Patent number: 11265695Abstract: A mobile device, via a roaming platform, can switch IMSIs (e.g., Home IMSI-1, Roamer IMSI-2, etc.) depending on a location of the mobile device. Upon switching IMSIs, the roaming platform can forward the update location to an HLR of the home network and roaming network. If the MMSC on the home network receives an MMS message, the MMSC on the home network may query the HLR for a current location. From the query, if the message recipient is roaming, the MMSC on the home network may communicate with the MMSC on the roaming network to deliver the message. As a result, the roaming network can handle the routing of the message without a data session routed back through the home network.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Mehul Shah, Chingming Chao

Patent number: 11228937Abstract: Embodiments concern managing traffic in a radio device. While classifying user-plane packets from multiple applications according to quality of service requirements, a specific user-plane packet is classified as/determined to be a predetermined special-type packet (e.g., the special-type packets establish a new TCP/IP connection for a newly activated application). Based on that, that specific user-plane packet is mapped to a pre-defined radio bearer associated with a preconfigured priority, for example a highest priority among all bearers to which any of these user-plane packets from the multiple applications are mapped. Then all the mapped user-plane packets are scheduled for transmission according to their respective priorities. For example, the specific user-plane packet could be a SDU having a SYN, SYN-ACK or ACK, and the network convergence sub-layer (NCS) constructs a L2 NCS PDU using a designated format with the SDU in the payload and context information in the header.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Vinh Van Phan, Ling Yu, Samuli Turtinen, Anand Bedekar, Amaanat Ali

Patent number: 11218482Abstract: A two-way information exchange system, which allows a requesting client employing an intelligent communication device to conduct information exchange with a target client, includes a communication module, a memory module, an authentication module, a selection module, a central processing module, an evaluation module, and an authorization module. The central processing module can search for one online client meeting the exchange condition provided from the requesting client to be served as a primary target client, and search the memory module for one or more clients meeting the exchange condition to be served as false target clients. The central processing module can send the identity data of the target clients to the intelligent communication device, and receive/send exchange information between the clients.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Among Net Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ching-Yun Chen
