Exemplary embodiments include methods and systems for a deterministic facilitating for a dual-mode handoff between a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN). The hand-off method may include associating identification information with a mobile user device and locating the mobile user device within a local area network based at least in part on the identification information associated with the mobile user device. The hand-off method may also include moving the mobile user device outside a coverage area of the local area network, associating the mobile user device with a wide area network based at least in part on the identification information associated with the mobile user device, and updating a wide area network server of a location associated with the mobile user device.

System and method for dual-mode handoff

A system includes a Healthcare Advisory System (HAS) module and a server. The HAS module may send user location information to the server. Based on user information and environment information stored on the server, an alert may be generated and sent to a user via the HAS module.

System and method for healthcare advisory system

A test set for evaluating network performance is described, and which may include an output device, a processor, a power supply, a memory unit, and a control terminal. The test set may be configured to receive a user-entered selection of one of a plurality of different bit-error rate profiles and generate a test signal exhibiting the selected bit-error rate profile. The test set may also supply the test signal exhibiting the selected bit-error rate profile to a network under test. In addition, the test set may receive as an input, an output from the network under test. The output may include the test signal exhibiting the selected bit-error rate. The test set may evaluate the received test signal and determine the performance of the network in response to the received test signal exhibiting the bit-error rate. The test set may then output the results of the evaluation.

Method and apparatus for monitoring bit-error rate

A method and apparatus for measurement of service disruption interval is described. The apparatus may include may included a setting component, a generating component, a first output component, a receiving component, a service disruption start time designator, a settling start time designator, a settling period designator, a service disruption end time designator, a service disruption interval designator, a second output component, and a memory component. In general, a test set consistent with the described embodiments may continuously send test traffic through a network under test ('NUT') and monitor the traffic output from the NUT. The test set may be configured to detect the start of a service disruption and to detect when the service disruption has been cleared. Based on these two pieces of information, the test set may determine and report a service disruption interval.
