Patent CA-2518778-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARABINIS PETER D
IPC: H04W36/30
Filed: 2004-05-13
Abstract: A satellite communications system includes a satellite that is configured to wirelessly communicate with radioterminals in a satellite coverage area over a satellite frequency band, and an ancillary terrestrial component that is configured to wirelessly communicate with radioterminals in the satellite coverage area over at least some of the satellite frequency band, to thereby terrestrially reuse at least some of the satellite frequency band. Wireless communications with a radioterminal are handed over from the ancillary terrestrial component to the satellite if the radioterminal transmit power exceeds a threshold, and a received satellite signal quality exceeds a threshold, even though the radioterminal is able to wirelessly communicate with the ancillary terrestrial component. Downlink wireless radiation that is received at the radioterminal from a satellite may be monitored to determine potential interference created by the uplink radiation of the radioterminal due to the terrestrial reuse of at least some of the satellite frequency band.

Title: Fast application notification in a clustered computing system
Inventor: COLRAIN CAROL
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: With fast notification of changes to a clustered computing system, through which a number of events are published for system state changes, applications can quickly recover and sessions can quickly be rebalanced. When a resource associated with a service experiences a change in status, such as a termination or a start/restart, a notification event is immediately published.  Notification events contain information to enable subscribers to identify, based on matching a session signature, the particular sessions that are affected by the change in status, and to respond accordingly. This allows sessions to be quickly aborted and ongoing processing to be quickly terminated when a resource fails, and allows fast rebalancing of work when a resource is restarted.
