Patent number: 8788715Abstract: A system and method for carrying out network and interface selections across multiple media is disclosed. The disclosed system facilitates automated network interface configuration decision-making that spans a set of networks supporting communications via differing media. A set of media specific modules associated with differing communications media acquire network interface status/capabilities information. A rules engine thereafter applies a designated network selection rule(s) to the acquired network interface status/capabilities information, and any other appropriate parameters attributable to either an interface or network, to select one or more networks and interfaces with which to establish/maintain a connection.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anton Krantz, Warren V.

Patent number: 8707337Abstract: The present invention can include a method for initiating a dispatch call. The method can include a step of receiving a dispatch call request from a MIDlet disposed within a JAVA™ mobile edition (ME) environment of a communication device, such as a mobile telephony device. The method can determine whether the MIDlet is in a domain having access to dispatch call functions implemented within a native environment of the communication device. When the domain has access, a dispatch communication session can be established for the dispatch call request. The dispatch communication session can execute within the native environment without exiting the JAVA™ ME environment. When the domain lacks access, the dispatch call request can be conveyed to the native environment, the MIDlet can quit executing, the JAVA™ ME environment can be exited, and a dispatch communication session for the dispatch call request can be established from within the native environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Edwin A.

Patent number: 8213417Abstract: A system for communication between a mobile node and a communications network is provided for use with a communications network having one or more communications network nodes that define a foreign agents and that communicate with the mobile node in a predefined region. The system includes a ghost-foreign agent that advertises a foreign agent so that the mobile node is aware of the foreign agent when the mobile node is located outside the predefined region. The system further includes a ghost-mobile node that signals the foreign agent in response to the foreign agent advertising and based upon a predicted future state of the mobile node.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Edwin A.

Patent number: 8024487Abstract: A system and method for discovering and connecting to a preferred remote Bluetooth device by a local Bluetooth device. An inquiry scan cache and a page scan cache are maintained. The inquiry scan cache is updated by way of a periodic inquiry scan. The page scan cache is refreshed by way of an attempt to connect to the preferred remote Bluetooth device. Periodically, and more frequently than the periodic inquiry scan, a list of available remote Bluetooth devices is formed from entries in the inquiry scan cache concatenated with each entry in the page scan cache for which a page scan is successful. In one embodiment, the page scan cache holds a finite number of entries, and an expiration policy is applied to each added entry. In another embodiment, the inquiry scan cache is also updated when a remote Bluetooth device attempts to connect to the local Bluetooth device.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2003Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vivek Bhanu, Siamak Poursabahian, Edwin A.

Patent number: 7564810Abstract: A power management scheme for use in a wireless device reduces the power consumption of the network interface module of the wireless device by selectively putting the network interface module into a low-power state for an idle time. The length of the idle time is calculated such that the amount of delayed traffic data accumulated is expected to be less than or equal to a pre-selected threshold when the network interface module is put in the low-power state for the calculated idle time. The amount of delayed traffic data as a function of the idle time is modeled using average inter-arrival and service rates that are derived from traffic statistics data.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2002Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Edwin Hernandez, Arun Ayyagari, Timothy M.
