Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for releasing information to improve cell selection in different resource control states. To improve communication performance, a user equipment (UE) 110 releases dedicated cell-selection information 306, which may not be appropriate as the UE 110 moves to different geographical locations and transitions to different resource control states 218. Different situations cause the UE 110 to release the dedicated cell-selection information 306, including performing a cell-selection procedure in an inactive state that selects another cell that does not support the inactive state, processing a paging message 308, or transitioning from the inactive state to an idle state. By releasing the dedicated cell-selection information 306, the UE 110 performs a future cell-selection procedure without relying on the dedicated cell-selection information.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes use of two security processors for a mobile device. In some aspects, a first security processor device embodied in a security component of an apparatus receives a user input via an input device and transmits a security condition signal to a second security processor device embodied in a System on Chip (SoC) component of the apparatus, causing the SoC component to perform a security operation. In other aspects, the first security processor receives a signal via a sensor device sensing environmental conditions surrounding the apparatus and, in response, transmits a security condition signal to the second security processor, causing the SoC component to perform a security operation. The security operation is directly controlled, maintained, and implemented by the second security processor embodied in the SoC component.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to maintaining an asynchronous communication via an intermediary. An agent executed on a device intermediary to clients and providers can receive a request from a client for an asynchronous communication between the client device and a provider device. The agent identifies a provider dynamic identifier identifying the provider. The agent uses a communication channel selection policy to determine a communication channel and a provider static identifier corresponding to the provider device. The agent maps a client dynamic identifier assigned by the server to a client static identifier of the client device. The agent generates a transmission data package including the content, a source address identifying the client dynamic identifier and a destination address identifying the provider static identifier.
