Abstract: In an embodiment, a UE determines to load a web page via a mobile browsing application on the UE. The UE obtains, from a web server, web page resource information for loading the web page on the UE. The UE loads the web page using the web page resource information and identifies one or more hints for assisting one or more mobile browsing applications on at least one other UE to perform an initial load of the web page, which the UE then reports to a hints server. The hints server collects hints from the UE as well as other UEs, evaluates their relevance and generates and/or updates a crowd-sourced hints list based on their perceived relevance. The hints server provides the crowd-sourced hints list to a target UE, and the target UE uses the crowd-sourced hints list to load the web page.

Abstract: In an embodiment, data scheduled for transmission by an apparatus is determined to include multiple elements with (i) a first portion of substantially non-redundant information and (ii) a second portion with information that is redundant to each of the multiple elements. The apparatus generates a composite representation of the redundant information, and transmits the composite representation of the redundant information to a recipient. The recipient determines reconstruction information by which the composite representation of the redundant information can be used in conjunction with the first portions of the substantially non-redundant information to reconstruct the multiple elements. After obtaining the first portions of the substantially non-redundant information, the recipient reconstructs the multiple elements based on the first portions of the substantially non-redundant information, the reconstruction information and the composite representation of the redundant information.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a proxy server delivers, to a UE, a set of rules to be enforced by a management application executing thereon. The set of rules includes at least one rule that instructs the management application to selectively intercept and apply data payload modifications to data being exchanged being a transport layer stack (e.g., a TCP/IP stack) and one or more client applications on the UE based on (i) a packet-state related to a data payload of the data (ii) a device-state associated with the UE, (iii) an application-state associated with an application from which the data originates or to which the data is targeted and/or (iv) a network-state associated with a serving network of the UE. The management application on the UE can enforce the set of rules for UE-terminated data (e.g., data downloaded to the UE) or UE-originated data (e.g., data to be uploaded from the UE).

Abstract: A system and method for achieving or assisting dynamic transfer of call support information across a network including at least a wireless portion coupled to a wireless communication device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for billing a user associated with a mobile service for a VoIP call made by the user using a wireless local area network are disclosed The VOIP call can be received by a local area network. At least a portion of the VoIP call is decoded to obtain session information related to the VoIP call including information identifying the user. The VoIP call is coupled to a public data network. At least a portion of the session information is sent to a provider of the mobile service, to bill the user, and not an owner of the wireless local area network, for the VoIP call. A credit is initiated to an account associated with said owner of the wireless local area network to prevent the owner from incurring charges associated with the VoIP call.

Abstract: A system and method for achieving or assisting dynamic transfer of call support information across a network including at least a wireless portion coupled to a wireless communication device. The call support information providing the wireless communication device with updated caller identification and status or presence information by way of a service or server provisioned product and method.

Abstract: A method for billing a subscriber to a cellular telephone service for a VoIP call made by the subscriber, the method including determining when a subscriber to a cellular telephone service places a telephone call to a remote device using a local device associated with the subscription, where the telephone call has at least one VoIP call leg, capturing session information related to the telephone call, including information identifying the subscriber, and providing the information to a provider of the cellular telephone service, thereby enabling the cellular telephone service provider to bill the subscriber for the VoIP call.

Abstract: A system and method for providing conference calls in a client-server environment is described.
