Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To address the need to enable wireless presence-based services more efficiently. SOLUTION: A wireless presence proxy WPP415 monitors the messaging and messaging responses of a mobile station MS401 via wireless transceiver equipment 411. Such messaging and messaging responses do not explicitly specify a presence state or state change for the MS. Thus, based upon this monitoring, the WPP infers the presence state/change for the MS and maintains MS location information. The WPP communicates any presence state changes and confirms MS presence state as required by the presence server(s) 225. By monitoring messaging, notifying the server(s) of MS presence and handling server requests, embodiments of the present invention reduce or avoid many existing inefficiencies, such as wide area paging and call set-up and tear-down for each presence ping due to each service, from each presence server.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for operating in reduced slotted mode. Following the release of the traffic channel, a mobile station (102) and base station (108) operate with a shorter slot cycle governed by a reduced slot cycle index value. The mobile station and base station operate using the reduced slot cycle index value until a particular time occurs governed by a reduced slotted timer value or for a period of time governed by the reduced slotted timer value. The invention provides faster call setup for mobile station terminated calls, without requiring registration with a MSC (110) to change between the reduced slot cycle index value and the registered slot cycle index value.
Abstract:
The need to enable wireless presence-based services more efficiently is addressed by embodiments of the present invention. A wireless presence proxy (WPP 415) monitors the messaging and messaging responses of a mobile station (MS 401) via wireless transceiver equipment (411). Such messaging and messaging responses do not explicitly specify a presence state or state change for the MS. Thus, based upon this monitoring, the WPP infers the presence state / change for the MS and maintains MS location information. The WPP communicates any presence state changes and confirms MS presence state as required by the presence server(s) (225). By monitoring messaging, notifying the server(s) of MS presence, and handling server requests (potentially from many servers for the same MS), embodiments of the present invention reduce or avoid many existing inefficiencies, such as wide area paging and call set up and tear down for each presence ping, from each presence server.
Abstract:
To address the need for reducing call setup time without degrading the originator's service, a RAN (103) transmits a channel assignment message in a paging slot monitored by a target unit (113). The target unit responds to th is channel assignment page indicating its availability and location within the RAN coverage area. The RAN then indicates the availability of the target uni t to the calling unit (120) that originated the service request. In this way, the originator is able to proceed with the communication service, while the target completes its call setup.
Abstract:
In a communication system a method for selecting a set of preferences for use during transmission of information to a particular destination anticipates selecting a list of one or more destinations, each destination having a key and a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. A historical database is indexed via the key to retrieve a set of database entries, each entry having a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. The retrieved database entries are filtered in order to identify those entries exhibiting a predefined set of criteria. After filtering, the preference values within the identified database entries are applied during transmission and subsequent processing of the information.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) provides communication services from a plurality of base stations (111-134) in a corresponding plurality of registration areas to a mobile station (150). A method in communication system (100) includes pre-registering mobile station (150) with plurality of base stations (111-134) according to a predefined plan (170) that includes a pattern of location and time of mobile station (150) expected to be in the plurality of registration areas. Mobile station (150) accordingly need not to initiate or repeat its registration with plurality of base stations (111-134) as long as its location at a specified time matches predefined plan (170).

Abstract:
In a communication system a method for selecting a set of preferences for use during transmission of information to a particular destination anticipates selecting a list of one or more destinations (502), each destination having a key and a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. A historical database is indexed via (504 and 508) the key to retrieve a set of database entries, each entry having a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. The retrieved database entries are filtered (506 and 512) in order to identify those entries exhibiting a predefined set of criteria. After filtering (518), the preference values (514 and 516) within the identified database entries are applied during transmission and subsequent processing of the information (520).
Abstract:
To address the need for inter-operability between 3G1X networks and wireless packet data networks, architectural and messaging embodiments are described that provide for new interfaces Ay, Az, and Ap. The Ay interface supports messaging between a 3G1x base station (BS) (103) and a packet data network access network (AN), such as an HRPD AN (123). The Az interface supports messaging between a 3G1x base station (BS) and a packet data network packet control function (PCF), such as an HRPD PCF (125). The Ap interface supports messaging between a 3G1x PCF (105) and a packet data network PCF, such as an HRPD PCF. Using A8/A9 and Ap interfaces, then, messaging between a 3G1x BS and a packet data network PCF is enabled.
