Method and system to support fast hand-over of mobile subscriber stations in broadband wireless networks

Abstract: Method and system to support fast hand-over of mobile subscriber stations in broadband wireless networks. In connection with a hand-over process, a determination is made to which target base station (BS) an air interface for a mobile subscriber station (MSS) is to be handed-over. Various service requirements are requested by the MSS, including a Quality of Service (QoS) level. Based on feedback from potential target BSs, a target BS for hand-over is selected. Current connection context data corresponding to current service flows provided by a serving BS is passed to the target BS to pre-provision service such that a minimal amount of re-entry messaging is required. In one embodiment, a Management Information Base (MIB) instance is maintained at each BS in a broadband wireless network. To pre-provision service, applicable connection context data are transferred between MIB instances at the serving and target BS using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messaging.

Method of Payment for Wireless Charging Service

Abstract: A method of payment for wireless charging service for a mobile device includes detecting wireless power supplied by a power base station, sending a first message to the power base station to initiate an electronic payment (e-payment) procedure if the wireless power supplied by the power base station is detected, receiving a second message from the power base station to indicate that the power base station is ready for the e-payment procedure, performing the e-payment procedure with the power base station; and receiving the wireless power from the power base station if the e-payment procedure is succeeded, or not receiving the wireless power from the power base station if the e-payment procedure is failed.

Method for the recognition and operation of virtual private networks (VPNs) over a wireless point to multi-point (PtMP) transmission system

Abstract: A packet-centric wireless point to multi-point telecommunications system includes a wireless base station coupled to a first data network; one or more host workstations coupled to the first data network; one or more subscriber customer premise equipment (CPE) stations in wireless communication with the wireless base station over a shared wireless bandwidth using a packet-centric protocol; and one or more subscriber workstations coupled to each of the subscriber CPE stations over a second network; resource allocator optimizing end-user quality of service (QoS) and allocating shared bandwidth among the subscriber CPE stations; a scheduler to schedule an internet protocol (IP) flow over the shared wireless bandwidth. The scheduler includes a prioritizer for prioritizing the IP flow based on priorities of a virtual private network (VPN). The system can include an analyzer for analyzing the virtual private network (VPN) priorities for the IP flow, or for prioritizing all VPN IP flows. The system can include a prioritizer to prioritize the IP flow based on one or more subscriber-defined parameters. In the system, the VPN can include a directory enabled networking (DEN) table management scheme. The VPN can be implemented using a point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP). Also included is a method for accomplishing the above.

Location-based ad-hoc game services

Abstract: A method is provided for administering a game over a wireless telecommunications network ( 30 ) serving a number of mobile terminals ( 20 ). The wireless telecommunications network ( 30 ) includes a number of base stations ( 32 ) providing wireless communication coverage for corresponding geographically defined cells ( 34 ). The method includes: establishing a game offering in response to a triggering event; designating a region in response to the established game offering; locating mobile terminals ( 20 ) within the designated region; sending over the wireless telecommunications network ( 30 ), to mobile terminals ( 20 ) within the designated region, an invitation to participate in a game in accordance with the established game offering; and, collecting over the wireless telecommunications network ( 30 ), from mobile terminals ( 20 ) to which the invitation was sent, responses to the invitation, the responses indicating that the invitation to participate in the game has been accepted or declined.

Tdoa/gps hybrid wireless location system

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing the accuracy and robustness of locations determined for a mobile wireless transceiver (MS) in a cellular telephone communications system integrates location-related information both from an assisted GPS device embedded in the mobile unit and from infrastructure-based facilities that extract signal characteristic data at networked base stations (105). Available supporting collateral information may be additionally evaluated in the location determination to provide location estimates of enhanced robustness and accuracy.
