摘要:
The invention relates to a method for automatic roaming between heterogeneous WLANs and/or GSM/GPRS/UMTS networks. According to said method, for authentication purposes a mobile IP node (20) requests access to the WLAN at an access point (21, 22). Upon receiving a request from the access server (23), the mobile IP node (20) transmits an IMSI that is stored on a SIM card (201) of the mobile IP node (20) to said access server (23). Based on said IMSI and with the aid of information stored in a SIM user database (34), the logic IP data channel of the WLAN is supplemented in a user specific manner with corresponding GSM data for signal and data channels of a GSM network and the authentication of the IP nodes (20) is carried out in an HLR (37) and/or (37) a GSM network.

A method for providing wireless online access comprises: establishing a wireless access signal space wherein a wireless communications link is established between a secondary wireless unit and at least one primary wireless unit, thereby providing a corresponding secondary subscriber with online access by data packet transmission between the primary wireless unit and the secondary wireless unit; and receiving, from an online access provider, a credited revenue amount in return for providing online access for the secondary subscriber.

The invention of present provides for a real-time authentication and billing gateway for WLAN traffic. Notably, the improved method for implementing a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) gateway system enables telecommunications network operators (and like entities) to rate and bill for services accessed by the wireless user. The logic of the invention supports and furthers the art in regards to advanced real-time rating/billing in addition to providing for a variety of replenishment mechanisms for casual users via pre-paid vouchers and credit cards.
摘要:
An approach to handling packet-based data communication sessions between users and one or more data services is used for creating, provisioning, and using the data services to monitor and control packet-based data sessions between mobile terminals in a wireless telephone network and service providers accessible to those mobile terminals over a data network, for example over the Internet. For any particular mobile terminal, multiple service interactions, which may overlap in time, can be handled during a period of time during which the mobile terminal maintains data communication with the system. In one aspect the approach features a provisioning a service on the node, which includes configuring a detection point for the service. The node processes communication. This processing includes monitoring the communication to identify matches to the configured detection point. On identifying a match to the configured detection point, service logic for the service is notified of the detection point.

The invention relates to a method and device for providing a communication or chat session with a plurality of users, in particular for mobile radio networks according to GSM or UTMS standard. A first user starts a GPRS session requesting an IP address at his network. Then he sends an initiation SMS-message comprising his IP-address to a plurality of other users, preferably selected from his mobile station's telephone book. Addressed users also request own IP addresses at their respective networks and send a reply including their respective own IP-address via GPRS to the first user. After receiving at least one reply by the first user the chat session is activated and all participants can exchange messages, preferably text and images, via GPRS or another packet switched service. This method provides a more convenient, less expensive and faster text exchange than corresponding via SMS-messages.

A user requiring access to a wireless LAN network using their WLAN access device performs the following steps. To obtain a session-specific and user specific access token the user sends a mobile originated short message from their mobile device, 1, addressed to a specific SMS ARTG access interface application provided as part of a WLAN access control system, 11, using a specific dialling code. The SMS ARTG access interface application on the WLAN access control system, 11, receives the short message from an SMSC, 2, using the normal delivery mechanisms provided by the SMSC platform. The dialling code is advertised nationally and locally by the WLAN network operator so that it is available to users when required.

A mobile radio access network includes a plurality of radio cells, the plurality of radio cells comprising at least a first cell type of radio cells and a second cell type of radio cells, the first cell type of radio cells including at least one of a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell and a hybrid cell, and the second cell type of radio cells including open cells; and a charging unit, configured to receive cell information corresponding to at least one subscriber out of a plurality of subscribers, wherein the cell information is dependent on whether the subscriber has entered, left, or accessed a radio cell of the first tell type.

Various methods for selecting a network access subscription are provided. One example method includes receiving a request to participate in a communications session, determining that at least two subscriptions for network access are available, determining tariffs for one or more connection types that are available through each subscription, 5 determining cost factors for each connection type of the at least two subscriptions based on the tariffs, and selecting a target subscription and a target connection type for use in satisfying the request based on the cost factors. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided.
