Abstract:
In the present technique of wireless data synchronization, a data synchronization request to wirelessly synchronize data related to the request with a server is intercepted (304). Synchronization information of the data synchronization request to the server is assessed (306) to determine (308) whether the synchronization information corresponds in at least a predetermined way to a predefined condition. The data related to the data synchronization request is synchronized (310) with the server when the synchronization information corresponds in at least the predetermined way to the predefined condition.
Abstract:
A Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) application server (122) in a packet data communication system (100) produces multiple access control parameters that at least partially identify a storage location of MBMS data and that define when a user equipment may access the stored MBMS data. The multiple access control parameters are then distributed to user equipment (UE) (102) subscribed to the MBMS service. When a subscribed UE fails to receive, or erroneously receives, MBMS data associated with the MBMS service, the subscribed UE uses the distributed access control parameters to determine when and where to access the stored MBMS data.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) that includes a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) service provides re-broadcasts of an event to subscribers (102-104) to the MBMS service. An infrastructure (124) included in the communication system and comprising a server (118) coupled to a RAN controller (114) via a support node (116) receives a first set of MBMS data from an MBMS content provider (127) and conveys the first set of MBMS data along with an associated first Session Description to a subscribed mobile station (102-104). The infrastructure then receives a second set of MBMS data from the MBMS content provider, wherein the second set of MBMS data comprises a re-conveyance of the first set of MBMS data, and conveys an MBMS notification along with an associated second Session Description to the mobile station. The mobile station may then determine whether to receive the re-conveyance based on the first and second Session Descriptions.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for routing a call to a dual mode mobile station (102) when the dual mode mobile station is in one of a plurality of domains (104, 106) is described. If the mobile station (102) is compatible with the domain (104, 106) in which the mobile station has coverage, then the call is delivered to the domain (104, 106) in which the mobile station has coverage. If the mobile station is in a first domain (102), is registered in a second domain (104) and there is no coverage in the second domain (106), then the call may fail in the first domain (104). If the mobile station is not in the first domain (104), is registered in the second domain (106) and there is coverage in the second domain (106), then the call is delivered to the second domain (106).
Abstract:
The need for providing user information to content providers to enable them to authenticate user access to certain content, to perform billing, or to otherwise monitor content use is addressed by embodiments of the present invention. A content delivery server (110) sends service announcement information to user equipment (UE) (101) for a content delivery session of a content provider (120). The service announcement information indicates that user information is requested by the content provider for this session. When the UE user requests to activate the session, the UE obtains the requested user information and sends it with an activation request to the content delivery server. The content delivery server is then able to send the obtained user information, with perhaps additional user information, to the content provider when requesting session activation. The content delivery server activates (subscribes, e.g.) after receiving an indication that activation is approved by the content provider.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) provides a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) to a roaming user equipment (UE) (102) by receiving, at a first network (110), a request from the UE to subscribe to an MBMS service and, in response to receiving the request, conveying to the UE a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI) that is uniquely associated with the MBMS service and the first network. When the first network receives information associated with a registration of the UE with a second network (140) and further receives MBMS data associated with the MBMS service, the first network conveys the MBMS data and the TMGI to the UE via the second network. By using a TMGI associated with the first network Ues subscribed to the MBMS service at the second network may ignore notifications sent to the UE subscribed to the MBMS service at the first network.
