Abstract: A system and methodology that facilitates management of a single identity and billing relationship for multiple UE (user equipment) associated with a subscriber is provided. Specifically, each of the multiple UEs can employ LTE (Long Term Evolution) radio technology to authenticate and register with a femto access point. Further, the transport level billing associated with the multiple UE can be facilitated by the femto access point by employing a femto id (identity) and/or credentials. Moreover, the femto access point can be employed by the multiple UEs as a network hub and can be employed by the UEs to perform authentication to connect to a core network. In addition, the femto access point can determine an authorized IP cloud associated with a registered UE and allow the registered UE to access only the authorized IP cloud.

Abstract: A cache server disposed in a motor vehicle receives and caches content from a content distribution network when a load of a cellular link to the content distribution network is low. The cache server determines that the motor vehicle is turned off, broadcasts a wireless signal as part of a wireless network when the motor vehicle is turned off, and provides a device access to the content cached in the cache server via the wireless network.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) that employ deep packet inspection (DPI) of data flow relating to a requested service associated with a communication device to facilitate customizing the service or results provided by the service are presented. A service request can be received by a gateway identification of the service is attempted. If the service is identified, a privacy rule(s), which is contained in a user privacy profile of a user associated with the communication device, is analyzed to determine whether the privacy rule(s) applies to the service. If the privacy rule(s) is applicable, a DPI engine performs DPI on the data flow, in accordance with the privacy rule(s), to obtain information that can be used to customize the service or results provided by the service. The user can specify the level of DPI to be applied. A default rule can specify that no DPI is performed on the data flow.

Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system can receive position information associated with a wireless mobile device of a user and a medical access point name from the wireless mobile device, can determine a gateway based on the position information and the access point name, can receive medical information associated with the user from the wireless mobile device via the gateway, and can provide, based on the medical information and the position information, the medical information to a computer system of a medical facility. The medical information can include drug allergies, food allergies, health issues, physician contact information, emergency contact information, and/or a preferred medical facility, among others. The medical information can be useful in providing medical aid to the user of the wireless mobile device if the user is not able to communicate via verbal means, via written means, and/or via sign means.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to utilizing a wireless communication device which receives allergy information from network nodes. The wireless communication device contains an allergy profile for the user. When the wireless communication device receives allergy information this allergy profile is referenced to determine if any allergens near the user may cause a problem for the user. If allergens exist to which the user is allergic, a visual, aural, and/or tactile alert is output on the wireless communication device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products notify of health events. Personal health information is stored in memory of a mobile communications device. A peer device is discovered through a wireless personal data network. The peer device is queried for anonymous health information. The anonymous health information is aggregated with the personal health information to produce aggregated health information. The aggregated health information is stored in the memory of the mobile communications device.

Abstract: A user (terminal) is allowed to make an emergency voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone call through an access network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN) using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). The emergency call can be made with or without authentication credentials and is identified by the user's terminal transmitting a Network Access Identifier (NAI) having a user part and/or realm part that indicates the emergency nature of the call, such as e911@e911.com. In response to such an NAI, the caller can be immediately granted limited authentication for the purpose of connecting to an emergency call center. Alternatively, the user (terminal) can be authenticated through networks supporting emergency calls, such as the user's home network, if the terminal indicates to the access network authentication server a preference or requirement for using such networks.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for processing a request from a server of a machine-to-machine service provider are provided. For example, the method receives the request from the server of the machine-to-machine service provider to communicate with a machine-to-machine device, determines whether to authorize the request based upon a policy in a privacy database, and enables communications between the server of the machine-to-machine service provider and the machine-to-machine device if the request is authorized based upon the policy.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a policy manager, a legacy service request for a terminal disposed in an access area including a plurality of networks. The method includes determining, by the policy manager, an optimal delivery network from the plurality of networks to handle the legacy service request. The method includes transmitting, by the policy manager, the legacy service request to the optimal delivery network. The method includes forwarding, by the optimal delivery network, the legacy service request to the terminal disposed in the access area.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for centrally managing service related information within a roaming environment are presented herein. A decision component can be configured to decide, based on information associated with a service level agreement, whether to accept, reject, or dynamically negotiate a communication service requested via a mobile device roaming within a visited network. Furthermore, an analysis component can be configured to map one or more parameters related to a quality of the communication service to one or more service policies as a function of the information. Moreover, a distribution component can be configured to distribute the one or more service policies to one or more policy servers of the network; or forward information of the one or more service policies to another network.

Abstract: Following initial call establishment negotiation to build a call context between a network and a remote unit, the base processes the header of the data packets. The base acts as an intermediate nodal point to establish call contexts with the endpoints on the traffic channels, wherein the processing of the header of the data packets is terminated at the base. The base processes only the header field that needs to be transmitted along the payload, and transfers the processed portion along with the payload. A session is then established between the remote unit and the network, and the traffic resumes from both ends.

Abstract: The subject innovation relates to systems and/or methodologies for comprehensive policy based service delivery. A policy plane is provided as a comprehensive way to manage operator policies for most all IP and/or service flows (e.g., IMS and non-IMS) under varying network conditions, while keeping in view user preferences, user subscriptions, service requirements, terminal capabilities (e.g., including converged terminals), network capabilities (e.g., 3gpp and non-3gpp accesses inter-working with 3gpp), session transfer policies, service aware roaming, and so forth. The policy plane can be generated through harmonization of existing components (e.g., discussed infra), and creation of new policy aspects where desired (e.g., policies for identity and charging management in personal area network, etc.). The policy plane works to close gaps between standards, operator requirements, and user requirements.
