Title: Method for providing enhanced floor control for group calls between a dispatch communications network and a cellular telephone communications network
Inventor: ABBATE ALAIN D
IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 2007-02-13
Abstract: A method for providing enhanced floor control (500) between a dispatch communications network and a cellular telephone communications network includes transmitting a transmit delay message (517) by a network control entity (505) to a communications device (501) in the cellular telephone network when a talk reservation request (515) has first been granted to a communications device (507) in the dispatch network. A transmit grant message (521) is then transmitted from the network control entity (505) to the communications device (501) in the cellular telephone network when the communications device in the dispatch network switches from a transmit mode to receive mode (507). The transmit grant message signals the communications device (501) in the cellular telephone network enabling it to access the dispatch communications network without sending a second talk reservation request.

Title: Framework for modeling cancellation for process-centric programs
Inventor: RAMAN KARTHIK
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: Declaratively canceling execution of an activity. A state automaton for an activity is defined, and the state automaton includes an executing state, a canceling state, and a closed state and classifies an execution lifetime of the activity. The activity includes work items and organizes the work items in an execution hierarchical structure. The work items are transitioned from the executing state to the closed state indicating a completion of executing the each work item of the activity. Upon having one of the work items being transitioned to the closed state, a cancellation request is transmitted to the work items currently in the executing state. The executing work items are identified as a function of the transmitted cancellation request and the execution hierarchical structure of the defined activity. The execution lifetime of the activity is canceled by transitioning the identified work items from the executing state to the canceling state.
