Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving QoS mechanisms during bandwidth allocation in CDMA mobile communication systems, characterized in that the user terminal signals the minimal bandwidth (bit rate) which is required to the mobile communication system and a bandwith within said range is allocated to the radio interface when available. As a result, the opportunities provided by the user terminal and the bandwith available in the radio cell are used as efficiently as possible.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the registration of a communication terminal with a IMS services network via at least one communications network. According to the present invention, it is checked on the part of a network element of the IMS services network whether the communication terminal is currently IMS registered. If the communication terminal is not currently IMS registered, an IMS registration procedure is automatically initiated in the communication terminal by transmitting a Short Message SMS to the communication terminal, the Short Message containing an IMS registration request. On receipt of the SMS the communication terminal automatically registers with the IMS.

Abstract: A method for the transmission of audio signals between a transmitter and at least one receiver operates according to the prioritizing pixel transmission method. The audio signal is first broken down into a number of spectral fractions. The broken-down audio signal is stored in a two-dimensional array with a plurality of fields. The dimensions to be registered in the field are frequency and time; the value to be registered in the field is amplitude. Groups are then formed from the individual fields and a priority is assigned to the individual groups, in which the priority will be gauged as higher if the amplitudes of the group values are higher, and/or if the amplitude differences of the values of one group are higher, and/or if the groups are closer to actual time. Finally, the groups are transmitted to the receiver according to the order of their established priority.

Abstract: A method for automatically adapting to the capabilities of a data transmitting terminal a device supplying data to said terminal requesting the data.

Abstract: A method and a system for operating a radio communication network which is characterized in that a first radio communication network uses at least one function of a second radio communication network by connecting the first radio communication network to at least one module of the second radio communication network.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the transmission of additional information when using a method for compressing data by means of a prioritizing pixel transmission, said data consisting of individual pixel groups, each of which comprises a positional value within an image array and at least one pixel value. The minimum size of the image array is defined by the height (h) and the width (b) of an image, expressed in pixels. The invention is characterized by the fact that positional values which do not occur in the actual data but lie outside the range of the image array are used during the transmission of additional information.

Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure and a structure to handle short messages under phone number portability between multiple telecommunications networks, where the phone numbers do not permit an unambiguous linkage of the user to a specific telecommunication network and where several attempts at delivery of the short messages are normally required. In order to accelerate routing in subsequent attempts at delivery and to avoid unnecessary routing queries, the invention proposes that all or part of the parameters or data associated with the first attempt at delivery, particularly the target information, be preferably stored in the SMSC or the SMS-GMSC in order to be reused, at least in part, in subsequent attempts at delivery.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the provision of operator-specific performance features of different mobile radio network operators for a mobile radio customer, whereby the mobile radio customer has a smart card, on which a user relationship for the mobile radio customer with a mobile radio network operator is stored. The method is characterized in that at least two user relationships are defined on the smart card of the mobile radio customer with differing mobile radio call numbers and with independent performance features and a mobile radio network operator is assigned to each user relationship.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing storage space in a storage medium of digital terminal equipment for data storage according to the prioritized pixel transmission method, wherein multiple files with pixel groups sorted according to priorities are saved to the storage medium, wherein the method comprises the following steps: definition of a lower priority threshold value and an upper priority threshold value, wherein the priority threshold values indirectly indicate how much information content of a file is stored on the storage medium, storage of files in the form of their pixel groups with the highest priority down to a priority corresponding to the selected lower priority threshold value until the available storage space of the storage medium has been filled, increasing of the lower priority threshold value by one priority level; deletion of all pixel groups with a lower priority than that of the current priority threshold value on the storage medium, use of the freed storage space in the stor

Abstract: A method for determining charges in real time for value-added services in a telecommunication network, having an intelligent network structure, in which a caller selects a value-added service by dialing an associated destination number. This destination number is intercepted in an intelligent network element of the telecommunication network and is converted into a special access number for the value-added service. A connection is established between the intelligent network element and the value-added service provider through the use of this destination number. The value-added service provider transmits the applicable rate for the use of the requested value-added service to the mobile telephone network operator in the form of a new destination number for the requested value-added service. The new destination number is evaluated in the intelligent network element and a connection is established between the caller and the value-added service with the new destination number at the stated rate.

Abstract: A method for providing and billing WIM functionalities in mobile communication terminals. The method is characterized in that the WIM internally counts each of the signatures initiated by the subscriber, wherein the signature function is blocked when a given number of signatures has been reached. No further signatures are possible until the counter has been reset by means of a release/reload-type operation and a corresponding billing has taken place.

Abstract: In a call-centre, external telephone calls form customers are distributed to terminals so that they can be answered by agents. The invention relates to a method for operating a call-centre, wherein an external call is initially connected to a free terminal. If an interruption in the conversation occurs, a message recorded by the agent is stored and the connection is allocated automatically. The call is transferred to a separate waiting line. The caller can initialise a new connection to a free terminal i.e. to the same terminal or to a different agent. During the new connection, the message belonging to the waiting connection is automatically played back, whereby the interrupted conversation with the client can be continued in a problem free manner. The inventive method increases the productivity of the call-centres without changing the high level of service.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of redialing in telecommunication networks for a call back when not engaged, whereby a caller carries out a call attempt to reach a callee, whereby the callee does not respond at firs. According to the invention, the callee may be reached without the caller having to continually undertake a further call attempt, whereby a radialling is automatically carried out by the relevant exchange within a given time window at given time periods and a connection to the callee is established should the same respond.
