Patent number: 6735432Abstract: A mobile station communicates with both a cellular network, by which it is assigned a mobile identification number, and to a cordless cellular base station utilizing the same cellular frequency range and communications protocol. The cordless cellular base station is preferably connected to a public switched telephone network and is assigned a landline number. The cordless cellular base station acts as a conduit between the mobile station and the public switched telephone network. When the mobile station comes within range of a cordless cellular base station, it deregisters automatically from the cellular network and register with the cordless cellular base station. Once the mobile station is communicating with the cordless cellular base station, the cordless cellular base station communicates with the cellular network to instruct the cellular network to route all calls for mobile identification number to the cordless cellular base station's landline number.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1998Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: AT&T Wireless Services, Inc.Inventors: Keith Jarett, Roland E. Williams, Michael A. Raffel, Roderick Nelson, Ileana A. Leuca, Tony S. Lee, Christopher G. Lawrence, Masud Kibria, David R. Glass, Michael D. Bamburak

Publication number: 20020040390Abstract: A network system that identifies a home network of a user by a network identification in an access request. When the access request is received in a network, the accessed network extracts a network identification from the access request and determines whether the access request is received from a subscriber or non-subscriber. If a non-subscriber, then a foreign network is identified and a network identification database is consulted to retrieve contact information for the foreign network. If the contact information is successfully retrieved, then the user may be routed to the foreign network (home network of the user). Otherwise (if the contact information is not in the network identification database), the user may be denied any access, and a purchase agreement for connect services may be offered.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2001Publication date: April 4, 2002Applicant: AT&T WIRELESS SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Bryan L. Sullivan, Ileana A. Leuca

Publication number: 20020037724Abstract: A method and system automatically activates a mobile station in a wireless communications network. The system includes an over the air activation function (OTAF) processor in the network that initiates an activation process in response to receiving a registration message from a mobile switching center serving the mobile station requesting the activation. Each mobile station has a unit of information stored into it at the time of its manufacture to enable it to request over the air activation. That unit of information is either the network routing address of the OTAF processor, or alternately, it is a value that is translatable into that address, either an OTAF ID number that is the same value for every mobile station or it is a sequentially serialized dummy value for the mobile identification number (a dummy MIN). When the mobile station is turned on for the first time in the network, it requests activation over the air by transmitting to the local mobile switching center a registration order.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2001Publication date: March 28, 2002Inventors: Arun K. Chatterjee, Brian Kevin Daly, David William James Holmes, Ileana A. Leuca
