| 20090019411 | Thermally Aware Design Modification - In a first variation, a thermally aware design automation suite integrates system-level thermal awareness into design of semiconductor chips, performing fine-grain thermal simulations of the chips based on thermal models and boundary conditions. The suite uses results of the simulations to modify thermally significant structures to achieve desired thermal variations across a chip, meet design assertions on selected portions of the chip, and verify overall performance and reliability of the chip over designated operating ranges and manufacturing variations. In a second variation, a discretization approach models chip temperature distributions using heuristics to adaptively grid space in three dimensions. Adaptive and locally variable grid spacing techniques are used to efficiently and accurately converge for steady state and/or transient temperature solutions. The modeling optionally reads a mesh initialization file specifying selected aspects and parameters associated with controlling use and behavior of the variable grid spacing techniques. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20110167418 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING NEW NETWORK ELEMENT SOFTWARE VERSIONS IN AN ELEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITHOUT UPGRADING - A method and apparatus for configuring an element management system server (an EMS server) to support new network element service application versions without upgrading the EMS server software is provided. The EMS stores base version data that describes the data model of a first version of a service application installed on a network element. When a second version of the service application is available, incremental version data describing changes to the data model from the first version to the second version is obtained and stored. In response to receiving a client request involving a service application on a particular network element, the EMS may apply incremental version data, associated with the version of the service application installed on the particular network element, to the base version data to form merged version data that describes the data model of the version of the service application installed on the particular network element. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20080271109 | PHYSICAL SECURITY TRIGGERED DYNAMIC NETWORK AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION - A unified access control component (UACC) can maintain information relating to network access information and physical location information associated with respective users who may access a network that can include network resources (e.g., applications, information). The UACC can cross reference the network access information (e.g., user network access events, credentials, and policy) and physical location information (e.g., user physical access events, credentials, and policy) and can generate and enforce a unified network access policy based on network access information and physical location information associated with a particular user. After network access privileges have been granted to a user, the UACC can continue to monitor the user. The UACC can include a dynamic authentication component that can request a user re-authenticate if a change in the physical location and/or network access associated with the user is detected, such that a re-computation of network access privileges is desired. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090119762 | WLAN Access Integration with Physical Access Control System - A network access system. In particular implementations, a method includes monitoring, responsive to a network access request of a client, an authentication session between an authentication server and the client, and determining user credential information associated with a user of the client based on one or more messages of the authentication session. The method also includes accessing, using the user credential information, physical entry information indicating a physical location of the user relative to a defined perimeter, and conditionally allowing the client access to a network based on the physical entry information and a successful authentication of the client. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20090080406 | System and Method for Multicast and Broadcast Synchronization in Wireless Access Systems - In a method for multicast and broadcast synchronization a data payload frame is generated from a data payload. A frame number is assigned to the data payload frame, wherein the frame number includes a generating time of the data payload frame. The data payload frame is distributed to a plurality of base stations in a wireless access system. The offset spans a travel time of a data payload frame from the controller to the plurality of base stations as well as a scheduling time and a multiplexing time. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090109893 | Cross-Layer Optimization of VoIP Services in Advanced Wireless Networks - A cross-layer optimization is presented between the MAC and Network layers to enhance the performance of VoIP services in advanced wireless networks. Among the factors considered in the optimization are the characteristics of the originating source and the network path. This information is relayed using the Network layer to provide feedback to the MAC layer in order to improve the end-to-end performance of VoIP services. | 04-30-2009 |
