  • Patent number: 10394760
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for backing up data in a computing system including a controller configured to backup a file in the non-volatile memory at least in part by receiving the file from a host, the file including a plurality of chunks of data and storing the plurality of chunks of data in a browsable partition of the non-volatile memory in response to said receiving the file. The controller further determines that one or more of the plurality of chunks has been modified, determine a new chunk associated with each of the one or more modified chunks, store the one or more new chunks in the browsable partition of the non-volatile memory using the communication interface in response to said determination of the one or more new chunks and store the one or more modified chunks in a container partition of the non-volatile memory using the communication interface.

  • Publication number: 20170230249
    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.

  • Patent number: 9684569
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing file backup and restore in a computing system. Certain embodiments provide a communication interface for communicating with a non-volatile memory and a controller configured to determine that a file stored in the non-volatile memory has been modified, identify a chunk of the file that has been modified, determine a new chunk associated with the modified chunk, the new chunk reflecting the modification, generate a separate chunk file including the new chunk and a filename, and storing the chunk file in the non-volatile memory using the communication interface.

  • Patent number: 9088928
    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.

  • Publication number: 20130143526
    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.
