Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure improved capabilities are described for increasing the bandwidth in a wireless communication network, where centralized optimization servers with publish-subscribe broker services are utilized in conjunction with a queuing service application that provides packet service continuity when a mobile device moves between different access control nodes of the wireless communication network, and wherein the queuing service application is connected to a publish/subscribe broker network to receive service packets matching the service packets directed to the mobile device, wherein the service application makes the matching service packets available to the mobile device to replace service packets that the mobile device did not receive during a time in which the mobile device is in transition between being connected to any of the access nodes.

Abstract: Improved capabilities are described for increasing the bandwidth in a wireless communication network, such as where host computers provide publish-subscribe broker services to a sensor device and a communicating entity. A queuing service application may provide service packet continuity when the sensor device or the communicating entity moves between two wireless RF access nodes (in the same or different wireless networks). The publish-subscribe broker network is adapted to route packets of sensor data, on behalf of the sensor device that publishes the sensor data, to a sensor-processing application, wherein the sensor-processing application subscribes to the sensor data, and wherein the sensor-processing application generates application data that is at least in part sensor data from the sensor device.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods implementing active-hot standby redundancy in server architectures are described.

When a failure occurs in the active instance, the standby instance may promote itself to active, and assume all aspects of the service identity and role of the active service instance it is replacing such that service to user devices continues without interruption.
