Filed:

Jul 3, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/609907

Inventors:

Thomas Lloyd Hiller - Glen Ellyn IL, US
Robert Jerrold Marks - Homewood IL, US
Peter James McCann - Naperville IL, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455445, 455442, 4555542

Abstract:

A method for allowing a mobile of a wireless communication simultaneous access to multiple data networks coupled to the wireless communication network. A network interface is created between network controlling elements, such as Base Station Controllers, of the wireless communication network. The network interface allows various communication channels established by the mobile to be routed to network controlling elements that are coupled to the various data networks. Information from various established communication channels are routed between various network controlling elements. Thus, a mobile is able to communicate simultaneously with different data networks. The network interface also allows handoffs to be executed with virtually no interruptions and no loss of information being exchanged between the mobile and system equipment involved in the handoff.

Appl. No.:

10/334080

Inventors:

Thomas Lloyd Hiller - Glen Ellyn IL, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04L 12/38

US Classification:

370263, 370386, 375133

Abstract:

Voice packets transmitted by an originating wireless user for use in a half-duplex communication mode in a one to many communication session are monitored for an unexpected cessation. If an unexpected cessation of such voice packets is detected for a predetermined time period, the session server controlling the communications session is notified to release the supporting half-duplex communication paths associated with the originating user.

Appl. No.:

10/334090

Inventors:

Thomas Hiller - Glen Ellyn IL, US
Peter McCann - Naperville IL, US

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455/456100, 455/519000

Abstract:

Voice packets transmitted by an originating wireless user for use in a half-duplex communication mode in a one to many communication session are intended for a group of users as determined by group information provided by the originating user. The geographic location of the members of the group that are active is determined. Based on information from the originating user designating a location in which communications with members should be established, packets are routed only to the members in the designated location.
