Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for dynamic password-less user verification in a mobile device are provided in the illustrative embodiments. Using a processor and a memory in the mobile device, a first portion of a call log stored in the mobile device is selected. Using a transformation function, a first transformed value corresponding to the first portion is obtained. A second portion of a call log stored in a repository of a service provider is obtained from the service provider, the service provider facilitating voice communications from the mobile device, and the second portion corresponding to the first portion. Using the transformation function, a second transformed value corresponding to the second portion is obtained. Responsive to the first transformed value matching the second transformed value within a tolerance limit, a conclusion is generated that the user verification is successful.

Abstract: A system and methodology that can utilize measurement data collected by a set of femto access points (FAPs), during a network listen procedure, to detect one or more areas with weak macro network coverage and/or high interference. Moreover, an automatic cell planning (ACP) component can be employed to analyze the measurement data and update a transmission parameter(s) associated with a macro access point. After the update is implemented, the ACP component can trigger another network listen procedure at the set of FAPs and receive new measurement data. The ACP component can evaluate the new measurement data to dynamically verify that the implementation of the update resulted in an improvement of macro network coverage and/or interference within the one or more areas.

Abstract: The various embodiments include methods for managing how a DSDS mobile communication device that is accessing an arbitrary combination of any two mobile telephony networks processes paging collisions. The embodiment methods promote the control of the paging block rates for two distinct subscriptions, in which a subscription's paging block rate is the long-term percentage of its blocked paging messages over its total number of received paging messages. In the various embodiments, a mobile communication device may use a paging blocking bias to achieve a particular paging blocking rate. The paging blocking bias may be set or adjusted through various means to cause a first subscription to have a paging blocking rate that is less than, equal to, or greater than a paging blocking rate for a second subscription.

Abstract: In a communication system, a call processing system receives a first signaling message for a special service call indicating a special service number. The call processing system processes the special service number to determine a first carrier identity and an organization identity for a responsible organization that is responsible for a routing database system for the special service number. The call processing system processes the organization identity for the responsible organization to select a second carrier identity. The call processing system transfers a second signaling message that indicates the second carrier identity. In some examples, a communication node receives the second signaling message and processes the second carrier identity to route the special service call to the responsible organization.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for channel selection within a wireless network. A multi-channel wireless access point may select a channel for a wireless device requesting data or voice service based on the transmit times of each channel supported by the multi-channel wireless access point. The transmit times may be based on the physical rates of the devices assigned to each channel. The channel may also be selected based on the quality of service requested by the wireless device, the medium occupancy of each channel, or the number of wireless devices assigned to each channel. Alternatively the wireless device may select the channel for assignment based on channel statistics information provided by the multi-channel wireless access point. This information may be provided through one or more beacon signals, or supplied in response to a request for the information from a wireless device.
