Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that may selectively determine network connection information in a wearable wireless device. A wearable wireless device may communicate with a first wireless device associated with a wireless network, estimate a separation distance to the first wireless device, and compare a first network identifier of the wearable wireless device with a second network identifier of the first wireless device. The wearable wireless device may then selectively receive, from the first wireless device, network connection information for the wireless network based, at least in part, on the comparison and the separation distance.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for performing synchronized collective operations. Communication calls are accepted from at least two distinct processor groups. Edge disjoint spanning paths are created over a collective comprising the processor groups, and the spanning paths are assigned to the processor groups to facilitate communication within each processor group.

Abstract: A method for allowing multiple devices to communicate includes initiating a multi-media communication session between a first device and a second device, each of the first and second device having access to at least one additional device, identifying at least a portion of the multi-media communication session to direct to the at least one additional device, the first device obtaining a unique identifier of the at least one additional device and directing the identified at least a portion of the multi-media communication session to the at least one additional device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for a multi-network wireless communications access terminal (AT) to access multi-network coverage. The method registers a multi-network AT in a first communications network. In response to registering with the first network, the AT receives information via the first network that is required for accessing a second communications network (e.g., an IEEE 802.20 or 1xEV-DO network). The AT obtains services accessed via the second network, in response to the access information received via the first network. For example, the second network access information may be system information, channel information, or access point parameters. The AT retains the option of obtaining services accessed via the first network if the second network cannot be accessing the second network.

Abstract: An apparatus for wirelessly receiving power comprises a battery at least partially covered by magnetic material and a radio frequency (RF) charge energy receiving antenna surrounding the magnetic material and electrically coupled to the battery through a circuit card assembly (CCA).

Abstract: The various aspects provide for wirelessly connecting mobile devices and wearable devices, which may enhance battery life and user experience. The embodiments may include a wearable device that may receive from a mobile device a request to wirelessly connect to the wearable device. The wearable device may establish with the mobile device a first wireless connection. The wearable device may recognize termination of the first wireless connection by the mobile device and send to the mobile device a second request to establish a second wireless connection. The wearable device may establish the second wireless connection between the mobile device and the wearable device.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a client device (CD) maintains a contact profile for a user of the CD, the contact profile including a universal identifier (UID) for the user and a list of devices and addresses at which the user of the CD can be contacted. The CD establishes a communication session with a remote CD (RCD) via a given contact address from the set of contact addresses for the RCD. The CD shares, in response to the communication session establishment, at least a portion of the contact profile to the RCD. The RCD generates and/or updates a given contact profile for the user of the CD that is maintained on the RCD based on the shared contact profile. The RCD can also share its profile with the CD in response to the communication session establishment, causing the CD to generate and/or update a contact profile for the RCD.

Abstract: Systems and methods for self-checking a direct memory access system are disclosed. These may include generating a check sum value associated with a first job of the plurality of jobs, the first job comprising a read job; if a first predetermined check value is available, comparing the first check sum value with the first predetermined check value; generating a second check sum value associated with a last job of the plurality of jobs, the last job comprising a write job; if a second predetermined check value is available, comparing the second check sum value with the second predetermined check value; and if the second predetermined check value is not available, comparing the first check sum value with the second check sum value.

Abstract: A system or circuit for generating timing events for mobile communications includes fetching network parameters corresponding to a transmission configuration. The network parameters are used to program a set of programmable registers. The timing events then are generated based on the network parameters. The timing events enable a user equipment (UE) or a base station to operate in various transmission configurations.

Abstract: Aspects for enhancing call control for directing a content path over multiple connections may include a method which includes establishing a first connection to a destination to use as a content path, receiving information from the destination for establishing an alternative connection, establishing as the alternative connection a background connection to the destination based on the information received, evaluating whether the background connection is preferable to the first connection for use as the content path, and switching the content path to the background connection when the background connection is preferable.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable the management of notifications on a small computing device. A processor may display a first notification of a plurality of notifications on substantially all of the small touchscreen of the computing device. The processor may temporarily dismiss the plurality of notifications when a first user input is received by the computing device. The processor may recall the plurality of notifications and display the first notification on substantially all of the small touchscreen when a second user input is received by the computing device. The processor may permanently dismiss the first notification when a third user input is received by the computing device. The processor may display a second notification of the plurality of notifications on substantially all of the small touchscreen of the computing device when the first notification is permanently dismissed.

Abstract: A personal hub for managing notifications across mobile devices and for separating the notification from the content. By separately managing the manner of notification provided to the user from its associated content, the personal hub may give a user more control over a number of mobile devices by allowing the user to escalate or dismiss different notifications across one or more mobile devices. Notifications may be managed based on device settings, priority settings, privilege settings, urgency flags, and/or other factors. In an embodiment, the user may receive an unobtrusive user-perceptible notification of an incoming communication from a personal hub that is less obtrusive than notifications which may be generated by the mobile device receiving the incoming communication.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that facilitate evaluating conditions of nodes (e.g., access points, access terminals, etc.) in a wireless communication environment to determine a level of disadvantage for a given node relative to other nodes. A first node may receive a resource utilization message (RxRUM) and may determine a level of disadvantage for a node that sent the RxRUM. The first node may then compare its own level of disadvantage to the sending node in order to permit a determination of an appropriate course of action in response to the RxRUM.
