Abstract: In one embodiment, the method includes encrypting, at a device, data with a first key, and forming a message that includes a device identifier and the encrypted data. The device identifier identifies the device. A signaling message is formed that includes a class identifier, the message and an action code. The class identifier identifies a group of devices to which one or more devices belong. The action code indicates the type of data, and may be part of the message. The signaling message is sent to a network, for example, a wireless network. The wireless network identifies and routes the message portion of the signaling message based on the class identifier. And, using the class identifier and perhaps a device identifier, the wireless network may signal the device to change an operating parameter.

Abstract: In a method for controlling access to a local network via a small wireless cell in a wireless network, local network access control information is received at the small wireless cell, and the small wireless cell controls access to the local network by the user based on the local network access control information. The access control information is indicative of whether a user is permitted to access the local network through the small wireless cell, and is independent of wireless network access control information indicative of whether the user is permitted to access the wireless network.

Abstract: The embodiments relate to a system and/or method for handover within a heterogeneous network. The system for handing over a first mobile station between cells includes a small cell and a macro cell. The system includes a small cell gateway configured to serve a plurality of small cells. At least one of the plurality of small cells is a restricted small cell that restricts access to a limited number of mobile stations. The small cell gateway is configured to receive access information for the restricted small cell. The small cell gateway is configured to select a small cell among the plurality of small cells for serving the first mobile station in response to a handover request from a macro base station associated with the macro cell. The small cell gateway does not select the restricted small cell if the first mobile station is not included in the access information.

Abstract: In a method for performing handover of a user equipment, a small cell base station formats a handover request message for the user equipment. The handover request message includes permission information of the user equipment, including LIPA permission information.

Abstract: An engine has a housing and a working member movable within an interior of the housing and separating a combustion chamber from a non-combustion chamber. Additionally, the engine may include a chamber-ventilation system that may include a passageway with a first end of the passageway connected to the non-combustion chamber and a second end of the passageway located downstream of the first end of the passageway. The chamber-ventilation system may further include a filter system disposed within the passageway. The filter system may include a filter housing and a filter disposed in the filter housing. Additionally, the chamber-ventilation system may be configured such that, during operation of the engine, gas travels from the non-combustion chamber, into the first end of the passageway, through the passageway, to the second end of the passageway.

Abstract: In a method of tracking a user in a communication network supporting a broadcast-multicast service, the network classifies groups of users into tracking areas. Movement of a user may be tracked as the user crosses a boundary between two tracking areas in the network. The method may enable a balance to be achieved between use of uplink overhead and the level or granularity of tracking desired, so as to conserve radio resources.

Abstract: A sprinkler assembly for controlling a fire situation includes at least one fluid conduit defining a flow passage including an inlet for receiving a fluid from a fluid source and at least one outlet for discharging the fluid, and a dispensing mechanism such as an open or closed sprinkler head for distributing water to a selected location. A fluid control apparatus is provided including a valve assembly having a valve seal which is moveable between a closed position blocking fluid flow through the conduit and an open position causing fluid flow through the conduit. The fluid control apparatus further includes an actuating mechanism including a valve actuator which is operatively connected to the valve assembly for causing movement of the valve seal to the open position upon release of the sealing force.
