Patent number: 7876742Abstract: A mobility signaling method and apparatus are disclosed. Mobility signaling is performed by, first, generating a mobility signaling message (300, 302) at a mobile node (100) to be sent to a correspondent node (112). Next, either direct signaling or indirect signaling is selected as a signaling mechanism for the mobility signaling message (300, 302) based on a cell residence heuristic. The mobility signaling message (300, 302) is then sent to the correspondent node using the selected signaling mechanism for the mobility signaling message (300, 302).Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2006Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Eric Wu, Gregory Ian Daley, Ahmet Sekercioglu, Sathya Narayanan

Publication number: 20100248711Abstract: A mobile device include processes that allow the mobile device to make international calls using network-based plus code dialing even when the current network does not inherently support network-based plus code dialing. The mobile device obtains, via a set-up process, state information describing whether the network supports network-based plus code dialing. The mobile device transmits, in response to a request from a user and when the state information indicates the network supports network-based plus code dialing, a message to the network to initiate the international call based on a network-based plus code dialing scheme. The mobile device transmits, in response to the request from the user and when the state information indicates the network does not support network-based plus code dialing, a message to the network to initiate the international call using a handset-based plus code dialing scheme.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2009Publication date: September 30, 2010Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Iftekhar RAHMAN, Gordana GURANOVIC, Eric WU

Publication number: 20100159954Abstract: A method includes communicating with a first wireless network of a first type, and obtaining a location-based operating parameter from the first wireless network. The method further includes checking the validity of the location-based operating parameter obtained from the first wireless network. If the location-based operating parameter obtained from the first wireless network is not valid, then the method further includes searching for a second wireless network of a second type, and updating the location-based operating parameter from the second wireless network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicants: Verizon Corporate Resources Group LLC, Verizon Business Network Services Inc.Inventors: Iftekhar Rahman, Eric Wu
