20120147934 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALIGNMENT IN NEIGHBORING NETWORKS - A method includes detecting, at a first timing with reference to a periodic signal that is common to a first domain and a second domain, a first signal indicative of the first domain. The first signal is used by the first domain to signal presence of the first domain and a time used by the first domain for inter domain communication with other domains. Further, the method includes comparing, the first timing to a second timing with reference to the periodic signal. The second domain uses a second signal at the second timing to signal presence of the second domain and a time used by the second domain for inter domain communication with other domains. Then, the method includes aligning the first signal and the second signal to enable inter domain communication between the first domain and the second domain. | 06-14-2012 |
20120182991 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING MULTICAST TRAFFIC - Aspects of the disclosure provide method and apparatus for managing multicast traffic in a domain, such as a G.hn domain. A method includes storing, at a first node of a domain, a plurality of next nodes for transmitting messages in the domain, forwarding, from the first node to the plurality of next nodes, a probe message transmitted from a second node in response to a request from a third node to join a group to receive a multicast flow that enters the domain from the second node, and storing, at the first node, a list of nodes in association with the multicast flow. The list of nodes is determined at least in part based on a path through which the probe message is transmitted from the second node to the third node. | 07-19-2012 |
20130325965 | RELAYING MESSAGES IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK - A message is received at a communication interface device coupled to a first media type. A second layer (e.g., a dynamic link layer (DLL)) on the communication interface device communicates with an abstraction layer (AL) regarding relaying of the message. The AL determines whether another communication interface device should relay the message via a second media type. When the AL determines that another communication interface device cannot or should not relay the message, the communication interface device relays the message using relaying functionality provided by the second layer (e.g., the DLL). When the AL determines that another communication interface device should relay the message, the AL forwards the message to the other the communication interface device for relaying via the second media type. | 12-05-2013 |

20100100563 | METHOD OF COMPUTING A COOPERATIVE ANSWER TO A ZERO-RESULT QUERY THROUGH A HIGH LATENCY API - An information retrieval system including a user operated computer having a display and a storage facility, a search back-end containing an index into a collection of documents, the index defining results sets of queries relative to the collection of documents, and a search application stored in the storage facility which is executable by the computer to perform a method of providing a cooperative answer to a query submitted by the user, the submitted query having an empty result set, the cooperative answer comprising subqueries of the submitted query and, for each subquery, cardinality information indicative of whether the subquery has an empty result set. The method includes making an initial set of requests to the search back-end, a request specifying a query and calling for a response that provides cardinality information indicative of whether the subquery has an empty result set, the response being said to be positive if the result set is non-empty and negative if the result set is empty, the requests in the initial set of requests being made in parallel and specifying queries that are subqueries of the submitted query. When a positive response to a request is received, the method includes displaying the query specified by the request together with cardinality information provided by the response which enables the user to determine that the result set of the specified query is not empty, the specified query and the cardinality information being part of the cooperative answer. When a negative response to a request is received, the method includes making a subsequent set of requests to the search back-end, the requests being made in parallel and specifying queries that are subqueries of the query specified by the request for which the negative response is received. | 04-22-2010 |
20100100836 | FACILITATING BROWSING OF RESULT SETS - A method of facilitating the browsing of a plurality of result sets by a user. The method includes displaying a plurality of queries on a computer display, each query having a corresponding result set, the plurality of queries thereby constituting a set of displayed queries, and displaying the result set of a selected displayed query in response to the user selecting the query from the set of displayed queries via a user interface procedure, while continuing to display the set of displayed queries so the user can subsequently select other queries from the set of displayed queries to thereby interleave browsing the result sets of the queries in the set of displayed queries. | 04-22-2010 |
