Abstract: A mobile data collection system may perform or facilitate monitoring and management of mobile automatic meter reading (MAMR) activities via out of route meter read identification and graphical route playback. In identifying out of route endpoints, the mobile data collection system receives an indication of each of the endpoints included in a predetermined meter reading route. The mobile data collection system executes the route detecting endpoints and collecting location information relating to out of route endpoints that are not included in the predetermined route. Location information identifying the out of route endpoints is then presented to a user. In facilitating graphical route playback, the mobile data collection system collects information as it progresses through the route. The collected information may then be used in a graphical playback of the route, which shows the mobile data collection system dynamically traveling through the route (e.g., on a map) and reading endpoints.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that provide techniques for performing adjustments for delta-based power control and interference management in a wireless communication system. A terminal can utilize one or more delta-based power control techniques described herein upon engaging in a reverse link transmission after a predetermined period of silence or after receiving indications of interference from neighboring access points. A delta value can be computed through open-loop projection, based on which transmission resources such as bandwidth and/or transmit power can be increased or decreased to manage interference caused by the terminal. A delta value, other feedback from the terminal, and/or indications of interference caused by the terminal can also be communicated as feedback to a serving access point to allow the access point to assign transmission resources for the terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for auto-configuring a wavelength selective switch (WSS) device having an output port and a plurality of input ports and coupled to a WSS controller. When connected to a WDM optical network, the WSS controller is programmed to utilize one or more optical channel monitors (OCM) coupled to the input and/or output ports to detect which of the wavelengths are present at the input ports. Wavelengths that are not detected on any input port are blocked by the WSS. Any wavelength detected as present at one and only one input port is switched by the WSS to the output port. If a wavelength is detected at two or more input ports, it is either blocked by the WSS at each of the input ports until user intervention, or is blocked at all but one of the input ports as defined by assigned port priorities.
