Method and apparatus for transferring a communication session

Abstract: Session Inter-Device (SID) mobility networks (50, 100, 150) are described in which a seamless transfer of a communication session from a first device (56. 106, 116) to a second device (66, 116, 166) can be achieved without interrupting the active session. According to the SID mobility network (50), the transfer can be accomplished by transferring away from the Transferring Node or first device (56) the IP address associated with the active session (58) so that the network (50) will route the session to the desired Target Node or second device (66). The Transferring Node (56) transfers its IP address (58) to the Agent (60) and stops requesting data packets addressed to its IP address (58). The Agent (60) then begins to request and eventually receive the packets addressed to the Transferring Node's IP address (58). The Agent (60) then transfers the packets to the Target Node (66). In an alternate SID mobility network (100), the Transferring Node (106) transfers a session specific IP address (114) to the Agent (110). The Agent (110) then transfers packets sent to the session specific IP address (114) to the Target Node (120). In another SID mobility network (150), the Transferring Node (162) obtains a temporary IP address (170) and transfers its IP address (164) to a Session Agent (166). The Session Agent (166) begins to request and eventually receive the packets addressed to the Transferring Node's IP address (164), and for each received packet determines if it belongs to the session the Transferring Node (162) requested to transfer to the Target Node (176). If it does, the Session Agent (166) will transfer the packet to the Target Node (176) at the Target Node's IP address (178). If it does not, the Session Agent (166) will transfer the packet to the Transferring Node (162) at its temporary IP address (170). In each SID mobility network, the session with respect to the Correspondent Node continues without interruption throughout the transfer, thereby providing a seamless transfer of the session from a first device to a second device.

Personal data storage and transaction device system and method

Abstract: A circuit and method for personalizing an electronic device (20) through a personal area network (22). Electron devices (20) have transceivers (38) for transmitting a self-initiated message that includes an identification code of the electronic device. Transceivers (38) are also capable of receiving a self-initiated message sent from other electronic devices. The received message causes a response message to be transmitted in response to the identification code in the self-initiated message. Communication between two electron devices (20′ and 20″) is established when the devices are determined to be compatible. The application of the electronic device is configured based on the response message and data is displayed by the electronic device based on the application.

A simple approach to modeling cross-talk in integrated circuits

Abstract: A simple engineering approach for rapid simulation of cross-talk in mixed-mode IC's using SPICE is presented. A side-by-side comparison of several cross-talk reduction schemes has shown that while an SOI-based process provides high isolation from cross-talk at low operating frequencies, its benefit is lost at high frequencies. Simple guard ring substrate contacts appear to be the technique best suited for preventing cross-talk at high operating frequencies. Lumped parameter equivalent circuits have also been developed to represent different isolation schemes in SPICE. The isolation characteristics of test structures employing the above techniques are computed using SPICE and the results compared with two-dimensional device simulation. The results are also compared with experimental measurements on actual silicon to validate the models. >

Remote voice control system

Abstract: A portable communication device (10) is controlled by voice recognition circuitry (20) remote from the portable communication device. The portable communication device includes apparatus for producing and transmitting a parametric representation of voice commands. The remote circuitry (which could possibly be a base station, a mobile repeater, or simply a dedicated box, separate from the portable) produces control signals, responsive to the parametric representation of voice commands, for controlling the portable communication device.

Paging system using message fragmentation to redistribute traffic

Abstract: A selective call receiver (106) receives one or more message packets of a transmitted fragmented message, where each of the one or more message packets includes an address (1605) and message data (1610), and the message data (1610) includes an indication (1702) of whether more message packets are to be received for the fragmented message. The selective call receiver (106) receives an address of each message packet, and then correlates (2908) the address to one or more predetermined addresses. After a successful correlation (2908), the selective call receiver (106) decodes the message data (1610) of each message packet, and then successively stores (2928, 2936, 2942) the decoded message data (1610) to reconstruct the fragmented message. The selective call receiver (106) determines that the fragmented message is completely reconstructed after detection (2918) in the decoded message data (1610) an indication (1702) that no more message packets are to be received for the fragmented message.
