Abstract:
A cellular network protocol which minimizes the required data flow between the cellular infrastructure and each mobile handset supporting a GPS based positioning capability is taught. Four specific innovations are introduced which together minimize the number of bits required to be transferred to each handset: a method for reducing or removing the requirement for GPS ephemeris updates to each mobile; a method for compression of the differential correction broadcast message; a method for controlling the rate at which the network updates each handset's ephemeris based on an ephemeris age limit; and, finally, a method which each mobile can use to determine when an ephemeris update is needed, based on an accuracy prediction and a threshold which is unique to each mobile.
Abstract:
GPS assistance message and data issue identifiers for transmission to GPS enabled mobile stations in cellular communications networks and methods therefore. The GPS data issue identifiers indicate whether GPS data, for example corresponding ephemeris and almanac data, stored at the mobile station requires updating. In the exemplary 3rd generation (W-CDMA/UMTS) architecture, the GPS assistance message is a System Information Block (SIB), and the GPS ephemeris data identifier and corresponding satellite identifier is encoded in a value tag included in a Master Information Block (MIB).

Abstract:
An error message, produced by differential correction data to identify off-nominal errors, is transmitted to a mobile handset when differential correction data are determined corresponding to the mobile handset's location. A differential correction message, generated from the differential correction data, is transmitted to the mobile handset. The differential correction data is derived based on a differential global positioning system. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) an assisted satellite positioning system integrity maintaining method; (b) a mobile radio handset location determining method; (c) and a satellite positioning system enabled mobile radio handset.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of filtering packet data for an anonymous user device in a packet data network communication system (Fig.3) includes a first step of initiating a call from an anonymous user device on a home network (30). A next step includes assigning an interim identity and interim IP address to the user device (36). A next step includes determining a level of service access of the data packets from the user device (34). A next step includes mapping the level of service access of the user device to the IP address. A next step includes defining permissible routing identities per the level of service access (40). A next step includes routing the data packets of the call along with the associated IP address to only those location addresses from the defining step (42).
Abstract:
A wireless mobile terminal (10) and method for utilizing digital broadcast content records (204) selected digital broadcast content as received, for example, by a digital broadcast receiver (16) and provides editing of the selected digital broadcast content based on digital rights management data to generate customized clips of information. The selected digital broadcast content is edited (206) to produce mobile terminal edited digital broadcast content that may be, for example, distributed (208) by the mobile terminal to a plurality of peer devices. A broadcast content editor (24) allows for the editing of clips of content wherein the edited clips are then stored in memory as recorded clips for distribution by the mobile terminal. In another embodiment, a network element is remotely controlled by the mobile terminal to effect editing through the mobile terminal at the network element.
Abstract:
A method in a wireless communications network including receiving (310) a network connection request from a subscriber device having an invalid subscriber identity, connecting (340) the subscriber device, from which the network connection request was received, to the wireless communications network for limited purposes only upon determining (320) that the subscriber device has in invalid subscriber identity in the absence of a limited network connection indicator in the network connection request. In some embodiments, a limited attach message indicates that the attach request is for limited purposes.
Abstract:
"mensagens de assistência de gps e identificadores de emissão de dados em redes celulares de comunicações e métodos para os mesmos". mensagem de assistência de gps e identificadores de emissão de dados para transmissão para estações móveis habilitadas por gps (104) em redes celulares de comunicações (100) e métodos para os mesmos. os identificadores de emissão de dados de gps indicam se os dados de gps, por exemplo dados de efemérides e de calendário correspondentes, armazenados na estação móvel, necessitam atualização. na arquitetura de 3 geração exemplificativa (w-cdma/umts), a mensagem de assistência de gps é um bloco de informações sobre sistema (sib) e o identificador de dados de efemérides de gps e correspondente identificador de satélite é codificado em uma etiqueta de valores incluída em um bloco principal de informações (mib).
Abstract:
Original multimedia content is created within and communicated by a wireless communication device ( 10 ) that includes a transmitter ( 30 ), a content memory ( 90 ) storing a plurality of content files ( 100 ), and a user interface ( 60 ). Emergency content is stored within the content memory ( 90 ) and at least some of the emergency content is selected from the content memory ( 90 ). An original multimedia content file ( 140 ) is created including the selected emergency content. A message including the original multimedia content ( 140 ) is then transmitted by the transmitter ( 30 ) via a wireless communication system ( 75 ) either in response to an emergency user input to the user interface ( 60 ) or automatically in response to an emergency event.
