Embodiments herein include a method for concurrently performing asynchronous operations over IPv4 and IPv6 in a mobile device. The method includes capturing a DNS query-pattern of a plurality of DNS queries for a plurality of services of an application in the mobile device. Further, the method includes performing a DNS lookup in a DNS cache, to obtain a DNS resolution over the IPv4 and the IPv6 based on the DNS query-pattern of the plurality of DNS queries for the plurality of services of the application. Further, the method includes storing the DNS resolution based on the DNS lookup in the DNS cache. Further, the method includes triggering a TCP connection using a pre-connected connection descriptor based on a domain name resolution. Further, the method includes storing the pre-connected connection descriptor corresponding to the TCP connection in a connection pool cache.

A wireless communication terminal for wireless communication is disclosed. The wireless communication terminal includes: a transceiver; and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a non-legacy physical layer frame including a legacy signaling field including information decodable by a legacy wireless communication terminal by using the transceiver.

An interworking gateway for X2 interface communication is disclosed, comprising: an X2 internal interface for communicating with, and coupled to, a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) using a X2AP protocol; a database for associating each of the plurality of RANs with support status for an X2AP protocol version; an X2AP interworking broker for determining, based on communications with each of the plurality of RANs via the X2 internal interface, the support status for an X2AP protocol version for each of the plurality of RANs, the communications further comprising an observed response to a X2AP message of a first X2AP protocol version; and an X2 external interface for communicating with, and coupled to, a destination outside of the plurality of RANs.

The invention relates to a method for discovering a home agent serving a mobile node upon the mobile node changing its mobility management scheme in a packet-switched network and the implementation of such method in a mobile node or home agent. In order to propose a home agent discover scheme that maintains session continuity in a seamless manner upon a mobile node changing its mobility management scheme, a mobile node comprises information on its location prior to changing the mobility management scheme to one of the first signaling messages transmitted upon changing the mobility management scheme (home agent discovery message). The receiving node uses this information to identify the home agent serving the mobile node or to provide a hint to the home agent where the mobile node is registered in a response message to the mobile node.

A method, a wireless device and a session management node for IP version selection for a PDU session requested to be established by a WCD, that supports PDU sessions of both IPv4 and IPv6 and that is configured to operatively communicate via a RAN with a SM node in a core network 101, the method being performed by the WCD comprises: sending S110 a first PDU session request message towards the SM node requesting establishment of a first PDU session, which request message comprises IP-version information indicating that the IP version of the requested first PDU session should be any one of IPv4 or IPv6; and receiving S130, S140, in response to sending the first PDU session request message, a first response message, which first response message comprises WCD information indicating the IP-version (i.e. IPv4 or IPv6) that has been selected for the requested first PDU session.

An apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to output a first superframe configured in an initial superframe mode that allocates each slot of a plurality of slots for wireless communication to a first protocol at a first frequency band, a second protocol at the first frequency band, or a third protocol at the first frequency band. The processing circuitry is also configured to output a second superframe configured in a multi-frequency superframe mode that allocates: i) at least one slot of a plurality of slots for wireless communication to the first protocol, the second protocol, or the third protocol at the first frequency band, and ii) at least one slot of the plurality of slots for wireless communication to the first protocol, the second protocol, or the third protocol at the second frequency band.

A communication device capable of certainly preventing an external device incompatible with an IPv6 address from acquiring the IPv6 address. A display unit is controlled so as to display a QR image including an IPv4 address of the communication device when the IPv4 address is valid in the communication device. When the IPv4 address is invalid and the IPv6 address is valid in the communication device, the display unit is controlled so as not to display a QR image including the IPv6 address of the communication device.

Techniques are described for managing communications between multiple computing nodes, such as computing nodes that are part of a virtual computer network. In some situations, various types of modifications may be made to one or more computing nodes of an existing virtual computer network, and the described techniques include managing ongoing communications for those computing nodes so as to accommodate the modifications. Such modifications may include, for example, migrating or otherwise moving a particular computing node that is part of a virtual network to a new physical network location, or modifying other aspects of how the computing node participates in the virtual network (e.g., changing one or more virtual network addresses used by the computing node). In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.

Method and apparatus for monitoring the status and location of personnel using a remote timer. In some embodiments, a method includes logging in, through a network accessible device, a geo position of a subject to initiate a monitored session associated with the subject. A countdown timer of a remote server is initiated to denote a monitored time interval, the remote server in communication with the network accessible device over a network. A notification is generated and transmitted across the network to a monitoring device responsive to a conclusion of the monitored time interval.
