Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are operable to reduce the messaging needed for efficient control of hotspot activities. A database associating hotspots, their hosting broadband home gateways and their Wireless Access Gateways (WAGs) is developed by a monitor that inspects traffic to and from the access points. The monitor provides a WAG monitoring services to the broadband home gateways that reduces the amount of network traffic, while still allowing broadband access gateways to appropriately enable to disable their hotspots with the corresponding condition of the associated WAGs.

Abstract: A method for achieving high-power solid-state lasers by multiple beams combination using cascaded compound laser oscillators, comprising the following steps: 1) Designing a compound resonator to achieve an output beam perpendicular to the axis of oscillation in which a compensating lens is used; 2) Designing beam combination of two independent solid-state lasers in cascaded compound cavities and using 4f optical system to compensate the beam waist separation between two lasers; 3) Based on the first two steps, multiple beams combination of N independent solid-state lasers can be achieved. In the present invention, N output beams emitted from N independent solid-state lasers are completely combined, and the combined beams hold the same waist position, size and divergence along down the same optical axis. Therefore, it can preserve original beam quality with that of individual solid-state lasers.
