In an embodiment, a method comprises initiating a monitoring session for a communication path including creating and storing monitoring session state data; sending, to a first responder computer of the communication path, a first request to initiate a first state servlet that is configured to monitor continuously during the monitoring session one or more characteristics of one or more processes that the first responder computer may perform; sending, to the first responder computer, monitoring instructions to monitor the one or more characteristics of the one or more processes; while the monitoring session is active and the first responder computer is in the communication path, receiving and collecting monitored information from the first responder computer; in response to determining that the first responder computer is not in the communication path or that the monitoring session has become inactive, automatically and autonomously ending the monitoring session.

Continuous autonomous monitoring of systems along a path

A method is disclosed for transmitting system management requests to computer systems along a network path using a network control protocol, such as RSVP. For example, an originating node may send a single system management request along a path to a destination node using a network control protocol. Each computer system along the network path may analyze the network control protocol message to determine whether the message contains a system management request. If a system management request is found in the message, the computer system may perform the system management function identified in the request, and respond to it.

Performing path-oriented systems management

A shuttle message that is passed between GPS enabled devices that is processed at either a bit level or word level with data that the GPS enable device has already gathered and augmenting the positioning data stored at GPS enabled devices by retrieving data contained in the shuttle message. The shuttle message is then passed with any updated information from a GPS enabled device to one or more other devices such as a mobile station.

Distributed data collection of satellite data

In a method for providing location-based information over a network, a plurality of GPS reference data sets, corresponding to a plurality of respective local areas, are acquired at intervals such that each GPS reference data set is updated on a continuous basis. A plurality of aiding data sets are generated at intervals based on the respective GPS data sets, whereby each aiding data set is updated on a continuous basis. The generated aiding data sets are stored at intervals on a data-storing network server, whereby updated aiding data sets are available on a continuous basis for access by a requesting entity via communication with the data-storing network server.

System and method for providing location based services over a network

A system and method for providing aiding information to a satellite positioning system ('SPS') receiver. A digital satellite radio system satellite receives aiding information communicated from a positioning system. The digital satellite radio system broadcasts the aiding information in the data signals it broadcasts to its subscribers. The subscribers receive the aiding information at satellite radio receivers and communicate the aiding information to the SPS receiver. The data signals may also be communicated to terrestrial repeaters for re-broadcast at a higher power. The terrestrial repeaters may input a transmitter identifier to permit the satellite radio receiver to determine a geographical location of the terrestrial repeater as its own.

System and method for providing aided GPS positioning via satellite digital radio system

A network approach for aided GPS broadcast positioning where A-GPS data is made available in the network and broadcast via cell broadcast servers to wireless devices in order to reduce the time required to determine the position of a wireless device.

Network system for aided GPS broadcast positioning

An improved clock synthesizer system and method therefor is described which uses a plurality of dual function pins to apply a frequency selection code while in a first operating mode and to transmit buffered clock signal while in a second operating mode to accomplish required system functions with a reduced overall pin count.
