Abstract: Apparatus and methods disclosed herein implement an RF receive-band filter at a receive chain input of a wireless base station with a co-located transmitter and receiver. The RF receive-band filter includes an adaptive filter component to perform filtering operations on samples of a digital baseband or intermediate frequency signal x(n) from a transmit chain associated with the wireless base station. An adaptive filter transfer function is determined in real time such that samples of the baseband transmit signal x(n) are transformed into a cancellation baseband signal z(n). The digital cancelation baseband signal z(n) is then digital-to-analog converted and the resulting analog baseband signal z(t) is up-converted to obtain a subtractive RF cancelation signal c(t). C(t) is summed with a desirable received signal RF component r(t) and an undesirable transmitter leakage RF signal component l(t) appearing at the input to the base station receiver.

Abstract: Provided are a system and article of manufacture for performing scheduled backups of a backup node associated with a plurality of agent nodes. Backup data sets on at least one machine in a network are associated with a backup node and a plurality of agent nodes in the network are associated with the backup node. The agent nodes are associated with machines in the network capable of backing up the backup data sets associated with the backup node. A schedule indicating a scheduled backup to backup scheduled data sets associated with the backup node is processed. At least one of the agent nodes is contacted to request the at least one agent node to perform the scheduled backup and backup the scheduled data sets, wherein the at least one contacted agent node performs the scheduled backup to backup the scheduled backup sets.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture wherein one client node is selected from a plurality of client nodes. A determination is made that an object corresponding to a client node has to be stored. A determination is made as to whether the object has already been stored in the server node by the one selected client node. The object is stored at the server node, in response to determining that the object has not already been stored in the server node by the one selected client node.

Abstract: Provided are systems for authenticating the identity of a user for use in a distributed computer network including multiple sets of access credentials. A user request, including the user's input credentials, is received, and then compared simultaneously to multiple sets of access credentials in order to verify the user's input credentials. When the user's input credentials are verified, the appropriate level of access authority is then determined, and proper access is granted to the user.
