A method and system for dynamically managing content provided to a mobile device. In one embodiment, the present invention begins by retrieving information from a network. In one embodiment the information is web-based content, and the network is the Internet. The present method and system then dynamically assesses the information which was retrieved from the network. In particular, in one embodiment, the present invention assesses the information by determining the application to which the information corresponds. Next, the present embodiment selectively filters the information such that desired information is compiled. After the selective filtering process, the present embodiment forwards the desired information to the mobile device. In so doing, the present embodiment provides an approach which dynamically manages the content of information so as to efficiently, responsively, and inexpensively provide a mobile device user with desired information.

Dynamic content management for wireless communication systems

A wireless communication system configured for the efficient allocation of resources is provided. The wireless communication system can include a transmit system having a first set of one or more antennas each configured to transmit a data signal over a region to a receive system having a second set of two or more antennas each configured to receive the transmitted data signal. The transmit system can be configured to adjust a transmission parameter of a data signal based on a level of signal fading in the region to sustain a target bit rate, adjust a power and a bit rate at which a data signal is transmitted based on the level of signal fading in the region and select a subset of antennas within the first set of antennas to be used to transmit a data signal based on the level of signal fading in the region.

Systems and methods for resource allocation to multiple antenna arrays for maintaining a constant bit rate (CBR) channel

Active networking techniques enable intermediate systems to determine whether data in a packet which is traversing the system is compressed, encrypted or otherwise dynamically processed. Based on this determination, the dynamic processing resources at the intermediate system are invoked or not. Thus, dynamic processing resources can be conserved. Active networking data is placed in packets flowing between end systems. The end system sending these packets may not know whether there are intermediate systems between it and the other end system that require knowledge about compressed data in the packet. It places the active networking data in packets so that any intermediate systems that can use knowledge of which packets contain compressed data may use the active networking data to make the determination.

System for managing dynamic processing resources in a network

A system for providing policy management in a network that includes nodes operating in multiple protocol layers and having enforcement functions. Multiple network devices, such as routers, remote access equipment, switches, repeaters and network cards, and end system processes having security functions are configured to contribute to implementation of policy enforcement in the network. By distributing policy enforcement functionality to a variety of network devices and end systems, a pervasive policy management system is implemented. The policy management system includes a policy implementation component that accepts policy, i.e. instructions or rules, that define how the network device should behave when confronted with a particular situation. The management system further includes a management station interface operating pursuant to a first process capable of providing an object to the network, the object including variables and one of a method or instructions to locate a method, executable on the network to set up a second process to enforce a portion of the policy.

Dynamic policy management apparatus and method using active network devices

Controlling network services using palm sized computers is described. A program on the palm sized computer is used to access a registry of network services that may be available. The registry includes descriptions for various services. Each description includes at least a reference to program code that can be downloaded to the palm sized computer. Executing this program causes the palm sized computer to issue commands directly to the specific network services needed. In some cases, these network services include application services for running desktop applications that the palm sized computer could not execute.
