Abstract:
While engaged in a dedicated channel, a User Equipment (UE) may get stuck on it. A method and the computer program product detects whether the UE is stuck on the dedicated channel ( 202 ). When it is detected that the UE is stuck, the UE or the corresponding network in which the dedicated channel is located carries out a local release of the UE from the dedicated channel ( 204 ), and the UE is placed in idle mode ( 206 ). Locally releasing the UE from the dedicated channel curtails unnecessary battery consumption in the UE and limits wastage of network resources and bandwidth.

Abstract:
A data transfer appts. employing a data buse having synchronous and asynchronous modes for communication between a first and second memory units. It determines a need for memory transfer and responsively searches a number of memory segments in the second memory for a valid data record stored in one of the segments. The memory transfer device then communicates the valid data record from the second data unit to the first memory unit in the asynchronous mode when the search finds a valid data record. It communicates an empty data record in the asynchronous mode when the search does not find a valid data record.
Abstract:
A cellular phone (100) having a fixed calling capacity limiting use of phone to emergency situations. Two call sequences are stored in memory permitting telephonic communication with only the two fixed sites associated with the two call sequences. Telephonic communication must be effectuated with a first fixed site, and then terminated, prior to effectuation of telephonic communication with a second fixed site. Telephonic communication with a second fixed site is permitted during a predetermined, limited time period.
Abstract:
Un método para que un radioteléfono busque redes móviles terrestres públicas de mayor prioridad, teniendo cada red un conjunto de células para proporcionar servicio de radiotelefonía a un radioteléfono dentro de un área geográfica correspondiente, teniendo cada célula un área de cobertura de comunicación de radio establecida mediante estaciones base de lugar fijo, y cada estación base operativa para enviar mensajes a radioteléfonos, comprendiendo el método: adscripción (300) del radioteléfono sobre la célula de una red móvil terrestre pública visitada; la identificación de modo único (302) de la célula; la búsqueda (304) de la redes móviles terrestres públicas con una prioridad mayor que la red móvil terrestre pública visitada; caracterizado el método por: el almacenamiento (306) de un historial de aquellas frecuencias encontradas que no son de la red móvil terrestre pública de mayor prioridad para cada una de un conjunto de células de la red móvil terrestre pública visitada, asociándose cada historial con cada célula identificada de modo único; y la exploración (308) en busca de las redes móviles terrestres públicas de mayor prioridad excepto en aquellas frecuencias listadas en el historial para la célula identificada de modo único en la que está adscrito el radioteléfono.
Abstract:
An emergency call placement method (300) used in user equipment in idle mode camped on a first cell of a wireless communication network having a first radio access technology includes the steps of requesting (316) a radio resource control connection using "emergency call" as an establishment request, changing (340, 350) to a new cell in a different location area or routing area than the first cell, and requesting again (316) a radio resourc e control connection using "emergency call" as an establishment request. This method avoids performing a location area update or a routing area update whe n the user equipment changes to a new cell during an emergency call and thus m ay speed up placement of the emergency call by several seconds.

Abstract:
A method for a radiotelephone to search for a high priority, home, or home-equivalent public land mobile network (PLMN) includes a first step of camping (300) the radiotelephone on a cell of visited PLMN. A next step includes uniquely identifying (302) the cell. A next step includes searching (304) for PLMNs with a higher priority than the visited PLMN. A next step includes storing (306) a history of those frequencies found that are not of a higher priority PLMN for the uniquely identified cell. Any subsequent searches for frequencies of higher priority PLMNs performed while camped on that cell includes scanning (308) for available frequencies except for those frequencies listed in the history for the uniquely identified cell in which the radiotelephone is camped.
Abstract:
A receiver has a channel scan mode of operation and a communication mode of operation. In the channel mode of operation, the passband of a filter is narrowed relative to the passband of the filter in the communication mode. According to another aspect of the circuit, a local oscillator is selectively phase locked to an internal clock during channel scanning and locked to the incoming signal during a communication mode operation.
