Wv-ims relay and interoperability methods

Abstract: Mapping functionality is added in between a Wireless Village (WV) server (10) and a Presence, Messaging and Group (PMG) server (80) of a 3GPP IP (Internet Protocol) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) (190) to permit interoperability between WV (10) and IMS clients for instant messaging and presence services for operators who have deployed both IMS (190) and WV (10). For an operator who has deployed WV (10) but not IMS (190), the mapping functionality is structured to permit an IMS device to register into WV system (10) via an IM/WV Relay that performs an SIP/CSP conversion to emulate a WV device login but to then use the SSP to maintain a session or to deliver a message or presence information. Likewise, a WV device can register directly into IMS (190) for operators not deploying WV (10) using the mapping functionality of the present invention, e.g., in an IMS/WV Relay.

Methods and apparatus for updating the software of a mobile terminal using the air interface

Abstract: A wireless user terminal (10), such as a cellular telephone, includes a transceiver (14, 16) for conducting bidirectional RF communications with a communications network (32) and a data processor (18b) for controlling the operation of the terminal. The terminal further includes (a) a first memory capable of storing a data processor program; (b) a second memory capable of storing a data processor program; (c) a memory device or register for storing a flag for indicating which of the first and second memories is a currently Active memory, that stores a currently active data processor program, and which of the first and second memories is a currently Idle memory; and (d) circuitry for receiving another data processor program from the communications network and for storing the received another data processor program into the Idle memory. The circuitry operates while the data processor executes the data processor program stored in the Active memory.

Enhanced qos control

Abstract: The invention is a method and a system for the providing of service to user equipment (UE). A method of providing services to user equipment in accordance with the invention includes providing from a database (420) to a policy decision entity (405) subscriber information regarding permitted conditions for the users to obtain the services; providing service information from at least one network or server (100), regarding service offered by the at least one network or server to the user equipment, forming policy rules at the policy decision entity based upon the subscriber information and the service information. A requesting user equipment transmits a request for service to the communications network which is processed by the policy decision entity in accordance with the policy rules to determine if the service is to be allowed and if the service is allowed characteristics of the service to be provided to the requesting user equipment and the policy enforcement entity enforces at least one characteristic of an allowed service upon the communication network to insure that the allowed service obtained by the requesting user equipment has the at least one characteristic of the allowed service.

General packet radio service

Abstract: A method for quickly de-allocating physical channels (PDCH) assigned to packet switched calls in a GPRS supporting GSM digital cellular telephone network. An PDCH de-allocation RLC/MAC control message is broadcast to listening mobile stations from a base station subsystem (BSS) and contains a temporary flow identity (TFI) which is recognised by the listening mobile stations (MS). The mobile stations respond by terminating packet switched data transmissions on the identified PDCHs. The RLC/MAC message also identifies the number of PDCH time slots which can be used before de-allocation must occur.

Transmission system for relaying short messages

Abstract: A transmission system for relaying short messages comprising a sender of short messages (SME) and a receiver of short messages (MS). The short message sender (SME) comprises sending means for sending a deleting short message including at least the address of the receiver and the identifier of a short message to be deleted. The short message receiver (MS) comprises identification means for identifying the deleting short message and deletion means for deleting the short message according to the identifier of the short message to be deleted in the deleting short message from the memory intended for the short messages of the receiver.
