Title: Communication system
Inventor: CHEN YUHUA
IPC: H04W76/00
Filed: 2013-11-01
Abstract: A communication system employs a dual connectivity function in which a mobile telephone 3 communicates user data substantially simultaneously via a first base station (master eNB) 5-1 and a second base station (secondary eNB) 5-2. The mobile telephone detects a problem in communications with the second base station and transmits an indication of the problem to the first base station. Alternatively the second base station detects a problem in communicating with the mobile station and transmits an indication of the problem to the first base station. The indication causes the first base station to transmit control signalling to the core network for initiating release or suspension of a communication bearer provided via the second base station. In a further embodiment the mobile telephone detects the problem and carries out an action to suspend or release a radio bearer associated with the second base station, initiate handover of a radio bearer, suspend or release a MAC entity or suspend or release a serving cell in an associated secondary cell group.

Title: Key management in multi-tenant environments
Inventor: BELLWOOD THOMAS ALEXANDER
IPC: H04L9/14
Filed: 2014-03-10
Abstract: Tenants in a multi-tenant shared deployment are provided their own distinct key spaces over which they control a key management system. In this manner, virtual key management domains are created on a per-tenant (per-customer) basis so that, whenever a particular customer's data is co-tenanted, stored, transmitted or virtualized in the IT infrastructure of the provider's datacenter(s), it is secured using key management materials specific to that customer. This assures that the entirety of a tenant's data remains secure by cryptographically isolating it from other tenants' applications. The virtual key management domains are established using a broadcast encryption (BE) protocol and, in particular, a multiple management key variant scheme of that protocol. The broadcast encryption- based virtual key management system (VKMS) and protocol achieves per-tenant (as well as per-application) secured isolation of data and can be used across any combination of resources in or across all levels of a co-tenanted IT infrastructure.
