Appl. No.:

09/055025

Inventors:

James D. Thayer - San Diego CA
David R. Eames - Poway CA

Assignee:

Qualcomm Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

370241, 712200, 712216, 714 37, 714738, 707 3, 455 674, 709249

Abstract:

A system test metacontroller including an input device and a processor. The input device accepts a metascript containing commands to control devices which are part of a test arrangement. At least one of the devices is an interactive device responsive to interactive programming instructions, and at least another device is non-interactive. The processor decomposes the metascript into instructions capable of driving the interactive device and the non-interactive device. The invention permits the testing of both interactive and non-interactive devices from one input metascript. The invention should be particularly useful in testing communications networks such as CDMA cellular phone networks.

Abstract:

A system for maintaining a distributed object system using a network. Data objects are maintained at a network controller and are each associated with a data object version sequence number (OVSN), indicating a state, version, or configuration of each data object. When a receiver transmits a message to the network controller, the message includes an OVSN, representing a state, version, or configuration of objects located at the receiver, so the network controller can interpret the message in accordance with the OVSN contained in the message. The network controller may update the receiver's data objects if necessary.
