Abstract: When a network pages the temporary user mobile identifier of a mobile station, the mobile station sends a response to the network. Next, the network checks the authenticity of the user using a ciphering key, corresponding to the temporary user mobile identifier and a random number. If the temporary user mobile identifier is authenticated, a normal incoming call acceptance procedure is executed. If the mobile station is authenticated although the temporary user mobile identifier is wrong, the network reassigns a new temporary user mobile identifier to the mobile station and stops the current communication. In communication, the network and the mobile station mutually notify encipherment-onset time and negotiate about encipherment manner with each other. In addition, diversity handover is commenced upon a call attempt. Furthermore, if a branch replacement is necessary, the current branch is replaced by new branches capable of executing the diversity handover.

Abstract: Response time estimation is provided to forecast the response times of a telecommunications device, particularly, a media gateway (206a . . . n). A soft switch (216) switches communication data in a telecommunications network. A call feature server (202) performs call control functions. At least one media gateway (206a) for providing access to telecommunications transmission facilities. A packet manager (204) coupled to both the call feature server (216) and the media gateway (206a) implements message protocol conversion and call flow setup. The packet manager (204) includes a response time estimation module (208) for preventing traffic overload of the media gateway (206a) by the call feature server (202). Message retransmission times for the soft switch (216) are processed by the response time estimation module (208) based on empirical response times from the media gateway (206a) according to a exponential smoothing function.

Abstract: By selecting access points specific to the various components of call-content of a call, a monitoring agency is ensured of obtaining the call-content of each participant in telephone call irrespective of call transfers and network reconfiguration. Devices in the telecommunications system such as network devices can provide appropriate access. Examples of suitable network devices may include gateway, an access gateways, trunk gateways, portals, ATM switches, routers, and border elements.

Abstract: The writing address supply part 210 supplies writing addresses for writing the bits forming bit sequences corresponding to the header H contained in a frame to be transmitted or stored and bit sequences corresponding to the data D, into the operating memory 220. The reading address supply part 230 alternately supplies to the operating memory 220 a plurality of addresses for reading a plurality of continuous bits corresponding to the header H from the operating memory 220, and an address for reading 1 bit corresponding to the data D from the operating memory 220, and reads the bit sequence such that the bits forming the bit sequence corresponding to the header H are scattered and arranged within the bit sequence forming the data D, from the operating memory. In accordance with such an interleaving device, it is possible to individually randomize frames according to their constituent data, and it is possible to transmit the bits that make up such data in a format which is most suited for said data.

Abstract: Among cellular radio communication systems, there are those in which a plurality of businesses, e.g. businesses A, B and C share a designated frequency band, and each business provides radio communication services using respectively allotted frequency bands. In this type of radio communication system, there are cases in which mobile stations belonging to different businesses use channels which have adjacent frequencies, in which case adjacent channel interference of a large interference level is produced. Therefore, in this radio communication system, of the frequency bands allotted to each business, the adjacent frequency bands which are adjacent to frequency bands allotted to other businesses are allotted to low power communications, while non-adjacent frequency bands which are not adjacent to frequency bands allotted to other businesses are allotted to high power communications.

Abstract: In a communication system, a buffer is provided at or between a transmitting device and a receiving device. When the transmitting device is unable to send a stream of media packets or the receiving device is unable to render the stream of media packets, the buffer stores the media packets, and the size of the buffer is reduced when the transmitting device is able to send the stream of media packets and/or the receiving device is able to render the stream of packets.

Abstract: The public Internet is the world's largest system of inter-networked computers. Adequate security means for protecting sensitive data communicated over the Internet is not, however, provided. The present invention, therefore, provides a system and method for performing secure transactions over an insecure packet-switched communication network. This is achieved by interconnecting a number of master nodes over the insecure communication network. The master nodes are capable of transmitting encrypted data packets over the insecure network via pseudo-random communication paths. The master nodes are further capable of returning to any state in a secure transaction in the event of a network failure. The master nodes are also capable of using new keys to encrypt each data packet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile communication system including a network constituted of at least one switching center and a plurality of base stations, and a mobile station which communicates with the base stations simultaneously. The system permits varying transmission delay between the switching center and the base stations according to the type of services available to the mobile station. The object of the present invention is to propose a communication which permits varying transmission delay according to the type of service currently employed, and to promptly recover a synchronization state even if an out-of-sync state happens. To attain the object, a memory means (mobile switching center processor 32) stores transmission delay characteristics corresponding to services which are available to the mobile station.

Abstract: A signal transmission method checks, when detecting an occurrence of a communication request, whether the communication request is a high speed communication (step S302). In the case of the high speed communication, it checks whether the number of current high speed communications (m) plus one is greater than the upper limit (mmax) of the high speed communication (step S312). If greater, it cancels the request as a call loss (S316), and sets to a variable a the ratio (h) of the rate of the high speed communication to that of a low speed communication. If the communication request is the low speed communication, it sets one to the variable a (step S304). It compares n plus a with nmax (step S306), where n is the total number of all the current communications, a is the value associated with the communication request, and nmax is the upper limit of the number of communications acceptable in a bandwidth, all of which are expressed in terms of the number of the low speed communications.

Abstract: ThunderCall is a computer based system for delivering NWS(National Weather Service) severe weather warnings as a message (personalized information, if desired) via an automated dialing system to live persons and to automated recorders comprising the steps of: forming a database of names with their respective geographic locations; capturing a NWS Bulletin reciting the location of a severe storm; validating a relevant Bulletin into a Valid Bulletin by determining from the storm's location that it represents an imminent severe storm danger to at least one person of said database (capable of 10,000,000 or more persons) recording, if desired, an individual personal urgent warning to the name of the intended recipient of the Valid Bulletin; combining, if desired, said personal warning with a generic severe storm warning for said recipient; and, sending said Valid Bulletin with said combined warnings to said person whereby he is alerted within seconds of the release time of said National Weather Service bulletin to
