Abstract:
A roaming emulator provides a tool for emulating system determination for monitoring the operation of a wireless communication device (WCD) during system determination. A signal monitoring program and service selection protocol are stored, and a signal emulation module provides a signal emulation output in accordance with a predetermined set of data. A processing module performs a simulation of a service selection procedure based on the service selection protocol and performed in accordance with the signal monitoring program and the signal emulation output. A result of the service selection is provided by an output module. The emulator can provide emulated system scanning based on geographical or market location, and can emulate scenarios when channels from neighboring systems or markets 'bleed' into the RF environment of the WCD.
Abstract:
A preferred roaming list (PRL) carries system and acquisition records for wireless wide area network (WWAN) systems and wireless local area network (WLAN) systems. New system and acquisition records may be defined for WLAN. The PRL and system and acquisition records may be defined to be backward compatible with TIA-683-C. System and acquisition information for WLAN systems may be stored in the new system and acquisition records, respectively. Information used to perform encryption and/or authentication for WLAN systems may be stored in a separate WLAN authentication profile table. The system record for each WLAN system indicates a acquisition record and a profile record for that WLAN system. A network identifier table may also carry system records and profile records for WLAN systems. The system records carry information used for WLAN system selection and acquisition. The profile records carry information used to perform encryption and/or authentication for WLAN systems.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device selects another service provider system when the MWCD has not changed its geographic position more than a threshold level.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device has one or more predetermined patterns of key operation that are required to perform the function associated with the key. For example, activation of a power key on (114) a wireless communication device may be intentional or inadvertent. The wireless communication device requires activation of the selected key with a predetermined pattern of operation in order to qualify as an intentional act by the user. The predetermined patterns of operation may be varied in accordance with different conditions of the wireless communication device. The predetermined pattern of operation may require continuous activation for a predetermined period of time, multiple activation of the selected key within a predetermined period of time, simultaneous activation of multiple keys, sequential activation of multiple keys, or the like. The wireless communication device may also utilize a display to request confirmation by the user of a selected action.
Abstract:
Some aspects provide for establishing a radio connection for the wireless communication, determining a configuration for whether to segment one or more packets for the wireless communication using the established radio connection, and communicating the one or more packets based on the determined configuration. Some aspects provide for assembling a first frame comprising one or more packets, transmitting the first frame, determining whether a portion of one or more packets was truncated during the assembling of the first frame, and transmitting a second frame comprising at least the truncated portion of the one or more packets of the first frame. Some aspects provide for receiving a first frame comprising one or more packets, determining that a portion of one or more packets is truncated, and determining whether to ignore as padding at least the truncated portion of the one or more packets of the first frame.
