Abstract: Communication between a first wireless terminal and a second wireless terminal, where the first wireless terminal may have at least one feature that the second wireless terminal may not have, is established. In one specific example, the at least one feature may relate to a video call capability. Thus, for example, the second wireless terminal may not be capable of handling a video call. In that case, the communication between the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal may be downgraded to a voice communication.

Abstract: Interactive video call response system that can provide a video greeting and an option to deposit a video message to a video capable wireless terminal, such as a third generation compatible wireless terminal, is provided. A user of the video capable wireless terminal is provided a video greeting when a recipient of the video call does not answer. The user may deposit a video message for a user of another wireless terminal. The recipient of the video call may later retrieve any deposited video message(s) using any device capable of retrieving deposited video messages.

Abstract: Systems for connecting telecommunications infrastructure lines to telephones, handsets, computers, telecopy machines and other end user interfaces or consumer electronics devices in a residence or business. Systems according to the present invention include Network Control Units which form the center of a star topology and which communicate via RF link with Wireless Access Units and handsets. Wireless Access Units feature an interface, such as, for example, a standard telephone jack, for accommodating a telephone, a fax machine, a compute modem or other device. Computers or other devices may also be accommodated by Wireless Access Units having other physical and virtual interfaces, including, for instance, serial ports or network interfaces. The Wireless Access Units may also be digital to accommodate ISDN or any other digital standard.

Abstract: An Adjacency Detection Protocol (ADP) whereby a node in a wireless network may collect information about its neighbors. The collected information enables the establishment of link layer connectivity between a node and its neighbors and also is useful for translating network layer addresses into link addresses. The collected information finds further use in preventing medium contention among adjacent nodes and in handling collisions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic area code dialing includes a processor, software, and a memory for storing telephone numbers. At a dial tone, a caller dials a ten digit number. The processor sends an area code dial request to the caller for future calls. The caller can confirm the request of the dialed number as a frequently-dialed number. The processor stores the number as a seven-digit portion and an area code portion. On subsequent calls to only the seven-digit portion of the number, the processor compares the seven-digit number to a group of stored numbers. If a match is found, the processor transmits both the seven-digit number and its corresponding area code.
