Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for migrating a control of a wireless communication service provided to a mobile station (MS) in a first network depending on a first technology to a second network depending on a second technology. When receiving a request for the wireless communication service in the first network by a mobile switch center (MSC), at least one instruction is obtained to grant or deny the wireless communication service from a first control device in the second network, the first control device providing the instruction based on its communication to a management subsystem for the control of the wireless communication service. If the wireless communication service is granted, a second control device in the first network controlled by the first control device allows the MS to execute the wireless communication service with a receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and network node for controlling packet flow in a buffer means (13; 14) of a network node of a data network, wherein a nominal capacity is assigned to each data flow, and an additional or free capacity is shifted from a first flow portion to a second flow portion when a new data packet of said second flow portion has been received and said nominal capacity has been exceeded. The nominal capacity may be an upper buffer memory limit used for controlling queuing of data packets in a buffer memory (13) of said buffer means, wherein the memory space of the buffer memory (13) is shared between a plurality of channels allocated to respective packet data connections. Then, the free capacity corresponds to a memory space shifted from a first channel to a second channel, when a new data packet of the second channel has been received and not enough memory space is available for the second channel.

Abstract: A method and system is provided to allow wireless systems to support many new voice and data services. An example of a service provided is the ability to switch a requested voice call into a packet data call and vise versa without the interaction of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for passing information required by a wireless procedure in a hybrid wireless network (300) before the procedure is invoked, the hybrid wireless network (300) having at least one radio access network (304, 306, 307) based on a first technology and a core network (302) based on a second technology. The hybrid network (300) implements a special mobile switching center (308) to be a “double agent” passing information between the mobile terminal (310, 320, 364) and entities in its core network (302). In the context of messaging, the message contents may be encoded, packaged, and decoded appropriately. The present disclosure does not introduce any changes to telecommunication standards such as the GSM and CDMA standards governing the messaging process.

Abstract: Provided is a method and system for minimizing call setup delay in a network. The system includes a central node that may be connected to multiple home location registers (HLRs) and a number portability database (NPDB). The central node may also be associated with two tables. The first table includes mobile station identifiers and associated location routing numbers (LRNs), and the second table includes mobile station identifiers and associated home location registers (HLRs). The method searches the first and second tables for a mobile station identifier that matches a mobile station identifier associated with a call. If a match is found, the method uses the associated LRN or HLR to continue with the call setup or to obtain further information. If no match is found, the method sends a query to the NPDB. The method may also dynamically update the first and second tables as current information is obtained.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system (100) for obtaining the geographical position (latitude, longitude) of mobile station (MS) such as a CDMA 1x handheld mobile device (102) when it is in a packet mode session. The disclosed method and system allows the mobile station (102) to transparently switch from data to voice session tentatively, determines the geographical position thereof, and then switches back to the packet data mode and resume the data session.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for providing allocation of resources depending on the characteristics of the flow request. The system allocates resources based upon at least one of the parameters class of service, delay requirement and bandwidth requirement of the flow request. During a call process, the system keeps updating the service rate allocated to meet the QoS requirement of a new flow request, the updated service rate being allocated to a new flow request of the same type. The system learns the traffic pattern and adjusts a current airlink performance to allocate a service rate to flows.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for providing data services to a wireless mobile in a hybrid network.

Abstract: A method of selecting which one of a number of wireless station is to be allocated a particular transmit opportunity is provided, for example the opportunity to transmit an air interface unit such as a MAC frame. For each wireless station, a transaction length is maintained indicating how many transmit opportunities are required to transmit an upper layer packet to or from the wireless station, and a delay parameter is also maintained for each wireless station indicative of how long since the wireless station was last selected. A group of wireless stations to compete for the right to transmit or receive during the particular transmit opportunity is selected, and for each of the group of the wireless stations, a transmit priority is computed which is a function of transaction length and the delay parameter.

Abstract: A method for scheduling data packets from a plurality of flows into a single flow. Data packets are broken into data segments and assigned a slack value based on how long the segment can wait until transmission begins. Every time a transmission opportunity passes, the slack value of the segment is decreased. The scheduler prioritizes the segments based on their slack value.

Abstract: Provided is a method and system for enabling mobile devices, radio access networks (RANs), and core networks (CNs) based on different specifications and underlying technologies to communicate. The mobile device and the RAN may be based on one technology, such as a code division multiple access (CDMA) specification, while the CN may be based on another technology, such as a global system for mobile communications (GSM) specification. The method takes a CDMA message received by the RAN, converts it into a corresponding GSM message, and passes it to the CN. Alternatively, a new GSM message may be created. Similarly, a GSM message from the CN may be converted into a CDMA message (or a new CDMA message may be created) and the CDMA message passed on to the RAN. The method may also initiate a function or procedure in one portion of a network using one technology when a certain message is received from another portion of the network using a different technology.
