Abstract: A technique for an access node to synchronize the accessibility of a plurality of access nodes within a network is described. The technique receives an accessibility update and/or device update from a remote node. For the accessibility update, the access node compares entries in the accessibility update to the local accessibility table. If entries in the accessibility update are more up-to-date than the local accessibility table, the access node adjusts the local accessibility table to reflect the updates. The local access node compares the node identifier, heartbeat, and timestamp to determine whether and entry in the local accessibility table is up-to-date. For the device update, the access node compares entries in the device update to the local device table. If entries in the device update are more up-to-date than the local device table, the access node adjusts the local device table to reflect the updates.

Abstract: An application specific interface (API) for a service that is accessible by remote procedure calls is generated at run-time from an interface language definitions file. In operation, a client application requests a connection to a server and then a runtime API generator connects to the server and downloads an interface definition language (IDL) file that defines services provided by the server. The runtime API generator parses the IDL file and generates the corresponding service API. Subsequently, upon receiving a client application request, the API generator generates a set of instructions that, when executed, emit one or more remote procedure calls that cause the server to implement the client application request. Because the API is generated at run-time, the runtime API generator enables client applications that are implemented in dynamically typed languages to access the service by providing access to the data type metadata that cannot be expressed in such languages.

Abstract: A scheme for managing ABR live media streaming of content in a wireless radio network environment that may have radio white spot areas. Upon determining that the wireless UE device executing an ABR client application is in a radio white spot area, the current ABR live media streaming session is time-shifted for a duration based on how long a service outage may last. During the video service outage, playback of advertisements pre-populated at the wireless UE device may be commenced. When the wireless UE device exits the radio white spot area, the ABR streaming session may be resumed to play the time-shifted media content from a point adjacent to the particular segment where the ABR streaming session was time-shifted.

Abstract: A method is provided for a coordinator to manage cluster membership. In a stable state, the coordinator provides a member list to all the nodes in a node list. The member list includes nodes that are cluster members. The node list includes nodes that are or wish to be members of the cluster. When the node list differs from the member list, the coordinator advances to a reconfiguration state to change the membership of the cluster. In the reconfiguration state, the coordinator sends a reconfiguration request to all the nodes in the node list. When reconfiguration acknowledgements are received from all the nodes within a timeout period, the coordinator updates the member list to be equal to the node list, persists the updated member list, sends a reconfiguration confirmation including the updated member list to all the nodes in the node list, and returns to the stable state.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to messaging, and in particular address several aspects of initiating a group conversation. When a user interacts with a messaging system, the system determines whether it is likely that the user intends to start a group conversation or a one-to-one conversation. Intent to start a group conversation can be signaled in a number of ways, such as: type of action requested; interactions with particular UI elements; length of message; analysis of previous user preferences; and analysis of a contacts group. Suggested users to add to the group may be dynamically displayed. The group can be selected in a number of ways, including: analysis of social network information; analysis of events or activities in which the user may be engaged; analysis of user affinities; analysis of the current members of the group; analysis of familial or friend relationships; and analysis of previous messaging activity.
