Abstract: A system in which a private base station supports the registering of multiple mobile stations and generates a personalized call delivery feature for each registered mobile station is provided. Each mobile station registers separately with the base station when within communication range of the base station. When registration of a mobile station with a private base station is performed, the private base station generates a local unique address for each one of the multiple mobile stations registering with the private base station. This unique address for a registered particular mobile station is also sent to the private base station location register.

Abstract: A private base station location register supports the registering of multiple mobile stations at a private base station and provides control information for enabling a personalized call delivery feature at the private base station for each registered mobile station. When registration of a mobile station with a private base station is performed, the private base station location register receives mobile station information from a private base station along with assignment of a local unique address for each one of the multiple mobile stations registering with the private base station. When the private base station receives an incoming call for a particular one of the mobile stations, this local unique address associated with the particular station is provided by the base station location register as part of the incoming call information also received by the base station thereby allowing the base station to distinctively alert the particular mobile station.

Abstract: A method for improving linear modulation compensation at the antenna terminals of an RF device in order to react to high voltage standing wave ratio variations is disclosed. In the present RF transmitters, such as portable radios, when transmission voltage standing wave ratio varies such that the linearization of its modulation technique is adversely affected, the dynamic accommodation of the variations in voltage standing wave ratio can be imposed on the output of the RF power amplifier to ensure that linearization is not lost. Specifically, the reverse power signal from the power amplifier can be detected and used to calculate a standing wave control signal. The standing wave control signal is provided to a step attenuator which attenuates the output of the power amplifier in an amount commensurate with the amount of reverse power signal at the output of the power amplifier. By adding attenuation in response to increases in reverse power signal, the linearity of the modulation being used can be controlled.

Abstract: A device and a procedure for a telecommunications system that makes possible the introduction of a general personal telephone number which functions in both fixed and mobile networks as well as in cordless access systems connected to these networks. A condition for this personal number is a central network node located at, or in connection to, these telecommunications networks (7), preferably PSTN, ISDN, GSM, NMT, without influencing network functions, numbering schemes, terminals in these networks. For a call to a subscriber located in any telecommunications network, the call, independent of from which telecommunications network the call emanates, is connected to this central network node which converts the received personal number to the specific number corresponding to the telecommunications network at which the subscriber has registered himself/herself, whereafter said network node executes connection of the call to the current access point which corresponds to the specific number.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for optimizing financial transaction processing when a conventional financial transaction processing terminal is used with a wireless transmission system. An adapter is used between the terminal and a wireless modem, such as a CDPD wireless modem. The adapter receives from the terminal a data block from which the adapter recovers the requested type of transaction and relevant information about the transaction, such as a credit card number, transaction amount, etc., and formats all transactions into a common format for transaction processing. The common format includes a check code which may be used to detect changes made to the original data block as received from the terminal. The adapter then compresses the common format for wireless transmission. The goal of the use of the common format and the data compression is to fit the transaction request into a single data packet.

Abstract: The location of a remote unit (113) within a wireless communication system (100) is determined by all base stations (101) within the wireless communication system (100) initiating a first page (wide-area location page) that is broadcast to the remote unit (113) over a paging channel. The serving and neighbor base stations are determined from the remote unit's (113) response to the wide-area location page, and those base stations are instructed to tune receiving elements to obtain data that will be transmitted by the remote unit (113) during location. A second message (Location Page Message) is then broadcast to the remote unit (113) via the serving base station (101). The Location Page Message instructs the remote unit (113) to periodically transmit a known Remote Unit Location Message (RULM) with increasing power levels for a predetermined number of times so that the remote unit's (113) location can be achieved.

Abstract: The invention provides a program selection method and apparatus using a cordless telephone set by which a desired program can be selected from among a large number of programs in a direct rapid and accurate manner. A TEL key changes over a mode of a cordless telephone set between a first mode in which the cordless telephone set is used as a telephone set and a second mode in which the cordless telephone set is used as a remote commander for remotely controlling an electronic apparatus. A monitor apparatus displays a first display corresponding to a function allocated to any of the keys of the cordless telephone set in the first mode and a second display different from the first display and corresponding to another function allocated to any of the keys in the second mode for remotely controlling the electronic apparatus. A transmission circuit generates a signal corresponding to the manually operated key in response to a manual operation of any of the keys.

Abstract: A method for the implementation of a connection handover initiated by a cordless terminal equipment in Detect systems with modified standard: After the signaling of the call setup request signal "Connection Hand Over Request", the mobile part also immediately transmits the user data in the newly captured channel. After reception of the "Connection HO Request" forwarded by the newly selected base station, reception in the switching node can therefore be immediately switched thereto (without a gap in the user data transmission). In the transmission direction, the switching equipment can transmit in parallel via both base stations until, for example, an acknowledgment is received from the new base station with respect to the error-free signal output of "Bearer Confirm", or until the mobile part clears down the previous connection.

Abstract: The present invention provides an independent supervised communications network which interfaces with an existing cellular telecommunications network by utilizing locally unused cellular frequencies to report information from a premise to a central monitoring facility. This invention utilizes an input device associated with the premise for providing one or more status messages to a transceiver module. The transceiver module may be a modified cellular telephone which is operable in one of three modes; supervision, event and wait. The cellular phone modifications are primarily software changes which provide a logic routine for scanning and selecting an available forward control channel based on a comparison of preselected criteria with measured characteristics and determining a reverse control channel corresponding to the selected forward control channel.

Abstract: An HLR Interface Facility (HIF) is disclosed which is disposed between the HLR and the different customer service data bases. The HIF resolves the two problems associated with the single HLR solution. It provides controlled access to the HLR, preventing secondary service providers from accessing or modifying each other's subscriber records.The HIF also offers interworking facilities, allowing to independently modify the interface into the HLR, and the new interface point between different customer service data bases and the HIF. Therefore, if a new feature is introduced in the MSC and only some of the secondary service providers wish to make use of it, only the interfaces between their customer service data bases and the HIF need modification while the other resellers need not change their own interfaces to the HIF.In addition, a means for interfacing the billing output of the MSC to the multiple billing centers is disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically generating printer profiles for color printers to evenly distribute translation errors between device color spaces are described. Since the color spaces of source devices, e.g., monitors and scanners, differs from that of destination devices, e.g., printers, translation is necessary. As some colors may be available to source devices which are not available to destination devices, this translation is inherently imperfect. Moreover, conventional techniques apply imperfect models of the color space which further skew the results. According to the novel methods and systems described herein, a nonlinear regression technique is applied in an automated system which reduces perceptual changes.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system, each mobile terminal as well as the base station are provided with a registration memory for storing abbreviated dialing data which comprises at least one pair of an abbreviated number and an identification number corresponding to the abbreviated number. The abbreviated dialing data is stored into the registration memory of a first mobile terminal by the user operating a keypads The stored abbreviated dialing data is transferred from the first mobile terminal to the base station. When a second mobile terminal requests the abbreviated dialing data stored in the base station, the base station transmits the abbreviated dialing data to the second mobile terminal. In this manner, the abbreviated dialing data is transferred from a mobile terminal to the base station and then from the base station to another mobile terminal.

Abstract: A digital radiotelephone installation with mobile terminals includes a fixed base transceiver station, which is an element of the network, and mobile telephone terminals at least some of which are designed to be unable to access the network until a user has inserted therein an extractable personalized smart card ("SIM card"). Each mobile terminal is designed to receive, in addition to the extractable "conventional" SIM card, another, auxiliary SIM smart card which remains in the mobile terminal at all times. The auxiliary SIM card corresponds to the same personalized subscription as the conventional SIM card. The extractable conventional SIM card takes precedence over the auxiliary SIM card when it is inserted into said mobile terminal, however, and has the same functionality as the latter.
