Abstract:
A system and method of bi-directional and unidirectional communications is provided. The system (610) includes a first host (602) capable of transmitting multiplexed data at a first data transfer rate. A second host (604) is provided that is capable of receiving multiplexed data at a second data transfer rate. The system (610) further includes a data throttle (608) that limits the first data transfer rate to a throttle value that is less than or equal to the lesser one of the first data transfer rate and the second data transfer rate. The system is operable on a UDP transport layer and an IP network layer and may be implemented by API calls to a sockets layer.
Abstract:
A system is provided that includes a network entity, such as a packet data switching node (PDSN), and a terminal capable of establishing a data-link connection with the network entity, such as after setting up a physical-layer connection with the network entity. After the data-link connection is established, the network entity and the terminal can configure a network-layer protocol such that data formatted in accordance with the network-layer protocol can thereafter be sent between the terminal and the network entity over the data-link connection. Then, during configuration of the network-layer protocol, the terminal can discover at least one service available to the terminal by receiving, from the network entity, a listing of the at least one available service. The listing of each available service includes an address of a provider of the available service and a port number and/or pathname for accessing the service at the provider.
Abstract:
A method is provided for transmitting data, wherein control packets are given priority with respect to application data packets. In general, this is accomplished by establishing a separate, distinct link flow over which only control packets (e.g., TCP control packets) will be transmitted. A higher priority is associated with this link flow. In addition, the reliability of control packets sent over the dedicated link flow can be improved upon by increasing the number of retransmissions associated with the control packets and/or decreasing the window of time before the retransmissions are sent. A system, mobile terminal, network entity, and computer program product for implementing the method are also provided.

Abstract:
Provided are improved systems, methods, and devices for IP-based location service (LCS). Using one or more IP-based protocols for LCS signaling efficiently re-uses existing, implemented, and reliable protocols and increases the robustness of the LCS signaling. Particular implementations of LCS messaging call flows make efficient use of wireless bandwidths and support IP-based LCS by organizing communications and signaling to limit required communications so that IP-based protocols may be used, rather than relying upon SS7 signaling and LCS-specific communication protocols.
Abstract:
AbstractA method of limiting the media description negotiation in Mobile IP networks, comprising the steps of: filtering, by a proxy call state control means (P-CSCF), a media description list of a user equipment (UE; UE-O, UE-T) based on policy constraints of networks which are involved in a communication connection of said user equipment (UE; UE-O, UE-T); and establishing a communication connection of said user equipment (UE; UE-O, UE-T), wherein a media description list for said communication connection is negotiated by said proxy call state control means (P-CSCF).(Fig. 1)
