20110116379 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - A method and device are provided for synchronizing data transmission of multicasting/broadcasting services (MBS) by a plurality of Base Stations. The method disclosed includes providing synchronization information to enable the plurality of Base Stations to start transmitting MBS data at a synchronized starting time point. Meanwhile, each of the Base Stations receives the MBS data to be transmitted and determines whether any of the MBS data has not been properly received. If so, the respective Base Station may initiate a process to recover the missing MBS data and/or to obtain information regarding the missing data to determine the duration of the time period that would have been required for transmitting the missing MBS. If the missing data has not been timely recovered, the respective Base Station determines a starting point and the duration of a silence period based on the information obtained, and refrains from transmitting signals along a communication channel allocated for transmission of MBS data, during that silence period. | 05-19-2011 |

20080279150 | METHOD FOR HANDOVER IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK COMPRISING A NUMBER OF SUB-NETWORKS - The present invention discloses a method for carrying out a handover process in a wireless network, wherein the wireless network comprises at least a first and a second base stations belonging each to a different subnet associated of that wireless network and communicating through a first and a second gateways or foreign agents, respectively, and wherein the first base station is used as a serving base station currently in communication with at least one mobile subscriber station (MS). The method provided comprises a step of determining a traffic conveying entity as an intermediate anchoring point, and when the MS moves to a second subnet which comprises the second base station, a path is established for conveying traffic to/from that MS from/to a remote destination. The path comprises the intermediate anchoring point and the first gateway (or the first foreign agent). | 11-13-2008 |
20090034459 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - A method and device are provided for synchronizing data transmission of multicasting/broadcasting services (MBS) by a plurality of Base Stations. The method disclosed comprises providing synchronization information to enable all of said plurality of Base Stations to start transmitting MBS data at a synchronized starting time point. Meanwhile, each of the Base Stations receives the MBS data to be transmitted and determines whether any of the MBS data has not been properly received. If so, the respective Base Station initiates a process to recover the missing MBS data or to obtain within a pre-determined time interval, information regarding the missing data in order to determine the duration of the time period that would have been required for the transmission of the missing MBS. If the missing data has not been timely recovered, the respective Base Station determines a starting point and the duration of a silence period based on the information obtained, and refrains from transmitting any signals along a communication channel allocated for transmission of MBS data, during that silence period. | 02-05-2009 |

Collaboratively, a large group of simple network stations implement a vaccination mechanism, proliferating information concerning malicious applications (malwares) throughout the network in an efficient manner. | 05-12-2011 |
20110313550 | SELECTION SYSTEM FOR GAMING - A system and method in which one or more components from a game may be selected and then automatically detected during game play. The components may optionally be detected automatically according to one or more predefined criteria. Alternatively, the components may optionally be detected through analysis of saved game playing data, such that optionally and more preferably, the extraction process may be performed according to one or more criteria that are set after game play has occurred. | 12-22-2011 |
20120303573 | Methods and apparatus for prediction and modification of behavior in networks - In exemplary implementations of this invention, mobile application (app) installations by users of one or more networks are predicted. Using network data gathered by smartphones, multiple “candidate” graphs (including a call log graph) are calculated. The “candidate” graphs are weighted by an optimization vector and then summed to calculate a composite graph. The composite graph is used to predict the conditional probabilities that the respective users will install an app, depending in part on whether the user's neighbors have previously installed the app. Exogenous factors, such as the app's quality, may be taken into account by creating a virtual candidate graph. The conditional probabilities may be used to select a subset of the users. Signals may be sent to the subset of users, including to recommend an app. Also, the probability of successful “trend ignition” may be predicted from network data. | 11-29-2012 |
