摘要:
An apparatus, and an associated methodology, for identifying to a circuit-switch-connected mobile station with an indication of packet-service capabilities available to a mobile station. A message generator at the network generates a message that includes an indication of the network-entity capabilities with respect to packet communications. A field of the message identifies the packet-service capabilities. A message is sent by the network and detected by a detector of the mobile station. A report is formed indicative of the value contained in the delivered message, and a user display displays an indication of the detected information.

Methods and apparatus to manage mobile handover are disclosed. An example mobile station includes hardware and software stored on a tangible computer readable medium that, during operation, cause the mobile station to receive from a network controller a response to a network registration request, wherein the response includes an indicator to indicate a type of cell that may be reported by the mobile station during a handover procedure and send a handover message indicating cells permitted by the indicator.

Techniques in a mobile communication device configured to operate using a wireless communication network are described. The mobile device operates to establish an emergency call with a public safety answering point entity, and subsequently monitors to receive an incoming call message which indicates whether the incoming call message is for emergency call back. If data indications in the data fields indicate that the incoming call message is for emergency call back, then the mobile device causes the emergency call back to be answered automatically.

Methods and apparatus for providing time zone information to a mobile station are described. An example method disclosed herein includes accepting at a generic access network controller a registration request from a mobile station, encoding in a generic access network information element a first offset from a first time, and transmitting the generic access network information element to the mobile station.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for use in increasing data throughput to mobile stations in a wireless communication network, where data is communicated between mobile stations and the wireless network in a plurality of data bursts within time slots assigned to the mobile station. One illustrative method includes the acts of receiving, through a wireless transceiver, data in a time slot W; tuning the wireless transceiver, during a first portion of a time slot X which follows the time slot W, for transmission; reading transmit data from a transmit data queue and encoding the transmit data in a data burst in accordance with a data burst format; and causing the encoded transmit data to be transmitted in the data burst during a second portion of the time slot X. The data burst may be formatted in accordance with a predefined data burst format of the wireless network and merely shifted in time, or the data burst may be formatted in accordance with a reduced-size data burst format. When such alternate data burst technique is utilized, extra available time remains to tune the wireless transceiver from receive to transmit mode, or transmit to receive mode. Thus, an additional downlink time slot(s) per data frame may be allocated to the mobile station for increased data throughput, where at least one uplink time slot per data frame is utilized for data transmission.
摘要:
A method performed by an access device of a first network cell in a communications network for enabling user equipment (UE) to obtain a service unavailable through the first network cell includes receiving a request for the UE to access the service, receiving identification of a location area (LA) in which the UE is registered, identifying a second network cell providing the service in the LA in which the UE is registered, and transmitting the identification of the second network cell to the UE.
摘要:
A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor configured to cause the UE to transmit an emergency calls required indicator (ECRI) to a network component responsive to the UE receiving an instruction to place an emergency call; and to receive an emergency calls supported indicator (ECSI) prior to placing an emergency call, wherein a value of the ECSI indicates a type of emergency services supported by a femtocell, where the processor is further configured to cause the UE to transmit the ECRI before receiving the ECSI.

摘要:
A method for granting a mobile station permission to attempt to identify a cell of a first radio access technology (RAT) while being served by a cell of a second RAT. The mobile station receives a list of neighbor cells of the second RAT. The list contains at least one identifying characteristic associated with at least one cell of the first RAT. The mobile station identifies at least one cell of the first RAT associated with the at least one identifying characteristic.
