Publication number: 20060282495Abstract: A method for providing information concerning broadcast contents for a user is designed and further developed in such a way that the user sets preferences regarding the broadcast contents via the network, achieving the option of a systematic selection of program contents in an infrastructure that is at the same time as simple as possible. The user is connected to a network—a mobile radio network, Internet or the like —and can receive broadcast. From the broadcast contents one or more program lists representing the broadcast contents corresponding to the set preferences are generated by using the set user-specific preferences. On the base of the program lists status lists reflecting the current states and changes of state of the broadcast contents that are handed over together with the program lists are generated by a software program executed at the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Daniele Abbadessa, Telemaco Melia

Patent number: 6236856Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining information about a cellular mobile radio network (such as a GSM network) comprising a fixed part providing radio coverage in a plurality of cells and mobile stations for communicating with the fixed part across a radio interface. Each cell uses a group of control channels which are configured in accordance with configuration messages which are passed in the network when the cell is to be configured or reconfigured. The method comprising the steps of: monitoring signalling messages of a cell which are passed in the network (for example across a GSM Abis interface) generally more frequently than the configuration messages; detecting (S48,S50) monitored messages of predetermined types (such as CHAN RQD, CHAN ACTIV, EST REQ, PAGING CMD, SMSBREQ or SMSBC); and extracting (S52-S62) information from the detected messages relating to the control channel group configuration of the cell.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1998Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Daniele Abbadessa

Patent number: 6181682Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for determining information about a cellular mobile radio network comprising a fixed part providing radio coverage in a plurality of cells, and mobile stations for communicating with the fixed part, the network broadcasting to all mobile stations within each cell a frequency allocated to the cell by the network operator and a code allocated to the cell by the network operator. The allocated frequency and code for each cell are determined by monitoring signalling messages passed between network elements, selecting a pair of signalling messages in accordance to predetermined selection criteria, establishing if the pair of messages are related to the same event within the network, and if so, extracting data from the pair of messages. A first embodiment determines the beacon frequency and BSIC of a cell of a GSM type cellular network and associates them with a TRX within the cell.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1997Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Daniele Abbadessa, Jan Schiefer

Patent number: 6088587Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for monitoring a cellular mobile radio system and for identifying monitored radio elements within the network with respect to other network entities. The logical and physical topology of a cellular mobile radio system is determined by monitoring messages passed across a communications interface in the system. Embodiments of the invention associate common information occurring in different messages, and over time, establish the topology of a network, even though messages passed across the monitored interface do not comprise unique system-wide addressing information. In particular, the present method provides a mapping between radio elements (TRX) and other network entities (TEI, CI, and LAI) in a GSM type cellular system by monitoring messages across the Abis and A interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1997Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Daniele Abbadessa
