    Abstract: An interface between a parallel backplane bus of a physical layer of a communication device and a higher layer of the device is provided in a manner compatible with a serial bus architecture such as IEEE 1394. The interface includes a parallel backplane physical layer controller having multiple receive data lines for receiving data from the backplane bus, and multiple transmit data lines for transmitting data to the backplane bus. A link layer controller is coupled to the parallel backplane physical layer controller, and communicates with the parallel backplane physical layer controller over a data bus. The parallel backplane physical layer controller can provide an effective data bandwidth which is greater than its operating clock rate. The parallel backplane physical layer controller may also be operative to support communications with the backplane bus using a plurality of different backplane bus widths, such as a single data bit bus width, a two data bit bus width, a four data bit bus width and an eight data bit bus width. The throughput data bandwidth of the interface can therefore be scaled by selecting one of the data bus widths supported by the parallel backplane physical layer controller.

    Abstract: The existing paging infrastructure is used to send commands to operate remotely-located electronic or mechanical devices. A paging message containing one or more preset commands, trigger signals, or command strings is received by a paging receiver into an optional signal buffer which provides the received message to a message compare function. The message compare matches each component of the message to a set of one or more allowed commands and sends at least one signal or command that causes the action specified by the received message contents to take place at the target device. The command may be a signal for triggering an electronic or mechanical action, or may be a command that causes an operation to be performed in a software-controlled component of the target device. An alternate embodiment allows responses generated by the system and/or the target device to be forwarded back to the initiator via a two-way paging transceiver. The target device either has the capability of generating one or more signals or other messages in response to the commands received, or the system has the capability of sensing the state of the target device after receipt of the commands. Responses generated by the target device may be sent to the optional signal buffer or directly to the paging transceiver, or may be received and modified by a response generation function that is part of the system. Responses may be relayed either at the completion of the execution of all the received commands or after the execution of any of the commands in a mufti-command sequence, providing feedback to the initiator as the command sequence is processed. The initiator may also receive an indication of the success or failure of the entire sequence of operations, or may receive data or other information produced or collected by the target device.

    Abstract: A method of increasing a number of possible users in a wireless communication system comprises directing steered beams to users within a sector of the system so that each user receives data via its own unique steered beam from a base station. The steered beams prevent more than one user from receiving data carried on the same beam. If the steered beams for at least two users are far enough apart so they do not interfere with each other, the base station assigns the two users the same code, such as the same Walsh code, for coding and decoding purposes to allow the base station to assign the same code to more than one user in a given sector.

    Abstract: A system for managing security keys in a wireless network includes a manufacturer certification authority (MCA) for providing a signed digital MCA certificate for installation into a new network element (NE) at the manufacturer's facility prior to the new NE being installed and initialized in the network. The MCA also provides a source of trusted authority for authenticating legacy NEs in the network. The system includes a service provider certification authority for managing certificates and files used by the NEs to communicate securely within the network, a signing server for providing signing services to NEs for authentication, an element manager for providing security key and digital certificate management, and a management agent (MA) for providing proxy functionality of the EM security key services to NEs not directly connected to the EM.

    Abstract: An automatically provisioned network element (26) has the ability to detect a heartbeat message interval used by a remote network element (22, 24) and to automatically adjust a heartbeat interval timer value that it uses for sending subsequent heartbeat messages. The adjustment is responsive to the interval used by the remote network element 50 that they correspond to each other. By automatically configuring the heartbeat timer interval value so that there is correspondence between the intervals used by the end points on a link over which Cisco HDLC SLARP communications occur, for example, the chance of a link being considered to have failed is decreased. In a disclosed example, the heartbeat interval timer value is. initially set to a value that is expected to be higher than that used by the remote network element and only automatic reductions in the heartbeat message interval timer value are ermitted.
