Abstract: A resonance magnetic coupling (RMC) communication may be enabled between devices. A device may use a discovery mechanism to transmit and exchange information. A device may use the discovery mechanism to establish a RMC communication channel and may determine its parameterization. A device using a RMC communication may transmit a discovery signal to determine channelization and/or properties of the RMC link. The discovery signal may be generated in the form of a beacon transmission. A signal sequence may be employed for a discovery signal. A device using a RMC communication may transmit a sequence of beacon or discovery signals to track characteristics of the RMC link. Beacon scheduling may be used for RMC communications, and the communication channel may not be static and may be a function of distance and orientation. A device using a RMC communication may sense the channel for potential beacon or sequence signals from other devices.

Abstract: A system receives an electronic message over the internet at a WebRTC gateway (WRG) of a telecommunications network. The system forwards the electronic message to a call session control function (CSCF) using session initiation protocol (SIP). The system detects a failed delivery of the electronic message at a rich communication service configured to deliver and monitor delivery of the electronic message and report failed deliveries. The system generates a failed delivery notification indicating that the electronic message was not delivered. The system receives the failed delivery notification at the WRG and at the WRG converts the electronic message to either a short messaging service (SMS) or multimedia messaging service (MMS) message. The system sends the SMS or MMS message from the WRG to the CSCF using SIP. The system forwards the SMS or MMS message to a short message service center (SMSC), which delivers the SMS or MMS message.
