Patent number: 8526386Abstract: A system for allocating bandwidth resources among various mobile stations which are wirelessly connected to a base station. The length of the data queue in each mobile station is determined and information regarding that length is placed in a field in the outgoing data packet. When it is received in the base station, this field is decoded and the queue length information used to allocate bandwidth resources among the mobile station connections. This allows a very quick response to data queue lengths and accordingly better service.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ghassan Naim, Naveen Kakani, Lasse Huovinen, Chris Clanton

Patent number: 7941171Abstract: Techniques for implementing a push-to-talk feature in a mobile telecommunications environment (100) involve receiving an indication to activate a push-to-talk service for a first mobile device (130(2)) and identifying a group of mobile devices (130) associated with the push to-talk service for the first mobile device in response to the indication. The indication is received in an unstructured supplementary service data message. A notification relating to the indication to activate the push-to-talk service for the first mobile device is sent to one or more mobile devices from the identified group of mobile devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2005Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Brahmananda Vempati, Jianming Xu, Ghassan Naim, Seshagiri Rao Madhavapeddy

Patent number: 7756518Abstract: Provided is a method and system for minimizing call setup delay in a network. The system includes a central node that may be connected to multiple home location registers (HLRs) and a number portability database (NPDB). The central node may also be associated with two tables. The first table includes mobile station identifiers and associated location routing numbers (LRNs), and the second table includes mobile station identifiers and associated home location registers (HLRs). The method searches the first and second tables for a mobile station identifier that matches a mobile station identifier associated with a call. If a match is found, the method uses the associated LRN or HLR to continue with the call setup or to obtain further information. If no match is found, the method sends a query to the NPDB. The method may also dynamically update the first and second tables as current information is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2003Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Jianming Xu, Ghassan Naim, Mike Agular, Pardeep Kohli, Chao-Yee Kuan

Patent number: 7577090Abstract: Geographical redundancy and an efficient switchover process to redundant equipment (210) is achieved by separating active main equipment (220) and standby redundant equipment in different geographical locations so that failures can be avoided in the event of a natural disaster or other event that affects an entire building or region. In addition, partial switchover can be performed for components or functions that become inoperative to corresponding redundant components in the standby equipment. To provide further redundancy and prevent unneeded switchovers, status or heartbeat messages are transmitted between the active main equipment and standby redundant equipment over two different networks.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Jianming Xu, Charles Marvin Berteau, Ghassan Naim, Seshagiri Rao Madhavapeddy, Pardeep Kohli, Shiang Yueng Feng

Patent number: 7263354Abstract: Provided is a method and system for enabling mobile devices, radio access networks (RANs), and core networks (CNs) based on different specifications and underlying technologies to communicate. The mobile device and the RAN may be based on one technology, such as a code division multiple access (CDMA) specification, while the CN may be based on another technology, such as a global system for mobile communications (GSM) specification. The method takes a CDMA message received by the RAN, converts it into a corresponding GSM message, and passes it to the CN. Alternatively, a new GSM message may be created. Similarly, a GSM message from the CN may be converted into a CDMA message (or a new CDMA message may be created) and the CDMA message passed on to the RAN. The method may also initiate a function or procedure in one portion of a network using one technology when a certain message is received from another portion of the network using a different technology.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2002Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Alcatel Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Ghassan Naim, Jianming Xu, Pardeep Kohli, Seshagiri R.

Patent number: 7197334Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for migrating a control of a wireless communication service provided to a mobile station (MS) in a first network depending on a first technology to a second network depending on a second technology. When receiving a request for the wireless communication service in the first network by a mobile switch center (MSC), at least one instruction is obtained to grant or deny the wireless communication service from a first control device in the second network, the first control device providing the instruction based on its communication to a management subsystem for the control of the wireless communication service. If the wireless communication service is granted, a second control device in the first network controlled by the first control device allows the MS to execute the wireless communication service with a receiver.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Alcatel Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Pardeep Kohli, Seshagiri Rao Madhavapeddy, Jianming Xu, Ghassan Naim
