The present invention is a communication network (100) and method for monitoring location capabilities of mobile stations (102) in a database (120) of a communication network. Initially, the network receives an identification number from a mobile station (102). If the database (120) does not include a location capability corresponding to the identification number, then a processor (118) requests the location capability from the mobile station (102) and stores the requested location capability in the database (120). The location capability includes one or more of the following capabilities: an autonomous mode capability, an assisted mode capability and a legacy mode capability. To retrieve an entry from the database (120), the network reads the location capability corresponding to the identification number from the database (120). The network then assembles an assistance message based on the location capability of the mobile station (102) and transmits the assistance message to the mobile station (102).

The computer program includes a virtualization software that is executable on the new processor in the legacy mode. The new processor includes a legacy instruction set for a legacy operating mode and a new instruction set for a new operation mode. The switching includes switching from the new instruction set to the legacy instruction set and switching paging tables. Each of the new operating mode and the legacy operating mode has separate paging tables. The switch routine is incorporated in a switch page that is locked in physical memory. The switch page has a first section to store a part of switching instructions conforming to the new instruction set and a second section to store another part of the switching instructions conforming to the legacy instruction set.

Cryptographic systems and methods that support multiple modes of operation, such as CBC, CTR and / or CCM modes. In one aspect, a method for encrypting data includes reading a plaintext data block from a memory, storing the plaintext data block in an input buffer, encrypting the plaintext data block in the input buffer using a first mode to generate a first ciphertext, storing the first ciphertext in an output buffer, encrypting the plaintext data block in the input buffer using a second mode to generate a second ciphertext. For example, in a CCM mode of operation wherein the first mode is a CTR (counter) mode and the second mode is a CBC (cipher block chaining) mode, the block of plaintext that is initially read from memory and stored in the data input register is applied to both the CTR and CBC modes, thereby reducing a number memory read operations as in conventional CCM modes.

An electronic card has a card body with a power source electrically coupled to a general processor which is electrically coupled to a secure processor and a broadcaster. At least one sensor sends a signal to the general broadcaster when a physical act of swiping the card body through a legacy magnetic stripe reader having a magnetic read head commences. The card is usable as a legacy mode Smart card, the broadcaster is operable to broadcast a transaction specific data packet so that it is read by the magnetic stripe reader, and the secure processor is an ISO 7816 compliant processor.

The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for supporting legacy mode fail-over drivers with an iSCSI network entity including multiple redundant controllers. In an exemplary aspect of the present invention, to support legacy mode fail-over drivers with an iSCSI network entity including multiple redundant controllers, the following configuration constraints may be placed on the iSCSI network entity and its iSCSI configuration: (1) the network device need have two or more redundant controllers; (2) the portals on each controller may or may not be formed into portal groups; (3) the portal groups may not span controllers (i.e., the target portal groups are limited in scope to a single controller); (4) the same iSCSI target name need be exported by all redundant controllers (i.e., the targets span all controllers of the iSCSI network entity, making the LUNs available to all controllers); (5) the target portal group numbers on the redundant controllers need have unique target portal group tags (i.e., all target portal group tags are unique across all portal groups in the iSCSI network entity. However, the target portal group tags do not need to be unique for different iSCSI targets); and (6) all targets are available from at least one target portal group on each controller. In addition, the initiator may use a single ISID for all sessions, use a different ISID for a different session, or the like. The present configuration constraints may enable the normal behavior of the legacy mode SCSI driver to locate and use redundant SCSI paths to the SCSI devices on the iSCSI target.

A Method and apparatus for selectively applying, by a User Equipment (UE), Frequency Hopping (FH) for a transmission of Uplink Control Information (UCI) signals in a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH). The UE applies FH when the UCI is of a first type and does not apply FH when the UCI is of a second type. The UE applies FH when transmission diversity is not applied to the UCI transmission and does not apply FH when transmission diversity is applied to the UCI transmission. UEs operating in a legacy mode do not apply FH to the UCI transmission while UEs operating with additional functionalities may apply FH to the UCI transmission according to the UCI type and the use of transmission diversity.

The invention relates to wireless network comprising an access point and non-AP stations. The station has traffic queues and associated a backoff counters which are decremented over time upon continuously sensing the medium as free during more than respective AIFS durations. To compensate additional opportunities provided by OFDMA RUs, a queue switches to an MU mode upon transmitting its data in an RU provided by the AP. To restore dynamicity of the backoff counters, frozen in the MU mode in the known techniques, embodiments provide the following at each expiry of one of the queue backoff counters: the current mode of the expiring traffic queue is determined; in case of legacy mode, the station accesses the channel to transmit data from the queue; whereas in case of MU mode, a new backoffvalue is drawn to reset the expiring backoff counter, without having data from the queue being transmitted.

The invention discloses a service parameter configuration method, which relates to the technical field of computers, analyzes and classifies service parameters, carries out centralized management through a unified parameter management standard, carries out parameter remapping according to data structure differences of parameter tables of target subsystems, and publishes the service parameters to the target subsystems. The configuration of the service parameters adopts a mode of'generating a service scene driving system function '; a traditional mode that a service scene depends on technology implementation is broken through; when a new service demand is generated, the service is restarted; secondary code development is not needed; the parameter configuration requirements under different service scenes can be met through simple interface configuration, so that the parameter configuration can flexibly and quickly adapt to different service scenes, the parameter synchronization efficiencyis improved while the flexibility and the adaptability of the parameter configuration are improved, and the error rate and the cost of the parameter synchronization are reduced.
