Michael Francis Dolan - Bolingbrook IL, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04L012/66

US Classification:

370352, 370401, 370474, 379 671, 455466

Abstract:

Delivery of short audio communications to remote end user devices uses discrete message-oriented service messages for delivery of the audio messages. Audio information is captured, encoded by means of audio compression technology, and stored at a message center. Alternatively, the audio information may be stored in an uncompressed format and compressed immediately before delivery. The compressed audio information is transmitted by means of Short Message Service or another discrete message-oriented service to the end user device, where it is decompressed and played to the recipient. Message delivery can be accomplished in parallel with some other ongoing activity at the end user device. The major fields in a Short Message Service message used to carry encoded audio information are a Type of Data field, including information on the type of translator needed to decompress the message field, a Short Message Identifier, a Length field, and the coded audio information. If the audio information is too large to be contained in a single Short Message, segmentation and reassembly techniques commonly known in the art are applied to break the information into segments, each of which is placed into a separate Short Message having the fields: Type of Data; Short Message Identifier; Total Segments; Number of Enclosed Segment; Segment Length; and Coded Audio Information Segment. At the end user device, the Short Message can be stored until the end user listens to the audio information.

Abstract:

An architecture to support service features for wireless calls in a wireless telecommunication system is disclosed. Service feature administration for a wireless terminal is provided by a packet data feature server in a home network that is connected to a packet data network. During call setup on behalf of the wireless terminal, the feature server is accessed via the packet data network to manage service features that are specific to the wireless terminal.

Appl. No.:

11/810161

Inventors:

Michael Francis Dolan - Bolingbrook IL, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455436

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for performing inter-technology handovers of a communication unit between a first Radio Access Network (RAN) and a second RAN. The communication unit includes a single transceiver. An inter-RAN tunnel is established between the first RAN and the second RAN. When the communication unit determines that it may be moving out of the service area of the first RAN, the communication unit sends a handover request message to the first RAN. The handover request message includes a request for a second RAN that the communication unit can communicate with. The communication unit is then able to perform some handover communication with the second RAN prior to actually handing off to the second RAN, by utilizing the inter-RAN tunnel between the first RAN and the second RAN.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

709203, 726 1

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for establishing a plurality of flows between an application server and user equipment to support one or more applications. The method includes transmitting a group request from the application server to a policy server. The group request is to establish the flows and includes information indicating one or more relationships between the flows. The method also includes receiving, at the application server and from the policy server, a response to the group request indicating whether the flows have been established subject to one or more constraints imposed by the relationship(s).
