Appl. No.:

09/614294

Inventors:

Liang Cheng - Piscataway NJ 08854
Ivan Marsic - East Brunswick NJ 08816

International Classification:

G06G 700

US Classification:

706 3, 706 4, 706 8, 700 50

Abstract:

In hybrid communication environments, in which both the wired and wireless communication links in a communication channel can exist in a communication channel, performance of a quality-of-service (QoS) provision can be enhanced if the application knows whether there exist wireless links in the communication channel and adapts its behavior accordingly. The system of the present invention includes a fuzzy reasoning engine which uses quality of service parameters of a communication channel relating to network statistical patterns as fuzzy inputs, and determines a confidence about the existence of wireless links in the communication channel as the output. The quality of service parameters can include a mean value and variance of round trip time of packets communicating between two communication entities over the comunication channel. Based on the determination of the type of link, the application can be adapted in order to provide a predetermined quality of service.

International Classification:

G06K 9/20

US Classification:

382312000

Abstract:

A sponsor compensates an entity, such as a wireless service provider or an intermediary, in exchange for allowing the sponsor to advertise on a card, such as a phone card. The card, which is available for purchase by consumers, is used to purchase a wireless service. In some embodiments, the compensation paid by the sponsor to the entity subsidizes the cost of the wireless service for the consumer. In use, the card is coupled to an advertising-enabled wireless terminal. The advertising that appears on the card is visible to the user through the back cover of the wireless terminal. The sponsor card must remain coupled to wireless terminal for the consumer to use the service that was purchased via the sponsor card.
