TLDR
The authors propose a system architecture for delivery of PISA based on distributed servers, and discuss the connection-oriented support services it may require from the PCS network.Abstract:
Future personal communications services (PCS) networks will provide mobile users with integrated personal information services and applications (PISA), such as personalized news and financial information, banking and file access. The authors propose a system architecture for delivery of PISA based on distributed servers, and discuss the connection-oriented support services it may require from the PCS network. In this architecture real mobility on the part of the user may result in virtual mobility of the server, which the authors propose be handled by a service handoff procedure broadly analogous to a PCS call handoff. They describe components of the service handoff procedure and the PCS network support they entail. They also discuss how users' service profiles can be maintained in this architecture. >read more

Patent
System and Method for Transmission of Data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a system and method for data communication connecting on-line networks with on-online and off-line computers, which provides for broadcast of up to the minute notification centric information thereby providing an instant call to action for users who are provided with the ability to instantaneously retrieve further detailed information.

Method for Transmission of Information to the User
Janne Kari,Heikki Rautila +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system for transmitting information to a user comprises a search terminal (1) for sending an information query, means (3, 4, 4", 4', 4") for receiving and processing of the information query; and means (2) for transmitting the information to the search terminal and presenting it to the user.

Method and system for automatically harmonizing access to a software application program via different access devices
Michael L. Grandcolas,Wendell W. Anthony,Patrick Law,Leslie Moss,Teresa A. Petach,Peter Tompkins +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system automatically harmonizes access to a given software application program via different access devices, such as web browsers, screen phones and personal computers, by receiving information from the user via the access device, including information identifying the type of device being used and the application program the user wishes to access.
Journal Article
Efficient indexing for broadcast based wireless systems
TL;DR: This work proposes several randomized and Huffman-encoding based indexing schemes that are sensitive to data popularity patterns to structure data transmission on the wireless medium, so that the average energy consumption of mobile units and data access time are minimized while trying to access desired data.

Disconnected operation in the Coda File System
TL;DR: This paper shows that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in the Coda File System by showing that caching of data, now widely used for performance, can also be exploited to improve availability.

Disconnected operation in the Coda file system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe disconnected operation in the Coda File System and show that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in Coda file system.
Providing connection-oriented network services to mobile hosts
TL;DR: This work presents several alternative schemes for maintaining network connections used to provide multimedia service, as hosts move through a nano-cellular radio network, using a simple analytical model.
