Abstract: An access point of a network maintains information about data received at the access point from a server accessible via the network and provides to the server the information maintained at the access point. The access point then receives from the server a payment for an account associated with an operator of the access point.

Abstract: A handheld computing device is introduced comprising a motion detection sensor(s) and a motion control agent. The motion detection sensor(s) detect motion of the computing device in one or more of six (6) fields of motion and generate an indication of such motion. The motion control agent, responsive to the indications of motion received from the motion sensors, generate control signals to modify, one or more of the operating state and/or the displayed content of the computing device based, at least in part, on the received indications.

Abstract: Allocating resources in a circuit switched data network, comprising receiving a request for a resource from a device coupled to the circuit switched data network and granting the resource to the requesting device if the resource is available. If the resource is not available, then examining the instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted by the requesting device; the rate of change in the instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted by the requesting device; and the time of utilization of the resource by the requesting device, and granting the resource to the requesting device based on the examination of the three factors.

Abstract: Each connection can have a different symmetric key derived from a previously exchanged master secret in a symmetric key cryptography scheme. In one embodiment, the invention includes establishing a master secret between the first communications device and a second communications device, perhaps during registration. Then a connection is opened between the first communications device and the second communications device. A connection secret is generated from the master secret, and using as a symmetric key during the life of the connection.

Abstract: A system and related methods to facilitate the delivery of enhanced data services in a mobile wireless communications environment is generally described. According to one aspect of the invention, a data networking protocol is introduced generally comprising control commands and attribute-value pairs. The one or more control commands including one or more control commands selectively employed to establish, manage and tear-down a communication session by and between elements of a data network. The one or more attribute-value pair(s) (AVP), selectively employed by a network element to define one or more parameters of an accompanying control command, the AVPs including one or more mobility management AVPs to facilitate exchange of mobility information between at least a subset of the network elements of the data network participating in a point-to-point component of the communication session.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating an identifier to facilitate delivery of enhanced data services in a wireless computing environment is presented. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a method is presented comprising receiving a request to establish a communication session between a subscriber unit in a wireless communication system and a data network access server through a basestation, and selectively generating a communication session identifier to uniquely identify the communication session from a plurality of communication sessions supported by the network access server to enable mobility management within the point-to-point communication session between the basestation and the network access server.

Abstract: An adaptive method for channel assignment in a cellular multiple access wireless communication system that has a cell station (CS) and a number of subscriber stations augments existing channel assignment protocol and thus is downward compatible with existing time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), and spatial division multiple access (SDMA) system protocols. The method adaptively determines the power required for establishing an acceptable quality connection between a subscriber station and the cell station and provides an early warning trial signal for advising existing connections that a new connection is about to be established. The early warning, followed by a pause, provides a basis and a time interval for taking corrective interference action if the trial signal indicates that an unacceptable level of interference will result if the trial connection is established.
