Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to methods and apparatuses for providing supplemental output voltage support in a battery charger. According to certain aspects, to provide supplemental power in a system with a weak battery and high current load, embodiments provide a trigger value to alert the system and a pre-trigger to allow saving current. Some embodiments use current information to predict the need for supplemental mode. These and other embodiments provide prepared biasing for faster response times, and are more precise than monitoring voltage alone. These and other embodiments further preferably provide support for providing supplemental system power while protecting attached external devices.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a system and method for transaction commitment and replication. The method includes receiving a minitransaction from a client node at one or more memory nodes, wherein each memory node includes a number of replicas. The minitransaction is a type of transaction which atomically executes any combination of reading, comparing, and writing to any of a number of memory locations. The method also includes determining, for a leader of the replicas within a memory node, whether the leader is able to commit the minitransaction and stabilizing state changes of the minitransaction within a transaction log using a consensus procedure to update the replicas. The method further includes committing the minitransaction if, at each memory node, a quorum of the replicas is able to stabilize the minitransaction, or aborting the minitransaction otherwise.

Abstract: Systems and methods for extending and re-using an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) to extend the trust relationship from a closed group of customers of wireless service providers to users of other ecosystems (e.g., Gmail, Facebook, or Yahoo!) for IMS services. Some embodiments include receiving a request from an initiating device to establish a service connection between the initiating device and an endpoint through an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session. The request may include third-party domain credentials (e.g., maintained by a third-party domain) associated with an end-user. The third-party domain credentials can be extracted from the request. Communications with the third-party domain can be used to verify the third-party domain credentials. The IMS session can be established between the initiating device and the endpoint upon verification of the third-party domain credentials.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed at least partly to routing calls and/or other communications from a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) that uses a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) as a transit network. The MVNOs may desire to use the MNO's network as a transit network to complete or terminate calls from users who may be roaming and/or are on other access networks such as Wi-Fi. The MNO may implement logic to determine whether to allow the MNO's network to be used as a transit network based at least in part on conditions such as one or more of agreements with an MVNO, business considerations, and/or other considerations (e.g., network bandwidth, etc.). The logic may enforce the rules by selectively allowing some communications and denying other communications.

Abstract: Devices of a telecommunication network described herein are configured to reduce a service level associated with a quality of service offered by the telecommunication network to a user. The devices may reduce the service level responsive to data consumption by the user exceeding a threshold or responsive to data consumption associated with an application or data type. Also, the devices may be configured to increase a video-conversation-specific service level responsive to determining that a client device of the user is establishing a video conversation.

Abstract: A mobile device, via a roaming platform, can switch IMSIs (e.g., Home IMSI-1, Roamer IMSI-2, etc.) depending on a location of the mobile device. Upon switching IMSIs, the roaming platform can forward the update location to an HLR of the home network and roaming network. If the MMSC on the home network receives an MMS message, the MMSC on the home network may query the HLR for a current location. From the query, if the message recipient is roaming, the MMSC on the home network may communicate with the MMSC on the roaming network to deliver the message. As a result, the roaming network can handle the routing of the message without a data session routed back through the home network.
