TLDR
The set of user-selectable cellular interoperable modes (cellular first/satellite second, etc.) provided by the Mobile Phone are described and how they are implemented with the ground segment are described.Abstract:
Westinghouse Electric Corporation is developing both the Communications Ground Segment and the Series 1000 Mobile Phone for American Mobile Satellite Corporation's (AMSC's) Mobile Satellite (MSAT) system. The success of the voice services portion of this system depends, to some extent, upon the interoperability of the cellular network and the satellite communication circuit switched communication channels. This paper will describe the set of user-selectable cellular interoperable modes (cellular first/satellite second, etc.) provided by the Mobile Phone and described how they are implemented with the ground segment. Topics including roaming registration and cellular-to-satellite 'seamless' call handoff will be discussed, along with the relevant Interim Standard IS-41 Revision B Cellular Radiotelecommunications Intersystem Operations and IOS-553 Mobile Station - Land Station Compatibility Specification.read more

Patent
System and method for reallocating and/or upgrading and/or selling tickets, other event admittance means, goods and/or services
TL;DR: In this article, a data communication network is used to upgrade and award admission of events to an event customer via a data communications network, where the system, system, server architecture and/or tangible medium upgrade and acceptance of events are considered.
Patent
Priority and preemption service system for satellite related communication using central controller
TL;DR: A priority and preemption method for performing a priority and preemptive process includes the steps of satisfying a resource acquisition request from a reserve pool for an external system, and when the resources acquisition request cannot be satisfied from the reserve pool, requesting additional unused frequencies, and preempting active calls as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Integrated or autonomous system and method of satellite-terrestrial frequency reuse using signal attenuation and/or blockage, dynamic assignment of frequencies and/or hysteresis
TL;DR: In this paper, a cellular communications system comprising a space-based system consisting of a first set of cells, and a ground based system comprising of a second set of cell is described.
Patent
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
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method, system, server architecture and/or tangible medium to determine and establish communication with a mobile device user, which includes, for example, receiving a communication from, or transmitting a communication to, an event customer, and optionally updating a database to reflect the communication.
Patent
Coordinated satellite-terrestrial frequency reuse
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method of operation for efficiently reusing and/or sharing at least a portion of the frequency spectrum between a first satellite spot beam and a second satellite beam, and an underlay terrestrial network associated with a second spot beam is presented.
