A method, system, server architecture and/or tangible medium upgrade and award admittance of events to an event customer, preferably via a data communication network. The method includes, for example, receiving a communication from the event customer, the communication including a request to obtain admittance to at least one event, the communication also including an identifier associated with the event customer, admitting the event customer at the point of sale system after verification of the request, and updating a database indicating that the request was processed. The method also includes determining first predetermined criteria associated with the event indicative of at least one other event customer not attending the event, releasing an allocation associated with the at least one other event customer, and notifying at least another of the event customers to perform the upgrade and/or reallocation.

System and method for reallocating and/or upgrading and/or selling tickets, other event admittance means, goods and/or services

An unlicensed wireless service (126) is adapted to generate the interface protocols of a licensed wireless service (106) to provide transparent transition of communication sessions between a licensed wireless service and an unlicensed wireless service. In one embodiment, a mobile station (102) includes level 1, level 2, and level 3 protocols for licensed wireless service and an unlicensed wireless service. An indoor base station (128) and indoor network controller provide protocol conversion for the unlicensed wireless service into a standard base station (108) controller interface of the licensed wireless service.

Apparatus and method for extending the coverage area of a licensed wireless communication system using an unlicensed wireless communication system

A priority and preemption method for performing a priority and preemption process includes the steps of satisfying a resource acquisition request from a reserve pool for an external system, and when the resource acquisition request cannot be satisfied from the reserve pool, requesting additional unused frequencies, and when the additional unused frequencies are not available, requesting to preempt active calls. The method also includes the step of replenishing the power and the frequencies received from the frequency controller, the data hub and/or the independent operations controller when the frequencies are no longer needed by the priority and preemption system.

Priority and preemption service system for satellite related communication using central controller

A method, system, server architecture and/or tangible medium determines and/or transmits and/or establishes communication with a mobile device user. The method includes, for example, receiving a communication from and/or transmitting a communication to, an event customer, and optionally updating a database to reflect the communication. The method also includes obtaining at least one mobile address, e.g., a telephone number and a communication network used thereon by the event user and building a data address therefrom to establish the communication with the event user. In one embodiment, the method does not require the event user to provide a bbnetwork address associated with the mobile contact address. Various optional embodiments are disclosed.

System and method for determining and/or transmitting and/or establishing communication with a mobile device user for providing, for example, concessions, tournaments, competitions, matching, reallocating, upgrading, selling tickets, other event admittance means, goods and/or services

A method and system for locating an unlicensed mobile access (UMA) subscriber. The method enables a user of a mobile station comprising a hand-set or the like that supports voice and data access via both licensed and unlicensed radio spectrums to be located. Accordingly, services requiring location information, such as 911 services, may be accessed when operating the mobile station under both UMA and licensed wireless network (e.g., cellular) sessions.

Method and system for determining the location of an unlicensed mobile access subscriber

The mobile communication system comprising a public network, a private system connected to the public network and a satellite system connected to the public network. The private system includes a radio base station which has a communication zone, a first mobile telephone which is able to communicate with the radio base station in the communication zone and is able to communicate with the satellite system, and a private branch exchange connected to both the public network and the radio base station which performs communication processes between the public network and the private system. The radio base station and the first mobile telephone are able to process a private protocol and a public protocol. The satellite system includes a satellite station which relays radio waves on a satellite line, and a satellite ground station which is able to communicate with the satellite station and is connected to the public network. When the first mobile telephone roams to the satellite system, the private branch exchange transfers information of the first mobile telephone for roaming to the satellite ground station via the public network before changing communication lines.

Mobile communication system with satellite communication hand off capability

PURPOSE: To provide a mobile equipment, a switchboard and a mobile communication system for performing line-connection to a satellite channel in an area outside a private system where the other system is not present. CONSTITUTION: This system is provided with the mobile equipment 5A for performing radio-connection to the private system 2, a public system and a satellite public system, measuring the reception level of a required system and performing the connection to a prescribed system according to a priority, ratio base stations 4A-4C for connecting radio communication with the mobile equipment 5A in the private system 2 and connecting the communication between the mobile equipment 5A and the switchboard 3 by wire communication with the switchboard 3 and the switchboard 3 provided with corresponding protocols for performing the communication with another private system, the public system and the satellite public system for performing the communication by the protocol corresponding to the system selected by the object mobile equipment 5A. Further, when the mobile equipment 5A moves outside of the present system and the public system is not present in the destination, the switchboard 3 requests the setting of the satellite channel and roaming information is transmitted from the switchboard 3 to a satellite earth station 22.
