  • Patent number: 9148846
    Abstract: A method for intelligent network selection includes collecting, by a subscriber unit or an infrastructure device network state condition information for a plurality of networks when the subscriber unit is currently attached to a first access network. Upon detection of a trigger, the subscriber unit or the infrastructure device selects a second access network using the network station condition information. The subscriber unit detaches from the first access network and attaches to the second access network.

  • Patent number: 9137735
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for distributing wireless local area network (WLAN) access information to a wireless communication device based on a current coverage area that the wireless communication device is located in. A location services server can determine, based on a current location of the wireless communication device, a current coverage area of the wireless communication device, and transmit information identifying the current coverage area to a directory services server. Based on the current coverage area, the public safety directory services server can determine relevant WLAN access information for the current coverage area, and transmit a message to the wireless communication device that includes the relevant WLAN access information.

  • Publication number: 20050076040
    Abstract: A method, and apparatus for, providing a system version, associated with a communications system, for example a cellular communications system (1), wherein there are a plurality of different system versions, for example different system configurations, represented by nodes (31-34) in a genealogy tree (30) with respective change logs (36, 38, 40) defining changes made between system versions of linked nodes, the method comprising: selecting a system version to be provided; selecting a storage space, for example in a database (28); determining a path through the genealogy tree (30) from a node of the tree previously associated with the selected storage space to the node of the system version selected to be provided; and applying those operation change logs present on the determined path through the genealogy tree (30), thereby providing the selected system version. The method and apparatus may be implemented in an operations and maintenance centre (OMC) (16).
