Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to connected-state radio session transfer in wireless communications. A target access network controller may create a radio session associated with an access terminal, the radio session corresponding with a source radio session at a source access network controller. The target access network controller may also establish a communication route between a data network and the access terminal via the target access network controller. The target access network controller may further receive a frozen state associated with the source radio session from the source access network controller. In an aspect, the frozen state may include a snapshot of any data being communicated through the source radio session when freezing occurred. The target access network controller may subsequently unfreeze the received state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing a handover of a mobile node (MN) from a source to a target network, wherein a handover proxy node (HPN) is used to relay the handover of the MN to one of previously measured cells. The MN discovers an appropriate HPN and triggers the handover to the HPN by reporting the measurements together with the HPN ID as destination of the handover. When receiving the Handover Initiation message for handing over the MN to the HPN, the HPN will not proceed with the handover but adapts said handover to indicate a handover of the MN from the HPN to the target base station. Upon receiving the Handover Initiation message in the target network, system resources are configured for data forwarding between the source and target network, and for the data path used by the MN when attaching to the target base station.

Abstract: The various embodiments include methods and apparatuses for avoiding interference scenarios during concurrent communication of dual-technology wireless communication devices. Interference scenarios may be avoided by predicatively determining the potential for interference between the channels of multiple communications on the dual-technology wireless communication devices. For a pending communication, a predicative calculation may be made to determine whether the channel of the pending communication and the channel of an active communication may interfere with each other. If so, the communication with a lower priority may switch to the highest powered channel that does not interfere with the higher priority communication. Once the interference condition expires, and the lower priority communication persists, its channel may switch to a higher power channel that will not cause interference with any active or pending communications.

Abstract: A network includes a database configured to store subscriber data associated with a wireless terminal, wherein the subscriber data indicates whether the wireless terminal requires allocation of an IP address during attachment of the wireless terminal to the network. The network module receives, from the wireless terminal, a request to attach to the network. In response to receiving the request, the network module retrieves the subscriber data stored in the database and selectively allocates an IP address to the wireless terminal based on whether the subscriber data stored in the database indicates that the wireless terminal requires allocation of an IP address during attachment of the wireless terminal to the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein accept a user-selected adjustment position associated with a value-selection display screen widget. A non-linear calculation is performed on the user-selected adjustment position, a length of the screen widget, a smallest represented value associated with a range of values, a largest represented value associated with a range of values, and/or an adjustment granularity associated with the display screen widget. The non-linear calculation determines a selected value corresponding to the user-selected adjustment position. The selected value is then sent to a physical output device. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A mobile communication device for a wireless communication network includes an evaluation module, a determination module and an informing module. The evaluation module evaluates a connection ability between the mobile communication device and a plurality of base stations. The determination module determines whether a report is to be issued according to the connection ability and a customized rule different from a standard rule. The standard rule corresponds to a threshold of the connection ability defined by the wireless communication network. When a determination result of the determination module is yes, the informing module issues the report to the wireless communication network.
