Appl. No.:

10/846005

Inventors:

Mari Shaw - Philadelphia PA, US
Joseph Murray - Yardley PA, US

International Classification:

H04L009/32

US Classification:

713200000

Abstract:

Disclosed is a system for accurately storing and reading digital identifications and permissions with an access rights management component that protects the privacy and integrity of the data stored on a smart device such as a smart card. The invention is intended to enable effective use of smart cards for applications such as air travelers identity, medical information such as history and prescriptions, or secure employee access cards. Multiple levels of security are permitted to ensure that users of the data, programs, and other resources stored on the card may access only that data that they have been authorized to. The use of a single card for multiple user roles necessitates multiple access methods to the card. For example, in a medical information or prescription card scenario, the cardholder may be the patient, and be able to access their personal patient data which is stored on the card with a PIN, password, or passphrase, by entering the aforementioned code on a computing device () which is attached to a card reader/writer device () which has the patient's card () inserted into it. That patient's doctor may be provided access to data on the same card, which may or may not include the patient's data by entering an alternate code, or providing a digital signature to the card from his or her card authorizing the doctor to write prescription information or update medical history. In this example, the patient would have read-only access to the data that the doctor had written. The technology disclosed in the invention is also intended for travelers' identification, which could hold biometric identity information, ticketing and/or boarding information, and federal information about the cardholder which would permit or prohibit the cardholder from traveling on airline flights.

International Classification:

H04W 72/04

US Classification:

455450

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for supporting machine-type communications (MTC) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may configure itself to operate in a mobile-originated-only mode. The WTRU may perform no, or a subset of, radio resource control (RRC) idle and/or non-access stratum (NAS) idle/standby state procedures in the mobile-originated-only mode. For example, the WTRU may perform cell reselection but not paging monitoring in the mobile-originated-only mode. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform paging monitoring but not cell reselection and location update. The operation in the mobile-originated-only mode may be triggered explicitly or implicitly. For example, the WTRU may operate in the mobile-originated-only mode if an inactivity timer expires. The WTRU may switch the mode in accordance with a pre-configured schedule. After transition of the operation mode, the WTRU may send a message to the network indicating such mode switch.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

A device and method for registering devices on advanced networks as well as providing operative communications between a legacy device and a advanced network. The legacy device may contain data, such as sensor data, which is being collected on a network outside the communication range/abilities of the legacy device. An intermediary device may receive the data via a first communication scheme and send the device to a server collecting the data via a second communication scheme.

International Classification:

H04W 72/04

US Classification:

4554521

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described generally related to the creation of a spectrum allocator (SA) function that can be used to dynamically assign/reassign the frequency of operation of a node operating in a wireless communication network. To permit LTE operation in license exempt (LE) bands, the radio resource management (RRM) system is enhanced to include an interface, which allows it to communicate with modules external to the RRM, such as a coexistence manager, policy engine and sensing toolbox.
