  • Publication number: 20190215881
    Abstract: A communications apparatus includes a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver transmits or receives wireless radio frequency signals to or from an air interface. The processor determines whether one of a plurality of predetermined call-setup behaviors has occurred. If one of the plurality of predetermined call-setup behaviors has occurred, the processor performs a network access enhancement procedure to increase the possibility of a successful call-setup.

  • Patent number: 8792940
    Abstract: A method for handling a Hands-Free device by an Audio Gateway device with a first subscriber identity card and a second subscriber identity card, executed by a micro-processing unit (MCU) of a Baseband chip, is provided. A command is received from the Hands-Free device, wherein the Hands-Free device issues the first command to request a status report of the Audio Gateway device. The status report is provided to the Hands-Free device via a result code which comprises a plurality of integrated status indicators corresponding to statuses of the first subscriber identity card and the second subscriber identity card.

  • Patent number: 8650562
    Abstract: A method monitors machine activity of multiple virtual computing devices operating through at least one physical computing device by running a monitoring agent. The monitoring agent monitors performance of the multiple virtual computing devices. The method measures simple operating characteristics of only a base level virtual computing device. The method monitors complex operating characteristics using the monitoring agent by: measuring the complex operating characteristics for each of the multiple virtual computing devices (using each of the multiple virtual computing devices); recording the complex operating characteristics of each of the multiple virtual computing devices on a corresponding memory page of each of the multiple virtual computing devices; and sharing each the corresponding memory page with the base level virtual computing device through an interdomain communications channels to transfer the complex operating characteristics to the monitoring agent.
