Isolating tenants in a multi-tenant cloud system includes identifying a plurality of tenants in the multi-tenant cloud system, assigning a domain to each tenant of the plurality of tenants based on a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), for each wavelength set of the plurality of wavelength sets, associating each wavelength set with a different domain of the plurality of domains and with a different indicator identifying the domain for the wavelength set, and isolating each tenant using the associated wavelength sets and associated indicators. The plurality of tenants share computational resources in the multi-tenant cloud system and the domain includes the computational resources for each tenant. The WDM uses a plurality of wavelength sets and each wavelength set includes one or more wavelengths.

Examples of determining the position of a mobile device within a structure are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computing device may include a processor and a memory. The computing device may further include an extraction module stored in the memory and executing on the processor to extract from a location-based service data stream a signal measurement of the path loss between a mobile device and a plurality of radio nodes distributed throughout a structure. The computing device may also include a positioning determining module stored in the memory and executing on the processor to determine the position of the mobile device within the structure using a known location for each of the plurality of radio nodes distributed throughout the structure by performing a linear optimization using the extracted signal measurement of the path loss.

A method and system for delivering program timing, structure, and identity information in media streams. Cues are utilized to indicate an event (e.g., a start or stop time of a program or program segment) whose precise timing is important to receivers. A server-side cue handling mechanism is provided for selectively generating cues based on configuration information and detected events. A client-side cue handling mechanism is provided for detecting cues and providing the cues to applications that can utilize the cues to perform a useful function or task.

A networked information resource generation system includes a wireless network (), a transceiver () and mobile devices (-). The mobile devices (-) share information over the network () via the transceiver (). The information shared over the network () is displayed on the mobile devices (-) web-page () which is dynamically updated with information from the mobile devices (-).

Dynamic generation of a networked information resource

A method is disclosed of transferring data to a first communications device having a first transceiver for communication at a first data rate over a long range, and a second transceiver for communication at a second, higher data rate over a short range. The method includes forming a co-ordinated short-range wireless network using the first communications device and at least one second communications device of a similar type. Communication is then initiated between the first communications device and said at least one second communications device to establish whether that second communications device has data required by the first communications device. The first communications device then communicates, upon the first communications device receiving confirmation that a second communications device has the required data, with a service provider using its first transceiver to request permission for the transfer of the required data from said communications device to the first communications device. Finally, the required data is transferred from said second communications device to the first communications device, following transmission by the service provider to the first communications device of authorisation.

In a reservation network designed to carry bursty traffic an improved dynamic bandwidth allocation method accounts for reservation latency. In one advantageous embodiment wherein the system is memoryless, a user will request its queue size divided by the reservation latency in the system. Alternatively, a small memory based system can achieve further efficiencies by making available to a user a frame length amount of memory. The user can then request the greater as between its queue size divided by the reservation latency and the number of current arrivals at the user.
