Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for effectively serving different users under heavy network loading.SOLUTION: Techniques for performing priority scheduling and admission control in a communication network are described. Data flows may be prioritized, and packets for data flows with progressively higher priority levels may be placed at points progressively closer to the head of a queue and may then experience progressively shorter queuing delays. A packet for a terminal may be transferred from a source cell to a target cell due to handoff, and the amount of time the packet has already waited in a queue at the source cell may be evaluated. All priority and non-priority data flows may be admitted if cell loading is light, only priority data flows may be admitted if the cell loading is heavy, and priority data flows and selected non-priority data flows may be admitted if the cell loading is moderate.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice mail service using a packet data message service such as a multimedia message service (MMS). SOLUTION: When it is detected that a call has been diverted to the voice mail server without using real-time voice connection to record a voice mail message, the voice mail message is recorded in an origination mobile station and transmitted in a packet data message through a packet data message service center such as a multimedia message service center (MMS-C). When a destination device is a destination mobile station subscribed to the packet data message service, the packet data message is saved in the destination mobile station. When the destination device has no access to the service, the packet data message is transferred to a destination address in a voice mail server associated with the voice mail box of the destination device.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for controlling precision of geographic information reported to a requesting entity.SOLUTION: A precise geographic location is used to determine an adjusted geographic location (310). The adjusted location, rather than the precise geographic location, is transmitted to the requesting entity (320).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively serve different users under heavy network loading in a communication network.SOLUTION: In controlling admission in a communication network: cell loading is determined based on average queuing delay of packets to be sent; if the cell loading is light, all priority data flows and non-priority data flows are admitted; if the cell loading is heavy, only priority data flows are admitted; and, if the cell loading is moderate, priority data flows and selected non-priority data flows are admitted.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, a system and a method for efficiently providing voice mail services in a wireless communication system. SOLUTION: The apparatus, the system, and the method provide the voice mail service using a packet data message service such as a multimedia message service (MMS). When it is detected that the presence state of a destination device is "unavailable", a voice mail message is recorded in an origination mobile station and transmitted in a packet data message through a packet data message service center such as a multimedia message service center (MMS-C). When the destination device is a destination mobile station subscribed to the packet data message service, the packet data message is saved in the destination mobile station.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile device capable of locating wireless LANs in a WAN with minimal search time.SOLUTION: In a wireless communications device and method for using the device, the wireless communications device may be used by accessing information in memory, which relates to a first communications network. The information, along with one or more reference signals from a second communications network, is used to determine whether the wireless communications device is in the vicinity of the first communications network.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of protecting individual's privacy, because many service providers of wireless communication systems have position locating ability, for locating a mobile station within an extremely narrow range with accuracy but some users of the wireless communication system may not desire that their precise locations are known to other parties. SOLUTION: Methods and apparatus are disclosed herein for controlling the degree of precision with which geographic information is reported to a requesting entity, and a precise geographic location is used to determine an adjusted geographic location, which is then transmitted to the requesting entity rather than the precise geographic location.

Abstract:
A system, a method and computer product for synchronizing of a femto cell with a macro cell, the method comprising: placing a forward link receiver into the femto cell; receiving by a micro cellular network the femto cell transmission timing; and synchronizing the femto cell transmission timing with the macro cellular network transmission timing in reliance on the forward link receiver signal. Further, a system, a method and computer product for allocating pilot phases to femto cells, the method comprising: creating at least as many new potential pilot phases for femto cells as there are for macro cells; and allowing a mobile device on a macro cell to search and find a femto cell pilot without explicitly listing femto pilot phases in the neighbor list. /j
