Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for inter-technology diversity. A transmitting device may concurrently transmit a communication unit, such as a data packet, on two or more different air interfaces to a receiving device. The receiving device may concurrently receive the two or more transmissions on two or more corresponding air interfaces, and may then apply forward error correction to the two or more received communication unit in order to recover an error-free version of the communication unit. The transmitting device could be a multi-modal base station (or other access element) of a wireless communication system, and the receiving device could be a multi-modal access terminal (AT) or other user equipment (UE). Additionally or alternatively, the transmitting device could be an AT or UE, and the receiving device could be a base station.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing wireless communication to a wireless device are provided. An access node of a first network associated with a first radio access technology can receive a request to establish a communication link with a first wireless device. The first wireless device can be in further communication with a second network associated with a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology. The access node can determine that a number of second wireless devices in communication with the access node meets a threshold. When the number of second wireless devices exceeds the threshold, the access node can determine a subscription parameter based on a bandwidth allocation among the number of second wireless devices in communication with the access node. When the subscription parameter meets a criteria, the communication link can be established with the first wireless device.

Abstract: Presence information is provided in a personal communications system comprising an interface unit (21), the interface unit comprising a computer interface connecting the interface unit (21) to a client computer (1); and a first transceiver exchanging radio signals between interface unit (21) and a mobile telephone (22) according to a first wireless communication protocol; and/or a telephone interface connecting interface unit (21) to a desktop telephone (23). The method comprises the steps of providing a presence message indicating whether the mobile telephone (22) or the desktop telephone (23) is involved in a phone call; and transmitting the presence message to the client computer (1) via the computer interface. Thus better and more reliable presence information taking use of mobile or desktop telephones into account can easily be provided.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for updating an air interface key, a core network node and user equipment. The update method comprises: a core network node receives a relocation indication message, wherein the relocation indication message is configured to indicate that the User Equipment (UE) is about to relocate to a target Radio Network Controller (RNC) from a source RNC (Step S602); the core network node uses the key parameter to calculate a next hop enhanced key (Step S604); and then the core network node sends the next hop enhanced key to the target RNC (Step S606). Through the disclosure, the forward security of the user is guaranteed, and thus the communication security of the radio access system is improved.

Abstract: The present invention is applicable to the field of communications technologies, and provides an method, the method includes: when a CS service and PS service of a local LTE single-card dual-standby multi-mode terminal are concurrent, detecting, by a local LTE single-card dual-standby multi-mode terminal, whether a peer communication terminal that is performing voice communication with it is in a voice silent period; when detecting that the peer communication terminal is not in the voice silent period, receiving, by the local LTE single-card dual-standby multi-mode terminal, downlink data in an LTE system, and suspending, by the local LTE single-card dual-standby multi-mode terminal, sending of uplink data in the LTE system at the same time; and when detecting that the peer communication terminal is in the voice silent period, sending the uplink data and receiving the downlink data, by the local LTE single-card dual-standby multi-mode terminal, in the LTE system.

Abstract: Techniques are presented to determine a location of a wireless client device operating in a wireless local area network. A beacon report request action frame is sent to a wireless client device, where the request frame is configured to cause the wireless client device to transmit a broadcast probe request frame. A beacon report response message is received from the wireless client device and includes one or more probe response frames transmitted by one or more wireless access points that receive the broadcast probe request frame. The wireless client device location is determined based in part on signal strength information in the probe response frames sent by the one or more wireless access points and which signal strength information indicates the signal strength observed by the one or more wireless access points with respect to the broadcast probe request frame transmitted by the wireless client device.

Abstract: In order to change control over a user equipment within a femtocell in accordance with a change in camping of the user equipment, a communication system includes a femto base station (10) that provides a femtocell includes notification destination setting means (20) for setting, in the femto base station (10), a notification destination to be notified of a change in camping of a user equipment (30) on the femtocell. The femto base station (10) notifies the set notification destination of the change in camping of the user equipment (30), upon detection of the change in camping.

Abstract: A location support relating to a mobile station that can make use of multiple communication networks more efficiently. In an SUPL server of a location system, a judgment is made as to which of two communication networks is accessed by a mobile station based on information specifying the access point of the mobile station, with this access point being notified from the mobile station, whereby the information is then notified from the SUPL server to a location information management device. As a result, in the location information management device, requests to a communication network, which is not accessed by the mobile station, for location information for use in location of the mobile station are suppressed. This makes it possible for location support relating to a mobile station capable of using multiple communication networks to be carried out more efficiently.
