Abstract:
Un dispositivo de comunicaciones moviles que mide las características o los atributos de una primera red de comunicaciones que varía de acuerdo con la ubicacion física dentro de esa primera red de comunicaciones a fin de crear un codigo de identificacion o una firma de una ubicacion dentro de la primera red de comunicaciones. Una vez que se creo el codigo de identificacion de la ubicacion actual del dispositivo movil, se lo puede comparar con un codigo de identificacion conocido asociado con una segunda red de comunicaciones para determinar la cercanía del dispositivo movil a la segunda red de comunicaciones. Además, el segundo y los subsiguientes codigos de identificacion que se generan para una red de comunicaciones en especial se pueden utilizar para modificar los codigos de identificacion almacenados para así refinarlos y mejorar la deteccion de la proximidad a la red de comunicaciones.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are presented herein for controlling the degree of precision with which geographic information is reported to a requesting entity. A precise geographic location is used to determine an adjusted geographic location, which is then transmitted to the requesting entity rather than the precise geographic location.
Abstract:
A method for maintaining a fingerprint for a wireless network (104) is provided. A first fingerprint is stored at a wireless communications device (102). The first fingerprint identifies a location (B) corresponding to a first communications network based on one or more reference signals from a second communications network. When the wireless communications device (102) is within the location (B), a second fingerprint is determined based on a current measurement by the wireless communication device (102) of the one or more reference signals. Then the first fingerprint is modified based on the second fingerprint.

Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method provide voicemail service using a packet data messaging service such as multimedia message service (MMS). Upon detecting that the call has been diverted to the voicemail server, rather than using a real-time voice connection to record a voicemail message, the voicemail message is recorded at an origination mobile station and transmitted in a packet data message through a packet data messaging service center such as a multimedia messaging service center (MMS-C). If the destination device is a destination mobile station subscribing to the packet data messaging service, the packet data message is deposited in the destination mobile station. Where the destination device is a device without access to the service, the packet data message is forwarded to a destination address in a voice mail server associated with the voicemail box of the destination device.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for communicating in a communication system are described herein. In one aspect, methods and devices for group based access control of machine to machine devices for wireless communication are described. One method includes forming a machine-to-machine (M2M) group identifier based on a M2M service category. The method further includes associating the M2M group identifier with at least one wireless device. The method further includes transmitting data intended for receipt by the M2M group, the data including the M2M group identifier.
Abstract:
Techniques for performing priority scheduling and admission control in a communication network are described. In an aspect, data flows may be prioritized, and packets for data flows with progressively higher priority levels may be placed at points progressively closer to the head of a queue and may then experience progressively shorter queuing delays. In another aspect, a packet for a terminal may be transferred from a source cell to a target cell due to handoff and may be credited for the amount of time the packet has already waited in a queue at the source cell. In yet another aspect, all priority and non-priority data flows may be admitted if cell loading is light, only priority data flows may be admitted if the cell loading is heavy, and all priority data flows and certain non-priority data flows may be admitted if the cell loading is moderate.
