Abstract:
In one illustrative example of the present disclosure, a mobile communication device has one or more processors and a wireless transceiver adapted to provide communications through a wireless communication network. The one or more processors are operative to produce a mobile device indication message which indicates whether the mobile device supports buffering of Push-To-Talk (PTT) communications from the mobile device. This message is transmitted by the wireless transceiver to a PTT service entity through the wireless network. The one or more processors may be further operative to receive, from the PTT service entity through the wireless network, a network indication message which instructs the mobile device whether to use buffering for the PTT communications from the mobile device (assuming a buffer memory for PTT buffering is available in the mobile device). The mobile device may use the buffer memory for the buffering of the PTT communication based on the network indication message from the PTT service entity.
Abstract:
A wireless user device maintains wireless access via a public land mobile network and, while maintaining such wireless access, participates with one or more other devices in an instant communication session delivered via a carrier instant communications processing element of the public land mobile network. The session communications from the wireless user device are routed through a processing element of a private communication network for an assignment of a generic identifier to the session communications in place of a user identifier of the wireless user device, and then routed back to the public land mobile network to the carrier instant communications processing element for delivery to the one or more other devices in the instant communication session.
Abstract:
Techniques involving a wireless user device adapted to operate in a carrier network, and associated with a private organization having a private communication network which is not part of the carrier network, are described. The wireless user device gains wireless access via the carrier network and communicates, via the carrier network, with other wireless user devices in a push-to-talk (PTT) voice communication session. The PTT voice communication session is delivered via a carrier processing element of the carrier network, where voice communications of the PTT voice communication session are routed and processed through a private processing element of the private communication network. The voice communications from the wireless user device are assigned and communicated with a generic identifier of the private organization instead of a user identifier of the wireless user device.
Abstract:
In instant communications over a wire-less network, a user from a private organization sends the request for instant communications communication through a private server controlled by the private organization. The private server sets up a private account with the wireless carrier and the user communicates via the private account.

Abstract:
A method of determining the actual transmission rate in a variable transmission rate communication system is provided, using error detection metrics. The received symbols are decoded assuming each possible rate, and then re-encoded to determine a symbol error rate for each possible rate. The possible transmission rates are then narrowed down using a simple measure of the likelihood of error, such as the CRC status determined for each rate. The symbol error rates are compared to either make a confident decision as to the actual transmission rate or to erase the frame. Rather than compare the values of the symbol error rates with predetermined thresholds, the method compares the differences between the symbol error rates for each possible rate with predetermined thresholds. This results in fewer erasures, even if the symbol error rates are low due to high signal to noise ratios.

Abstract:
It has now been found that in some transmitter implementations which transmit multiple code channels, for example CDMA transmitters, the observed power for each code channel at the output relative to the other code channels is dependent upon the total transmit power due to non-linearities in the transmitter. Methods and apparatus are provided which use pre-set digital gains or digital gain adjustments to compensate for the non-linearities as a function of total transmit power such that at the output, the desired relative powers are observed.
