Abstract: A method for providing a trusted communication link in a wireless network. A mobility management entity (MME) interface of a MME virtualized network function (VNF) receives a trusted communication request. A MME interface trustlet is allocated to execute in a trusted security zone of compute resources provided by a virtual computing environment in which the MME VNF executes. The MME interface trustlet establishes trusted signaling with two or more different VNFs provided by virtual servers executing in the virtual computing environment. The MME interface trustlet sends a trust token to the eNB to establish the trusted communication link from the eNB via a virtualized network function path through the virtual computing environment.

Abstract: A system and method for assisting with calls to public safety answering points may include receiving emergency message data from a user, and, in response to receiving an emergency call request from the user at a telecommunications device, communicating the emergency message data in an audio format to a PSAP.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the optimization of power to increase a coverage area between a mobile device and the wireless communications network. Once it is determined that coverage is to be increased, a scheduling request is communicated to an access component (e.g., base station, eNodeB). The access component then sends a scheduling grant to the mobile device indicating that coverage will be increased. The determination to increase coverage is based on a total time delay of a packet sent from one device to another device, and a quality of the current voice or data session.

Abstract: A system and method for providing location information to a public safety answering point may include receiving, at a network access point, an emergency 911 call signal including GPS location information and mobile directory number of a wireless device. The GPS location information and mobile directory information may be communicated to a selective muter associated with a public safety access point servicing an area including the network access point. The network access point may be a WiFi access point. The access point address information may be communicated using a type II caller ID data packet after the public safety answering point goes off-hook By communicating both the access point address information and GPS location information, both PSAPs that are configured as E911 Phase I and E911 Phase II may display address location information of an emergency 911 caller.

Abstract: A system and method for distributing remote location information to callers who place calls to the remote locations may include storing information at a central computing system. The information may be associated with locations in multiple different time zones and include telephone number identifiers and local times associated with the different respective telephone number identifiers. The information may be distributed to communications network nodes in different time zones. Telephone calls may be processed from callers local to the communications network nodes. In response to receiving a call request at a communications network node from a local caller, a determination by the communications network node using a portion of a called telephone number may be made to determine current time local to the called telephone. The current time local may be communicated to the caller prior to connecting the call with a communications device associated with the called telephone number.
