  • Patent number: 11950266
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for supporting wireless access network service request capability in a user equipment (UE) device that is operable in wide area cellular network (WACN) bands as well as in wireless access network bands (e.g., GAN bands and/or UMA bands). The UE device includes capability for gaining Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity with a wireless access network node (e.g., a GAN controller (GANC) or UMA network controller (UNC)). Thereafter, the UE device is operable to initiate a registration request message towards the wireless access network node, wherein the registration request message includes at least one information element pertaining to wireless access network services required by the UE device.

  • Patent number: 11758475
    Abstract: A method for network selection on a user equipment (UE) device and the UE device are shown. The user equipment device registers on a first network in a wide area cellular network (WACN) band and receives, from a wireless local area network (WLAN), a list of WACNs that support generic access network (GAN) capabilities. The user equipment device selects the WLAN if the first network is on the list.

  • Patent number: 11170344
    Abstract: A system for matching employment candidates to employment positions is disclosed. Measures of personality traits and optionally interests are used to match candidates to employment positions. Candidates' traits may be assessed by administering a questionnaire. A similar questionnaire may be provided to suitable employees who are already filling, or have previously filled, employment positions, in order to assess personality traits of suitable employees for each position. Results are preferably received and compared. A list of suitable jobs may then be provided to the candidate. Software and computer systems embodying the method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10588076
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to facilitate selection of a WLAN through which a mobile node communicates. Selection takes into account the geographic positioning of the mobile node. The mobile node ascertains its geographic positioning by monitoring cellular-positioning signals. And, availability of WLANs through which to communicate is ascertained by detecting signals broadcast by the WLANs.

  • Patent number: 10510067
    Abstract: An illustrative method, system, and device for communicating a message over a network between a trusted service manager and a mobile device having a security element includes the steps of: providing a message having a header field and a message field; providing a number in the header field that is unique to the mobile device; providing a message in the message field, the message coming from the mobile device if communicated from the mobile device to a trusted service manager and coming from the trusted service manager if communicated from the trusted service manager to the mobile device; and providing a messaging protocol that enables the network to distinguish between a message having the unique mobile device number in the header field and a message that is without the unique mobile device number in the header field.
