The method is for providing broadband access into a dwelling (144). A radio base station (134) is provided that is in connection with a power-line communication (PLC) gateway (138). The radio base station (134) transmits an information signal (137) to the PLC gateway (138). The PLC gateway (138) receives the signal and transmits the information signal (137) via power-line 136 to an inside of the dwelling (144).

A cellular radio system in which a base station receiver can receive, on the reverse link, data from a mobile terminal in one of four control modes. In the first mode, the mobile terminal sends an independent user pilot, not synchronized with the base station, on the reverse link and the user data channel is synchronized to this independent user pilot. In the second mode, the mobile terminal slaves its user pilot to the pilot it receives from the base station and the user data channel is synchronized with this slaved user pilot. This second mode allows the user terminal to receive round trip delay information for purposes of geolocation and rapid reacquisition. In the third mode, the mobile terminal slaves its user pilot to the incoming base station pilot, as in the case of mode two, but the user data channel operates in the orthogonal mode using the ranging information received from the base station. The phase relationship between the user pilot channel and the user data channel is calibrated. The user pilot carrier is also the carrier for the user data channel and can be used as the carrier reference for detecting the user data channel. In the fourth mode, the slaved pilot implementation of mode three is used for acquisition but, after acquisition, the user pilot code is phase shifted to be synchronous with the user data channel, thus also making it an orthogonal channel. In this mode, the pilots no longer contribute interference to the user data channels, within the cell, and can be transmitted at higher power levels.

This specification discloses a method of managing data snapshot images in a storage system.

The present invention is directed to system for and methods of real time observing, monitoring, and detecting anomalies in programs' behavior at instruction level. The hardware assist design in this invention provides fine grained observability, and controllability. Fine grained observability provides unprecedented opportunity for detecting anomaly. Controllability provides a powerful tool for stopping anomaly, repairing the kernel and restoring the state of processing. The performance improvement over pure software approach is estimated to be many orders of magnitudes. This invention is also effective and efficient in detecting mutating computer viruses, where normal, signature based, virus detection is under performing.
