Abstract: The controller circuitry is configured to identify one of the plurality of different position assistance information for use by the terminal device to identify a position of the terminal device, and to estimate the position of the terminal device by combining the identified position assistance information with the radio signal received by the position detection receiver circuitry. The position assistance information is identified in accordance with a permission allocated to the terminal device. By providing system information which is unencrypted and other system information which is encrypted, conditional access to the position assistance information can be provided in which a lowest level of position assistance information can provide the least level of position estimation accuracy.

Abstract: A computer system for provisioning voicemail. The system comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, and a voicemail provisioning application. Upon execution by the processor, the provisioning application receives a request to create a voicemail account associated with a first phone number, creates a voicemail account comprising a first voicemail box, assigns a voicemail account identifier associated with an identity of the subscriber, and transmits the voicemail account and first voicemail box to a voicemail system, wherein the voicemail account identifier is used to reference the voicemail account. The application further receives a request to create a voicemail account associated with a second phone number of the mobile communication device, determines that a voicemail account associated with the mobile communication device already exists, creates a second voicemail box, and transmits the second voicemail box to the voicemail account identified by the voicemail account identifier.

Abstract: In order to make it possible to suppress increase in the cost of message retransmission, this message delivery device delivers a message, stores a history relating to the success or failure of the delivery to each of destinations of the message in a history storage unit, when the delivery of the message has failed, determines on the basis of the history whether to perform retransmission of the message, and when determining to perform the retransmission, performs the retransmission of the message.

Abstract: A presence server in a network can receive capability information about a UE in a publish message, and make that capability information available to other UEs on the network. When the UE later deregisters from the network, the UE can send an unpublish message. However, the presence server can at least partially disregard the unpublish message and continue to make the capability information about the UE available to other UEs. The presence server can also filter capability information of one or more target UEs provided to a watcher UE based on a registration status of a target UE, capabilities of the watcher UE, and/or whether a set of target UEs associated with a single user share certain capabilities.
