Abstract: An event based location-based service may provide a location of a device to members of group(s) associated with the device. A network server may receive an indication of an event from an event notification system. Upon receiving the indication of the event, the network server may determine a region of the event and a location of the device within the region. Upon determining the region of the event and the location of the device, the network server may determine an entity associated with the device. Upon determining the entity associated with the device, the network server may determine communication address for the group(s). The network server may provide the location of the device to the members of group(s) via the communication address.

Abstract: An intelligent machine-to-machine (iM2M) device may collaborate with other reserve devices to perform functions. An iM2M device may determine if it has the necessary resources to respond to a request. Upon determining that the resources needed to provide a response to the request are not available in the iM2M device, the iM2M device may send a help request to other devices, such as a reserve, farm, and/or network (collectively referred to as a farm) of M2M, iM2M devices, and/or other appropriate devices. The iM2M device may negotiate with farm devices so that the farm devices may generate, at least in part, a response to the request, or provide the needed resources, at least in part, to the iM2M device. The farm devices may send respective responses back to the originating iM2M device. The originating iM2M device may, in turn, respond to the original request.

Abstract: A method of selecting a distribution list for a voice mail message. The steps include identifying a group of recipients with whom to share the voice mail message, creating a user profile which includes voice mail preferences of a subscriber and the group of recipients, the preferences including an indication as whether to share the voice mail message with the group of recipients and distributing the voice mail message based on the preferences.

Abstract: A method of managing visual voice mail in a multi-screen environment. The method includes receiving voice mail messages in a server, creating a state machine for each message, pushing a visual voice mail notification to at least three devices, receiving an action command from one of the three devices and updating the state machine responsive to the receiving step.

Abstract: Data may be processed based on a type of application, a user, a type of device, a user profile, and/or a device profile. Data may be processed, in real time as it is received. The data may be segmented and/or partitioned into portions. For each portion, a user identifier associated with the portion may be determined. For each portion, an application associated with the portion may be determined. For each portion, a device associated with the portion may be determined. It may be determined whether a portion of the data is to be further processed based on the user identifier, the application, and/or the device. A portion of data that is to be further processed may be prioritized, directed to specific processing, and/or classified. Subsequent procession, and/or storage, of a portion of data may be based a result of at least one of the prioritizing, the directing, and/or the classifying.

An iM2M device may determine if it has the necessary resources to respond to a request. Upon determining that the resources needed to provide a response to the request are not available in the iM2M device, the iM2M device may negotiate with other devices in order to obtain a response to the request and/or resources to respond to the request. The other devices may send respective responses and/or resource back to the iM2M device. The iM2M device may, in turn, respond to the request.

Abstract: A downstream device in a network may monitor and collect data on its condition, including detecting overload conditions, and transmit such data to an upstream network device. The upstream network device may select a best downstream device for a particular traffic flow based on condition data received from downstream devices and transmit the traffic flow to the selected downstream device. A network management server may be configured to perform similar functions, instructing network devices on how to transport data through a network based on condition data received from such devices.

Abstract: Management of a network may be accomplished by adjusting timer settings and/or retry criteria. For example, communications and management from an end-to-end perspective of entities in a network may be conducted; timers and/or retry criteria may be adjusted dynamically based on network traffic load; timers and/or retry criteria may be adjusted dynamically based on overload conditions; feedback mechanisms may be implemented to allow downstream network elements to inform upstream network elements about the health status and/or load condition of the network; and/or differentiated timer and retry criteria/mechanisms may be implemented.

Abstract: Visual voicemail privacy protection is implemented by requiring a credential from a user or a user device before providing voicemail data to the user. The credential may be a user name and password combination, a digital certificate, or the like. The user may enable or disable this privacy protection feature at will. A first device being used for visual voicemail services may detect a second device within a defined area around the first device and either enable or disable privacy protection features based on whether the second device is determined to be an authorized or unauthorized device. Privacy protection features may be implemented locally or remotely.

Abstract: An MME may request QoS and/or APN parameters from an HSS that may determine whether the MME is approaching or exceeds a threshold number of requested or supportable bearers. The HSS may adjust the QoS/APN parameters based on the threshold determination. The number of bearer requests or established bearers and the total number of supportable bearers may be calculated by the HSS or provided by the MME. The HSS may also take into account the status of other MMEs in the network in adjusting QoS/APN parameters. Upon detecting heavy signaling traffic from a UE, an HSS may take steps, or instruct a policy manager, to reduce or prevent traffic from the UE.

Abstract: A method may comprise receiving, at a server configured in a long term evolution network, information indicative of a condition of utilization of a first radio access technology resource accessible by a user device. If the condition of utilization indicates an adverse network condition, then the server may transmit a change command instructing the user device to migrate to a second radio access technology resource.

Abstract: A device may connect a data session for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to a long term evolution network and during the data session receive a voice call request for the WTRU. In addition the device may prioritize the voice call request compared to the data session and direct the voice call to a network device based on the prioritization.

Abstract: A mobile device may be configured with multiple access point names (APNs) including a roaming APN and a non-roaming APN. After a mobile device determines whether it is roaming, it may transmit a service request with the corresponding APN. The network may then select a profile based on the APN that may include quality of service parameters and other parameters for servicing the mobile device. The profile may be obtained from a local home location register or a remote home location register.
