Publication number: 20160269907Abstract: In order for making MTC more efficient and/or secure, a base station (20) forming a communication system connects a UE (10) to a core network. A node (50) serves as an entering point to the core network for a service provider, and transmits traffic between the service provider and the UE (10). The node (50) establishes, as a connection to the base station (20), a first connection for directly transceiving messages between the node (50) and the base station (20). Alternatively, the node (50) establishes a second connection for transparently transceiving the messages through a different node (30) that is placed within the core network and has established a different secure connection to the base station (20).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2014Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Xiaowei ZHANG, Anand Reghawa PRASAD, Andreas KUNZ, Genadi VELEV, Toshiyuki TAMURA

Patent number: 9225751Abstract: A PUCI system is designed to process an incoming call originated by the user equipment toward the counterpart user equipment via an EMS node having a PUCI-light functionality, which includes an IBCF/I-CSCF, a S-CSCF, and a database storing the PUCI-light information. Through a query to the database indicating a suspicious session in relation to the incoming call, the IMS node immediately blocks the suspicious session or simply marks the suspicious session for the further processing at a subsequent node. The reason for rejection is included in a SIP BYE/ERROR message of an original session setup message, which is interpreted by a previous IMS node so as to obtain the relevant information from a SIP header. The relevant information is stored in either a global operator policy database or a local database, thus enabling a PUCI-negating IMS node to reject an unsolicited call related to the blocked session.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Anand Raghawa Prasad, Andreas Kunz, Toshiyuki Tamura, Stefan Schmid, Thilo Ewald

Patent number: 9084234Abstract: A method for supporting a connection between a communication device and a destination device in a target network over intermediate network nodes, in particular in the context of Internet Protocol based communication, wherein data between the communication device and the destination device is transmitted via a tunnel established between the communication device or a base station connected to the communication device, as a first tunnel endpoint and a gateway in the target network as a second tunnel endpoint. One or more dummy packets are sent via the tunnel from the first tunnel endpoint towards the second tunnel endpoint, information is encoded in the packet headers of the one or more dummy packets, and at least one of the intermediate network nodes, upon receiving the one or more dummy packets, performs the steps of detecting and/or decoding the encoded information and performing a predefined action dependent on the encoded information.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: NEC EUROPE LTD.Inventors: Hans-Joerg Kolbe, Andreas Kunz

Publication number: 20150143225Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, media, and systems implemented to handling timer-based resizing events based on activity detection can trigger a start of a resize timer. The resize timer can periodically provide a notification to check for resize activity in a user interface displayed on a display device. In response to the notification, an absence of the resize activity can be determined after a threshold inactivity time period has expired from the start of the resize timer. In response, a stop of the resize timer can be triggered. After triggering the stop, a first resize activity associated with a first timestamp can be detected in the user interface. A restart of the resize timer from the first timestamp can be triggered to periodically provide the notification to check for resize activity in the user interface. Subsequent continuation or stopping of the resize timer can be based on further presence or absence of resize activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2014Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventors: Jens Pflueger, Frank Weigel, Andreas Kunz
