20100332684SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SPLIT DEPLOYMENT MODEL FOR A TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE ACCESS GATEWAY - A split deployment model is enabled for a telecommunication service access gateway. The services of the gateway are segregated into a set of core services that provide container-based functionality and a set of exposure services that enable network integration and translation of protocols. The core services are executed as part of the application server, while the exposure services are deployed in separate archive files. This isolation of services allows single or groups of services to be independently upgraded, patched or removed and reduces the impact of one service on others. Furthermore, the services can scale independently, allowing additional hardware resources to be added to a particular service. Multiple versions of a single service can also be deployed in a single cluster or server.12-30-2010

20090219940System and Method for Providing Throttling, Prioritization and Traffic Shaping During Request Processing via a Budget Service - A network gateway application is described that provides throttling, prioritization and traffic shaping for incoming requests from client applications. A request is received by a plug-in manager component of the gateway application. The plug-in manager can then invoke the budget service in order to determine a current available budget for the request. The budget can be computed according to a service level agreement for the service provider, application or network node. The requests can be of high or low priority. If the budget is greater than a specified priority threshold value, the low priority requests can be denied, while the high priority requests can be processed as long as there is some available budget left. If the budget for the request has reached the restricted level, the request can be denied and optionally enqueued to a traffic shaping queue to be processed at a later time.09-03-2009

20090034641SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC CALIBRATION OF A QUADRATURE ENCODER - A system and method for real time calibration of a quadrature encoder. Errors from sources such as signal offsets, amplitude mismatches and phase errors are addressed. In one embodiment, the errors are addressed by determining and applying a dynamic operational set of calibration parameters. The process for determining the operational calibration parameters involves minimizing a variation metric that indicates the variations of the magnitudes of a set of corrected vectors Ci″. The corrected vectors Ci″ are defined by using the calibration parameters to provide corrected vector components (Ati″, Bti″) that correspond to a current operational set of quadrature signal samples comprising at least four respective quadrature signal samples (Ati, Bti) having spatial phase angles θti that are distributed over a significant portion of 360 degrees. For well chosen calibration parameters, the resulting corrected vectors define a well-centered circle and the variation metric is minimized.02-05-2009

20090268715System and Method for Providing Service Correlation in a Service Access Gateway Environment - A network service access gateway is described that provides service correlation for incoming and outgoing invocations. The service requests can be received to the gateway from telecommunication mobile devices as well as from external service provider applications. A first service request can be received to the gateway and processed. The service correlation identifier (SCID) of the request can be persisted within the gateway prior to forwarding the request to the recipient. When a second and related service invocation is later received to the gateway, the two invocations can be associated based on the SCID. Based on the association, various custom functionality can be performed, such as invoking the charging system to treat the multiple services as a single unified transaction.10-29-2009
20100330971SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PRODUCTION UPGRADE OF COMPONENTS WITHIN A MULTIPROTOCOL GATEWAY - A production upgrade is described for a multiprotocol gateway. This upgrade allows various modules and components within the gateway to be upgraded independently without impacting traffic flow in the gateway. The upgrade can be performed by deploying a new version of the module alongside an older version of the same module. New client requests can then be directed to the new version, while requests requiring the older module can be continued to be serviced by the prior version. A distinction is made between stateless and stateful conversation during the upgrade of various components. For stateful conversations, request traffic can be versioned according to the session to which each request belongs. A highly available state storage scheme allows new versions of the module to consume state information used by the older versions. For stateless conversations, all new requests can be immediately routed to the new version of the module.12-30-2010

The ad engine delivers the messages to the recipients.05-12-2011
20110173107SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING A SERVICE ACCESS GATEWAY WITH BILLING AND REVENUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - Systems and methods are described for integrating a gateway in a telecom network environment with charging and payment functionality. The gateway is provided with three points of integration with charging and billing servers. These three points include a payment service, a charging data record listener and a credit control interceptor. The payment service provides an interface for client applications that reside outside of the telecom network to invoke a charging request, to translate the charging request and to relay it to the billing server. The charging data record listener listens for charging data records generated within the gateway and issues offline charging requests to the billing server upon detecting that a particular charging data record has been generated. The credit control interceptor intercepts requests in the communication traffic flowing through the gateway and initiates online charging requests to the billing server upon intercepting said requests.07-14-2011
