摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to facilitate operation of a roaming mobile node to perform a packet communication service. When the mobile node roams beyond its home network, detection is made of the available networks in whose coverage area that the mobile node roams together with the communication capabilities of the available networks. A preferred listing stored at a storage element of the mobile node is accessed to determine if any of the available and compatible networks are listed on the preferred listing. If so, selection is made of one of the available and preferred networks. Otherwise, a network not contained in the preferred listing is selected through which to communicate.
摘要:
Apparatus, and associated methodology, for an I-WLAN or other wireless device. Information associated with network entities, such as an SSID or an associated PLMN, with which the wireless device communicates is buffered. In the event of subsequent loss of communication connectivity, the buffered information is retrieved and used pursuant to a reconnection attempt.
摘要:
Apparatus, and associated methodologies for facilitating sharing and distributing contact, calendar, and scheduling information amongst communication devices. The information is distributed using presence information maintained at a presence server, thereby obviating the need for a user manually to enter the information, or changes to the information, at the different devices that are to be provided with the information.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, to facilitate performance of an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) service to a circuit-switched-connected user equipment. The user equipment includes a USSD message generator that generates an initiation message that is sent to a network of a radio communication system. The message is routed through the network to an entity that decodes the USSD message to form an XCAP message. The XCAP message is routed to an associated service node that operates responsive to the XCAP message.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating selection of a I-WLAN, or other network, by a wireless device. An electronic storage element is provided. A listing of specific network identifiers is stored at the electronic storage element. And, a listing indicia identifier is also stored at the electronic storage element. The listing indicia identifier is configured to identify formatting of the specific network identifiers. Formatting of the information permits compliance with 3GPP TS 31.102 [13] that requires that at least ten WSID entries to be storable at a WSID list.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating with which network of a group of wireless local area networks that a mobile node attempts to communicate. Network selection utilizes a network selection list. The network selection list is contained at a SIM card, or the like, if the SIM card is constructed in conformity with a 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) specification. Otherwise, if the card is a legacy card, the network selection list that is used is retrieved from an internal memory element of the mobile node.
摘要:
An apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication operations with a wireless device that is ICS or DTM capable. A message generator is provided, configured to generate a network-terminated message, the network-terminated message including a media feature tag that identifies support of ICS. When transmitted to a network node, the message is detected. And, a wireless-device-terminated message that provides for mapping of a SIP URI into a calling name presentation.
摘要:
An apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication operations with a wireless device that is ICS or DTM capable. Signaling protocols and apparatus are provided for operation of the wireless device when an ICS with the wireless device is ongoing, and the device leaves an area that provides for ICS as well as when the ICS can be provided using circuit-switched connections.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for selecting an EHPLMN pursuant to I-WLAN PLMN selection. An EHPLMN listing is created and maintained at user equipment. Available I-WLAN PLMNs are collected and buffered. A comparator compares entries on the EHPLMN listing and the collected identities. And, I-WLAN PLMN selection is made responsive to the comparison.
