Patent number: 9137832Abstract: A provided apparatus is caused to direct establishment of a connection of the apparatus with a core network via a wide area radio access network (RAN), where the core network is coupled to an external network. The apparatus is also caused to select or receive selection of a local area network that is coupled to the same or different external network via one or more local gateways (L-GWs). The apparatus is caused to request selection of a L-GW of the one or more L-GWs from the core network via the wide area RAN, and in response, receive an identity of a selected L-GW. Further, the apparatus is caused to direct contact with the selected L-GW based on the identity, and establishment of a connection of the apparatus with the selected L-GW. The apparatus may thereby be connected to the external network via the local area network and selected L-GW.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Mika Rinne, Heikki Kokkinen, Sami Kekki, Klaus Doppler

Patent number: 8437757Abstract: Improved systems and methods for establishing peer-to-peer calls such as voice over IP calls and video over IP calls. In various embodiments of the invention, SMTP messages are exchanged between devices using a SMTP server, with the SMTP messages including IP address information. With this arrangement, the need for SIP service providers can be eliminated. In other embodiments of the present invention, SMS messages including IP address information are transmitted between devices during a GSM or other type of telephone call, enabling the call to “migrate” to a VoIP or video over IP call.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Manish Varma, Sami Makelainen, Ville Aarni, Tommy Lindgren, Teemu Harju, Matti Vesterinen, Javier Lafuente, Jaakko Teinila, Harri Hakulinen, Heikki Kokkinen
