Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus can include: (i) a layer 3 point of attachment having an input configured to receive handoff indicative information from a mobile device substantially in parallel with the handoff indicative information being received in a layer 2 handoff function; and (ii) logic configured to perform a handoff facilitating action in response to the handoff indicative information.
Abstract:
A compound, represented by formula (I): wherein A, B, R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R9, and R10 are as defined herein, or an enantiomer, diastereoisomer or tautomer thereof, including a salt, ester or derivative thereof, as an inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase.
Abstract:
Particular embodiments provide an access gateway that facilitates communication between a plurality of access technologies. The access gateway facilitates data communication with an access terminal through a bearer path. A radio resource manager is configured to provide radio resource management functions for the communications. The radio resource manager is decoupled from the bearer path and provides control of radio transmission characteristics for the bearer path to the gateway. Because the radio resource manager is not in the bearer path, the access gateway may be access technology agnostic. Thus, the access gateway does not need to have access-specific modules based on the radio technology for each bearer path.
Abstract:
Particular embodiments provide an optimal allocation of a bearer manager or home agent. In one embodiment, a message is received from a mobile node requesting access to a visiting network that is different from a home network for the mobile node. An authentication request is sent to the home network requesting authentication for access. The authentication request indicates that a home agent has not been assigned. The home AAA server then sends a response that indicates the visiting AAA server can assign a home agent for the mobile node. The visiting AAA server then assigns a home agent that is optimally determined. The visiting home agent is different from a home agent that is found in the mobile node's home network. When a registration request is received, an IP gateway may send the registration request to the visiting home agent, which may not be sent back to the home network.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a system and method for offloading selected data traffic in logical tunnels to the Internet. The offloading provides another data path for selected data traffic that can relieve the burden on a mobile operator's network, such as the backhaul and core networks. As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has increased. Upgrading the existing network that was designed for voice calls is not desirable or practical for many mobile operators. This disclosure provides systems and methods for offloading data to the Internet at a router to relieve congestion on the mobile operator's network.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method can include: (i) assigning an attribute to each of a plurality of processors, and designating one of the plurality of processors as a proxy processor; (ii) when a user session begins using a first of the plurality of processors, sending a first notification message to a server; and (iii) when a rebooting of the first processor occurs: (a) suppressing a second notification message from the first processor in the proxy processor; and (b) sending a third notification message with the attribute to the server to enable the server to modify a user file in the server using the attribute.
