Abstract:
In a GPRS system, a method of a mobile station acquiring an IP network address. The method comprises the steps of:the mobile station generating a link identifier and sending it to a gateway over a wireless link in a network address request together with a request to check if the link identifier is unique;the gateway receiving the network address request and checking if the link identifier is unique;the gateway responding with a network address request response including either the sending a unique link identifier confirmed as being unique or a different unique link identifier;the gateway sending a network prefix to the mobile station;the mobile station combining the interface identifier and the network prefix to generate the IP network address.

Abstract:
Managing addresses to be assigned to users of an IP network is described, in which it is detected that a packet has been addressed to a released address held in a queue for holding released addresses, and the held address to which the packet has been addressed is returned to the end of the queue.
Abstract:
The addresses of a mobile station (MS) and a second party (B) connected to the Internet (12) are converted in such a way that a short message service center (SMSC) receives an allocation request (2-1) from a mobile station for allocating a virtual number (VN) to a combination comprising the address (IAB) of a second party preferably also a mobile station identifier. The SMSC sends a reply (2-2) to the mobile station, the reply indicating the allocated virtual number (VN). The mobile station (MS) transmits a short message (2-9) to the virtual member. The SMSC forms an Internet address (IAB) of the second party (B) on the basis of the virtual number (VN) and the allocation request (2-1) and sends to the Internet address an e-mail message (2-10) whose text part corresponds to the text part of the short message. The B party can reply (2-11) by using the reply function of the e-mail, which exchanges the sender for the recipient The B party can also use (2-13) the ISDN number of the mobile station. In both cases (2-12, 2-14) a virtual number (VN) is sent to the mobile station (MS), the number indicating the sender to the user of the mobile station.

Abstract:
An interception method and system for performing a lawful interception in a packet network such as the GPRS or UMTS network is described. A first network element having an intercepting function for intercepting data packets is provided, said interception function being controlled by an interception control means implemented in a second network element, wherein an intercepted data packet is transmitted from the first network element via the packet network to an interception gateway element providing an interface to a intercepting authority. The intercepted data packet is transmitted via a secure tunnel provided by an encryption processing. The interception control means and the interception gateway element may both be integrated in the second network element. The interception system has a clear advantage in scalability, no single point of failure, and an adaptation to different authority interfaces can be implemented only in the interception gateway. The network elements can be similar to a high extent for all different authority requirements.
Abstract:
A method, system and device for protecting a network node by an access blocking function, such as a correspondent node firewall, are disclosed. The access blocking function protects either a first or a second network node and allows access to the protected network node from the other network node via a link associated to an address of the first network node and an address of the second network node. The second network node is configured to change its address. The method comprises associating the link associated to the old address of the second network node to the new address of the second network node when the second network node changes its address.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an apparatus and method for measuring the azimuth and elevation of an object. The apparatus includes a platform; a base plate arranged to the construction of the platform rotatably in a plane, which is essentially horizontal; a sensor frame attached to the base plate; at least three sensor elements attached to the sensor frame; and an electronics unit for the control of the sensor elements, capable of performing the processing of signals received by the sensors. The sensor frame is rigidly attached to the base plate and the directional pattern of the sensor elements is such as to cover the entire angle span of interest in the elevation plane, while the pattern covers an essentially narrower angle in the azimuth plane. The direction finder does not easily lose the tracked object performing movements particularly in the elevation plane.
