Abstract: Apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide improved, dynamic medical body area network communication among available frequency bands in a healthcare environment are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes at least one processor to determine, based on a plurality of control messages indicating availability of a second frequency spectrum and timing of receipt of the plurality of control messages, a first mode or a second mode for medical body area network (MBAN) communication, the first mode specifying MBAN communication in a first frequency spectrum and the second mode specifying MBAN communication in the first frequency spectrum and the second frequency spectrum. The example apparatus includes at least one communication interface to receive the control messages and transmit an indication of a missed control message.

Abstract: A coil support (28) is configured to include a coil support body part (281) that is made of resin and that has abutment surfaces (281c, 281d) to be in respective direct abutments with radial inner surfaces of adjoining field windings (24) and an insertion hole (281a) that is formed along a radial direction of a rotary shaft (21), a bolt (282) with a hexagonal hole that has a base end part fixed to a rotor yoke (22) and a tip end part projecting outward in a radial direction and that is inserted into the insertion hole (281a) of the coil support body part (281), and a disc spring (283) that is interposed between the rotor yoke (22) and the coil support body part (281) and that presses the coil support body part (281) toward the field windings (24), and to have a spot-faced part (281b) that is formed on a radial outside of the insertion hole (281a) to have a larger diameter than the insertion hole (281a).

Abstract: In some embodiments, a data packet may be received at a leaf switch. A port-channel associated with a destination port for the data packet may be identified, and the data packet may be transmitted to the destination port via the identified port-channel.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a transmitting UE is engaged with a target UE in a communication session supported at least in part via a QoS channel on which audio traffic is primarily carried and a non-QoS channel on which non-audio traffic is carried. The transmitting UE obtains audio data and non-audio data for transmission to the target UE during the communication session, and identifies a subset of higher-priority non-audio data within the obtained non-audio data. The transmitting UE transmits a stream of packets including both the audio data and the subset of higher-priority audio data over the QoS channel instead of the non-QoS channel based on the identification. The target UE receives the stream of packets on the QoS channel, and the target UE identifies and extracts the audio data and the higher-priority non-audio data. After extraction, the target UE plays the audio data and processes the higher-priority non-audio data.

Abstract: A first access node receives, from a wireless device, a first indicator. This first indicator corresponds to a downlink reference signal power as measured by the wireless device. The first indicator is associated with a second access node. The first access node determines a second indicator. The second indicator corresponds to an uplink reference signal power as measured by the first access node. The second indicator is associated with the wireless device. Based on the first indicator and the second indicator, a handoff of the wireless device from the first access node to a second access node is initiated.

Abstract: A dynamic service routing protocol (DSRP) communicates messages (e.g., containing information regarding network routes and tables) across a partial-mesh network of nodes. Gateway nodes (i.e., computing devices that operate as a final sink point for a service route) are connected to edge routers (i.e., computing devices that operate as a transit for a service route) but not necessarily to other host nodes. Gateway nodes asynchronously and/or dynamically send DSRP messages for updating the router nodes' routing tables and to minimize manual route configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an access method for solving ambiguity between an initial access mobile station and a base station, wherein the ambiguity occurs in a carrier aggregation environment. When a base station transmits a downlink message including different downlink ID information through plural downlink carriers, a base station obtains the corresponding downlink ID information through a downlink carrier used by the mobile station. The mobile station transmits an uplink message using the obtained downlink ID information, and the base station extracts the downlink ID information from the uplink message in order to confirm which downlink carrier the mobile station uses.

Abstract: A method in an electronic device and a system for use in a communication network including a core network and at least one access network are described. Intermediate service platforms in an access network process data bound from a base station towards a core network, and vice versa. A first data channel or stream is processed by the intermediate service platform. Exemplary embodiments bypass the intermediate service platform by intercepting a second data channel or stream bound for the intermediate service platform. The data in the second data channel or stream is processed and inserted into a data channel or stream downstream of the intermediate service platform.
