Abstract: An open and extensible framework for ubiquitous radio management and services in heterogeneous wireless networks is disclosed. A radio interface manager abstracts interface attributes of multiple heterogeneous network interfaces into a set of abstracted attributes for access by one or more applications.

Abstract: An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to reserve access for a source device included in a plurality N of source devices to N?1 logical channels accessible by a set of target devices included in the plurality of source devices by creating a static map, wherein N is a positive integer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a user to interface with a mobile computing device is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises sharing a Bluetooth communications module between a primary processor system and a secondary processor system.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a portable communication device includes two processors. A power management controller may be adapted to alter an operational characteristic of the processors. In an alternative embodiment, the power management controller may be further adapted to vary an operational characteristics of one processor while leaving the other processor substantially unchanged.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device includes a processor, a physical memory coupled to the processor, and a storage medium coupled to the processor. The storage medium may store instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to: survey at least a portion of the physical memory, determine an amount of free memory space and used memory space based on the survey of the physical memory, determine if a consolidation of used memory space should be performed, and, if so determined, consolidate the used memory space, and reduce the power provided to at least a portion of the physical memory following the consolidation of used memory space. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A system includes a communication link, a first node and a second node. The first link communicates a request over the communication link to the second node indicating a suspended state of operation of the first node. In response to this communication of the request, the first node is placed in a suspended state of operation.

Abstract: Numerous embodiments of a method and/or apparatus for memory management are disclosed.

Abstract: A communication device (200, FIG. 2) includes a connection manager (330, FIG. 3), which establishes and manages voice and data connections with various networks supported by the device. In response to a connection request from an application (302), the connection manager (330) selects a connection type based on the request preferences and information regarding the various possible available connections. The connection manager (330) then provides network isolation between the applications (302) and the protocol stack (222, FIG. 2) used to make the connection. The device is capable of concurrently supporting multiple connections for multiple applications (302) using multiple protocol stacks (222) and/or networks. Application developers can use a common interface to the connection manager (330), and thus an application does not need to be limited to using only specific protocol stacks.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a portable communication device includes two processors. A power management controller may be adapted to alter an operational characteristic of the processors. In an alternative embodiment, the power management controller may be further adapted to vary an operational characteristics of one processor while leaving the other processor substantially unchanged.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a portable communication device that is adapted to transfer user data from an application subsystem to a communication subsystem with a bounded latency.

Abstract: A remote device access (RDA) feature for enabling access and control of remote devices in a data acquisition (DAQ) system. The data acquisition system comprises at least one client computer system executing a client DAQ application. The data acquisition system also comprises one or more server computer systems coupled to the client computer system through a network, wherein each server computer includes a data acquisition device which is controllable by the client DAQ application. The RDA method comprises the client DAQ application making a call to access the remote DAQ device in the server computer. In response to a determination that the call is intended for a remote DAQ device (the identical call could be intended for a local DAQ device), the call is then packaged into one or more packets and transferred to the server computer. The packets are preferably transferred using a remote procedure call (RPC).
