In a radio access network (24) a femto radio base station (28f) comprises a resident receiver (54) which acquires system information broadcast in a radio access network (24). At least part of the system information is used for building, at the femto radio base station (28f), a neighbor data structure (59) comprising information for neighboring cells. The neighbor data structure (59) is then used for building a neighbor list. The neighbor list is subsequently transmitted from the femto radio base station (28f) to a user equipment unit (30) served by the femto radio base station (28f). In some example embodiments and modes, the femto radio base station (28f) reports the neighbor data structure to a network node (26, 100) other than the femto radio base station. The other node (26, 100) uses the neighbor data structure for building the neighbor list at the other node. In some example embodiments and modes, acquisition of the system information comprises scanning a surrounding macro coverage area of the femto radio base station for obtaining cell identity information for detected cells. In other example embodiments and modes, the acquisition of the system information can additionally comprise camping on a macro cell and using / consulting at least one system information block in the camped-on macro cell is consulted / used for obtaining information about at least one neighboring cell.

The System Select feature provides user selectable modes of operation in a mobile communication station, which allow certain fall-back options when a preferred system may not be available, but still steers the bulk of the system selection operations to preferred systems. In a first user selected mode, the mobile station scans for a broadcast system identifier or "SID" that matches an identifier of a preferred system stored in memory of the station. The second mode allows the user at least one option, which involves selection of a less than preferred system, but with this mode, the mobile station will still make a first attempt to register with a system having a SID matching one stored in memory of the station. A preferred implementation offers the user four system selection options. Options based on stored identifiers include an option to select only the home system, and an option to select from a preferred roaming list (PRL) if the home system is unavailable. In the other two options, if the scanning operations for the home system and systems on the PRL are ineffective, one option involves scanning a band corresponding to that used by the home system. In contrast, the other option involves scanning a band other than that used by the home system. The System Select programming, however, limits the operation in the last optional setting, for example to a set time period or until completion of one call. The preferred embodiment facilitates a substantially one-rate service, where the service provider charges the one rate for all calls through the home system, all systems on the PRL list and any system found during a scan of the home-system band.

Write order fidelity (WOF) is maintained for totally-active implementations wherein a plurality of access nodes at geographically separated sites can concurrently read and / or write data in a “totally active” fashion on a distributed data system. From the hosts' perspective at diverse geographic locations, a synchronous, cache-coherent view of data is provided. Data transfer is asynchronous. A time ordered data image is created and maintained so operations can be restarted after a partial system failure that causes loss of data not yet asynchronously transferred across the network, but that has been write-acknowledged to the originating host. Time ordered asynchronous data transfer is implemented as a pipeline of changes that reflect contributions from all nodes. WOF also improves network performance and lowers bandwidth consumption. Extensions can provide, in a totally-active context, features such as point-in-time snapshots, time firewalls, on-demand backend storage allocation, synchronous / asynchronous distribution of data, and continuous data protection.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method of managing power in a data processing system includes monitoring a system parameter indicative of power consumption. Responsive to determining that the parameter differs from a specified threshold, a system guest, such as an operating system, is forced to release a portion of its allocated system memory. The portion of system memory released by the guest is then reclaimed by the system. The reclaimed system memory and the resulting decrease in allocated memory may enable the system to reduce system memory power consumption. The operating system may de-allocate a portion of system memory when a balloon code device driver executing under the operating system requests the operating system to allocate memory to it. The system memory allocated to the balloon device driver is then reclaimed by supervisory code such as a hypervisor.

Disclosed are a system, a method, and a computer program product to provide for the optimization of the output transfer load balance between the peer computers transferring data to one or more storage devices. The peer computers receive, organize and transfer the data to storage devices. The data set is composed of a plurality of data transfers. After an initial division of the data transfers between the two peers, each peer will have assigned responsibility for a number of data transfers. If the one of the peer computers completes offloading transactions earlier than the other peer, then the peer that is still transferring data will employ the other peer to execute a portion of the remaining data transfers. The operation of the system is symmetrical in that either peer may assist the other peer depending upon which peer has idle time. In addition the operation is autonomous and self-adjusting resulting in the peer nodes optimizing the size of the portion of data transfers that are reassigned during the operation of the invention resulting in the minimization of idle time for either peer. The self-adjusting feature allows the system to react to changing conditions that affect data transfer rates to the storage devices.

A distributed operator cooling system is provided for a work vehicle. The system includes a primary circuit and a secondary loop. The primary circuit is a conventional A / C circuit having a compressor, a condenser, a receiver / dryer and an expansion valve. The secondary loop includes a coolant pump and a plurality of coolant-air heat exchangers each having a blower fan associated therewith. The secondary loop is coupled to the primary circuit by way of a coolant-refrigerant heat exchanger wherein the coolant of the secondary loop is chilled. Chilled coolant is circulated to the coolant-air heat exchangers by coolant lines and back to the pump and coolant-refrigerant heat exchanger by return lines. The coolant lines are routed through the wall of an operator's enclosure. At least one of the coolant-air heat exchangers is located in the forward area of the operator's enclosure in a front console of the vehicle substantially in front of the operator. A pair of coolant-air heat exchangers are located above and on either side, forward or aft of the operator's head.
