Abstract: A telecommunications system is operable to provide a facility for a communications session to a mobile node using an internet protocol. When changing affiliation from one of a first and second packet data network to the other of the first and second packet data network (S1), a mobile node (31) is operable to generate a service level identifier (37) representing a requested priority (S2) to be afforded to the internet packets communicated to and from the mobile node with respect to other internet packets communicated to and from other nodes. The mobile node is also operable to generate a binding update internet packet (35) providing a care of address of the mobile and an indication of the service level identifier (S2) in the binding update internet packet and to communicate the binding update internet data packets to a home agent (S3) of the mobile node. The home agent is operable in response to the binding update to identify the service level identifier (S4) and to communicate the internet packets in accordance with the requested priority (S5) represented by the service level identifier. The telecommunications system can prioritise the transmission of internet packets according to a priority requested by the mobile node represented by the service level identifier thus reducing a likelihood that mobile node will experience delays or interruptions in the transmission of data.

Abstract: A telecommunications system comprises a user equipment operable to request a bearer for communicating internet protocol data according to the second internet protocol (IPv4) to and from a gateway support node of a packet radio network. The gateway support node is operable to establish a tunnelling protocol bearer for communicating the internet packet data to and from the user equipment across the packet data network. The user equipment is operable in combination with the gateway support node to form a link local address. The link local address comprises an interface identifier including a tunnelling end identifier of the tunnelling protocol bearer which ends at a gateway support node of the core network part of the packet radio network. An internet protocol address according to the first internet protocol is requested from an address allocation server using the link local address. The user equipment is operable in combination with the gateway support node to receive an allocated internet protocol address according to the first internet protocol, and to communicate with the user equipment using the allocated internet protocol address. Embodiments of the present invention provide a facility for generating a link local address, which can be routed according to the first internet protocol to a server. As such the link local address can be used to acquire an internet protocol address from an address allocation server according to the first internet protocol. The acquired address can therefore be used to communicate internet protocol data, replacing the link local address with the acquired address of the user equipment.

Abstract: An applications server is operable to provide a plurality of user driven services by running an application program. The application program is arranged to provide the services in response to user commands for selecting service options. The applications server comprises in accordance with the application program a state machine able to determine a current state of the application program from one of a predetermined set of states defining a logical procedure through the user selected service options. The application program also comprises a command recognition engine, including a grammar processor to provide the command recognition engine with a set of possible user commands which may be provided for a particular state, the possible commands being determined by the states which may be reached from the current state. The command recognition engine, in response to a received user command, provides the state machine with an estimate of at least one of the possible commands, which the user may have provided. The state machine changes state in response to the estimated user command. The state machine determines the transitions between the states at run-time and the grammar engine adapts the possible user commands to be recognised for a current state in association with the state transitions, which are determined at run-time. As such, the applications server can provision user driven services, which can be dynamically adapted and blended in accordance with user requirements.

Abstract: An internet packet comprises a header field, the header field including a field identifying a source address of the internet packet, a field identifying the destination address of the internet packet and a next header field identifying whether an extension header follows the header and a type of the extension header. The extension header indicates a hop-by-hop option header, the hop-by-hop extension header including a router alert option header type indicating that the extension field is optional for a router to read, and a field providing information for a gateway support node of a packet radio system network. A gateway support node is thereby provided with information, which may be required for example to support a mobile internet protocol (IP). However, by providing the router alert option field, a router is not required to read the remainder of the hop-by-hop option field. As a result, a reduction in the performance of the router in routing internet packets, which may have been incurred if the router was required to read all the hop-by-hop extension field can be limited.

Abstract: A method of telecommunication systems that can be accessed via an unlicensed-radio access network, and is particularly, but not exclusively, related to the authorisation and registration of a mobile terminal via unlicensed radio access networks. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of authenticating a request for access to a telecommunications system which involves App 10 receiving at least two messages: a registration request, and a predetermined message (such as an SMS with token details). The App 10 receives a registration request message from the mobile station (S2.2), and transmits a rejection message in response to the receipt of the registration request message (S2.5), without referring to any subscriber specific records. Further, once the App 10 has received the registration request the App 10 checks the registration request in step S2.3 and stores (S2.4) an identifier relating to the mobile station from which the registration request came. When the App 10 receives a predetermined message from a network node (S4.1), the App 10 determines whether an identity in the message matches the stored identifier (S4.2 and S4.3). If it does, the App 10 completes the authentication of the mobile station, by sending a message to permit registration (S4.4).
