Patent number: 6947420Abstract: A telephone connection is complemented with additional information by, after initiating the telephone connection between a transmitting telecommunication device and a receiving telecommunication device, composing, at the transmitting telecommunication device, a signalling message of predetermined form to be transmitted in association with the telecommunication connection. The signalling message contains the additional information. Within the signalling message there is indicated the intended receiving part within the receiving telecommunication device of at least part of the signalling message. The signalling message is transmitted from the transmitting telecommunciation device to the receiving telecomunication device.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Sverre Slotte, Arto Karppanen

Patent number: 6408063Abstract: For complementing a telephone connection with additional information a first telecommunication device transmits to a second telecommunication device a request for setting up a telephone connection (102, 302, 402). In association with said request, a first signalling message (103, 303, 403) is transmitted. The receiver of the first signalling message (104, 304, 404) makes a decision about how to handle the call on the basis of the information received in said first signalling message (105, 305, 405).Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Sverre Slotte, Arto Karppanen

Patent number: 5987137Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for the encryption of information transferred between data transfer devices (MS, SGSN) in a data communication system wherein one or more data frames are created from one or more data packets formed from the information by the application. The data frames comprise at least a header field and a data field. In the method, at least some part of the data packets is ciphered by using a ciphering key (Kc). To the data frames, synchronization data (COUNT) is attached, the value of which is changed at least at the transmission of each data frame.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1997Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones, Ltd.Inventors: Arto Karppanen, Hannu Kari, Jari Hamalainen, Jari Juopperi

Patent number: 5978386Abstract: A packet radio system encapsulates data packets of external data networks by a point-to-point protocol PPP (FIGS. 4A, 4B), and passes them through one or more sub-networks to a point which supports the protocol of the encapsulated data packet. In addition, a special radio link protocol of the packet radio network is required on the radio interface between a mobile data terminal equipment and a support node. PPP packets are encapsulated in data packets of said radio link protocol. The disadvantage of the arrangement is that the data packets of both the PPP protocol and the radio link protocol contain protocol-specific fields, which reduces the transmission capacity of user information. Therefore, a PPP packet is compressed (FIG. 4C) before the encapsulation (FIG. 4D) by removing therefrom the unnecessary control fields. After having been transferred over the radio interface, the PPP packet is decompresssed into its original format (FIGS. 4F, 4G).Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Nokia Telecommunications OYInventors: Jari Hamalainen, Hannu Kari, Arto Karppanen

Patent number: 5729541Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting packet data in a cellular system. The number of time slots in a TDMA frame dedicated for packet transmission varies according to transmission needs and each logical channel consisting of corresponding time slots in consecutive TDMA frames is independent of the other logical channels. A data packet is encoded in an information channel frame consisting of N-1 information bursts, and between the frames there can be an acknowledge/retransmission request burst (ARQ) reporting that a received frame was error-free or requesting retransmission. Thus, the information channel consists of repeated sequences of N bursts. Also disclosed are the structure of a packet paging burst (PP), packet random access burst (PRA), packet access grant burst (PAG), acknowledge/retransmission request burst (ARQ) as well as the use of the bursts in starting and maintaining the transmission.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1995Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Jari Hamalainen, Arto Karppanen, Zhi Chun Honkasalo, Harri Jokinen, Wang Ling
