Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a communication system that includes a first communication network, a second communication network, and a core network. The second communication network includes a network controller and a group of two or more access areas that are communicatively coupled to the core network by the network controller. Some embodiments service the second network access areas by providing access area identifiers to each access area while communicating with the first network or core network using a single are identifier assigned to the network controller. Some embodiments provide access control by sending a series of invalid messages to a user equipment (UE) that is not authorized to access services of the second network to reject the UE. Some embodiments reject the UE by sending a message to ban a UE from an access area with a particular access area identifier.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of identifying a list of Femtocell Access Points (FAPs) for a user equipment (UE) communication session in a communication system including a first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication system. The second wireless communication system includes multiple FAPs and a Femtocell gateway (FGW) that communicatively couples the FAPs to the first wireless communication system. The method receives information about a UE that has detected a particular FAP that has an identification attribute. The method uses the UE information to retrieve a set of FAPs designated for the UE where the FAPs in the set of FAPs have the same identification attribute as the particular FAP. The retrieved set of FAPs is from a set of several FAPs that are not designated for the UE but have a same identification attribute as the particular FAP.

Abstract: Methods and messages for performing assignment and activation of voice bearer channels for mobile stations (MSs) in an unlicensed mobile access network (UMAN). URR (UMA radio resource) channel activation messages are exchanged between an MS and a UMA network controller (UNC) operating in the UMAN to assign a voice bearer channel to the MS and verify the channel is available for uplink.

Abstract: A method of preventing theft of service in a communication system that includes a first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication system that includes a Femtocell access point (FAP) and a network controller that can communicatively couple the FAP to the first wireless communication system. The method creates an authorized session that includes a session identify for a first user equipment (UE). The UE is recognized by the first communication as an authorized UE to use the FAP.

The rejected request includes the session identity of the authorized session and the identity of the second UE. The second UE is not recognized by the first communication system as an authorized UE to use the FAP.

Abstract: A method for identifying names of uninformative functions in call-stack traces is described. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a set of call-stacks and information indicative of which call-stack traces in the set match a particular call-stack trace; for each matching call-stack trace pair, incrementing a false negative counter for each function name above a first matching function name in a respective call-stack trace pair; for each non-matching call-stack trace pair, incrementing a false positive counter for each function name above a first non-matching function name in a respective call-stack pair; incrementing a frequency counter for each function name appearing in each of the call-stack traces; calculating an aggregate value for each of the function names as a function of respective ones of the false positive counter, the false negative counter and the frequency counter; and identifying uninformative ones of the function names based on the respective aggregate values.

Abstract: The invention finds matches in ordered sequences, e.g. program function call stacks from anomalous software program executions for discovering related or identical software flaws and possible known solutions. Call stacks are matched after removing recursive and uninformative subpatterns, e.g. names of common error handling routines, to see if they were generated due to the same possibly known problem. Sequences statistically unlikely to be matches are pruned from the search. Matches found earlier in the sequences may be weighted differently, e.g. to be more important in call stacks, than other matches. Sequences are indexed so that those relevant to a query are identified automatically without detailed exhaustive search. Maximum matches are found by optimizing a cost function based on weighted sequence similarity.
