Abstract:
To communicate in a press-to-talk (PTT) session, a message for requesting a right to talk in the PTT session is sent over a wireless link between a mobile station and a base station system. The message for requesting the right to talk in the PTT session is sent in wireless signaling over the wireless link. An acknowledgment of the wireless signaling carrying the message is received, with the acknowledgment sent by the base station system in response to the control signaling. An indication is provided at the mobile station of the right to talk in response to the acknowledgment.
Abstract:
A classification application utilizing a table of connection numbers and associated TCP/IP applications is utilized for determining a wireless packet communication, quality of service level by decoding a connection number field of the compressed packet header. Packets carrying different connection numbers can be mapped to different Quality of Service planes. When a non-active TCP connection becomes active, the classification application detects and identifies the connection by reading the connection number field of a compressed TCP/IP header in a packet of the application. The classification application applies the appropriate Quality of Service level as determined from a user database and a list of available Quality of Service levels. If the connection has no table entry, the TCP/IP application is identified based on comparison to a pre-loaded table of port numbers and a new entry is created in the connection number table.
Abstract:
An adaptation sublayer is provided between LAC/MAC and a Packet Data Service Node for a Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system. Quality of Service parameters are defined and stored within a Base Station and Base Transceiver Station along with subscriber profiles, including class of service. The profiles include specified Quality of Service requirements for each subscriber profile. A Quality of Service Adaptation Layer provides logic and control means to identify each active subscriber, provide the associated Quality of Service and direct the active subscriber's communication connection to a target host.
Abstract:
A lateral tear tape stand comprises a base plate; a lower cover body closely disposed on the base plate and having a lateral opening and a longitudinal opening; a controlling member having one end movably fixed on the base plate and the other end outwardly extending through the longitudinal opening; a driving mechanism having a first member, a second member and a spring member for rotatably connecting one end of the first member and that of the second member, the other end of the first member rotatably disposed on the lower cover body and that of the second member outwardly extending through the lateral opening; a pushing mechanism having a laterally elongated pushing plate projecting from the first member and contacting with the controlling member, and a flexible member for connecting the laterally elongated pushing plate with the lower cover body; a hollow and cylindrical driven member irreversibly sheathed on the driving mechanism and having serrated inner wall for irreversably and removably engaging with the other end of the second member; and an upper cover having a vertical edge and a knife member inwardly removable disposed on the vertical edge of the cover such that the clearance between the knife member and the edge of the cover equals to the thickness of a lateral tear tape.
Abstract:
An extended global service redirection message (EGSRDM) is provided within the standards for mobile communications networks, where the EGSRDM supports multiple band class records within the common fields. The base station generates an EGSRDM with multiple band class records, with each band class assigned specific frequencies. When a mobile station (MS) receives the EGSRDM, the MS compares the parameters of the various band classes (frequency, ACCOLC, P_Rev) with those supported by the MS, and generates a list of the band class(es) from those provided within the EGSRDM that are supported by that MS. The MS then selects the first band class within the list and selects a frequency within the selected band class to assign to MS communication. When none of the frequencies within the selected band class is available, the MS selects the next band class within the created list and selects a frequency from the next band class.
Abstract:
A communication network includes first and second network entities capable of over-the-air communication. The second network entity receives at least one message communicated over-the-air by the first network entity. The message includes one or more message fields indicating a number of concurrent over-the-air service instances with the second network entity supported by the first network entity. The second network entity limits a number of concurrent over-the-air service instances requested by the second network entity in accordance with the one or more message fields in the message.
Abstract:
In a wireless communications network, a method of performing a location service with respect to a mobile station includes communicating a paging message containing an indication of whether the paging message is related to at least one of an emergency-related location service and a law enforcement-related location service. In another aspect, a mobile station in a wireless communications network communicates messaging to move the mobile station to a traffic channel in response to a callback by at least one of an emergency services entity and a law enforcement entity. The mobile station also receives a location request on the traffic channel, the location request containing an indication of whether the location request is related to at least one of an emergency-related location service and a law enforcement-related location service.
Abstract:
In code division multiple access communication systems, there are three levels for updating locations of dormant mobile stations (MSs) and setting up fast call. In sector and are levels, the dormant MS send a layer 2 message containing a message type and MS identifier to a base transceiver station (BTS). Since the message is associated with the sector where the MS is located, the network is aware of the MS's location from the updated location. The dormant MS sends to the BTS a reconnect message containing a message type and an MS identifier. The MS's dormant to active state transition is initiated by the MS. In the communication network, sub-packet zone ID is broadcasted in the overhead message. The MS reports its location change on R-CSCH and the network with the BSC level control can page the MS within the zone where the MS sends the report.
Abstract:
Operating a cellular wireless communication network to configure a mobile station to support a Multi-Media Service (MMS). Operation includes determining that configuration of the mobile station for the MMS is required. A plurality of components of the cellular wireless communication network are provisioned for configuring the mobile station, the plurality of components of the cellular wireless communication network including an Over-The-Air-Function (OTAF). The mobile station is then located, e.g., serving MSC, BSC, and base station are determined. Then, a wireless communication link with the mobile station via a servicing base station is established. Communications between the OTAF and the mobile station are then established via a combination of a wired path of the cellular wireless communication network and the wireless communication link. The OTAF then communicates with the mobile station to program at least one MMS Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) within the mobile station.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for reactivating a plurality of dormant packet data services instances. A mobile station user desires to activate at least one dormant packet data service instance. A service negotiation is initiated between the mobile station data and the wireless support network supporting the mobile station; which includes sending from the mobile station to identify all of the dormant service instances desired to be activated.
