The UE registers with an Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over the LTE network. The UE registers with a Wireless Fidelity (WIF) network. The UE receives a status request from the LTE network responsive to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite for the UE received at the IMS. The UE transfers a status response to the LTE network that indicates the WIFI network responsive to the status request. The UE receives the SIP invite from the IMS over the WIFI network. The UE exchanges user data for the media session over the WIFI network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable storage media for scheduling physical resource blocks (PRBs) comprises a communication radio access network (RAN) base station with a scheduler that assigns one or more PRBs to a communication channel of a user device. The PRBs can be prioritized according to a radio frequency (rf) interference level across the contiguous band of PRBs. The rf interference level of a communication channel of the user device can be monitored by the scheduler. The scheduler assigns one or more of the prioritized PRBs according to the rf interference level of the PRBs and according to the rf interference level of the communication channel of the user device.

Abstract: A Long-Term Evolution (LTE) communication system to facilitate updating network topology information when a mobile wireless repeater changes its attachment comprises a network topology server, a former macro LTE base station to which the mobile wireless repeater was previously attached, and a new macro LTE base station to which the mobile wireless repeater is presently attached. The network topology is server configured to receive updated attachment information transmitted from the mobile wireless repeater and transfer an attachment scan instruction for delivery to the former macro LTE base station and the new macro LTE base station. The former and new macro LTE base stations are configured to determine network attachment information for one or more network wireless repeaters and transfer the network attachment information for delivery to the network topology server. The network topology server is further configured to receive the network attachment information and update a network topology map.

Abstract: A computer system transitions a virtual machine from a host computer to a target computer having a security key. The host computer transfers a security phrase to the target computer. The target computer applies the security key to the security phrase to generate a security response. That target computer transfers the security response to the host computer. The host computer determines whether the target computer can support the virtual machine based on the security response from the target computer. If the target computer is capable of supporting the virtual machine, then the host computer initiates a transition of the virtual machine from the host computer to the target computer. The determination of whether the target computer can support the virtual machine may be further based on resource availability, time-slice availability, and the other virtual machines executing on the target computer.
