  • Publication number: 20210120474
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a method of carrying out a handover process. After receiving a handover message (HOM(13)) that indicates the initiation of the handover process with respect to a moving node (13), a handover control node (20) addresses its next token (T(21)) to the moving node (13) and not to its formerly allocated downstream node (21) in its original wireless token ring system (2). In case that the moving node (13) receives said token (T(21)) and sends thereafter an acknowledgement to the handover control node (20) and an own token (T) to its allocated downstream node (21) in the enlarged wireless token ring system (2), the handover process is deemed to be completed and the moving node (13) forms the newly allocated downstream node to the handover control node (20) in the enlarged wireless token ring system (2).

  • Patent number: 10985821
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting broadcast beam patterns of a wavefront emitted by an antenna array based on the velocities of devices communicatively coupled to the base station associated with the antenna array. The broadcast beam patterns can be adjusted by modifying the broadcast mode or at least one phase, amplitude, or power of the at least one antenna associated with the base station. Adjusting the beam pattern, for example between multiple beams and a single unified beam, based on device types can improve the quality of service for the devices and reduce the processing burden of the base station.

    Abstract: A method for providing and maintaining secure storage of data includes cloaking the data by retrieving, from a database and using a first set of user-specific cloaking sequences and a first mapping, a first set of hidden sequences, and applying the data and the first set of hidden sequences as inputs to a cloaking algorithm. The cloaked data is stored in a persistent memory. The method further includes, during a later, second time period, re-cloaking the cloaked data by uncloaking the cloaked data using the first set of hidden sequences, retrieving, from the database and using the first set of user-specific cloaking sequences and a different, second mapping, a second set of one or more hidden sequences, and applying the uncloaked data and the second set of hidden sequences as inputs to the cloaking algorithm. The re-cloaked data is stored in the persistent memory.

  • Patent number: 10986016
    Abstract: A differentiated routing system includes an electronic service in communication with an ingress gateway that receives a communication service, such as a call from a terminal, over a trunk. The service receives a request from the ingress gateway for establishing a communication service for the calling party terminal. The service obtains information associated with the calling party terminal, which may be based on the trunk and its relationship to a customer, in which the information is to be used for applying at least one of a routing decision and policy decision to the communication service, and appends a tag to the request based on the information. The service may then transmit the request appended with the information to a routing device, which may then use the information when providing the service.

  • Patent number: 10985459
    Abstract: An antenna structure of few components and reduced size which functions by switching between components to achieve radiation in three different frequency bands includes two radiating portions, a feeding portion, a matching circuit, and a first switching circuit. With the first switching circuit closed, current flows along a first radiating portion to activate a first frequency band. A second radiating portion obtains the current from the first switching circuit by coupling with the first radiating portion, to activate a second frequency band. Current in the first radiating portion can activate a third frequency band. With the first switching circuit open, current in the first radiating portion activates radiation in the first frequency band. The second radiating portion can radiate in second frequency band by coupling current from the first radiating portion. Frequency multiplication of the first frequency band can activate the third frequency band.
