Abstract: A method and apparatus are used to create RLC PDUs in advance of the E-TFC selection for the MAC PDU that will include this or these RLC PDU(s). The apparatus may be configured to pre-generate RLC PDUs for transmission in a later TTI. This approach avoids the large peak processing requirement due to the tight delay constraint if any RLC PDU to be included into a MAC PDU had to be created after the determination of the size of this MAC PDU, i.e. after E-TFC selection. The method and apparatus maintain an approximate match between the size of an RLC PDU and the size of the MAC PDU it is included into. Maintaining this approximate match ensures that the RLC PDU error rate due to HARQ residual errors remains low. This approach may be designed as “semi-radio aware” or “radio-aware with delay”.

Abstract: A device supporting big data in a process plant includes an interface to a communications network, a cache configured to store data observed by the device, and a multi-processing element processor to cause the data to be cached and transmitted (e.g., streamed) for historization at a unitary, logical centralized data storage area. The data storage area stores multiple types of process control or plant data using a common format. The device time-stamps the cached data, and, in some cases, all data that is generated or created by or received at the device may be cached and/or streamed. The device may be a field device, a controller, an input/output device, a network management device, a user interface device, or a historian device, and the device may be a node of a network supporting big data in the process plant. Multiple devices in the network may support layered or leveled caching of data.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating user requests issued from embedded applets running on web-accessible user devices. The server system generates authentication tokens associated with user credentials, in response to user requests for HTML pages that include the embedded applets. The server system stores the authentication tokens on the server system, and includes the authentication tokens in URLs within applet tags in the HTML pages returned to the user devices. When the applets download and request content from the server system, the applets supply the previously included authentication tokens in the URLs that identify the requested content. Upon finding a match between the applet-supplied authentication tokens and the stored authentication tokens, the server identifies the user as a trusted user, and responds with the requested content. This can be used to eliminate HTTP-based authentication challenges for subsequent user access.
