Abstract: An OS API mapping computer operates to identify a set of OS APIs of a first OS version not present in a second OS version. OS APIs of the second OS version are identified that satisfy a defined rule for compatibility with the set of OS APIs of the first OS version not present in the second OS version. An OS APIs replacement list is generated that maps individual ones of the set of OS APIs of the first OS version, to corresponding ones of the OS APIs of the second OS version that satisfy the defined rule. A set is identified of OS APIs of an application that are in the OS APIs replacement list among the set of OS APIs of the first OS version. A plugin is generated based on the OS APIs of the second OS version mapped to the set of application OS APIs.

Abstract: A mobile device fetches a policy definition library from a policy server responsive to occurrence of a defined event associated with an application package.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods for a multi-Subscription Identity Module (SIM) wireless communication device for managing data exchanges with a network when an enhanced dedicated channel is requested on a first subscription. The methods may include performing operations during a testing phase to determine whether an enhanced dedicated channel grant is valid after a tune-away to a second subscription is completed, while transmitting data using the enhanced dedicated channel presuming that the enhanced dedicated channel grant is valid during the testing phase. The methods may include recording a list of protocol data units (PDUs) corresponding to data transmitted using the enhanced dedicated channel during the testing phase. The list of PDUs may be cleared and data exchanged with the network in response to determining that the enhanced dedicated channel grant is valid. Otherwise, the multi-SIM wireless communication device may request another enhanced dedicated channel grant.

Abstract: Techniques for performing dynamic cost per unit resource usage in a virtual data center are described. In one example embodiment, an initial unit resource usage price is received for the virtual data center for a first cycle. Further, capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) information of the virtual data center of the first cycle is obtained. Furthermore, a target return on investment (ROI) for the virtual data center for a second cycle is received. A unit resource usage price is then computed for the second cycle using the received initial unit resource usage price for the first cycle and the CAPEX and OPEX information of the first cycle. The unit resource usage price is then dynamically calibrated for the second cycle using the computed unit resource usage price and the target ROI.
