Described herein are mechanisms and methods that facilitate seamless handoff of an access terminal between access points (transceiver modules). A first transceiver module can be providing forward link data services to an access terminal when it requests a handoff to a second transceiver module. In response, the first transceiver module can provide data that is desirably transmitted to the access terminal to the second transceiver module. A network module can inform a plurality of transceiver modules that the second transceiver module is servicing the access terminal, and can further provide data to the second transceiver module for transmittal to the access terminal.

Methods and apparatus for maintaining program-guide records comprises the steps of requesting a program-guide index, receiving the program-guide index, and determining whether there exists any new program-guide record based on the received program-guide index. The method further comprises requesting a new program-guide record and receiving the program-guide record. In one aspect, a method for maintaining program-guide records comprises the steps of receiving a program-guide update indication, and determining any new program-guide record based on the received program-guide update indication. The method further comprises requesting an updated program-guide record, receiving the updated program-guide record, and updating the program-guide records.

Methods and apparatus for subscribing to multimedia delivery services in a data network. A method is provided for subscribing to receive a subscription package in a data network. The method includes receiving resource requirements associated with the subscription package, and determining whether or not selected resources are available to meet the resource requirements associated with the subscription package. The method also includes excluding a first portion of services associated with the subscription package, if it is determined that the selected resources fail to meet the resource requirements associated with the subscription package, and subscribing to receive a second portion of services associated with the subscription package, wherein resource requirements of the second portion of services are met by the selected resources.

Computer data is transferred between a CDMA radio access network and a GSM core infrastructure using a switch that acts on the CDMA side as a packet data serving node (PDSN) element and on the GSM side as a serving GPRS service node (SGSN) element. Switching message sequences and protocol stacks are disclosed.

A wireless communications device is configurable to communicate with either one of two networks over a wireless medium, each of the two networks having a different air interface protocol. Additionally, the wireless device includes stored provisioning information for a set of networks of a first type and can map this first provisioning information into a second format for use with networks of a second type. The device also includes a non-volatile memory for storing default provisioning information so that some information remains available regardless of what is erased from the memory. The default provisioning information is enough to establish a connection over one of the available networks and allow reconstruction of a provisioning list.

Systems and methods are provided for processing wireless signal components for a mobile wireless access broadband service. This can include processes for defining a protocol that controls whether to invoke a tune away component to determine an alternative wireless communications path. This can include defining one or more tune away parameters for the tune away component. The process can then automatically select the alternative wireless communications path based in part on the tune away procedure and at least one of the tune away parameters.

Embodiments are described in connection with seamless inter-frequency handoff in a wireless network. Provided is a method that includes reporting to an access network sector pilot strength information for at least one frequency member in a message specified in an active set management protocol. Information regarding at least another frequency member is received in a message specified in the active set management protocol. The method further includes ascertaining whether to handoff from one frequency member to another frequency member and can further include seamlessly handing off to the other frequency member.

A resource assignment method during a tune-away procedure comprises determining a first instance in time that a tune-away will initiate with respect to an access terminal, determining a second instance in time that corresponds to a latest frame boundary associated with the access terminal prior to the instance in time that the tune-away initiates, and determining resource assignment parameters associated with the access terminal and implementing the resource assignment parameters at the second instance in time. The method can further comprise ceasing communications to the access terminal over a forward link at the second instance in time and discontinuing monitoring reverse link control channels associated with the access terminal at the second instance in time.

Systems and methods are described that mitigating coverage gaps near region boundaries using a plurality of multi-sector broadcast (MSBC) paging channels in wireless networking environments. One or more MSBC paging channels can be assigned unique time slots, such that although the channels can be identical, they are disjointed in time. Accordingly, such channels and/or dynamically generated paging zones associated therewith can be overlapped in areas where wireless device density is high and requires substantial paging capacity. Additionally, a single paging channel can be employed in multiple instances in a paging region without overlap to mitigate inter-channel interference.

Systems and methods are provided for processing wireless signal components for a mobile wireless access broadband service. This can include processes for measuring signal strength of an alternative frequency by tuning away from an existing frequency associated with an existing communications path. Such processes allow determining if the alternative frequency supports a subsequent communications path in a mobile broadband wireless application. Upon the determination, the process can automatically select the subsequent communications path based in part on the measured signal strength.
