Abstract: A converged device including a first subsystem and a second subsystem, configured to operate in multiple operation modes with varying levels of security. One example provides a method for operating the device. The method includes determining, during a startup sequence of the first subsystem and with a first processor of the first subsystem, a last operation mode for the first subsystem. The method includes determining, responsive to detecting that a SIM is installed in the converged device, a network type for the SIM. The method includes controlling, with the first processor, a first communication interface based on the network type and the last operation mode. The method includes determining, during a startup sequence of the second subsystem and with a second processor of the second subsystem, the last operation mode for the first subsystem and controlling, with the second processor, a second communication interface based on the last operation mode.

Abstract: Systems and devices for providing a non-touchscreen enabled application through a touchscreen. One embodiment provides a touchscreen and an electronic processor communicably coupled to the touchscreen. The electronic processor configured to generate a touch interface comprising a representation of a non-touch interface provided by a non-touchscreen enabled application, provide the touch interface to the touchscreen, receive a command from the touchscreen corresponding to an interaction with the representation of the non-touch interface, translate the command into at least one event for updating a state of the non-touchscreen enabled application, and provide the at least one event to the non-touchscreen enabled application.

Abstract: Devices and systems for providing cross-agency communications at an incident are described. An incident manager determines attributes of devices to be used at the incident, negotiating the devices and device attributes with each first responder agency from which devices are to be dispatched to the incident. The manager controls lifecycles of network slices to provide communication services for the incident. The lifecycle is controlled based on communication from each UE indicating arrival to and departure from the incident, as well as the attributes of the UE.

Abstract: Methods and systems for connecting isolated networks. One method includes storing, in a database of a network core, information related to a first set of communication devices associated with a first radio access network and a second set of communication devices associated with a second radio access network. The method further includes communicating between the network core and a transceiver of the first radio access network via an interface. The method further includes communicating, via the interface, between the network core and a virtual transceiver that represents an actual transceiver of the second radio access network.

Abstract: A method (200) of operation in a communication system (100) when a mobile node (107) is served in a network (103, 105) which is not its home network (101). The mobile node: (a) when attached to a first service node (117) identifies (203) a second service node (123) as a candidate service node to which it can become attached by an attachment handover procedure; (b) obtains (205) a new Care Of Address for use in association with attachment of the mobile node to the second service node; (c) notifies (207) the second service node of its identity and of its new Care Of Address; and (d) notifies (213) a Home Agent for the mobile node of the identity of the second service node and/or of the new Care Of Address.

Abstract: A method of providing multicast communication between a home domain and a mobile device visiting a foreign domain comprises receiving a request to participate in a multicast session from the mobile device and registering the mobile device, from which the request was received, with a sub-session associated with the requested multicast session. The method further comprises providing details of the sub-session to the mobile device; and upon subsequent receipt of a multicast packet corresponding to the multicast session, encapsulating the received multicast packet within a sub-session packet, the sub-session packet comprising the sub-session address as its destination address, and sending the sub-session packet to a care-of address for the mobile device.

Abstract: A method of transmitting packets (200) of data across a network is described, where at least one packet of data comprises a header and a payload. The method comprises performing payload compression (210, 220) on the payload; performing header compression (230, 240) on the header; encapsulating the compressed header and payload within a transmission header (250) to create a transmission data packet (200); and transmitting the transmission data packet (200) across the network.
