Abstract: A network device receives a vehicle coordinate report from a vehicle transiting a toll-way, wherein the report includes current geographic coordinates of the vehicle. The network device determines a distance to a current toll station (DTT) of the toll-way based on the current geographic coordinates of the vehicle, and determines a cumulative distance (CD) traveled by the vehicle on the toll-way based on the current geographic coordinates of the vehicle. The network device triggers assessment of a toll charge to a customer associated with the vehicle based on the determined distance DTT and the determined cumulative distance CD.

Abstract: As SIP usage becomes prolific in 3G wireless communications, challenges are presented to using the current SIP protocols for real-time communications due to the limited signaling compression offered via SIP become. Signaling introduces unwanted delays on limited bandwidth and increases the call setup time. Additionally, SIP messages are large—from a few hundred bytes to several kilobytes—and compression is not offered on all available fields. The invention provides for compression of the VIA field of SIP messages through several techniques and thereby achieves lower signaling delays that reduce complex call setup delays and reduce the loss of bandwidth to necessary in-call signaling.

Abstract: A wireless terminal concurrently associates with multiple wireless local area networks. The wireless terminal may operate in power save mode on both of the WLANs to prevent a disruption of communication on either WLAN. The wireless terminal may adjust the times at which it listens for beacons to enable reception of beacon information even though the beacons for different WLANs may overlap in time. Beacon transmission times also may be scheduled to avoid overlapping transmissions of beacons on different WLANs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the operation of a dual mode wireless communication device are provided. A wireless communication device includes a scan module, a registration module and a learning module that cooperate to allow the device to identify available radio access technologies, select a radio interface, manage the radio interface, and learn behavioral patterns that optimize operation of the dual mode device. The dual mode device maximizes the overall time it is operational on the better radio access technology while not performing unnecessary scans. This helps in improving performance, preserving battery life and enhancing the overall user experience. In operation, the dual mode device scans for available voice or data networks upon identification of a trigger event, for example, a manual instruction, a drop in signal strength, a loss of signal, a time of usage on a particular network, a battery condition, an application preference, a state of the wireless communication device, or a geographic location.
