Abstract: A system receives an indication of selection of an item in a broadcast segment from an end device. A broadcast segment is identified by the selection and a broadcast segment schedule. An item ID is determined using the identified broadcast segment and the broadcast segment schedule, and a corresponding sponsor of the item is determined using the item ID and the identified broadcast segment. An anonymized message, including the item ID and a request for information, is sent to the corresponding sponsor. A reply is received from the corresponding sponsor, and forwarded to an end user contact.

Abstract: A method and network element are provided that manage bearers in a wireless communication system. The method and network element receives a bearer request associated with a user equipment (UE) and a service data flow (SDF). In response to determining that a value of a first quality of service parameter associated with the SDF is the same as a value of the corresponding first quality of service parameter of a bearer currently allocated to the UE, and that a value of the second quality of service parameter associated with the SDF is different than a value of the corresponding second quality of service parameter of the bearer currently allocated to the UE, the method and network element modifies the value of the second quality of service parameter of the bearer currently allocated to the UE to produce a modified bearer and maps the SDF to the modified bearer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for employing a token based arbiter. The apparatus includes a priority provider (26) comprising a processor for calculating an arbiter metric and an identity provider (18) having a processor for embedding the metric into a secured token. The apparatus also comprises memory coupled to the processor having one or more instructions executable at the processor. The processor is operable when executing the instructions to: collect authorization attributes (A) from one or more users seeking use of a resource (20) associated with a service provider; determine the level of priority to the one or more users based on prescribed policy of the priority provider; assign at least one arbiter metric (22, 32) to a secured token (T) for each of the one or more users based on the level of priority identified by the priority provider.

Abstract: A method (500, 600, 700) of registering a mobile communication device (102, 104, 106, 108) with an access network (112) can include receiving a request for a client mobile internet protocol (IP) registration from the mobile communication device. The method can also include performing a proxy mobile IP registration on behalf of the mobile communication device and sending a confirmation of the client mobile IP registration to the mobile communication device.

Abstract: A method, wireless device, and wireless communication system for dynamically selecting a network for communicating data over. The method includes initiating a search for a new access network (102). A network information request is transmitted to an information processing system in response to the determining (610). Network information associated with at least one access network is received (618) from the information processing system (120). The new access network (102) is selected based on the received network information. The new access network (102) is then connected to.

Abstract: A system for relaying CDMA packetized data from a cell site or sites to a destination speech processor. The CDMA packetized data, is received at the cell site and is sent in its packetized form along with a destination address to a packet switch. A packet handler at the packet switch receives the CDMA data packets and forwards them on a packet bus. If the destination speech processor assigned to that call is connected to the packet bus, it recognizes its own address and processes the data packet.

Abstract: A system for delivering packetized data in a network comprising a plurality of packet switch communities, wherein each of the packet switch communities has a plurality of endpoints connected to a common packet switch and having a unique address, and wherein each of the endpoints has addresses unique to their respective packet switch community. The endpoints in this system add a two-part destination address to the packetized data to be sent, wherein the first field represents a packet switch community and the second represents a destination endpoint. Each packet switch community is responsive to the first field being different from its own address for delivering the packetized data to a switch. The switch is responsive to the first field for delivering the packetized data to a packet switch community identified by the first field. Finally, each endpoint in the destination packet switch community is responsive to the first and second address fields for accepting packetized data.
