Patent number: 10412657Abstract: A system and method of enabling a mobile device to communicate with a local IP network host and an external IP network host using a femto cellular access point on a femto cellular access network. A local gateway is coupled to the femto cellular access network for receiving data packets transmitted on the femto cellular access network and for routing the data packets to one of a local IP network and an external IP network, based on a destination address associated with the data packets. The femto cellular access network includes an LTE network, an EVDO network connected to an EPC, or a WiMax 802.16e/m network connected to the EPC.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Eric W. Parsons, Philippe Reininger, Saso Stojanovski, Barnaba Barnowski

Patent number: 9813948Abstract: The present invention solves communication disruption problems during the hand-off transition period by using a pre-handoff registration of a new foreign agent on behalf of the mobile node The pre-handoff registration message should: (1) identify itself as a pre-hand off registration message, (2) indicate direction of traffic for the pre-handoff registration time period, and (3) specify a lifetime or time period when the pre-handoff registration request will continue to be considered valid The local mobility anchor will accept traffic using the pre-handoff registration care-of address depending on the directionality indicator, but the communication traffic to or from the mobile node will not be disrupted during the transition period. Because the care-of address for the mobile node on the new foreign network can be used to direct communication traffic to or from the mobile node during this transition time period, no disruption of service will be encountered.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ahmad Muhanna, Mohamed Khalil, Barnaba Barnowski, Eric Parsons, Khosrow Saboorian

Patent number: 9622128Abstract: A system and method are provided for enabling a mobile device to establish a local IP access on a packet data network connection on a femto cellular access network. A local server gateway and a macro server gateway are coupled to the femto cellular access network. A mobility management entity is coupled to the femto cellular access network, the local server gateway and the macro server gateway. The mobility management entity obtains a status mode of the mobile device and a location of the mobile device transmitted on the femto cellular access network. The mobility management entity selects one of the local server gateway and the macro server gateway based on the status mode of the mobile device and the location of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Saso Stojanovski, Barnaba Barnowski, Eric Parsons, Gregory Osborne

Patent number: 9426719Abstract: A first node receives information associated with a mobile station to allow for establishment of a session for the mobile station that is attached to a first wireless access network in a first service domain. In response to the received information, the first node sends messaging to a home agent in a second service domain that is of a different type than the first service domain. The first node receives, from the home agent, an Internet Protocol (IP) address allocated to the mobile station in the second service domain, where the IP address is allocated in response to the messaging, and where services provided to the mobile station are anchored in the second service domain.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Ahmad Muhanna, Barnaba Barnowski, Eric Parsons
