Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for facilitating payment between mobile devices through respective mobile service providers. Access to a payment system is provided through a universal mobile device keyboard with a payment key embedded within the universal mobile device keyboard. Selecting the payment key may initiate the payment between a user and a message recipient through their respective mobile device accounts.

Abstract: A wireless network of a first type receives a request for network entry from a mobile station. A service continuity query is sent to a service node. A service continuity response is received from the service node. The service continuity response includes a network access identifier. The network access identifier is determined to be associated with an existing session on a wireless network of a second type. The existing session is using a mobile internet protocol address. On the wireless network of the first type, a session is assigned the mobile internet protocol address.

Abstract: A wireless communication network enables a user to select data communication accounting systems. A wireless communication device attaches to a wireless access system, and the wireless access system transfers network data characterizing Billing Identifiers (BIDs) to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device processes the network data in combination with a user-prioritized list of accounting names to select one of the BIDs. The wireless communication device transfers the selected BID to the wireless access system, and the wireless access system directs a gateway system to use the selected BID for the wireless communication device. The gateway system exchanges user data for the wireless communication device and transfers usage data to the data communication accounting systems that is identified by the selected BID.

Abstract: A wireless communication device displays network names and accounting names and responsively receives user inputs indicating user-priority for network names and accounting names. The device wirelessly attaches to a first one of the wireless access systems having a first one of network names and a first one of System Identifiers (SIDs) and responsively receives network data characterizing SIDs and BIDs (Billing Identifiers). The device processes the network data characterizing SIDs and BIDs in combination with user-priority for network names and accounting names to determine a second one of SIDs for a second one of the wireless access systems. The device wirelessly attaches to the second one of the wireless access systems having the second one of SIDs, displays the second one of the network names for the second one of the wireless access systems, and wirelessly exchanges user data with the second one of the wireless access systems.

Abstract: A wireless communication network exchanges wireless data with wireless communication devices and transfers device data indicating device locations and device status to a network server. A sensor system detects a trigger condition and responsively determines proximate wireless communication devices. The sensor system transfers indications of the trigger condition and the currently proximate wireless communication devices to the network server. The network server processes the device data, trigger condition, and proximate wireless communication devices to generate notice data indicating the trigger condition and to select at least one of the wireless communication devices for receipt of the notice data. The network server transfers the notice data to the selected wireless communication devices over the wireless communication network.

Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises a processing system and a communication transceiver. The processing system is configured to determine a location and a velocity of the wireless communication device. The communication transceiver is configured to monitor an RF signal between the wireless communication device and a wireless access node to detect a reduction in RF signal quality. If the reduction in the RF signal quality is detected, the processing system is configured to process the location to determine if the wireless communication device is proximate to an edge sector of the wireless access node, and if so, process the velocity to determine if the wireless communication device is moving towards the wireless access node. The processing system is configured to inhibit a handoff to another wireless access node if the wireless communication device is moving towards the wireless access node, but if not moving towards the wireless access node, to initiate the handoff to the other wireless access node.

Abstract: A wireless communication network estimates User Equipment (UE) Quality of Service (QoS). The wireless communication network processes a signal strength metric measured by the UE to select an RF coverage module. The wireless communication network process the selected RF coverage module to determine an RF coverage score. The RF coverage score represents the amount of overlapping RF coverage. The wireless communication network processes the RF coverage score to select an application module. The wireless communication network processes the application module to identify a service module. The wireless communication network processes the service module based on RF parameters measured by the UE to estimate a QoS for the UE. The wireless communication network transfers the estimated QoS to the UE.

Abstract: A wireless network authorization system receives an authorization request for a wireless communication device transmitted from a visited wireless network. A processing system selects one of a simple internet connection and an encrypted internet connection for the wireless communication device in response to the authorization request. The communication interface transfers an authorization response for delivery to the visited wireless network indicating the selected one of the simple internet connection and the encrypted internet connection.
