A method of regulating usage and/or concession eligibility in a smart card system is described herein. A card acceptance location () detects a presence of a smart card and determines its identification code. The card acceptance location () checks the identification code against a list stored locally at the card acceptance location (). The card acceptance location () received the list from a second device. If the identification code of the smart card is listed on the list, the card acceptance location () performs an action on the smart card.

Method of regulating usage and/or concession eligibility via distributed list management in a smart card system

Fixed network equipment ( ) initializes a channel aggregation strategy and establishes a default channel aggregation. A request for a service requiring additional bandwidth is received from a device. An updated channel aggregation is generated based upon the request and the channel aggregation strategy to create an updated channel aggregation. The updated channel aggregation is signaled to at least one mobile station ( ) via an in-band message.

System and method of achieving dynamic channel bandwidth

The device ( ) includes a processor ( ) coupled to a memory ( ) containing a program adapted to control the processor ( ) to manage communications between data communications systems. The management method includes the steps of receiving a first message sent from a first data communications system ( ) comprising a plurality of blocks ( ), determining whether the blocks ( ) of the first message are transferable or non-transferrable, sending a request repeat message to the first data communications system ( ) to request the first data communications system ( ) to resend the non-transferable blocks ( ) of the first message if the processor ( ) determines that any of the blocks ( ) of the first message are non-transferable, and sending the transferable blocks ( ) in the form of a second message comprising a first plurality of fragments ( ) to a second data communications system ( ) without waiting for the first data communications system ( ) to resend the non-transferable blocks ( ).
