Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an apparatus comprising an interface, and processing logic coupled with the interface. The processing logic receives via the interface a list of location area codes detected by an access point associated with a site group to be provisioned with a location area code (LAC). The processing logic removes from a predefined list of location area codes the location area codes detected by the access point. The processing logic selects a LAC from the predefined list for the site group after removing the location area codes detected by the access point. The processing logic provisions the access point with the selected LAC via the interface.
Abstract:
A distributed antenna system and related methods are provided to reduce interference among wireless mobile devices in a distributed antenna system. A combiner is provided that is configured to be coupled to a plurality of remote transceiver stations deployed in a coverage area and which wirelessly transmit downlink signals to and receive uplink signals from wireless mobile devices. A plurality of input streams that carry uplink signals transmitted by wireless mobile devices are received on individually assigned signal paths from each of the remote transceiver stations. At least one parameter of an input stream received from the one or more of the remote transceiver stations is monitored. A mapping function is determined based on the monitoring. The plurality of input streams are combined based on the mapping function to produce the two or more output streams and the two or more output streams are sent to corresponding receivers in a base station.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing call mobility for a dual-mode phone between a cellular network and a home wireless network for a dual-mode phone having a cellular identity and a home identity, wherein the home identity is active when the dual-mode phone is in communication with the home wireless network. The system comprises a residential gateway to connect the home wireless network to a public network, and a VoIP service provider in communication with a mobile switching center on the cellular network and the public network. After placing or receiving a call, the dual-mode phone sends a signal to the residential gateway to initiate the movement of the call between the cellular network and the home wireless network while the call is ongoing.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing radio access point infrastructure such as picocells. A user equipment registration request is received at a node that manages a plurality of radio access points and enables connectivity with macro mobile communication services supplied by a service provide. In response to the user equipment request, a user equipment policy request is generated and sent to a policy database. A user equipment policy associated with the user equipment is received from the policy database, and thereafter user equipment traffic is treated in accordance with the user equipment policy.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing access class based picocell policy enforcement includes determining whether user equipment registered with a radio access point is known to an enterprise other than a macro telecommunications service provider and eligible for differentiated services, recovering an internet protocol (IP) address associated with communication traffic from the user equipment, confirming that the IP address associated with communication traffic from the user equipment is within a predetermined range, determining whether the IP address associated with communication traffic from the user equipment uniquely identifies an enterprise context, as opposed to a macro telecommunications service context, and when the IP address associated with communication traffic from the user equipment uniquely identifies an enterprise context, causing IP packets received from the Internet to be routed to an enterprise controller that services the user equipment via the radio access point.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for a base station to transmit and receive wireless signals via a plurality of remote transceiver stations deployed in a coverage area. The remote transceiver stations are coupled to the base station in order to communicate with wireless mobile devices. A transmission time delay is determined for a message to be transmitted from corresponding remote transceiver stations to a wireless mobile device. Transmission of the message to be wirelessly transmitted from the two or more remote transceiver stations is delayed by a corresponding transmission time delay. The delayed transmissions appear as a resolvable multipath transmission to receivers in the wireless mobile user devices. Techniques are also provided for delaying the processing of uplink transmissions at the base station receiver. Delays associated with downlink or uplink transmissions may also be programmed into individual remote transceiver stations.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided to allow more than a fixed number of radio access point devices to be deployed within a macro cell. At a controller apparatus, a registration request is received from a radio access point device configured to operate in a wireless network to serve one or more wireless client devices in the wireless network in respective relatively small coverage areas. The registration request comprises a macro cell identifier associated with a macro cell base station configured to operate in the wireless network to serve one or more wireless client devices in a relatively large coverage area, a radio access point cell identifier associated with the radio access point device, and a particular primary scrambling code selected for use by the radio access point device. When the particular primary scrambling code is not available for use, methods are provided to allocate it in a shared manner but without degrading handover service.

Abstract:
A method and a system for enhancing user experience by reducing the handover delay of media and more specifically for providing more seamless transfers of media experiences across devices. The method comprises steps of identifying (205) a trigger condition for the pre-handover procedure from a first device and preparing (210) a media application enabled to render the media experience in a dormant mode in a second device, if the trigger condition is met.
Abstract:
A method and a system for conducting a call between a mobile station and a callee over a first wireless network and a second wireless network are provided. A call is initiated through an anchor call server when a first wireless network services the mobile station. The call comprises a first call leg between the anchor call server and the mobile station through the first wireless network, and a second call leg between the anchor call server and the callee. The mobile station detects the presence of a second wireless network when it moves into a service area of the second wireless network. A third call leg is now established between the anchor call server and the mobile station through the second wireless network. Once the third call leg is established, the first call leg is disconnected.
