US Patent:

20050190789, Sep 1, 2005

Filed:

Apr 12, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/103603

Inventors:

Jay Salkini - Clarksville MD, US
Thomas Joseph - Garland TX, US

International Classification:

H04J003/16

US Classification:

370466000, 455560000

Abstract:

A scalable, multi-protocol mobile switching center in a wireless communications network provides communications control for digital and analog wireless communications devices including devices that operate according to GSM and IS-standards. The hardware and software architecture of the switching center is designed so that processing that is unique to a particular protocol is performed at the lowest possible level, and remaining processing can use generic procedures. The switching center incorporates a home location register and visitor location register that are used in conjunction with software applications to determine the protocol of mobile communications devices using the wireless communications network. The mobile switching center can be used to provide a large scale distributed wireless network or a small scale wireless network. The switching center can also be used as an adjunct to a private branch exchange to provide in-building wireless services and call control. Graphical user interfaces make the wireless communications network easy to maintain.

US Patent:

Filed:

Aug 18, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/206082

Inventors:

Jay Salkini - Clarksville MD, US
Thomas Joseph - Lothian MD, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455431000

Abstract:

A wireless communications system, and a corresponding method, for use with an aircraft, includes airborne pico cell base stations mounted on the aircraft, the base stations capable of communication with wireless devices used by subscribers on the aircraft via using switching/transaction processing equipment located optionally on the aircraft or in the ground network with one or more ground-based networks. The system includes aircraft location equipment, in communication with the base stations, that determine the aircraft's location, including latitude, longitude, altitude, and other relevant data. Finally, the system includes a wireless communications enable/disable module that receives the aircraft's location and enables and disables wireless communications through the base stations based on the aircraft's location.

US Patent:

Appl. No.:

12/007565

Inventors:

Jay Salkini - Clarksville MD, US
Thomas V. Joseph - Lothian MD, US

International Classification:

H04M 17/00

US Classification:

455408

Abstract:

An over the air (OTA) Prepaid system, and a corresponding method, allows wireless connectivity when a wireless network would typically reject a user, such as when the user's profile cannot be validated. In wireless networks, unrecognized users are denied service due to the inability of the network to collect funds from the user for the services to be provided. When such a rejection scenario occurs, the OTA Prepaid system automatically (no user interaction required) initiates the process of local account allocation.

Appl. No.:

13/507676

Inventors:

Jay Salkini - Columbia MD, US
Thomas Joseph - Lothian MD, US

International Classification:

H04W 12/08
H04W 4/22

US Classification:

4554041, 455509

Abstract:

A method, implemented on a programmed processor, for controlling wireless communications to and from a macro wireless network includes provoking an access request from a wireless device to register the device with an intelligent network access controller for a local wireless network; locking the wireless device to the controller; determining a category of the wireless device; if the determined category is a first category, preventing access to wireless communications using the macro wireless network; and if the determined category is a second category, directing the wireless device to re-attempt access with the macro wireless network.
