A multipath device for processing multipath data traffic includes: a multipath network access interface comprising at least one access interface for receiving multipath data traffic; and a host processor configured to operate at least one multi-connectivity network protocol and a multipath protocol policy manager (MPPM). The at least one multi-connectivity network protocol is configured to process data traffic of the multipath data traffic that is related to the at least one multi-connectivity network protocol and received via multiple paths of the multipath network access interface. The MPPM is configured to manage the multiple paths of the multipath network access interface and/or the at least one access interface of the multipath network access interface according to a multipath network protocol policy. The multipath network protocol policy depends on feedback from other multi-connectivity network protocols running on the host processor.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a data transmission method, a data transmission apparatus, a processor, and a mobile terminal. The data transmission method includes: determining, by a mobile terminal, whether to use multiple data channels to transmit to-be-transmitted data; if determining to use the multiple data channels to transmit the to-be-transmitted data, selecting, by the mobile terminal, at least two activated data channels for the to-be-transmitted data according to current traffic information and service quality information that are of the multiple data channels; and using, by the mobile terminal, the selected at least two data channels to transmit the to-be-transmitted data.

Broadband communications devices and methods operate with at least two separate communication paths between the devices and the network, such as the Internet. The broadband devices and methods receive data concurrently over the communication paths or separately. The bandwidth is increased when the separate communication paths are combined. The broadband devices employ packetized data with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies combined with RF communications technologies.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for individual delivery of location-based multicast services are provided. One method may include receiving, by a session management node, information that a user equipment is participating in a multicast session, determining that the UE is served by a radio access node that does not support multicast sessions, and determining that the multicast session is only to be delivered to one or several service areas. In response to determining that the UE is served by a radio access node not supporting multicast and that the multicast session is only to be delivered to one or several service areas, the method further comprises subscribing to at least one notification from at least one access and mobility management node.

A system for communicating with removable components may include an electronic controller and a removable component having an identifier and configured to communicate with the electronic controller. The removable component may be configured to transmit the identifier to the electronic controller via a first communication channel. The electronic controller may be configured to transmit a confirmation to the removable component after receipt of the identifier. The removable component may be configured to transmit information to the electronic controller via at least one of the first communication channel and/or a second communication channel, after receipt of the confirmation.

Embodiments are directed to a computer system for managing data transfer. The computer system includes a memory, a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, a send component and a receive component having a message queue and a controller. A link interface communicatively couples the send component to the receive component. The link interface includes a mainline channel and a sideband channel, and the computer system is configured to perform a method. The method includes transmitting mainline channel messages over the mainline channel from the send component to the receive component. The method further includes transmitting sideband channel messages over the sideband channel from the send component to the message queue of the receive component. The method further includes utilizing the controller to control a flow of the sideband channel messages to the message queue without relying on sending feedback to the send component about the flow.

System and methods are provided for receiving identification information from remote user devices associated with users. The identification information serves to obtain corresponding stored user profiles. Primary communication channels are generated for each user based upon their profiles. Each such primary channel is limited to communication with, and facilitates electronic communication between, a single corresponding enterprise data source, and users. For each respective primary channel in a subset of the primary channels of a first user, a corresponding plurality of sub-channels is generated based upon their profile. Each such plurality of sub-channels forms a corresponding hierarchical tree with the corresponding primary channel as root node and the sub-channels as child nodes. A sub-channel in a hierarchy of sub-channels enables secure bidirectional communication between (i) the remote user device associated with the first user and (ii) the enterprise data source associated with the primary channel of the hierarchy.
