Abstract: A system for error avoidance and automatic recovery is combined with the accurate and reliable transmission system. The present invention provides a multi-variable control system using remote control with a wireless communication system. A plurality of closed loop control systems are connected through the wireless communication system. A master controller monitors the closing of each of the loops in the system and stores information for the status of the control loops in a control table at a control center. When a state variable is transmitted to the control center, a master controller notes that the initial value of the closed loop control system has been set. When the control center sends a control action to equipment or a process this closes the loop, the master controller notes that the closed loop control system has been closed for a particular time. If the closed loop control system does not get a loop closed, the control center immediately detects it.

Abstract: Preventing duplicate sources on a protocol connection that uses network addresses, protocols and port numbers to identify connections that include port number translation. In response to an inbound IPsec packet from a remote source client, a determination is made as to whether or not a port number is available within a range of port numbers that comply with a security association governing the connection. If so, an available port number is assigned to the connection, thereby avoiding a possibility of a duplicate source. If a port number is not available, the packet is rejected.

Abstract: Channel reservation in time division duplex for devices in systems involving, for example user devices and access points, may be accomplished using channel reservation request messages, such as request-to-send (RTS) messages and channel reservation grant messages, such as clear-to-send (CTS) messages. A method for channel reservation may include preparing a frame including at least one channel reservation request message and at least one channel reservation grant message. The preparing may include multiplexing the at least one channel reservation request message and the at least one channel reservation grant message at least by frequency-division multiplexing. The method may also include transmitting the frame from a first node to a second node, wherein the channel reservation request message and the channel reservation grant message relate to communications between the first node and the second node.

Abstract: The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) includes a plurality of wireless mobile nodes and a plurality of wireless communication links connecting the nodes together. A method for operating a MANET includes predicting future-needed network services, network resources and network configurations in the MANET. A network response is predicted, based upon the predicted future-needed network services, network resources and network configurations. The MANET is adjusted based upon the predicted network response before the future-needed network services, network resources and network configurations are actually needed in the MANET.

Abstract: A network-based video encoding and decoding system encodes and decodes remotely displayed user application data on a centralized desktop computer. Remotely displayed user application data are screen captures of a browsing application run by the centralized desktop computer on user's behalf. The encoding system optimizes its encoding performance using back channel information which includes real time network capacity information and decoder feedback. The encoding system consults a back channel information manager to dynamically adjust encoding parameters. Based on the real time network capacity information received, the encoding system adjusts its capturing sampling rate. Based on encoding errors identified by the decoding system, the encoding system selectively re-send previously encoded frames/blocks, or send intra frames on demand to allow the decoding system to correct encoding errors.

Abstract: In principle, an I-frame is inserted every 50 frames and other frames are made P-frames. If the maximum amount of data that can be received by a terminal device to which a transmission is to be made is 300 KB, then frames up to a 144th frame for which the amount of data after compression will not exceed 300 KB is adopted as a first partitioned moving picture file. Since the 145th frame is the leading frame of the next partitioned moving picture file, it is made an I-frame. Frames from the 145th frame to a 289th frame are made a second partitioned moving picture file, and frames from a 290th frame to a 411th frame are made a third partitioned moving picture file. Since the leading frame of a partitioned moving picture file represents one complete frame, the moving picture can be reproduced and the number of partitions can be reduced.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present application enable a user to map a network topology and to then dynamically filter the map display by hiding or showing nodes based on discovery characteristics, such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) status, Active Directory (AD) Domain Controllers (DC) status, group membership status, etc. to allow customization of maps views. In particular, a topology mapping is formed by collecting topology data of a network and storing this topology data. Filtering criteria are received from a user, and the stored topology data is filtered using this received filtering criteria. The filtered topology data is then displayed to the user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling cellular reselection attempts on a computing device is disclosed. A computing device performs an automated process to repeatedly check the adequacy of the serving cell that it is currently assigned to. The computing device performs the check to determine whether it should perform a neighbor search and cell reselection. If the computing device determines the presence of particular conditions, it can perform the reselection by a default automated process. On the other hand, if the computing device determines criteria based, at least in part, on past instances, the computing device can modify the default automated process and skip attempts at performing neighbor search and cell reselections.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a control command to transmit a random access preamble on a first secondary cell. The wireless device repeatedly transmits the random access preamble until a random access response corresponding to the random access preamble is received or a predetermined number of transmissions is reached. If the predetermined number of transmissions is reached without receiving the random access response, the wireless device stops transmission of the random access preamble and keeps a connection with the base station active.

Abstract: In a MIMO wireless communication system, a plurality of base stations (BSs) are provided each of which can transmit signals to, and receive signals transmitted from, one or more user equipments (UEs). The BSs are also organized into a plurality of groups. In a given group of BSs serving one or more UEs, those serving BSs coordinate with each other to simultaneously transmit signals to the one or more served UEs, and one or more of the served UEs feed back information to one or more of those serving BSs. The fed back information incorporates inter-group noise information related to interference between different BS groups. The method involves processing signals for simultaneous transmission by BSs of a group to one or more UEs served by that group and using the information fed back to the BSs of that group to improve system performance.
