Publication number: 20130262502Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system that provide a continuous querying mechanism that analyses real-time data streams to generate relevant results. It leverages data grid and event processing technology to provide a high performance and extremely scalable continuous querying solution. An embodiment of the invention provides a flexible querying language and data storage to allow users to register their interest in specific types of data, e.g. processes. The users are notified of matching results using an event-based mechanism. In order to efficiently analyse a large amount of data, the embodiment uses a grid infrastructure that allows storage of the data across many grid nodes and distributes the query execution workload, avoiding the bottleneck represented by constantly querying a database. Continuous queries are stored in a Continuous Query Registry and that Registry is invoked every time an insert or update event occurs on the triple store.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicants: Khalifa University of Science, Technology, and Research, Emirates Telecommunications Corporation, British Telecommunications plcInventors: Basim Majeed, Ali Afzal, Marcello Leida, Maurizio Colombo

Publication number: 20130260810Abstract: In order to re-establish a suspended RRC connection, the mobile device (101) in one example sends a connection re-establishment request message to the RAN (102) to have the suspended RRC connection re-established. The RAN node may need to attempt to retrieve the RRC connection data (either from memory or if from another network element if stored elsewhere/if the RRC connection was suspended by another RAN node) and verifies whether the RRC connection is valid. When verified, the mobile device (101) receives, in response to the message, a connection re-establishment command message from the RAN (102). In response to the message, the mobile device (101) re-establishes the RRC connection with the RAN (102), using the stored RRC connection information, and sends a connection re-establishment complete message to the RAN (102). The mobile device (101) and RAN (102) may then resume user plane data communication with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: Research In Motion LimitedInventor: Venkata Ratnakar Rao Rayavarapu
