摘要:
A method (800, 900) and apparatus (1001) for controlling a session between communication units (141-146) sharing a group Internet Protocol (IP) multicast address. The method includes determining communication units from which a response to a session initiation protocol (SIP) control message is not required and preparing the control message which is sent to the communication units using the group address with information used to control from which of the of communication units the response is required. The SIP control message is sent to a second communication unit using a unicast address indicating that the response is required.

A wireless communication unit (200) and corresponding method (500) selectively routes calls originated in one wireless communication network (105) through another wireless communication network (104, 108, 110). The communication unit comprises a transceiver (203) suitable to support an air interface with a first wireless communication network and with a second wireless communication network; a user interface (211) operable to initiate a call to a number of a target unit; and a controller (209), coupled to the transceiver and the user interface, and operable, responsive to the call initiation and when the wireless communication unit is operating in the second wireless communication network, to selectively hairpin the call through the first communication network.
摘要:
A dual-band wireless subscriber unit (SU) (112) having an enterprise address of E1 and a cellular address of C1, corresponding method (200), software program (310–320), and WLAN (104) determines (202) that the SU is about to leave a wireless local area network (WLAN) (104). In response, when the SU is involved in a call on E1, the SU sends (212, 208) to the WLAN a SIP message, for example a Refer message with a “Refer To” field of C1 if an ongoing call or a SIP Redirect message with a contact address of C1 if a new call is attempting to begin on E1. In response to receiving either message, the WLAN seamlessly transfers (210, 214) the call to C1.
摘要:
A method (200) of providing communication services, which can include receiving at least one network context (126) associated with a first communications network (114) with which a subscriber unit (102) has become affiliated, and identifying at least one communication policy (140) correlating to the network context. The method also can include communicating to the subscriber unit the identified communication policy. The invention also relates to a method (300) of enabling communication services, which can include identifying at least one network context associated with a first communications network with which a subscriber unit has become affiliated. The method further can include receiving from a server (128) at least one communication policy identified in response to the identification of the network context, the communication policy correlating to the communicated network context.
摘要:
An access point (102) conveys (202) to communication units (104) of a plurality of multicast groups, a first indication that the access point supports a method for sending a multicast message. The access point receives (204) a multicast message directed to a receiving one of the plurality of multicast groups, and determines (206) that the communication units belonging to the receiving one of the plurality of multicast groups also support the method. The access point signals (208) a second indication to selectively awaken the communication units belonging to the receiving one of the plurality of multicast groups, and transmits (210) the multicast message to the receiving one of the plurality of multicast groups in a manner that allows (212) at least one communication unit not belonging to the receiving one of the plurality of multicast groups to remain asleep during the transmitting.
摘要:
A wireless communication unit (101) is operable to reformat dialed numbers according to dialing plans for a plurality of communication networks (103, 107, 109), where the unit comprises a transceiver (201) for communicating with any of the plurality of communication networks; a user interface (211) operable to provide a number corresponding to a target unit (102, 102′) to be called; and a controller (209) implementing a corresponding method to provide a reformatted number (FIG. 3) corresponding to the number and according to a preference that is specific to the wireless communication unit, where the reformatted number is compatible with a dialing plan for a communication network that will be used to place a call to the target unit.
摘要:
When using a first wireless communication system to facilitate at least a first wireless communication and in response to detecting at least one handover condition, a mobile station can automatically use a second wireless communication system to establish a communication link to a private branch exchange that is associated with the first wireless communication system and automatically transmit a pre-established message to the private branch exchange to trigger a handover of the first wireless communication from the first wireless communication system to the second wireless communication system.
摘要:
A wireless communication unit (101, 200), network switch (112, 300) and corresponding methods facilitate routing and handover or handin of calls from a second network (105) to a first network (103) when the unit has been operating in second network and is being handed in to the first network. The communication unit comprises a transceiver (203) and a controller (209) arranged to operate with the transceiver to determine (503) that the wireless communication unit is within a coverage area of the first network; to exchange messages (505, 507) corresponding to call appearance information with the switch in the first network; to decide whether a call within the second network can be handed in to the first network based on the exchange of the messages (507); and to initiate (519, 619) a handin of the call to the first network only when the decision is affirmative.
摘要:
A method, information processing system, and wireless communication network determine a domain name associated with at least one device for providing services to the at least one device in a network. A service request (604) that includes a unique identifier associated with at least one device (102) is received. A query of a remote information processing system (218) is issued for retrieving a plurality of identifier ranges (610). Each of the identifier ranges is associated with one of a plurality of domain names. An identifier range comprising at least the unique identifier associated with the at least one device (102) is identified in the plurality of identifier ranges (614). A domain name associated with the identified identifier range is determined (616). The domain name that has been determined is associated with the at least one device (102).
