An apparatus and method to distribute applications and services in and throughout a network and to secure the network includes the functionality of a switch with the ability to apply applications and services to received data according to respective subscriber profiles. Front-end processors, or Network Processor Modules (NPMs), receive and recognize data flows from subscribers, extract profile information for the respective subscribers, utilize flow scheduling techniques to forward the data to applications processors, or Flow Processor Modules (FPMs). The FPMs utilize resident applications to process data received from the NPMs. A Control Processor Module (CPM) facilitates applications processing and maintains connections to the NPMs, FPMs, local and remote storage devices, and a Management Server (MS) module that can monitor the health and maintenance of the various modules.

The application processor is configured to preset the work mode of the Wi-Fi chip to a single input single output SISO mode, and is further configured to acquire a value of a parameter of an uplink wireless network, and when the value of the parameter of the uplink wireless network is determined to be greater than or equal to a preset value, set the work mode of the Wi-Fi chip to a multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode. An embodiment of the present invention further discloses a method for setting a communications mode.

A method, system, computer program product, and method of doing business by providing a secure integrated device (such as a pervasive computing device) for which operating capabilities can be dynamically yet securely selected (including, but not limited to, pluggable connection of input/output devices and/or application processors that provide selected functions). Each input/output (I/O) device and application processor to be used is plugged in to a bus of a security core, and authenticates itself to the security core using public key infrastructure techniques, thereby creating a secure multi-function device. All of the multi-function device's input and output interactions with its environment necessarily traverse an I/O bus under the sole control of the security core. The only communication path between an application processor and the external environment (such as an I/O device) is through an application processor bus, which is likewise under control of the security core. Thus a user may dynamically yet securely select the capabilities of a multi-function device, and because each I/O device and application processor in use by that multi-function device is authenticated, the security of transactions or network services performed when using such devices is improved.

Various schemes for performing inter-system handoff, e.g., from a UTRAN to a cdma2000 radio access network (RAN) are described. For a MAHHO scheme, the UTRAN uses measurements obtained by a multi-RAT device to determine suitable cdma2000 cell(s) for handover. The measurements are obtained by a candidate frequency search procedure, and the handover is accomplished by a handoff execution procedure. For a MDHHO scheme, the UTRAN relies on location information for the multi-RAT device to select suitable cdma2000 cell(s) for handover. For a CRHHO scheme, a new call is established on the cdma2000 RAN and the pending call on the UTRAN is released in a manner such that the handover appears seamless to the multi-RAT device. The multi-RAT device includes two modem processors that perform processing for the UTRAN and cdma2000 RAN and an application processor that controls the modem processors.

A voice wakeup detecting device for an electronic product includes a digital microphone and an application processor. The digital microphone has a function of judging whether a digital voice signal contains a subword according to subword model parameters. If the digital microphone confirms that the digital voice signal contains the subword, the digital microphone generates a first interrupt signal and outputs the digital voice signal. The application processor is enabled in response to the first interrupt signal. The application processor judges whether the digital voice signal contains a keyword according to keyword model parameters. If the application processor confirms that the digital voice signal contains the keyword, the electronic product is waked up from a sleep state to a normal working state under control of the application processor.

The disclosed embodiments facilitate location awareness in mobile computing devices while also reducing power consumption. A baseband processor performs background scanning of wireless networks, tracking the status of surrounding wireless networks while a primary application processor operates in a lower-power sleep state. Upon detecting a wireless network of interest, the baseband processor notifies (and wakes up) the application processor. The baseband processor can also be configured to track a subset of the wireless networks detected from previous scans to facilitate trajectory tracing.

By a method of changing an operation mode of a camera image sensor, an application processor outputs a resolution change request signal to the camera image sensor when an operation mode change signal is generated while the camera image sensor outputs a first sensor output image. The camera image sensor prepares a resolution change operation in response to the resolution change request signal, outputs an interrupt signal to the application processor when the resolution change operation is prepared, performs the resolution change operation after the first sensor output image is output, and outputs a second sensor output image when the resolution change operation is completed. The application processor changes an interface setting value in response to the interrupt signal, and receives the second sensor output image based on the changed interface setting value.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting a reference signal. In a base station apparatus for transmitting a reference signal in a wireless communication system, a processor generates the same scrambling sequence for resource elements (REs) allocated to each layer for reference signal transmission, and spreads or covers Walsh codes such that scrambling sequences generated for the resource elements can be orthogonal to each other on a time axis, in order to generate a reference signal sequence. Here, the Walsh code spreading or covering by the processor is applied on a frequency axis on the basis of a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) or on the basis of a pair of resource blocks, such that mutually different sequences having mutually different sequence values can be mapped between resource blocks or between pairs of resource blocks. A transmission module transmits the reference signal, to which the thus-generated reference signal sequence is applied, to user equipment via each layer.

A method and apparatus to proxy notification service connections between a mobile client and a notification server. In one embodiment of the invention, a proxy receives a proxy setup request for the notification service from the mobile client. The proxy further establishes a notification connection with the notification server for the mobile client and maintains the notification connection without waking an application processor of the mobile client. The proxy receives a notification from the notification service and forwards the notification to the mobile client.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) mobile station (110, 112, 114) has an application processor core (204) and a WLAN processor (202). So as to conserve energy, when the two processors are not needed, they are both placed in a minimal power consumption mode. The WLAN processor operates a WLAN radio and receives beacon transmissions from an access point (120). Upon extracting the beacon data from a received beacon signal, the WLAN processor passes the beacon data to the application processor. To ensure receipt of the beacon data, the WLAN processor remains active until the application processor acknowledges receipt of the beacon data before transitioning back to a sleep mode. To prevent keeping the WLAN processor waiting longer than necessary, the application processor wakes up ahead of the beacon receipt time, in time to allow transition to an awake mode so that it is active by the time the WLAN processor passes the beacon data.
