Abstract: A method and system for indicating quality of a radio frame transmitted over a wireless link includes receiving a radio frame from the wireless link. A power indicator for the radio frame is determined based on a power control trend of the wireless link. A quality indicator for the radio frame is generated based on the power indicator.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for passing information required by a wireless procedure in a hybrid wireless network (300) before the procedure is invoked, the hybrid wireless network (300) having at least one radio access network (304, 306, 307) based on a first technology and a core network (302) based on a second technology. The hybrid network (300) implements a special mobile switching center (308) to be a “double agent” passing information between the mobile terminal (310, 320, 364) and entities in its core network (302). In the context of messaging, the message contents may be encoded, packaged, and decoded appropriately. The present disclosure does not introduce any changes to telecommunication standards such as the GSM and CDMA standards governing the messaging process.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for an internet audio gateway (114) for delivering data based audio content to devices that are incapable of receiving and processing such content in the data form or where the device is capable of receiving and processing such data but the network (110) is not capable of delivering such content.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for providing data services to a wireless mobile in a hybrid network.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for passing information or message contents between a mobile terminal (310 and 320) and various networks entities (350) in a hybrid wireless network (300). The hybrid network (300) implements a special mobile switching center (308) to be a “double agent” passing information between the mobile terminal (310 and 320) and entities (350) in its core network (302). In the context of messaging, the message contents may be encoded, packaged, and decoded appropriately. The present disclosure does not introduce any changes to telecommunication standards such as the GSM and CDMA standards governing the messaging process (304 and 306).

Abstract: Advertisement response probabilities are utilized to alter advertisement scores. A plurality of possible advertisements is accessed from, for example, an advertisement database or advertisement pipeline. A response probability for each advertisement is determined. A response probability may be a probability that a user will “click,” or otherwise select an advertisement. Advertisements may be associated with probabilistic prediction models that take advertisement recipient attribute values as inputs and provide a probability distribution as output. A score associated with each of the possible advertisements is altered based on the response probability for each of the advertisements. Statistical prediction is used to determine how scores are to be altered. Advertisements with response probabilities less than a mean probability may have associated scores decreased. Conversely, advertisements with response probabilities greater than a mean probability may have associated scores increased.
