Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods for detecting neighboring cells in a communication network based on Transmission Parameter Signaling (TPS) bits received in a signaling frame. In one example, a signaling frame contains a field of TPS bits that indicate a type of the signaling frame. The type of the signaling frame may indicate the information carried in the signaling frame as information of a current cell or a neighboring cell. The signaling frame may further include information from a neighboring cell in the same network or a different network as the current cell. The signaling frame may further be arranged in a superframe in which the a plurality of frames are transmitted to a receiver in a certain sequence. Each frame in a superframe or a sequence of frames may include a parameter for defining the location of the frame.
Abstract: The exemplary embodiments include a method to perform, based on at least one of hypertext transport protocol and non-hypertext transport protocol traffic tests failing, sending an hypertext transport protocol message to a subscription remediation server URI that carries a package1 message, receiving an hypertext transport protocol response from the subscription mediation server with a package2 message, and automatically replacing a password with a new value, automatically initiating creation of a new client certificate, or launching a browser to a URI provided in the response to enable user intervention. In addition, to receive an access request from a device, determining whether credentials are valid, and if the credentials are determined valid, sending an access-accept message with a success indication, and if the credentials are determined not valid, sending an access-accept message with a success indication and an indication that access by the device is limited to only a subscription remediation server.

Abstract: A mechanism or technique is provided for a MIHF to discover the events and the type of information (for the information service) available in another MIHF to be able to subscribe to such events. The mechanism allows one instance of the MIHF to publish (push model) the event it supports and therefore capable to report to another instance of the MIHF (e.g. the first being in the terminal and the second one in the network). Also, the mechanism allows one instance of the MIHF to request (pull model) whether a specific event is supported by another instance of the MIHF (e.g. the first being in the network and the second one in the terminal), or to request the whole list of events supported.
Abstract: A method, and apparatus and computer program for enabling the method, the method comprising: detecting a user input at a first apparatus and, in response to the detection of the user input, selecting content wherein the content is stored at a remote server; establishing a communication link with a second apparatus wherein the second apparatus is different from the first apparatus; transmitting information indicative of the location of the selected stored content over the established communication link to the second apparatus; receiving identification information from the second apparatus over the established communication link wherein the identification information enables at least the user of the second apparatus to be identified; and transmitting information to the remote server to enable a user associated with the received identification information to access the selected stored content.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments described herein, there is provided an apparatus which comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform certain steps. Firstly, the apparatus is caused to present, in response to detection of first touch signalling on a particular portion of a touch-sensitive display, a magnified view of at least that particular portion of the touch-sensitive display and an indicator positioned corresponding to the detected position of the first touch signalling. Secondly, the apparatus is caused to, upon release of the first touch signalling, maintain the magnified view of that particular portion and the positioned indicator for a predetermined period.
Abstract: The invention is a system and method of controlling an access of a subscriber to a network. The method includes sending an identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber from a visited network of a plurality of networks (12, 14, 16) connected to a home network (10); in response to the identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber, storing a subscriber profile of the authorized of access to be provided to the subscriber; and controlling access of the subscriber to any network dependent upon a comparison of access to be provided to the subscriber and the stored subscriber profile.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing a trust level to access a resource. A system receives a request at a device, from a first user, to access a resource associated with a second user. The resource is further associated with a predetermined privacy level. The system calculates a trust level between the first user and the second user based, at least in part, on a trust metric. The system then determines whether the trust level meets the predetermined privacy level and grants an access right to the resource based, at least in part, on the determination.
