Patent number: 7711382Abstract: A method for providing dynamic group call among a group of users both wireless (10-30) and wireline (40) places the selectability of the call in the hands of an originating user (10). An originating user (10) may make a fixed number of entries (80). The originating user (10) can create a dynamic group call, add a group call list for later execution, add a member to the group call list, or create a dynamic group call list and immediately execute a group call (92). The method for dynamic group call also provides for selecting a time to live for each group call entry (81) in database (60). This parameter time to live is directly selectable by the originating user (167) or the server. In addition, any member to a previous or existing group call may rejoin or reestablish the dynamic group call (220).Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2004Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Derek A. Oxley, Nandakishore A. Albal, Gustavo A. Leal-Isla, Bradley R. Schaefer, Mark L. Shaughnessy

Patent number: 7376225Abstract: A network (30) of a telecommunication system (100) receives requests (31) for feature transfers from one user (10) to another user (20). In addition, network initiated feature transfer marks a call agent (61) for feature transfer. Subsequent call attempts from a call agent (51) are redirected (63) by the network.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Bernerd R. McKibben, Pramodkumar Patel, Derek A. Oxley

Patent number: 7031273Abstract: For a network server (35) communicating with a wireless unit (10) via a Session Initiation Protocol, a retransmission method (50) first sets a timer based upon a time likely for a mobile unit to respond (54). Then the network server waits for a response (56). When the timer set for the kind of mobile unit being used expires (64), a retransmit of the original SIP request takes place (68). Optionally, modes for waiting may include a linear mode (72) and an exponential mode (74).Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2004Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: William N. Shores, Nandakishore A. Albal, Louis C. Depalma, Thomas P. Emmons, Jr., Derek A. Oxley

Patent number: 6954432Abstract: A full duplex wireless communication system (100) one or more wireless communication devices (101) and fixed infrastructure equipment that includes at least a transcoder (201), a router (203) and a base transceiver site (BTS, 103). To reduce delays of information packets communicated between the transcoder and the BTS, the transcoder, router and BTS employ a unique synchronization-based priority scheme. In accordance with the priority scheme, an indication of the status of synchronization between the transcoder and the BTS is included in an information pace to guide the router's processing of the packet. In the event that the router stores the packet the router preferably inserts a time-delay indication into a portion of the packet. The BTS uses the time-delay indication to determine a desired transcoder transmission time, and communicates an indication of the desired transcoder transmission time to the transcoder.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2000Date of Patent: October 11, 2005Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael W. Bychowsky, Michael Kloos, Derek Oxley

Patent number: 6904023Abstract: The voice signaling gateway (10) provides group call and call back services among iDEN network (20) users (21) and a number of other various networks (30-60) users (31-62). The voice signaling gateway has packet data interface (17) and web interface (16) In an alternate embodiment of the invention, an integrated applications server (70) is added to the voice signaling gateway (100) to provide group call services. The integrated applications server has the functions for supporting group calls which were within the voice signaling gateway (10) and forms a stand-alone special feature system.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2003Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Nandakishore A.

Patent number: 6856628Abstract: A packet prioritization and transmission algorithm for on demand transportation of data packets having different priorities through a shared packet pipe. The algorithm comprises prematurely ending the transmission of a packet having a low priority; placing the remainder of the packet having the low priority in a storage means, holding data of the packet having the low priority in the storage means, transmitting a packet having a high priority, transmitting the remainder of the packet having the low priority once the packet having the high priority is finished transmitting, flagging a packet header of a packet having the low priority to identify pending packets to allow for transmission of packets having the high priority; and determining a priority of an incoming packet.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2000Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael W. Bychowsky, Michael Kloos, Derek Oxley

Publication number: 20040037414Abstract: A business or enterprise (70) may purchase a block of telecommunication network features from a network administrator (60). A user (10) may be a mobile user or various other kinds of users connectable by wireline or wireless networks. The user has an association with the business or enterprise. The user may be an employee of the business or a purchaser of services from the enterprise. The features are implemented for use by the user through various call or session agents (50, 80). After a feature is utilized, the business or enterprise checks whether a particular feature has been exhausted (212). If the feature has been exhausted, another block of features is obtained from the network administrator.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2002Publication date: February 26, 2004Inventors: Patel Pramodkumar, Bernie R.
