Abstract: The invention concerns a method (200) and a mobile unit (100) for a rapid initiation sequence. The method can include the steps of receiving (210) a rapid initiation sequence command and in response, bypassing (212) a normal initiation sequence in favor of a rapid initiation sequence such that only those components of the mobile unit that are necessary to permit a user to initiate a call from the mobile unit are initially activated. As an example, the initiated call can be an emergency call to an emergency operations center (132). The method can also include the step of completing (220) the normal initiation sequence once the rapid initiation sequence is completed.

Abstract: A mobile Internet server 200 and corresponding method 400 is arranged to function in a wireless communications device 103 where the server comprises a receiver 203 for receiving a first Internet Protocol (IP) message including a dynamic IP address; a controller 207 for parsing the IP message to obtain the dynamic IP address and associating the dynamic IP address with a server application 223; and a transmitter 205 for sending a second IP message using the dynamic IP address, the second IP message indicating availability of the mobile Internet server. The dynamic IP address is assigned 319 by a server service provider 300 in order to facilitate an IP session with the server.
