  • Method and system for multilayer service management
    Patent number: 6289201
    Abstract: Methods (400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900) and a multi-layer service management system (300) enable mutilayer service management in a global network environment in a communication system (100) which includes a core network (230) and multiple Distributed Virtual Network Segments (DVNSs) (240). The system (300) includes a network service manager (315) capable of managing a set of services for operating the core network, DVNS service managers (DVNSMs) (345, 347) residing within a core side (340) and a product side (335) of each item of DVNS equipment (330) for managing a first and second set of services associated with the DVNS and also a set of value added services (352) provided through the DVNS equipment (330), and a processor/server 385 residing within customer premises equipment (CPE) (370) for enabling provision of value added services to the CPE.

  • Global message delivery system and method using GEO and Non-GEO satellites
    Patent number: 6173156
    Abstract: A message processing center (140) is used in a global message delivery system. Message processing center (140) uses at least one GEO satellite (130) and at least one Non-GEO satellite (120) to delivers messages (pages) to a number of ground stations (110) located at various locations on the surface of the earth. Message processing center (140) determines loading for at least one GEO satellite (130) and at least one Non-GEO satellite (120). Message processing center (140) determines available capacity for at least one GEO satellite (130) and at least one Non-GEO satellite (120). Message processing center (140) uses a number of criteria to optimize the delivery of the message data.

  • Programmable cryptographic processing system and method
    Patent number: 6101255
    Abstract: A programmable crypto processing system (10) includes several processing resources (14, 16, 26) implemented on a single ULSI die. The processing system is both key and algorithm agile allowing for simultaneous execution of a variety of cryptographic programs through the use of background staging of the next program and context (key and state) during execution of a current program. The programmable crypto processing system includes a programmable crypto processor (17) for processing data units in accordance with a channel program, a crypto controller (11) for identifying a channel program, two interface processors (13, 15) for asynchronously receiving and transferring data units from and from an external host. Data units identify a particular channel program, and are processed in a selected processing engine in accordance the identified channel program.
