Abstract:
The voice signaling gateway (10) converts signaling and bearer traffic information between iDEN network (20) and various other networks (30-60). Th e voice signaling gateway includes a signaling portion (14) and a bearer traff ic portion (12). The voice signaling gateway interfaces with any networks which support session initiation protocol (SIP). Further, the voice signaling gateway is capable of interworking with both 3G and 2G type networks.
Abstract:
A method for compressing an address of record (111-117) includes a number of members in a group call (100). A compressed list (120) is generated by listing a common domain name (130), a member ID, a unique index number (121) that represents the member and optionally a presence indicator (131). The compressed list (120) is transmitted (182-186) to each of the members of the group call. When a particular member requests to speak (188) the network transmits (190-194) only the unique index number and optionally the presence information of the requesting member.
Abstract:
The voice signaling gateway (10) provides group call and call back services among iDEN network (20) users (21) and a number of other various networks (3 0- 60) users (31-62). The voice signaling gateway has packet data interface (17 ) and web interface (16) In an alternate embodiment of the invention, an integrated applications server (70) is added to the voice signaling gateway (100) to provide group call services. The integrated applications server has the functions for supporting group calls which were within the voice signali ng gateway (10) and forms a stand-alone special feature system.

Abstract:
A method for routing bearer traffic (70') between 3G networks (32, 42) and 2G networks (12, 22) and vice versa uses voice signaling gateways (VSGW)(14, 24, 34, 44). The method determines a VSGW nearest the calling party (11). The nearest VSGW directly routes (86) the bearer traffic through the inter-network (50) to the called party (31) and avoids the "tromboning" effect of always sending bearer traffic to the called party's home location.
Abstract:
A system, method, and wireless device for determining a forward channel rate for wirelessly communicating information to a wireless communication device is disclosed. The method includes receiving data rate control information from each wireless communication device (104, 106) in a plurality of wireless communication devices (104, 106). The method also comprises requesting a set of information. The data rate control information includes signal strength information associated with each of the wireless communication devices (104, 106). The data rate control information received from each of the wireless communication devices is compared to each other. A modulation and coding scheme is determined for wirelessly communicating the set of information to the plurality of wireless communication devices. The modulation and coding scheme is based on the data rate control information associated with a wireless communication device (104) having a weakest signal strength.
Abstract:
A method for providing dynamic group call among a group of users both wireless (10-30) and wireline (40) places the selectability of the call in the hands of an originating user (10). An originating user (10) may make a fixed number of entries (80). The originating user (10) can create a dynamic group call, add a group call list for later execution, add a member to the group call list, or create a dynamic group call list and immediately execute a group call (92). The method for dynamic group call also provides for selecting a time to live for each group call entry (81) in database (60). This parameter time to live is directly selectable by the originating user (167) or the server. In addition, any member to a previous or existing group call may rejoin or reestablish the dynamic group call (220).
