  • Systems and methods for conserving network resources
    Patent number: 8489070
    Abstract: An account management engine for managing at least one prepaid wireless service account can include a calculation logic module that includes at least one scheduling algorithm configured to calculate a message delay time, the expiration of which triggers a continue message to be sent to a service switching point (SSP) instructing the SSP to continue an established call. A method for managing at least one prepaid service account can include calculating, based upon at least one scheduling algorithm, a message delay time, the expiration of which triggers a continue message to be sent to a service switching point (SSP) instructing the SSP to continue an established call.

  • Method and system of cycle slip framing in a deserializer
    Patent number: 7936854
    Abstract: A method and system for cycle slip framing is disclosed. The method includes receiving an asynchronous signal and generating a synchronous pulse after receiving the asynchronous signal. The method further provides that the synchronous pulse be used to affect a bit slip that results in the moving of a character frame in the recovered data of a deserializer. According to one embodiment of the invention, the moving of the character frame is prompted by a single control signal of a clock divider circuit which causes the removal of a single clock cycle of a clock signal supplied to said deserializer.
