Title: Improvements in and relating to SMS in a telecommunication network
Inventor: RICKY KUMAR KAURA
IPC: H04W4/14
Filed: 2019-06-06
Abstract: A method of managing Short Message Service, SMS, functionality in User Equipment, UE, operable with a telecommunication network, e.g. Fifth Generation, 5G, New Radio, NR, systems, comprising the step of: the network informing the UE of a change in SMS subscription status for the UE. The network informs the UE of a change in SMS subscription status by means of a Configuration Update Command message, including an information element, IE, dedicated to signal “SMS Changed”, comprising a single bit which, if set to 0, indicates that an “SMS Allowed” status by the network has not changed. The UE, in response to receiving information regarding a change in SMS subscription status, takes this information into account for internal operation, which can comprise the UE re-evaluating its status regarding SMS subscription. The UE re-registers with the network and requests SMS subscription before attempting to send an SMS message. If SMS service is removed from the UE's subscription in the Unified Data Management, the present invention provides that a UE is made aware of such status change and will not therefore waste UE resources (especially battery life) continuing to try and send Mobile Originated (MO) SMS. Suitable for SMS over non-access stratum, NAS.

Title: An apparatus and method for handling exceptions
Inventor: THOMAS CHRISTOPHER GROCUTT
IPC: G06F21/52
Filed: 2019-12-11
Abstract: Processing circuitry executes program code a security domain to that includes exception handling routines executed in response to corresponding exceptions, and a plurality of registers for storing data for access by the processing circuitry when executing the program code. Exception control circuitry in response to occurrence of a given exception from background processing triggers a state saving operation to save data from the plurality of registers before triggering the processing circuitry to execute a given exception handling routine. Configuration storage provides configuration information used to categorise exception handling routines. The exception control circuitry determines with reference to the configuration information whether the given exception handling routine is of a first category or a second category within the security domain that the given exception handling routine will be executed in. When triggering the state saving operation, the exception control circuitry triggers saving the data from a first subset of registers when the given exception handling routine is of the first category and triggers saving the data from both the first subset and the second subset of registers when the given exception handling routine is of the second category.

Title: Method of encoding a software image for a delta update of executable code
Inventor: BRENDAN JAMES MORAN
IPC: G06F8/658
Filed: 2021-01-19
Abstract: A method of encoding a software image for use in a delta update of executable code, the image comprising relocatable code and an associated symbol table 300 and relocation table, each table having an address associated with each entry of the table. The entries of at least a portion of the symbol table and/or the relocation table are sorted in order of the associated addresses. The addresses are then incrementally encoded from a reference address to generate an incrementally encoded software image. This method ensures that a small change to the software does not cascade into a larger number of changes to e.g. the addresses in the symbol table which would cause the differential update to be larger than necessary. As a result, the delta update is more compressible.
