Title: Method, system and apparatus to support mobile ip version 6 services
Inventor: OYAMA JOHNSON
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: For establishing a MIPv6 security association between the mobile node (10) roaming in a foreign network (20) and a home agent (36) and for simplifying MIPv6-related configuration, MIPv6-related information is transferred in an end-to-end procedure over an AAA infrastructure by means of an, preferably extended, authentication protocol. A preferred embodiment uses EAP as basis for the extended authentication protocol, creating EAP extensions by incorporating the MIPv6-related information as additional data in the EAP  protocol stack, for example as EAP attributes in the EAP method layer of the EAP protocol stack or transferred in a generic container attribute on the EAP  layer or the EAP method layer. A major advantage of the proposed MIPv6 authentication/authorization mechanism lies in the fact that it is transparent to the visited domain (20), allowing AAA client (22) and AAAv (24) to act as mere pass-through agents during the procedure.

Title: System of and method for using position, velocity, or direction of motion estimates to support handover decisions
Inventor: JHA ANJALI
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2004-07-19
Abstract: A method of and system for supporting a handover decision in a wireless communication system is described. An estimate of the position, velocity or direction of motion of a subscriber station is obtained. The estimate, or information derived there-from, is then used to support a handover decision.  In one embodiment, an estimate of the velocity of the subscriber station is obtained if the handover rate experienced by the subscriber station exceeds a threshold while the subscriber station is within the coverage area of an umbrella cell. A decision is made to handover the subscriber station to the umbrella cell if the estimate of the velocity of the subscriber station exceeds a threshold. In a second embodiment, one or more estimates of the position, velocity, or direction of motion of the subscriber station are obtained responsive to the subscriber station experiencing a directed retry condition. A decision is made to handover the subscriber station from a serving cell to a target cell if the one or more estimates indicate that (1) the subscriber station is located closer to the target cell than the serving cell; or (2) the subscriber station is moving towards the target cell and away from the serving cell.

Facile à ingurgiter, il n'est pas nocif ni amer. On ne sent pas de saturation lorsque consommé en quantité abondante. Depuis plus de 40 ans, je consomme régulièrement de l'IF en tisane pour contrer des maux d'estomac, rein, foi et même la grippe. Aujourd'hui on lui prête volontier des vertu therapeutiques pour soigner le cancer, sclérose en plaques, arthrite rhumatoïde et du psoriasis. Mon invention, la tisane thérapeutique à base d'IF DU CANADA, émerge des autres produits sur le marché. Ci-joint à cette demande de BREVET le nom d'un témoin ayant utilisé la tisane d'if pour contrer les effets secondaires très désagréables, reliés au traitement CHIMIO.
