| 20090323570 | Techniques for management of shared resources in wireless multi-communication devices - An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a network adapter configured for wireless communication using more than one technology, and wherein the network adapter is configured to share a plurality of shared hardware components by limiting access to the air to one comm only at given time by designating one comm that owns the shared hardware components as a primary comm and all other comms are secondary comms, wherein the primary comm allows the secondary comms to use the shared hardware components when it is in an idle-state but when the primary comm returns from the idle state, it claims ownership of the shared resources and the secondary comms release the shared resources. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090323651 | Techniques for management of shared resources in wireless multi-communication devices - An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a network adapter configured for wireless communication using more than one technology, wherein the network adapter is configured to share a plurality of shared hardware (HW) components by generating a notification when a shared HW resource becomes available to a requesting device that needs the HW resource, and registering the requesting device so that it will receive the notifications when generated; and wherein upon receiving the notifications, the requesting device will wake up and perform a pending action. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090327767 | Techniques for distributed management of wireless devices with shared resources between wireless components - An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a network adapter configured for wireless communication using more than one technology using distributed management and wherein the network adapter is configured to share a plurality of shared hardware components by automatically turning all other comms to OFF when one comm is turned to ON. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100111053 | Techniques for enhanced network discovery - An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising retrieving a first network scan while connected to a second network access point (AP), without actually accessing the air, by the AP sending a message to “Get first network base station (BS) list” to devices in communication with the AP and operable to communicate in the first and the second networks, merging by the AP all answers from the devices to provide a list of all base stations (BS's) in the AP's vicinity, and querying the AP by other devices for the network BS list. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110004760 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DERIVING SECURITY KEY(S) - A method, apparatus and a wireless communication system to derive security key(s) over an air link in a secure manner by sending by a mobile station over the air a single direction permutation of a mobile station ID, establishing keys with the base station and sending the mobile station real ID in a secure manner. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110032869 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACTIVATING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method and apparatus to activate over the air a wireless communication device by using a client-initiated bootstrap server and without the use of a provisioning server, a provisioning session and a provisioning protocol implementation at one or more servers of the wireless network. The client-initiated bootstrap server sends a bootstrap script and/or document to the wireless communication device to set an activation flag with commands included in the bootstrap scrip. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110110329 | SECURITY UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR ZONE SWITCHING IN MIXED-MODE WIMAX NETWORK - A zone switching method is disclosed for use in a mixed-mode WiMAX environment. The zone switching method is useful in a WiMAX network having both 802.16e (legacy) and 802.16e/802.16m (mixed-mode, or advanced) entities, including mobile stations, base stations, and access service network entities. The zone switching method includes anchor authenticator relocation, dual security context maintenance, and security updates for both entry-before-break-capable mobile stations and for those mobile stations with slower switching speeds. The zone switching method enables an advanced mobile station to seamlessly switch from legacy to mixed-mode operation once the mixed-mode entities are available to service the 802.16m operations. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20100128704 | Mulitcasting, location services, payment methods and performance management in broadband wireless access networks - Methods, apparatuses and systems for location discovery, electronic payment and multicast broadcast in a wireless broadband network disclosed. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110026501 | VIRTUAL NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER FOR MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR ACTIVATION - Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and system configurations to activate a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). A method includes wirelessly broadcasting a virtual Network Service Provider (NSP) to provide wireless activation of one or more Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) associated with a NSP, directing a mobile station (MS) connected to the virtual NSP to a subscription portal that presents to a user of the MS the one or more MVNOs for selection, and provisioning the MS with configuration parameters for a selected MVNO to allow connection of the MS with the selected MVNO. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110110289 | DISTRIBUTED CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR RELAYS IN BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORKS - Embodiments of systems and methods for distributed control relay architecture are described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110111754 | Neighbor List Broadcasting Techniques - Techniques are disclosed that involve the indication of neighbor base stations. For instance, a base station may generate and wirelessly transmit a message that indicates a plurality of neighboring base stations. This message may include an indicator having one or more wildcard values. Through the employment of such wildcard values, the indicator may provide information corresponding to the plurality of neighboring base stations. For instance, the indicator may indicate a plurality of base station identifiers (BSIDs). Alternatively, the indicator may indicate a plurality of preamble indices. As a further alternative, the indicator may indicate a plurality of carrier frequencies. Through the employment of such techniques, overhead can be saved without causing ambiguity in mobility management. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110138380 | DEVICE MANAGEMENT IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatus, and system configurations for device management in a wireless communication network. A method includes determining, by a server of a communication network, that one or more updates are designated for a mobile station, initiating a re-authentication of the mobile station based on the determining to trigger the mobile station to establish communication with the server of the communication network to receive the one or more updates, and sending the one or more updates to the mobile station. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. | 06-09-2011 |
