Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for station location based neighbor determination and handover probability estimation. A serving access point determines the location and movement measurements of a station (STA). Neighboring access points report coordinates of cell fringes of the neighboring access points. The STA sends a request for system information to the current access point along with current location of the STA. The current access point provides the system information, and the STA utilizes the system information to determine best handover candidate from among neighboring access points and an estimate of the time for handover.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are provided to implement a method for radio environment, measurement (REM) scheduling, information extraction, storage and processing to generate terrain and object mapping/identification using higher frequency radio signals, directional transmission techniques and external database information.

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may detect, with bluetooth, devices in proximity to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a message to transfer selected multi-media to a selected device. The WTRU may receive confirmation to transfer the selected multi-media to the selected device. The selected multi-media is transferred to the selected device.

Abstract: A method for transmitting an encrypted signal to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) such that decryption of the encrypted signal depends on a trust zone associated with the WTRU is disclosed. The encryption may be performed using hierarchical modulation, scrambling, authentication, location validation, or a combination thereof. The size of a trust zone may also be adjusted.

Abstract: Detecting wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), by a WTRU over Bluetooth, is disclosed. An input from a multi-touch display to select a target WTRU from the detected WTRUs is processed. The WTRU transfers to the selected target WTRU over WiFi a selected media.

Abstract: Detecting, with Bluetooth, wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) in proximity to a WTRU is disclosed. The WTRU may send a message to transfer of a selected media to a selected WTRU. The WTRU may receive an acceptance to transfer the selected media to the selected WTRU. The selected media is transferred to the selected WTRU.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to communicate with a computer through a communications interface. The apparatus includes a soft mobile phone client and a cellular modem. The soft mobile client provides a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication session, and includes a first set of a plurality of communications modules which does not include a non-access stratum (NAS) module. The cellular modem provides cellular Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity to the computer, and includes a second set of a plurality of modules having a NAS module. The soft mobile phone client establishes IP connectivity through the cellular modem and provides IP connectivity to the computer on a condition that a pre-existing IP connection via the computer is not available. The soft mobile phone client includes a software module encoded to implement a graphical user interface (GUI) function, which enables a VoIP communication session to be initiated by the user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for integrating a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) client in a wireless PC card are disclosed. A soft mobile phone client is combined with a cellular PC card to create a single physical device that is capable of providing VoIP services to a computer user through the cellular capabilities of the device itself, or alternatively, through any other Internet connectivity available to the computer. When a user inserts the VoIP client/Cellular PC Card into a computer, a graphical user interface (GUI) within the connection manager software is launched allowing the user to communicate VoIP function commands to the VoIP client. A check for Internet connectivity may be performed, at which time the Radio portion of the enhanced PC card may be put into an idle state if connectivity is detected, or may alternatively establish Internet connectivity through the cellular portion of the enhanced PC card.

Abstract: A method of data transfer between wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) is described. The WTRUs may be within a given geographic area of each other or in communication with the same network. Location information relating to the WTRUs may be determined. The location information may be presented to a user of the WTRU. Data may be transferred from one WTRU to a target WTRU based on user input. The WTRU may determine the target WTRU based on user input and/or location information. The user input may be a gestural input. The gestural input may be received via a display or touchscreen. The user input may identify a given action or identify a particular file for transfer. The WTRU may receive data from the target WTRU.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving handover in an IEEE 802.21 compliant communication network. A query is transmitted from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to a media independent handover (MIH) server (MIHS). The WTRU includes a target point of attachment (PoA) and/or a preferred mobile inter protocol (MIP) method. The WTRU receives a response from the MIHS indicating the MIP method supported by the target PoA. Based on the received response, the WTRU may make an informed decision regarding handover.
