  • Patent number: 11758421
    Abstract: A mesh network includes domain(s) of multiple nodes interconnected through links and in which there are gateway(s) connecting a domain to another network. The domain(s), their multiple nodes, and their links are part of a topology. A set of primary and backup routing paths, each including an ST that includes the selected gateway and route to that selected gateway for nodes in the domain, for a selected one of the gateway(s) is accessed or determined. Schedule(s) to be used by node(s) in the mesh network over one or more scheduling cycles are accessed or determined. Based on status of link(s) between nodes and on the schedule(s), switching is performed to a selected one of the primary or backup routing paths for the selected gateway. Routing in the mesh network is caused to be modified based on the selected routing path. Information is sent to nodes for the paths and schedules.

  • Patent number: 8059818
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system of securely storing data on a network (100) for access by an authorized domain (101, 102, 103), which authorized domain includes at least two devices that share a confidential domain key (K), and an authorized domain management system for securely storing data on a network for access by an authorized domain. The present invention enables any member device to store protected data on the network such that any other member device can access the data in plaintext without having to communicate with the device that actually stored the data.

  • Patent number: 7191226
    Abstract: A method for routing data packets to a mobile node in a communication system which includes at least a first subnetwork of a first type supporting a first IP version and a second subnetwork of a second type supporting a second IP version. The mobile node is provided with a set of protocol stacks for handling data packets at least according to the first and the second IP version and with a home address at least according to the first and the second IP version. The home agent intercepts at least data packets addressed to the mobile node's home address according to the first or the second IP version and for encapsulating a data packet addressed to the mobile node in a packet according to the IP version of the foreign network to which the mobile node is attached, for routing the data packet to the mobile node.

  • Publication number: 20050177577
    Abstract: This invention describes a methodology for accessing data on a legacy file server (or a remote storage server) by a communication device (e.g., a mobile device or a mobile phone) using an access gateway, wherein said communication device cannot support the legacy file system protocol. The basic idea of the invention is to provide an access gateway that functions as an application-level protocol translator in a situation when the communication device cannot support the legacy file system protocol for entering the legacy file server.
