Abstract:
A communication system (100) provides for a distribution of bearer format type information among Network Elements (110, 130, 160, 170) located along a bearer path of a communication session, thereby facilitating a selection of a bearer format type for the communication session. The bearer format type information informs of bearer format types supported by each of the Network Elements. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bearer format types are conveyed in bearer format type data fields (301-303) of bearer format type messages (300), which data fields may be modified by each Network Element in order to identify the bearer format type capabilities of the Network Element.
Abstract:
A gateway (111, 200) and method for routing calls for a wireless communication unit (113) via a selected network (105, 124, 131) comprises an access point (217) supporting a wireless LAN and a modem (203, 229) for wireless connections to a wireless WAN and an interface 227 with a wired local loop (105). The methodology involves using a first network, such as a local loop if available and a second network, such as a packet data WAN 131 otherwise as well as maintaining the busy status of the first network via the second network.
Abstract:
A communication system (200) controls a cell reselection mode of a mobile station (202) while the mobile station resides in a cell (210) by determining a cell reselection mode of the mobile station, determining whether the mobile station is experiencing a change in radio frequency (RF) conditions, and when the mobile station is experiencing a change in RF conditions, instructing the mobile station to change a cell reselection mode used by the mobile station.
Abstract:
A wireless communication unit (101) is operable to reformat dialed numbers according to dialing plans for a plurality of communication networks (103, 107, 109), where the unit comprises a transceiver (201) for communicating with any of the plurality of communication networks; a user interface (211) operable to provide a number corresponding to a target unit (102, 102') to be called; and a controller (209) implementing a corresponding method to provide a reformatted number (FIG. 3) corresponding to the number and according to a preference that is specific to the wireless communication unit, where the reformatted number is compatible with a dialing plan for a communication network that will be used to place a call to the target unit.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a multimode receiver design for mitigation of frequency offset by selective demodulation of an input modulated signal. The receiver (103) comprises a plurality of demodulators (207). Each of the plurality of demodulators (207) has the same functionality but different receiver sensitivity versus frequency-offset mitigation characteristics. Each of these demodulators incorporates a different demodulation technique. A suitable demodulator is selected to demodulate the received signal. The choice of a suitable demodulator is based on the value of the frequency offset (305, 307).
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system with an air interface comprised of a plurality of bursts, a communication device (102) receives a burst (200). The burst (200) comprises payload (206, 208), a first indicator (202) and a second indicator (204). Upon receipt of the burst (200), the communication device (102) determines a value of the first indicator (202) to determine whether end-to-end encryption is applied to at least a portion of the payload, and determines a value of the second indicator (204) to determine whether air interface encryption is applied to at least a portion of the payload.
Abstract:
A J2ME application (18) stored in memory (14) of a subscriber device (10) includes a Java Native Framework application program interface (24) for providing execution of Framework native code (21) and subscriber device native code (20). An instantiation process (300) determines if the J2ME application (18) has a primary key and accordingly initializing a registration database (48). A registration process (400) registers the Framework native code (21) in the registration database according to an assigned entry identification and dynamically links the Framework native code (21) with subscriber device native code (20), if needed. An execution process (500) executes the Framework native code (21) when the Java Native Framework application program interface is run by the J2ME application (18).
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system (10) having a plurality of wireless communication resources (such as, for example, channel differentiation codes and radio frequency resources), a common air interface type can be assigned to support a new or on-going call as a function, at least in part, of the difference between a desired operational state of the system and a present operational state of the system. In particular, and for example, voice calls can be assigned to an RC4 common air interface and data calls can be assigned to an RC3 common air interface as needed to provide a balanced allocation of these resources to effect maximum call-handling capacity for the system.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a magnetoresistive random access memory device (5) comprising the steps of providing a substrate (10), forming a conductive layer (20) positioned on the substrate, forming a magnetoresistive random access memory device (25) positioned on conductive layer, forming a metal cap (30) on the magnetoresistive random access memory device, and electroless plating a bump metal layer (32) on the metal cap. The bump metal layer acts as a self-aligned via for a bit line subsequently formed thereon.
