Abstract: A device is configured to receive a user request that identifies a floor plan, and to provide the floor plan on a first portion of a user interface. The device is configured to receive, from another device, information that identifies workspaces associated with the floor plan, and to provide, on a second portion of the user interface, one or more workspace objects associated with the workspaces. The device is configured to receive a user selection of a particular workspace object and a portion of the floor plan, and to provide, on the first portion of the user interface associated with the selected portion of the floor plan, a representation of the particular workspace object.

Abstract: A method for enabling security on a mobile terminal having a communication link with a circuit switched network against suspicious activities is provided. Activities performed at the mobile terminal are performed according to a security policy provided from the circuit switched network. Detection of a suspicious activity is alerted to the circuit switched network when the suspicious activity is detected. A policy manager server of the circuit switched network changes the security policy to cure the suspicious activity on the mobile terminal. Call traffic delivered to/sent from the mobile terminal is filtered out, which causes the suspicious activity according to the security policy. The mobile terminal enforces a security measure on a suspicious activity according to the security policy.

Abstract: Content may be preemptively delivered to mobile devices in a wireless network using multicast delivery techniques. In one implementation, a method may include analyzing network traffic of a number of users; determining, based on the analysis, whether a content item is a popular content item, as determined by requests for the content item from the users; and transmitting, a signal, in response to the determination, to schedule preemptive multicast delivery of the content item to mobile devices. The multicast delivery may be performed over one or more radio interfaces in which multiple mobile devices receive the content item over a shared radio channel.

Abstract: A system provides Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) to mobile stations through a wireless communication network for person-to-person traffic and traffic to/from an application. The network may include a plurality of Multimedia Messaging Service Centers (MMSCs) coupled to the wireless communication network for MMS communication between two mobile stations, and between a mobile station and an application during call origination mode operations. A second MMSC coupled to the wireless communication network, provides MMS communications between mobile stations and one or more applications during call termination mode operations. In a mobile origination mode operation, the second MMSC concentrates signaling from the first MMSCs and forwards received MMS data, and in a mobile termination mode operations, the second MMSC delivers MMS data to a destination mobile station without forwarding the MMS data to one of the first MMSCs.

Abstract: Various types of information from a wireless communications network, including E911 location information, Hand Off (HO) information, and Power information, as well as other Measurements and System Parameters, are collected and analyzed by a Data Collection and Filtering system, and the results of this analysis are provided to a Network Control system to dynamically control the operation of the wireless communications network. The various optimizations that can be performed by the Network Control system include: (1) dynamically allocating radio frequency (RF) signal power, (2) setting dynamic dedicated handoff (HO) thresholds for individual mobile transceivers; and (3) intelligently forming or steering radio frequency (RF) signal beams.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for activating a telematics unit, particularly with respect to wireless communication service through a mobile network, e.g. to re-activate a unit that was previously de-activated. In a detailed example, a user initiates a unique action such as a two-button push or holding down certain buttons on the telematics unit, which causes the unit to initiate a call to the telematics service provider (TSP), e.g. by dialing a cleared number. The serving wireless switch routes the cleared number call to the TSP, who will gather user information and activate the unit for telematics service. The TSP then forwards an activation request identifying the unit, to the network operator. The operator updates its systems in a manner to enable downloading of provisioning data, typically including a mobile directory number/mobile identification number (MDN/MIN), to the telematics unit through the mobile wireless network.

Abstract: Quick wireless access for data network communication is provided to a data device by provision of an access management unit incorporated in the data device. A default network access identifier (NAI), unique to the data device, permits limited access to a wireless network provider's provisioning platform so that the device can be authenticated and access to a data network authorized for a preset service period. Replenishment for a new service period may be provided.

Abstract: A message originates from a mobile station which is operable within a wireless network. In disclosed examples, the wireless network has a Messaging Service Center (MSC). The MSC determines whether the MSC stores a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) corresponding to a destination mobile directory number (MDN) that is inputted via the mobile station. Then, the MSC sends the message to the URI corresponding to the MDN if the first MSC stores the URI corresponding to the MDN. The MSC sends a request to find the URI corresponding to the destination MDN to an external tElephone NUmber Mapping (ENUM) server, if the first MSC does not store the URI corresponding to the destination MDN. The MSC sends the message to the URI corresponding to the destination MDN if the external ENUM server sends the URI corresponding to the destination MDN.

Abstract: Prepaid PTT service calls through a switched mobile communication network may originate at off-net roaming locations. A flag is set in a mobile telephone station indicating that the mobile station is that of a prepaid subscriber, to set a PTT client program to its “prepaid mode.” When the prepaid mobile station initiates a PTT call while roaming off-net, the call is directed to a prepaid server, and the PTT client program assists the subscriber to re-enter the called number when the prepaid server prompts the subscriber to do so. The call can then be extended from the prepaid server platform to a PTT switch for establishing communication with one or more selected contacts in a contact list, based on translation of the contact number to one or more destination telephone numbers for the called contact(s).

Abstract: A first message server is placed in a first geographic location, a second message server is placed in a second geographic location, and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) metrics are used to properly route traffic to a surviving message server if one geographic location is destroyed.

Abstract: A data communication system has security gateway redundancy for mobile terminal access. A first security gateway provides a first secured communications link between a first mobile user terminal and a telecommunications network over an intermediary network. A second security gateway provides a second secured communications link between a second mobile user terminal and the telecommunications network over the intermediary network. A redundancy mechanism provides a third secured communications link between the second mobile user terminal and the telecommunications network over the first security gateway, when the second security gateway fails.

Abstract: Vocoding conversions are reduced by dynamically loading a software-defined vocoder into a handset. The software-defined vocoder may be selected based on the calling party's network type, wherein a notification of network type is transmitted to the called party's network during call setup. The software-defined vocoders may be stored in the network and downloaded into the handset; alternatively, the software-defined vocoders may be stored in the handset. Voice data is tunneled from the calling party's handset and the calling party's network, through any number of different networks, to the called party's network and called party's handset, without any vocoding conversions, except at the handsets.

Abstract: Various techniques ate present for enhancing the quality of service on wireless communications systems. These techniques determine when errors occur in transmitted frames, then apply Bit Error Rate Power Control, Power-Based Re-Transmission, and Sub-Frame Selective Repeat methods to these errors. Consequently, the handling of frame errors consumes fewer resources in the wireless communications systems.

Abstract: Bluetooth networks, also known as wireless local loop, are integrated with cellular networks, so that the two networks can inter-operate with devices enabled for both types of networks.
