Abstract:
A muting system (10) according to the present invention enables the wireless communication devices (16,18) that enter a silent zone to generate a silent zone advisory message generates a silent zone advisory message (64) for wireless communication devices (16, 18) that enter a silent zone and subsequently mutes the wireless communication devices (16, 18). A muting device (14) remotely instructs the wireless communication devices (16, 18) to enter a silent mode. A digital information system (20) maintains muting status information that includes information such as the event description, location, and duration in a categorized formation. The digital information center (20) remotely communicates the muting status information to the wireless communication devices (16, 18) so that the wireless communication devices (16, 18) can generate a silent zone advisory message to communicate the he muting status information to callers while the devices are muted.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) for synchronizing implementation of configuration information includes a network manager (105) for transmitting the configuration information and communication devices (110, 115) coupled to the network manager (105) for receiving the configuration information and responding with confirmations indicating that the configuration information is acceptable. In response to receiving the confirmations, the network manager (105) provides to the communication devices (110, 115) an implementation time at which the communication devices (110, 115) begin to utilize the configuration information.

Abstract:
A method (600,700) and apparatus (800) are arranged and operate for facilitating call routing between sites in an enterprise connected by a private IP network (130). A range of identifiers (220-223) served by IP PBXs (120-123) in the enterprise may be registered with a SIP registrar (212) of an inter-site router (210). Call requests to a communication unit (350) outside the home site are routed to the SIP registrar. A site identifier associated with the destination IP PBX allows the call to be completed by the SIP Proxy or the IP PBX where the call was received. When no private IP network is available, a roaming CU registers with a cellular proxy in the visited network. Calls are routed by when an HLR (340) associated with the CU obtains the roaming number from the cellular proxy (330) in the visited site.
Abstract:
A device includes a wireless communication interface configured to couple to a plurality of networks, a processor coupled to the wireless communication interface, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory is to store a set of executable instructions configured to manipulate the processor to determine a set of characteristics (303, 304, 305, 306) for each wireless network of a set of accessible wireless networks and determine (320) a select wireless network of the set of accessible wireless networks based on a comparison of a set of characteristics of the device (309, 310, 311, 312, 313) to the set of characteristics for each wireless network of the set of accessible wireless networks. The set of executable instructions further are configured to manipulate the processor to initiate a telephone call via the select wireless network (325, 326, 327, 328).

Abstract:
Subscribers (S1 - S4) are grouped based on their location within a coverage area (24,26) and offered services based on their respective group affiliations. Specificially, the location-based grouping defines a plurality of zones (Z1-Z3) identifed by coordinates within a network coverage area (24,26) and assigns a dynamic network subscriber group number to each zone.The instant grouping method requires that a service provider (14)maintain both a static network subscriber group database containing network-wide subscriber subscription parameters and a dynamic network subscriber group database containing zone-specific network subscriber subscription parameters, and that a network subscriber (S1-S4) register whenever the subscriber enters into a zone.
