  • Patent number: 8385321
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing a data base at a plurality of nodes in an ad hoc network including at least one authentication node group; each authentication node group including a leader node and at least one member node; the method includes: (a) in each respective authentication node group, comparing and identifying differences between the data base at the respective leader node and the data base at each respective member node; (b) for each comparing, if the differences are identified, exchanging data bases between the leader node and the member node; and (c) for each comparing, in no particular order: (1) merging the leader node data base with the member data base at the leader node to create a leader node merged data base; and (2) merging the member node data base with the leader data base at the member node to create a member node merged data base.

  • Patent number: 8165137
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for fast database migration, that comprises, establishing a socket connection directly between intelligent processor unit nodes of the originating system and the terminating system, transferring home location register static data for the subscriber via the socket connection, wherein the home location register static data is transferred in parallel between intelligent processor unit nodes of the originating system and the terminating system and bypassing the platform manager nodes of the originating system and the terminating system and synchronizing home location register transient data between intelligent processor unit nodes of the originating system and the terminating system.
