Abstract:
Technology for initiating emergency calls is disclosed. A minimum set of emergency related data (MSD) associated with the emergency call may be identified at a terminal equipment (TE) of a mobile terminal. An attention (AT) command may be generated that includes the MSD and selected configuration information related to the emergency call. The AT command may be sent from the TE of the mobile terminal to a mobile termination (MT) of the mobile terminal in order to setup the emergency call, wherein the mobile terminal (MT) routes the emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP) in a communication network.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a determining device for determining a transmission parameter for wirelessly transmitting energy (414) from a sending device (402) to a receiving apparatus (401) is provided, comprising: an authorization checking device which is configured to carry out an authorization (403, 404, 405, 406) in order to determine whether the receiving apparatus is authorized to receive energy from the sending device, a sending/receiving apparatus which is configured to send and receive messages (409, 410, 411) during a message exchange with the receiving apparatus in order to determine the transmission parameter (413); and a parameter determining device which is configured to determine the transmission parameter (413) based on the authorization and based on the message exchange, if the receiving apparatus is authorized to receive energy from the sending device.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for requesting media replication in a collaborative communication session, and Method and apparatus for assigning a communication medium for a collaborative communication session. In a method for requesting media replication in a collaborative communication session, a message is sent which specifies that a communication medium for a collaborative communication session, which is currently being transmitted to at least one terminal, should additionally be transmitted to at least one other terminal, with the at least one other terminal being indicated in the message as the recipient of the communication medium. In a method for assigning a communication medium for a collaborative communication session, a corresponding message is received, and the communication medium is assigned to the at least one other terminal as the recipient of the communication medium. The methods are carried out by appropriately designed apparatuses.
Abstract:
A method for ascertaining active communication sessions may include receiving a request to ascertain active communication sessions by a communication session information server; transmitting respective challenges to determine whether communication sessions are currently active from the communication session information server to at least two communication session servers; receiving respective challenge responses from the at least two communication session servers, which indicate one or more active communication sessions controlled by the respective communication session server or indicate that such communication sessions currently do not exist, by the communication session information server; and transmitting a first response, which indicates one or more active communication sessions controlled by the at least two communication session servers or indicates that such communication sessions currently do not exist, by the communication session information server.
Abstract:
A server may be provided. The server may include: an association circuit configured to associate with a first address according to a first address scheme according to a communication control protocol, by which a communication device may be addressed, a second address according to a second address scheme, by which the communication device may not be addressed.
Abstract:
A communication device is described comprising a receiver configured to receive a message from a communication terminal indicating that the communication terminal requests a data service and indicating that a cost of providing the data service is to be associated with a provider of the data service and including security information; a determining circuit configured to determine, based on the security information, whether the communication terminal is authorized to be provided with the requested data service with a cost of providing the data service being associated with a provider of the data service; and a controller, configured to establish a communication connection for providing the data service and to associate a cost of the communication connection with the provider of the data service if the authorization has been successful.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method for providing information for managing a collaborative communications session may be provided. The method may include generating a first message according to a call control protocol; generating a second message according to the call control protocol, the second message including information for managing the collaborative communications session; and sending the first message to a call managing server. The first message may be generated to include the second message.

Abstract:
A mobile telecommunications terminal is provided, which makes possible, so as to use the least possible amount of power, a query of messages present for the mobile telecommunications terminal in a telecommunications network. The mobile telecommunications terminal includes a receiving device for receiving messages from the telecommunications network in a receive mode. At the mobile telecommunications terminal, a query mode can be established, in which a control unit, in the event that the receive mode is switched off, activates the receive mode at at least one first predetermined time. The control unit checks whether, within a second predetermined time period after the activation of the receive mode, information was received in the receiving device regarding at least one message present in the telecommunications network (10) for the mobile telecommunications terminal.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting short messages (5) in a telecommunications network (10) is proposed, which enables especially simple, convenient downloading of data fields (15, 20, 25, 30) of the short message (5) from a network operator (70). A notice is sent to a subscriber (60) of the telecommunications network (10) as a function of a short message (5) transmitted to the telecommunications network (10) for the subscriber (60). With the notice, data that include items of information about the makeup and/or content of the short message (5) are transmitted to the subscriber (60).
