Abstract: A high-level object-oriented specification language allows configurable components of a cloud-based deployment to be modeled by a class definition that includes a group of configurable class parameters. The object-oriented specification language supports extension of an existing base class definition to create new class definitions, and supports inheritance of class parameters from the existing base class definition by the new class definitions. A cloud-based deployment can be customized based on class definitions used in configuring one or more generic deployments, such as by modifying class parameter values of the class definitions, varying interrelationships between the classes, and supplementing existing class parameters with new class parameters. The high-level object-oriented specification language supports class definitions that model hardware and virtual resources as well as software roles and service roles served by software applications and services in a cloud-based deployment.

Abstract: Handoff configuration information is provided to a dual mode Access Terminal (AT) operable to communicate both in a Circuit Switched network domain and a IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network domain. Up-to-date handoff configuration information is transmitted during a registration of the dual mode AT with an IMS network or, alternatively during establishment of a call session of the dual mode AT. An IMS server assigns and sends the handoff configuration information to the dual mode in a response message to a registration request or, alternatively in a request for a call session establishment and in a response message to the request for the call session establishment. The handoff configuration information is used in a call handoff of an ongoing call of the dual mode AT between the CS network and the IMS network.

Abstract: Aspects describe dynamically adjusting a reordering release timer to mitigate latency in a MAC-hs queue. Information already available at a mobile device is utilized for current packets and for missing packets to dynamically adjust the value of the T1 timer in an effort to mitigate latency. Further, the network might provide information regarding HARQ attempts, which mobile device can utilize for computing the dynamic value of the T1 timer. The network might signal the amount of time the mobile device should subtract from timer T1 for every HARQ transmission. Further, the T1 timer might only be dynamically adjusted for a subset of radio bearers.
