  • Patent number: 11477641
    Abstract: Methods for authentication session transfer using application download links are performed by systems and devices. A user or administrator at a first device enables the user to use an application at the user's mobile device. The user or administrator provides a request for the mobile application from the first device to an identity service. The identity service generates a uniform resource locator (URL) that encodes an authentication object generated by the identity service that is specific to the user's identity, and provides the URL to the mobile device. The identity service receives the authentication object back from a browser session of the URL at the user device, and establishes an authenticated browser session of the URL using the authentication object. The identity services authenticates the user's identity for the mobile application responsive to the mobile application invoking the authenticated browser session at the user device.

  • Patent number: 11463580
    Abstract: A system for ring suppression facilitates notification and handling of unwanted calls as desired by a recipient, and in particular without disturbing the recipient. A new social dimension of call presentation logic is now available to callers. A telephony device is configured to receive an incoming call. The incoming call includes a calling line identity (CLI). On the telephony device, individual contacts in an address book are searched for a match to the CLI. If a match is found, a first phone action is activated (such as ringing the phone). If a match is not found in the address book for the incoming CLI, a second phone action is activated (such as not ringing the phone, and displaying the CLI). In other words, a call that is not in the address book of the recipient (B party) is silenced.

  • Patent number: 11317342
    Abstract: A radio node (12) is configured for use in a wireless communication system (10) in which system information is transmitted in parts. The radio node (12) in this regard generates explicit signaling that is associated with a first part (16) of system information and that indicates a sequence (24) with which a second part (20) of system information is to be demodulated or descrambled. The radio node (12) transmits the explicit signaling over a signaling channel (25). Correspondingly, a wireless communication device (14) receives system information for the system (10) in parts. The device (14) receives the first part (16) over the first channel (18). The device (14) also receives the explicit signaling over the signaling channel (25). The device (14) further receives the second part (20) over the second channel (22), by demodulating or descrambling the second part (20) using the sequence (24) indicated by the explicit signaling.

  • Patent number: 11310689
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications and provides a method for dynamically indicating a Quality of Service (QoS) Flow Identity (ID) (QFI) and User Equipment (UE). The method includes: a UE obtains a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) Service Data Unit (SDU) and obtains a first QFI to which the SDAP SDU belongs; maps the first QFI with a relatively large number of bits to a second QFI with a relatively small number of bits, here, a value of the first QFI is mapped to a value of the second QFI which is the same as the value of the first QFI when a value of the first QFI is less than a first preset threshold and the value of the first QFI is mapped to a value of an unmapped vacant position of the second QFI when the value of the first QFI is greater than the first preset threshold; and then includes the second QFI in an SDAP header. Thus, communication service may be implemented better on the basis of an existing communication standard.

  • Patent number: 11190949
    Abstract: A base station, e.g., a CBSD, selects or more user equipment (UE) devices, e.g., cell phones, to operate in monitoring mode. In monitoring mode the UE device, in addition to its normal communications with the base station, performs received power measurements in a frequency band, e.g., a CBRS band. The UE reports to the base station information indicating a UE determined measured power level attributed to incumbent user or measurement information used to derive a power level attributed to incumbent user. One or more base stations report received power measurement values attributed to incumbent user to a system management device, e.g., a SAS. The system management device processes the received information, e.g. combining information, and comparing a result to a threshold level. If the result exceeds the threshold the system management device sends a command to one or more base station to shut down DL traffic in the CBRS band.
