Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating initiation of communication actions in accordance with cable attributes. In one embodiment, cable attributes are referenced that indicate utilization of a cable device at a time a communication event is directed to a user device. The user device and the cable device may be associated with the same user. Communication actions to apply in accordance with the communication event are determined based on at least one of the cable attributes. Thereafter, the communication actions are initiated, for example, such that a user is provided with an indication of the communication event visually via the cable device and/or audibly via the user device, depending on the particular cable attributes.
Abstract:
A Wireless Communication Device (WCD) and method for hand-up from a less-capable communication protocol of a wireless access node to a more-capable communication protocol of the wireless access node are provided. The WCD in one example embodiment includes a communication transceiver configured to exchange wireless communications and receive a control signal from the wireless access node, with the control signal including a hand-up field, and a processing system coupled to the communication transceiver and configured to process the hand-up field to determine if the WCD can hand-up from the less-capable communication protocol to the more-capable communication protocol, set a hand-up state according to the hand-up field, and scan for the availability of the more-capable communication protocol if the more-capable communication protocol is indicated by the hand-up state.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for network handovers are provided. An eNodeB of a fourth generation mobile telecommunications network identifies available channels of a third generation mobile telecommunications network in which to handover user devices. Once an available channel is identified, the user device may be handed off to the available channel without unnecessary latency.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and software for controlling roaming of wireless communication devices onto wireless communication networks are provided herein. In one example, method of operating a wireless communication network is provided. The method includes, during a communication session initiation process between the wireless communication device and the roaming wireless communication network, receiving a request for policy information for the wireless communication device. Responsive to the request for the policy information, the method includes identifying a network address of a roaming gateway serving the wireless communication device and a paging tracking area identifier for the wireless communication device in the roaming wireless communication network. The method includes processing the network address and the paging tracking area identifier to determine a roaming authorization status for the communication session, and transferring the roaming authorization status for delivery to the roaming wireless communication system.
Abstract:
Ways of allocating an identifier to a mobile device are disclosed. One method includes receiving a request that requests an address be assigned to the mobile device, considering factors in connection with determining a mobile IP (MIP) address to be assigned to the mobile device, determining the MIP address based on the factors, and conveying the MIP address to the mobile device.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods to provide data session continuity between wireless networks. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving a request to create a data session for a wireless communication device exchanging communications with a wireless local area network via a wireless access point. The method further provides determining an access point identifier for the wireless access point and selecting a control system for a cellular communication network of a plurality of cellular communication networks based on the access point identifier. The method further provides anchoring the data session to the control system.
