  • Patent number: 9167460
    Abstract: Described are methods and devices for detecting cable network interference on a wireless network. In one aspect, disclosed is a method, performed by a processor of a cable interference detection device, of detecting interference in a wireless network caused by a cable network. The method includes: obtaining a signal signature of a wireless signal received at a receiver of a mobile communication device, the signal signature being a fast fourier transform representation of the wireless signal; and determining that the wireless signal represents interference caused by the cable network by comparing the signal signature to a cable network signal signature.

  • Patent number: 9137656
    Abstract: Methods and devices are described for provisioning embedded universal integrated circuit cards (EUICCs). A certification server may store records for each EUICC containing provisioned profile data. A regulatory domain server may govern a regulatory domain containing a plurality of mobile network operators (MNOs) and may assist with provisioning wireless devices containing EUICCs. The EUICC may store a hierarchy of profiles, including a device profile, a regulatory domain profile, and/or an MNO profile. The EUICC may include a fully-qualified domain name for the certification server, the device installation server, and/or the regulatory domain server so as to trigger provisioning or re-provisioning over an IP connection.

  • Patent number: 8868041
    Abstract: A multi-use embedded universal integrated circuit card contains more than one active MNO (mobile network operator) profile. The example card may include a time manager and a radio resource schedule for managing access to a radio within a wireless device. The time manager enables one of the active MNO profiles at a time in accordance with the radio resource schedule, effectively allocating respective time slices to applications associated with each of the active MNO profiles.

  • Publication number: 20140241167
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and system for managing transmission of data between a hub and a receiver, the hub connected to the receiver by a first transport medium, and the hub connected to the receiver by a wireless network, the method comprising receiving a request from the receiver to transmit data upstream; determining that the data transmission across the first transport medium is congested; and, in response to determining that the data transmission across the first transport medium congested, instructing the receiver to transmit data upstream on the wireless network.

  • Patent number: 8654723
    Abstract: A method for re-using an existing IPSec tunnel for multiple services. The IPSec tunnel is established from customer premises equipment to the core network to support licensed frequency communications, such as a femtocell. UMA communication using unlicensed frequencies may be carried out by re-using the IPSec tunnel to securely route UMA communications from a UMA device to a UNC within the core network via the customer premises equipment. The network determines whether to redirect UMA communications through an existing IPSec tunnel by determining whether a newly established second IPSec tunnel for UMA communications originates from an access point collocated with a femtocell that has an existing IPSec tunnel.

  • Publication number: 20120076303
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for the capability within a gateway to dynamically monitor communications and protocols from a targeted user in a local breakout. A gateway product with this capability thus performs the function of an intercept access point (IAP). Communications to and from the targeted user are directed through the gateway and are intercepted in a manner not visible to the targeted user.

  • Patent number: 5809395
    Abstract: A multichannel radiotelephony system provides two way cordless communications with a plurality of multichannel transceivers portable within a coverage area comprised by a plurality of cells, each associated with a base station and antennas, such as to permit channel frequency reuse in cells within the coverage area. For at least part of the coverage area, the locations of the antennas within the cells and the locations of the base stations are independently mapped, the antennas being associated with active antenna systems and the active antenna systems being connected to the base stations utilizing broadband transmission by means of a fixed bi-directional signal distribution network. The network is connected to the base stations and the antenna systems through suitable interfaces incorporating frequency translation so that available frequency bands in the signal distribution network which will normally be shared with other services, may be utilised. Plural base stations may be co-located.
