A method and system for communication between server-less computing devices or clients in computers communicating over networks, such as the World Wide Web (WWW) using stateless protocols, e.g., HTTP. In this scheme, there are two classes of clients which can operate independently or can be combined in computers communicating over the network: a) clients that issue commands and request status or data, and b) clients that function as service brokers for providing services and processing commands, updating status and providing specific data—resembleing a server device but without accessible TCP / IP ports. Each service providing device is authenticated, retains a unique identity and establishes a soft state with the globally accessible server or servers. All devices and clients can compile and process a globally common command language established between all communicating network clients. The central server includes a CGI processing program and a database to retain client specific information. The server database represents a collection of queues, each having a client unique identifiable status, pending commands and / or data components. In this scheme, commands and signaling transmitted between the servers and clients utilize standard HTTP protocol semantics and HTML or standard markup language syntax. Clients encapsulate or embed information as parameters passed to HTTP CGI as a set of standard HTTP conversations. A CGI processing program converts, parses or processes each conversation and passes arguments with or without data to queues.

This invention is directed to a system and method for providing a status certification for a message in a communications network. An embodiment of this invention is a voicemail system, which provides a caller in a telecommunications network with the option of certifying a voicemail message when the recording of the message is complete. By certifying the voicemail message, the caller is indicating that the voicemail system should track any actions related to the message that occur within the voicemail system so that the caller may later access the voicemail system and ascertain the status of the message. When the caller requests certification, the voicemail system provides the caller with a means to subsequently initiate a request for the status certification. As actions are taken in relation to the message, the voicemail system creates disposition identifiers and associates these identifiers with the message. When a caller accesses the telecommunications network and requests the status certification, the voicemail determines to which message the request is directed by prompting the caller or by some other means. The system then retrieves the disposition identifiers and provides the status to the caller in a format supported by whatever access means the caller is using to make the request.

The present invention provides a method and a device for operating mobile node in multiple states. The use of multiple states of mobile communication device (14) operation to allow a single base station (12) to support a relatively large number of mobile nodes (14, 16) is described. The various states require different amounts of communications resources, e.g., bandwidth. Four supported states ofoperation are an on-state (404), a hold-state (410), a sleep-state (408), and an access-state (402). Each mobile node in the on-state (404) is allocated communication resources to perform transmission power control signaling, transmission timing control signaling and to transmit data as part of a data uplink communications operation. Each mobile node in the hold-state (410) is allocated communication resources to perform transmission timing control signaling and is provided a dedicated uplink for requesting a state transition and a shared resource for transmitting acknowledgements. In the sleep state (408) a mobile node is allocated minimal resources and does not conduct power control signaling or timing control signaling.

A novel cache coherency protocol provides a modified-unsolicited (Mu) cache state to indicate that a value held in 5 a cache line has been modified (i.e., is not currently consistent with system memory), but was modified by another processing unit, not by the processing unit associated with the cache that currently contains the value in the Mu state, and that the value is held exclusive of any other horizontally adjacent caches. Because the value is exclusively held, it may be modified in that cache without the necessity of issuing a bus transaction to other horizontal caches in the memory hierarchy. The Mu state may be applied as a result of a snoop response to a read request. The read request can include a flag to indicate that the requesting cache is capable of utilizing the Mu state. Alternatively, a flag may be provided with intervention data to indicate that the requesting cache should utilize the modified-unsolicited state.

A routing protocol is used to transmit messages from a sender to a receiver over a network of nodes, where adversaries can control links between the nodes and can also control the behavior of a large number of nodes. Various techniques can be used, along or in combination, to combat these effects. In one approach, certain trigger conditions are identified, the occurrence of which signals malicious behavior within the network. When signaled, the sender requests status reports from the intermediate nodes in an effort to determine which nodes are malicious. The information for the status reports is generated by nodes as packets are passed from one node to the next.
