Patent number: 8805371Abstract: In general, a method performed on a portable access terminal operating in an active mode includes detecting a presence of a personal base station. An encoded identification message transmitted from the personal base station is received, and the encoded identification message includes a unique identifier associated with the personal base station. The encoded identification message is decoded to extract the unique identifier, and the unique identifier is transmitted to a source network entity.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2009Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Airvana LPInventors: Andrew Richardson, Jindong Hou

Patent number: 8542707Abstract: In general, a method performed on a personal base station includes transmitting a first pilot signal to a portable access terminal operating in an idle mode in a macrocell that uses a first carrier frequency. The first pilot signal is transmitted in the first carrier frequency to allow the portable access terminal to temporarily connect to the first pilot signal. A second pilot signal is transmitted in a second frequency that is different than the first frequency. The portable access terminal is dispelled from the first pilot signal, and the portable access terminal is allowed to connect to the second pilot signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Airvana LLCInventors: Jindong Hou, Andrew Richardson, Kenneth Jones

Publication number: 20100103829Abstract: A telecommunications system having a plurality of access networks, each of which can provide a facility for mobile terminals to communicate data in accordance with a communications service when in a coverage area provided by the access networks. The telecommunications system includes a mobility manager which receives network evaluation messages from a mobile terminal which provide an indication of a quality of communications available via a communications link with one or more of the plurality of access networks, which are currently available for communicating data. The mobility manager identifies one of the access networks with which the mobile terminal should be affiliated for communicating the data via a communications link provided with the access network based on an amount of power, which the mobile terminal may consume when communicating via the identified access network, and communicates an instruction to the mobile terminal to change affiliation to the identified access network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2007Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: FRANCE TELECOMInventors: Bastien Murzeau, Jean-Louis Fuccellaro, Jindong Hou

Publication number: 20090022295Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and system to enable network intelligence and user mobility awareness in a system with a dynamic and optimized single number solution. In particular, the invention uses a mobility management service or mobility manager that provides a mobility awareness single number system, which keeps up-to-date information about service availability for different types of services. This way, the single number manager can consider both the user service preferences and current service availabilities to designate the most appropriate service choice for the information exchange between the communicating parties. Since the single number service is dynamically adapted to user network position, the invention avoids all the inefficiencies associated with unavailable services.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: FRANCE TELECOMInventor: Jindong Hou
