    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for using mobile communication systems for the control of the movement of mobile objects. The system comprises a control station which receives from mobile stations location information relating to a current location of the stations, the mobile stations being carried by the mobile objects. The control station detects from the location information received that one of the mobile stations is approaching the current location of another of the mobile stations and issues an alert signal to either or both of the mobile stations to indicate an alert condition related to the detected approach. The processor of the central control may calculate a probability that a collision will occur and issues a warning then the probability reaches a preset threshold and a second more urgent warning when a second higher threshold is past. The warning may be issued based on the distance between the mobile stations. The mobile station may send a time index and speed data to the control station. The mobile objects may be land vehicles eg trains, waterborne eg ships or airborne.

    Abstract: A mobile station 101 is disclosed for use in a radio communications system (100, Fig 1) and includes a means 208,216 for determining a current location of the mobile station, a direction signal receiver 215 for receiving a signal indicating a current direction faced by a user of the mobile station, a transceiver 203 operable to send to another communication terminal (113, Fig 1) radio signals including current location data and to receive from the other terminal selected direction data relating to a selected direction required to be taken by the user from the current location to proceed to a target destination, and a processor 216 for comparing the current direction faced by the user with the selected direction. The mobile station is particularly suited for assisting the movement of a user such as a fire fighter through a smoke filled building.

    Abstract: A data communication system (100), which is capable of supporting multicast data delivery, comprises a router (110) for routeing at least one data packet between two or more networks (116, 118). The router (110) comprises a processor (210) to receive and decode at least one multicast data packet and translate a multicast address of the decoded at least one multicast data packet into one or more unicast addresses. In this manner, the provision of a processor to translate a multicast address of the decoded at least one multicast data packet into one or more unicast addresses allows a simple unicast-capable host to receive and deal with multicast addressed packets in contrast to requiring all hosts being multicast-capable. Furthermore, it allows reuse of legacy equipment (i.e. unicast-only hosts can still be used in a multicast environment).

    Abstract: A communication system (100) comprises a plurality of mobile stations (118, 124) each operable to communicate with other communication stations by a wireless link of a first kind, at least one location indicator (116) operable to detect by a wireless link of a second kind a location of at least one (118) of the mobile stations when the at least one mobile station is within a communication range of the location indicator, at least one proxy location server (110) operably coupled to at least one associated location indicator (116), and a location server (108) operable to communicate with the at least one proxy location server to receive a notification of the location of the at least one mobile station (118) when detected to be within communication range of the associated location indicator (116).

    Abstract: A communication network comprising a first sub-network (101) and a second sub-network (103) each supporting separate multicast domains. A first interface network element (111) comprises a multicast receiver (201) for receiving multicast data packets. A transmit translation processor (203) generates unicast data packets by replacing a multicast address of the multicast data packets by a unicast address. A unicast transmitter (207) forwards the unicast data packets to a second interface network element (113) over a unicast communication link (119). The second interface network element (113) comprises a unicast receiver and a receive translation processor (303) which generates multicast data packets by replacing a unicast address of the unicast data packets by a multicast address. The multicast data packets are then fed to the second sub-network (103). The invention allows multicast communication between different multicast domains and through unicast communication links.
