In one method, pilots are transmitted on the downlink and uplink channels and used to derive estimates of ... 06/16/05 - 20050128952 - Executing and implementing a service for establishing network connections A method for a service provider to be able to work with a client under an engagement relationship to repair a failed network connection between a client system and a network is disclosed. In a first aspect, the method preferably includes collecting real time connectivity information by the client system ... 06/09/05 - 20050122910 - System and method for determining whether a network destination is reachable A method and system for providing system event notifications to clients such as applications. Clients register for notification of one or more types of events with a registration mechanism, and a System Event Notification Service, (SENS), receives system event information and fires event notifications in response thereto. A distribution mechanism ... 06/09/05 - 20050122909 - Method and mechanism for providing computer programs with computer system events A method and system for providing system event notifications to clients such as applications. Clients register for notification of one or more types of events with a registration mechanism, and a System Event Notification Service, (SENS), receives system event information and fires event notifications in response thereto. A distribution mechanism ... 06/09/05 - 20050122908 - Method of and control node for detecting failure A method of detecting a failure in a network, which includes a transport plane comprised of a plurality of communication nodes performing optical cross-connect and a control plane comprised of a plurality of control nodes that are connected to and control the respective communication nodes, includes the steps of transmitting, ... ### FreshPatents.com Support - Terms & Conditions |
