  • Publication number: 20250203014
    Abstract: A method for emulating a shared line system in a multicell wireless network. A primary base assigns, to a first call, a call index identifying the first call on a first shared line. The primary base distributes a call record of the first call, including the call index of the first call and a call status of the first call, to at least one secondary base. The method also includes broadcasting, to wireless terminals assigned to the first shared line, the call index of the first call and the call status of the first call. The primary base performs a call operation relating to the first call based on an operation request from one of the wireless terminals assigned to the first shared line. The operation request includes the call index of the first call. Each wireless terminal may display the call index and the call status.

  • Publication number: 20250184960
    Abstract: To perform group paging of wireless terminals, a network receives at a first base station of one or more base stations, Internet Protocol multicast packets directed to a first multicast address corresponding to a first paging group. The first base station determines whether wireless terminals of a first paging group corresponding to the first multicast address are localized to the first base station. The first base station controls a first processor to process the multicast packets directed to the first multicast address based on determining whether one or more wireless terminals are localized to the first base station. The processing comprises converting the multicast packets directed to the first multicast address into a first audio stream. The first base station outputs the first audio stream to a localized set of said one or more wireless terminals of the first paging group.

  • Patent number: 12108309
    Abstract: A telecommunications system includes a base, a plurality of handsets, and a status database for storing status information. Each handset is localized to the base. The status information may be that of a first handset of the plurality of handsets. The base broadcasts to the plurality of handsets a status broadcast that includes the status information.

  • Patent number: 9548842
    Abstract: Systems and methods of enhanced real-time communications between WiFi devices. In one embodiment of the present invention a method for enhanced payload protection in a WiFi system includes transmitting multiple copies of data packets in successive frame body transmissions. In another embodiment, a method for enhanced communications over a WiFi link includes examining a unit ID packet to determine a destination of a data payload when errors are detected in IP and/or MAC headers. If a destination is determined, the packet is corrected and forwarded to the device based on the unit ID determination. In another embodiment, a method for enhanced real-time communications in a WiFi network includes establishing a communications frame that includes an active timeslot, preferably based on U-APSD, for a WiFi device to use for transmission of successive audio data packets transmitted between the WiFi handset and AP.
