Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for deactivating the Idle mode discontinuous reception (iDRX) for services that require latency that is less than the conventional paging channel values.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for secure over-the-air (OTA) programming, and particularly, activation, of a wireless unit in a particular communications system. The unit stores a stored key having been generated by using a key algorithm (K-algorithm) with an identifier associated with the unit as an input to the K-algorithm. The unit may receive information such as parameters and a verification number from a communications system for the purpose of programming the unit. The verification number is generated by using an authorization algorithm (A-algorithm) having the parameters and a key as A-algorithm inputs. They key is generated by the K-algorithm having the identifier associated with the K-algorithm input. In response to the receipt of the parameters and the verification number, the wireless unit generates a trial verification number by using the A-algorithm with the parameters and the stored key as trial inputs. The unit compares the verification number to the trial verification number for a match.

Abstract: Synchronizing database files of a central node with database files of a local node in which the central node is coupled to the local node via a communication link. The communication link performance being continuously monitored via a periodic signal sent back and forth between the central node and local node. Information indicative of the files of the central database are integrated with the monitoring signal portion sent from the central node to the local node and a determination is made whether the files integrated with the monitoring signal corresponds with files of the local database via indications in the monitoring signal portion returned from the local node.
