Abstract:
An apparatus, method and system are disclosed for providing a default mode for authentication failures in a mobile telecommunication network. The system includes an authentication center (typically co-located within a home locati on register), an adjunct network entity, and an originating mobile switching center. The home location register generally stores information pertaining to a mobile unit, such as a cellular or PCS mobile telephone. The adjunct network entity contains one or more application nodes, such as an announcement application node for providing an announcement on a call leg to the mobile unit. When the network has been accessed by a mobile unit through a call leg, the originating mobile switching center is configured to perform an authentication procedure. The originating mobile switching center further is configured, when the authentication procedure has resulted in an authentication failure, to receive a message from the authentication center to deny the mobile unit access to the network, to terminate a communication session with the mobile unit, and to route the call leg to the announcement application node for the provision of an announcemen t on the call leg to the mobile unit. Following such an announcement, the originating switching center is also configured to route the call leg to a customer service center , for example, to reprogram the mobile unit.
Abstract:
Una modalidad de la presente invencion es un método para controlar ek numero de eléfonos moviles que transmiten reconocimientos a mensajes cortos transmitidos (BMS) sobre una mismo conjunto de canales de acceso aleatorio a un mismotiempo. En esta modalidad, las transmisiones de los reconocimientos BMS, se controlan por el sistema de comunicacion inalámbrico utilizando restricciones del canal de acceso aleatorio y técnicas de acceso aleatorio. De manera especifica, las restricciones del canal de acceso aleatorio reducen las colisiones entre los teléfonos moviles que reconocen y los telefonos moviles que procesan la llamada, asignando uno o más canales de acceso aleatorio especificos, sobre los cuales pueden transmitirse un reconocimiento BMS, y las técnicas de acceso aleatorio reducen las colisiones entre los teléfonos moviles que reconocen, distribuyendo las transmisiones de los reconocimientos BMS sobre un periodo de tiempo.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention is a method for controlling the number o f mobile-telephones transmitting acknowledgments to broadcast short messages (BSM) over a same set of random access channels at a same time. In this embodiment, the transmissions of BSM acknowledgments is controlled by the wireless communication system using random access channel r estrictions and random access techniques. Specifically, the random access channel restrictions reduce c ollisions among acknowledging mobile-telephones and call processing mobile-telephones by allocat ing one or more specific random access channels over which a BSM acknowledgment can be transmitt ed, and the random access techniques reduce collisions among acknowledging mobile-telephones by dis tributing transmissions of the BSM acknowledgments over a period of time.
Abstract:
Communication networks and methods are disclosed that provide an information service that is tailored (or "auto-focused") to individual customers or subsets of customers based on the location of those customers. The information service is implemented in one embodiment within a communication network (e.g., IMS network or traditional wireless network) having a presence/location server that maintains presence/location information associated with various customers served by the communication network.
