Abstract: A system is described in which a default mobility management entity (MME) receives, from a base station, a request for setting up a communication connection to a mobile device having an associated usage type. The default MME sends, to the base station and responsive to the request, a message identifying a dedicated MME, to which the request should be re-routed, the dedicated MME having a supported service type corresponding to the usage type associated with the mobile device. The base station sends a response to the default MME, the response indicating whether re-routing to said dedicated MME is was successful or not (e.g. due to an overload of the dedicated MME). If the re-routing was not successful, the default MME attempts to serve the mobile device instead of the dedicated MME.

Abstract: A clock buffer or driver is gated pending reception of verifiable crypto keys. These clock buffer or divers remain gated, thus disabling a processor from any meaningful function, till crypto keys are decoded, verified, and applied to the clock buffer or driver. A low frequency pseudorandom frequency hopping time sequence is generated and used for randomizing spread-spectrum to modulate a reference clock (or output clock) of a frequency synthesizer. This hopping time sequence holds the key to unlocking the crypto keys. The PWM modulated crypto keys are carried by the hopping time sequence. To decode the PWM modulated crypto keys, the hopping time sequence is used. The reference clock which is modulated with crypto keys in the spread-spectrum is sent to a decoder (in a processor) along with the hopping time sequence. The crypto keys are decoded and then used to un-gate the clock buffer.

Abstract: Multimedia codecs (compression methods), based only on FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) have been recently proposed. These codecs use the largest points (foreground) and the most energetic bands (background). Medium quality versions are based on the largest local peaks only. The phases can be ignored with the largest local peaks or in the background. Alternatively, sine and cosine amplitudes can be used. This invention describes methods for giving utility to the reintroduced phases, in particular: local peaks are grouped to have a very narrow bandwidth, with the phases containing the displacements of these peaks, and we transport data and the points of the foreground in the phases of the background. High speed communications are supported using techniques similar to OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing). These processes are intended to be used in particular with connected objects and in the physical layers of computer networks.

The originating and/or responding devices may be fixed or mobile, permanently or temporarily deployed, terrestrial, airbourne or space-based with any source of power including batteries and solar without limitation.

For example, the only the part of the LDPC encoded data to be re-transmitted is transmitted from the single antenna (114A).
