An apparatus for providing connectivity is provided that includes a mobility server operable to coordinate a communication session between a first and a second end-user device. The first end-user device is associated with a first call leg and the second end-user device is associated with a second call leg. A handoff is executed in transferring the communication session from the first end-user device to the second end-user device. In more particular embodiments, the mobility server is operable to receive signal strength information from the first end-user device and to execute the handoff based on the signal strength information. In addition, the handoff is executed based on an end-user preference that is provided in a subscription that is accessed by the mobility server.

An apparatus for signaling information in a network environment is provided that includes an access gateway operable to establish one or more packet data protocol (PDP) links on behalf of an end user. The access gateway is operable to communicate a message associated with a change in quality of service, locale, or policy enforcement relating to a selected one of the PDP links to a client services packet gateway (CSPG). The CSPG responds to the message by providing an accounting command for the selected PDP link such that synchronization is achieved between accounting information and a state associated with the selected PDP link.

In a satellite communications system, where a user terminal 34 may wish to page more than one satellite 10 or more than one spot beam 30, and where the definition of a timeslot 38 for a paging channel 48 occurs a predetermined period after the sending of a broadcast burst 42, the possibility of sustained temporal collision between paging channels 48 between adjacent satellites 10 or adjacent spot beams 30 is avoided by periodically, progressively, and cyclically, moving the predetermined period.

Systems and methods are provided for supporting multiple access point names for trusted wireless local area network (LAN.) In one method, the method includes receiving a packet at a mobile access gateway from a UE operating in a trusted wireless LAN, determining at the mobile access gateway an access point name (APN) associated with the received packet, and analyzing a binding update list (BUL) table to identify an IP address of the UE used by the determined APN. The method further includes modifying a source IP address of the received packet to the IP address of the UE used by the determined APN, and transmitting the packet to a home network associated with the APN.

In one example embodiment, an apparatus includes a policy repository for storing a policy for application interaction. The policy defines, for a subscriber, a priority associated with a set of specific application identifiers. The priority further defines establishment priority and retention priority for an application identified by a selected application identifier. Another example embodiment includes an apparatus including a processor operable to evaluate a policy for application interaction. The policy defines, for a subscriber, a priority associated with a set of specific application identifiers. The priority further defines establishment priority and retention priority for an application identified by a selected application identifier. The processor is further operable to execute a decision for the subscriber based on the evaluation of the policy.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a message associated with a device in a first domain. An identifier is determined for the device. The message is then sent to a load balancer where the message includes the identifier. The load balancer is then configured to send the message to a network device in a plurality of network devices. The network device is configured to process messages from the device. A second message may be received at the load balancer from a second domain. The second message may include the identifier for the device. The load balancer may then send the second message to the selected network device such that the first message and the second message are processed by the same network device.

Techniques are provided for performing web authentication of mobile wireless devices that roam from a wireless wide area network to a wireless local area network. A redirect rule is invoked when a request is received from the mobile wireless device for world wide web access in order to obtain authentication for the mobile wireless device before permitting world wide web access. When a world wide web access request is received from the mobile wireless device, it is redirected to an authentication portal to allow a user of the mobile wireless device to enter user credentials to allow for world wide web access using the IP address.

A system for facilitating persistent communications between entities in a network. In a specific embodiment, the system is adapted to facilitate fast reauthentication of a client performed by a server, such as an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, that is coupled to the client via a load balancer. The system includes a first message to be exchanged between the server and the client, wherein the first message includes a field identifying the server and/or the client. A matching module communicates with or is otherwise incorporated within the load balancer. The matching module includes one or more routines for employing the field to selectively route the first message to the client and/or server. In a more specific embodiment, the server a fast reauthentication module adapted to append the field in the message. The field includes sub-realm information identifying the server.

An example method includes receiving data from a femto access point; evaluating resources being used by a macro network in which the femto access point resides; determining whether the femto access point is operating in a constrained bandwidth mode; and reserving particular resources for the femto access point to use for its communications, where the particular resource is allocated from available resources within the macro network. In a more particular embodiment, where those resources refer to spectrum resources, the method includes allocating spectrum resources between femto and macrocellular systems. In other embodiments, the method includes identifying a total throughput associated with the femto access point and one or more macro network cells, where a change in reserving particular frequencies is executed based on determining the total throughput being higher than a current throughput. The data from the femto access point can include path loss data and geolocation data.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes identifying a bandwidth parameter associated with a network link. The method includes evaluating a bandwidth request associated with user equipment, the bandwidth request is associated with a session, which involves the user equipment and which implicates the network link. The bandwidth request can be modified based on the bandwidth parameter that was identified. In more detailed embodiments, one or more header extensions in one or more packets are evaluated in order to assist in identifying the bandwidth parameter. The one or more header extensions can include a selected one of packet sequence numbers, an average packet transmission rate, an average packet receiving rate, and a packet reception error rate. In other examples, modifying the bandwidth request can include downgrading the bandwidth request to lower a bit rate based on the bandwidth parameter identified for the network link.
