During operations requiring higher level functionality, the primary applications processor, primary display and primary keyboard are awakened to provide the necessary capability.

Abstract: One detects (101) (for example, via a wireless control node (600)) the handing off of a call session for a mobile station from either a CDMA wireless environment to an 802.16(e)-compatible wireless environment or vice versa. In either case, one then maintains (102) a substantially uninterrupted Internet Protocol data session portion of that call session notwithstanding the handing off of the call session for the mobile station.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a structure of a Management Information Base (MIB) communicated between a Network Management System (NMS) and an agent of a Network Element (NE). Conventionally, an operator provides the MIB to the NMS and the NE agent before the communication. If the MIB is not provided before the communication, the NMS cannot know what data to be retrieved from the NE agent and thus cannot understand the MIB. In order to resolve this problem, the present invention suggests using the claimed structure of MIB for communicating between the NMS and the NE agent. According to the present invention, when a MIB of the NE agent is changed, the MIB of the NE agent is reflected to the NMS automatically, and not by an operator's action. Therefore, the network can be managed automatically.

Abstract: A platform (200) having a default password and a presently used password stored therein receives (101) data from a portable physical data carrier and extracts (102) information comprising a unique code and a count as correspond to the platform. When a comparison (104) of the code and the count with corresponding information in the platform is favorable, the platform then resets (106) the presently used password to the default password. To facilitate the provision of such a portable physical data carrier, upon detecting (301) a need to reset this presently assigned password at a remotely located platform to a default password, the aforesaid unique code and count are recovered (302, 303) and placed (305) on the portable physical data carrier along with an instruction regarding resetting of the presently used password. That portable physical data carrier can then be physically forwarded (306) to that platform to facilitate the foregoing steps.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for Voice Handling via Dynamic Home Agents in a Network employing All-IP Architecture, and a system for handling voice call by using this method. The method comprises the following steps: when a first RCU is about to initiate voice call with a second RCU, a first agent address FA will be assigned to a corresponding mobile RCU by the RNC in which the mobile RCU resides; when the RCUs perform the voice call, corresponding Media Gateway (MG) assigns second agent address HA1 and HA2 to the first and second RCUs, respectively. Wherein both HA1 and HA2 are only valid during this call, and when the call is terminated or dropped, HA1 and HA2 will be released back to the pool of the IP addresses of the corresponding MG. The first and second RCUs implement the voice call based on the assigned first and second agent addresses.

Abstract: High-speed data transfer rates are provided between a central office and customer premise equipment with a multiplexer that is interposed between the central office and the customer premise equipment, and that functions as a remote access node. The multiplexer communicates at high data rates via downstream data links such as twisted-pair conductors between the multiplexer and the customer premise equipment. By positioning the multiplexer physically close to the customer premise equipment, DSL data rates can be achieved. In one application, the multiplexer assigns a variable number of the upstream data links between the central office and the multiplexer on a dynamic, adaptive, and automatic basis to individual ones of the downstream data links. In this way, unused data link capacity of the upstream data links is used to provide high data transmission rates when required between the multiplexer and the central office.

Abstract: A mobile switching center is configured with software instructions which allow it to continue to provide at least limited call termination and call origination services for mobile terminals in the event of a failure of a signaling link between the mobile switching center and a home location register and/or a signal control point (SCP) in an intelligent network. For pre-paid callers originating or terminating a call, the mobile switching center marks a call detail record as indicating that the call is a post-paid call. The call detail record is later provided to the SCP after the signaling link has been restored in order to bill the mobile terminal. In one example, the signaling link between the mobile switching center and the home location register or SCP may be a satellite link, which may go down for various reasons such as for maintenances, an unexpected failure, or the orbit of the satellite goes outside the field of reception of an antenna in the signal path.
