Abstract: Improved non-cellular (e.g., Wi-Fi) link integration with a cellular (e.g., LTE) network is described. The improved link integration can relate to utilizing an eNodeB device (e.g., residing in a radio access network portion of a cellular network) as an anchor point rather than a packet data network gateway device (e.g., residing in a core network portion of the cellular network) utilized by other approaches. The improved link integration can maintain full compliance with or support for other approaches, and can reduce signaling overhead, simplify quality-of-service management, and/or provide a more rapid reaction to changes of access, particularly in cases where the eNodeB device and a non-cellular access point device are co-located.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to providing a web service. For example, an implementation includes a gateway to receive client certificate information from the client computing device and to determine a trust state of the client computing device based on the client certificate information. The gateway is also to receive a service request from the client computing device and to modify the service request. The implementation also includes a web service logic layer to receive the modified service request including the trust state and to determine a level of service associated with the client computing device based on the modified service request.

Abstract: Examples include volume and snapshot replication. In some examples, a user-initiated snapshot of a volume at a source array may be created, wherein the user-initiated snapshot has a pending status and the volume is a member of a set of volumes in a replication group. A synchronization snapshot may be created of the volume at a periodic synchronization time. The synchronization snapshot may have a pending status. Each snapshot of the volume may be stored at the source array and each snapshot may be recorded via a representative entry in an original snapshot list. The volume may be incrementally replicated to a target array such that the target array has a replica of the volume at the source array via a replication engine.

Abstract: The present invention sets forth a network-centric service distribution architecture that integrates a wireless access system in the residence, SOHO, business or public environment through the use of a local broadband network, such as a Residential-Business Broadband Network (RBN), to the service provider's broadband transport network and to a service provider's broadband packet network. The system includes Media Terminal Adapter is coupled via the RBN to the access port(s) and via the service provider's broadband transport network to the service provider's broadband packet network. The access port is coupled to the Media Terminal Adapter via either a RBN (e.g., a Local Area Network—LAN) or simply via a traditional POTS line interface. The access port receives and sends wireless signals to a plurality of RBN devices, allowing the user to control theses devices remotely from the residence, business, SOHO or public environments.

Abstract: A secure communication system utilizes multiple “decoy” data signals to hide one or more true data signals. The true data signal(s) are encrypted, and received at a scrambling unit according to an original set of channel assignments. The channel assignments are optically switched with multiple decoy data signals to form a multi-channel “scrambled” output signal that is thereafter transmitted across a communication system. The greater the number of decoy signals, the greater the security provided to the open-air system. Further security may be provided by encrypting the decoy signals prior to scrambling and/or by utilizing a spatially diverse set of transmitters and receivers. Without the knowledge of the channel assignment(s) for the true signal(s), an eavesdropper may be able to intercept (and, with time, perhaps descramble) the open-air transmitted signals, will not be able to distinguish the true data from the decoys without also knowing the channel assignment(s).
