    摘要: A method and system for enabling MMS message delivery to a recipient device. An MMSC receives and stores MMS message content to be delivered to the recipient device, and the MMSC responsively sends to the recipient device an MMS-notification message carrying an address of the MMS message content stored at the MMSC and then receives a reply indicating that the recipient device received the MMS-notification message. The MMSC then detects that, after the MMSC received the reply, (i) at least a predefined threshold amount of time has passed and (ii) the MMSC has not yet received from the recipient device a request to download the MMS message content. And responsive to at least the detecting, the MMSC then sends to the recipient device a data-service-trigger message that triggers turning on data service of the recipient device, thus enabling MMS-message delivery to the recipient device.

    摘要: Methods and systems for modifying a preferred roaming list (PRL) of a subscriber user equipment (UE) are provided. In a wireless communication system, a first wireless service provider is associated with a first radio access network (RAN) and maintains a subscriber account associated with a given UE. When the first RAN receives a registration request from the UE, the first RAN responsively (i) attempts to authenticate the UE, and (ii) upon a failure to authenticate the UE, the first RAN updates the PRL to then list a second RAN associated with a second wireless service provider as the highest priority network in the PRL.

    摘要: A method and corresponding system for managing how long a UE will wait before attempting to be served by a RAN, such as before the UE searches for coverage of the RAN and determines whether the RAN supports providing a particular service. The method may apply in a scenario where the RAN is normally configured to provide the particular service but from time to time may lack support for providing that service. As disclosed, a network entity may evaluate past instances of the RAN lacking support for providing the service, and may thereby estimate a typical (e.g., average) duration for such lack of support. Based on that estimate, the network entity may then provide the UE with an indication of how long the UE should wait before the UE attempts to be served by the RAN, and the UE may responsively wait for that time period.

    摘要: Methods and a corresponding system for conserving inter-MSC trunk capacity when multiple serving systems provide coverage at a particular geographic area. A first determination is made that when a first mobile station and a second mobile station are both at the particular geographic area, the first mobile station and the second mobile station engage in communications with each other. A second determination is made that the first mobile station and the second mobile station are both at the particular geographic area. And responsive to making at least the first and second determinations, the first mobile station is provisioned with preferred roaming list data that causes the first mobile station to be served by a given one of the multiple serving systems that also serves the second mobile station.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and systems for using mobile-station-specific gateway-burden data for assigning mobile stations to data-access gateways. One embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by at least one network entity in a communication system that includes a radio access network (RAN) for providing wireless service to mobile stations and that further includes multiple data-access gateways. The method includes maintaining mobile-station-specific gateway-burden data that associates each of multiple mobile stations with one or more indicia of the extent to which those mobile stations have respectively consumed one or more resources of one or more of the data-access gateways. The method further includes using the mobile-station-specific gateway-burden data to assign mobile stations among the various data-access gateways such that mobile stations indicated by the mobile-station-specific gateway-burden data as having placed similar burdens on one or more of the gateways are grouped together by assignment to the same respective gateways.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and system to help manage wireless service in a scenario where a UE is served by a first RAN and begins being served by a second RAN. In accordance with the disclosure, a determination may then be made of whether the UE will likely engage in at least a threshold extent of scanning for coverage of the first RAN while the UE is being served by the second RAN. If the determination is affirmative, the UE may then be caused to not scan for coverage of the first RAN while the UE is being served by the second RAN. Whereas, if the determination is negative, the UE may be allowed to scan for coverage of the first RAN while the UE is being served by the second RAN.

    摘要: A wireless communication device (WCD) may receive a communication from an initiating party. The communication may be associated with a communication application, and may include a communication-application identifier that identifies the initiating party. The WCD may check whether a contacts list for the WCD contains user name data associated in the contacts list with the communication-application identifier. Upon determining that the contacts list does not contain such user name data, the WCD may querying a network server (NS) to request user name data associated with the communication-application identifier, receive from the NS a reply containing particular name data associated with the communication-application identifier along with additional communication-application user identifiers, each of which is also associated with the particular name data. The WCD may update the contacts list such that the particular name data is associated with the communication-application identifier along with the received additional communication-application identifiers.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for enforcing prepayment based on lack of support of authentication functionality by a particular wireless serving system. In one embodiment, at least one home-core-network entity associated with a home core network of a mobile station receives from a particular wireless serving system a registration request associated with the mobile station. Responsive to receiving the registration request, the at least one home-core-network entity makes a determination as to whether the particular wireless serving system supports authentication functionality. Responsive to the determination being that the particular wireless serving system does not support authentication functionality, the at least one home-core-network entity sends to the particular wireless serving system a registration response that grants the request subject to at least one prepayment requirement.

    摘要: A method and system for selecting a coverage area in which a given mobile station should operate. The system will receive user ratings of call quality per coverage area. The system will then use the received user ratings as a basis to select a coverage area in which the given mobile station should operate. The system will then cause the given mobile station to operate in the selected coverage area. By using these user ratings as a basis to select a coverage area in which the given mobile station should operate, the system can help improve call quality overall for users, thus increasing user satisfaction with wireless performance.
