A method, apparatus, system and computer program product are provided which permit the functionality of a device to be adapted or otherwise altered without requiring the device to be completely reprogrammed. In this regard, attributes which at least partially define the functionality of the device may be changed or supplemented in order to correspondingly alter the device functionality which, in turn, at least partially depends upon the attributes stored by the device.

Methods, apparatus and computer program product for altering device functionality

Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for wireless resource sharing between heterogeneous wireless networks to enable coexistence of secondary networks. An example embodiment of the invention includes a method, comprising: receiving, at an apparatus or entity, information associated with a wireless network; determining, by the apparatus or entity, a geographic communication area and one or more geographic interference areas associated with the wireless network based on the received information; transmitting, by the apparatus or entity, a message to a destination to register the wireless network and the determined geographic communication area and one or more geographic interference areas associated with the wireless network; and receiving, by the apparatus or entity, confirmation of the registering of the wireless network at the destination and information associated with zero or more wireless networks that at least one of potentially interfere with the determined geographic communication area associated with the wireless network, or potentially experience interference caused by the determined one or more interference areas associated with the wireless network.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for wireless network discovery based on geographical location

A system for propagating encryption key information between wireless communication devices without the requirement of pairing each and every device. A wireless communication device may be paired with at least one device in a group of devices. When a secure link is established between these devices, a determination may be made as to whether encryption key information should be passed from one device to another. The additional encryption key information may allow a wireless communication device to create a secure link with other devices without having to first establish a trusted relationship (e.g., go through a pairing process) with the other devices.

A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modems contained within the same WCD. One or more of the plurality of radio modems may be a dual-mode radio modem enabled to communicate using at least two separate radio protocols concurrently. The operation of the one or more dual-mode modems may be managed by resources encompassed in a radio modem interface coupled to, or integrated within, the dual-mode radio modem. These management resources may receive information from the operating system level of the WCD and from the at least two radio modem stacks utilizing the resources of the dual mode radio modem in order to coordinate the operation of the at least two radio protocols concurrently active in the modem.
