Title: Overriding abstract resource manager methods to provide resources to implement nodes in a service definition
Inventor: SPATZIER THOMAS
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2012-06-27
Abstract: A service, requested by a server system 205, 206, is defined as nodes in a service model 211 in a management engine system 201. Each node defines the type of resource required for that node as an abstract method.

Title: Limiting the size of protocol data units (PDUs) containing new data in a repeat transmission system
Inventor: RANTA JUKKA TAPIO
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2012-06-27
Abstract: A radio link controller (RLC) entity generates protocol data units (PDUs) for retransmission that may be of any size so long as a transport block has the capacity and size to carry the retransmitted RLC PDUs. By contrast, the size of RLC PDUs containing new data are restricted so as not to exceed a variable size limit for a transport block that is going to carry the PDUs, e.g. half the size. The invention makes retransmission possible without re-segmentation or any other modification to the original PDUs. The variable size limit may be changed to a different size limit in response to an indication from a receiving device, the different size limit being valid for a specified time period. The variable size limit may be based on an average size for transport blocks preceding the current transport block. The retransmission of data may conform to an automatic repeat request protocol.

Title: Durable subscriptions in publish/subscribe messaging
Inventor: WINN GEOFFREY MARTIN
IPC: G06F9/54
Filed: 2013-03-20
Abstract: Publish/subscribe messaging broker 130 has a matching engine 130 receiving durable subscriptions for subscribing applications 121-123. The engine comprises durable subscription component 141 further comprising connection monitoring component 144 for detecting if a subscribing application 121-123 is disconnected. In this case engine 130 retains only persistent messages in message store 143 from a publishing application 111, 112, or 113 for delivery once the subscribing application is reconnected. A persistence filter component 142 discards messages not meeting a persistent requirement for durable subscription, while persistent messages are never discarded. The requirement can be meeting Quality of Service (QoS) values. The values are included in the durable subscription received by engine 130 as parameters defining persistence. Since only subsets of messages are retained, message store ability is maintained for longer, applications have fewer message to process when reconnecting, and unnecessary storage is avoided as for frequent update messages (exchange rate, stock price).
