  • Patent number: 6970443
    Abstract: A method is described of automatically locating and connecting a mobile wireless communications device to a packet-switched network such as the Internet. An Internet Protocol (IP) packet from a terminal on the network, destined for receipt by the mobile device, is received at a home agent acting as a gateway or router linking the packet switched network to a second network, such as LAN, coupled to a wireless communications network. The home agent transmits an access-request message to an authentication server. The access-request message includes a destination IP address associated with the mobile device found in the IP packet. The authentication server responsively issues an access-accept message to the home agent if the mobile device is authorized to receive the IP packet. The access-accept message comprises (a) information uniquely identifying said device, such as the IMSI/ESN number for the device, and (b) information identifying a network to use to locate said device.

  • Patent number: 6970498
    Abstract: The RF receiver for the CDMA mobile communication BTS system according to the present invention realizes the system with an analog down-converter to process multiple FA's and generate IF signals of 70 MHz having a bandwidth corresponding to the multiple FA's with a mixer, and a digital down-converter to digitally process the respective FA's through A/D conversion of the IF signals of 70 MHz, allowing simple multi-FA(3FA)-based expansion. Also, the system needs only one analog down-converter for simultaneously processing 3 FA's and one digital down-converter for digitally processing the IF signals from the analog down-converter by FA's to down-convert the IF signals to baseband signals, thereby reducing the size of the system and hence the hardware cost. The system can be implemented with higher stability by digitally processing the down-conversion of the analog IF signals of multiple FA's to the baseband signals.

  • Patent number: 6965587
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a CDMA channel in a base transceiver station (BTS). The method for operating the CDMA channel in the BTS includes variably generating a CDMA channel list message transmitted from the BTS to a mobile station (MS) in a CDMA mobile communication system according to the BTS and a frequency allocation (FA) within the BTS, so as to variably operate the CDMA channel by the BTS and the FA. The method according to an embodiment of the present invention also includes variably allocating a CDMA frequency number group by the BTS and the FA in accordance with a CDMA channel index, a CDMA channel ID, and a CDMA channel kind, so that the CDMA channel is operated between BTSs and further by the FA, independently, thereby optimizing the CDMA frequency operation between the BTS and the MS.

  • Publication number: 20050238031
    Abstract: A method and system for supporting, at a PDSN, simultaneous data sessions on dissimilar access networks. A PDSN has a first network communication interface for connection to a first network, a second network communication interface for connection to a second network, and a protocol abstraction routine executable by a processing unit. The PDSN can use the protocol abstraction routine to identify if a data packet is associated with a first RP transfer protocol or a second RP transfer protocol. After making the determination, the protocol abstraction routine can decapsulate or encapsulate the data packet according to the associated RP transfer protocol, for transmission to the first network or the second network.

  • Publication number: 20050232235
    Abstract: An Ethernet link connects a wireless switch and an interworking function (IWF). Both signaling information and bearer data are exchanged over the Ethernet link. The Ethernet-based interface enables wireless switch companies to keep their 2G customer base without having to deploy additional third party equipment. In order to make the Ethernet link function, an IWF chassis is modified to connect an Access Router card to a PRI card. The Access Router card packetizes and de-packetizes data to and from the PSTN. Additionally, a protocol is implemented between an application card and the Access Router card so that the application card can communicate signaling information to the Access Router card.

  • Patent number: 6956846
    Abstract: A system and methods are shown for selecting a packet data serving node (PDSN) for a mobile node in a mobile Internet Protocol network. One method includes responsively to receiving on a first foreign agent control node (FACN) from a radio node a registration request message and determining that a mobile profile associated with a mobile node specified in the registration request is not available at the first FACN, sending from the first FACN to a second FACN a query request message including a request for the mobile profile. If the second FACN includes the requested mobile profile, the second FACN sends it to the first FACN using a query response message. When the first FACN receives the query response message, the first FACN makes a determination that the mobile profile includes a network address of the last serving PDSN.
