Patent number: 8516133Abstract: Methods and systems taught herein allow communication device manufacturers to preconfigure communication devices to use preliminary access credentials to gain temporary network access for downloading subscription credentials, and particularly allow the network operator issuing the subscription credentials to verify that individual devices requesting credentials are trusted. In one or more embodiments, a credentialing server is owned or controlled by the network operator, and is used by the network operator to verify that subscription credentials are issued only to trusted communication devices, even though such devices may be referred to the credentialing server by an external registration server and may be provisioned by an external provisioning server. Particularly, the credentialing server interrogates requesting devices for their device certificates and submits these device certificates to an external authorization server, e.g., an independent OCSP server, for verification.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Bernard Smeets, Luis Barriga, Mattias Eld, Vesa Petteri Lehtovirta, Krister Sällberg

Patent number: 8139598Abstract: A UE is described herein that has a defined QoS database which is used to organize and store various QoS parameter sets which are used to help establish media flows. In one embodiment, the QoS database includes a plurality of tables, where each table is associated with a particular application, and where each table has a plurality of rows, and where each row includes a media type, a requested QoS parameter set, and an optional minimum QoS parameter set. An operator can use a communication network to populate/provision the QoS database. An operator can also use the communication network to fine-tune (update) the QoS database which enables them to enhance the bearer QoS for existing applications and to enable the appropriate bearer QoS for future applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Tomas Holmström, Svante Alnås, Krister Sällberg

Patent number: 6594253Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for providing mobility management for a Mobile Station (MS) to allow the MS to receive Internet telephone calls when the MS is in idle mode. This can be accomplished by using a voice gateway to transform an incoming Internet phone call to a normal cellular voice call. In addition, by introducing a new Intelligent Network (IN) application, which handles location updates for the MS with a central Internet telephony server, an MS in idle mode can receive incoming Internet telephony calls. The IN application can obtain a temporary Internet Protocol (IP) address for the MS from a Direct Access Unit (DAU) connected to the voice gateway associated with the serving Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and register this temporary IP address with the central Internet server, which uses this temporary IP address to forward incoming Internet telephony calls to the Voice Gateway.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1998Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventors: Krister Sallberg, Mahesh Patel

Patent number: 6519252Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for providing interoperability between a cellular system's direct access to the Internet and the telephony service provided by the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), in order to allow a mobile subscriber to receive calls from the PSTN while engaged in data communication, for example, over the Internet. When a Mobile Station (MS) has an active connection to a server or router running Internet Protocol, an incoming PSTN call can be forwarded to a voice gateway within the serving Mobile Switching Center/Visitor Location Register (MSC/VLR), which transforms the call to an Internet phone call. During the direct access connection to the Internet, the MS can signal specific information, using, e.g., a prefix, to activate the call forwarding to voice gateway feature.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1997Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventor: Krister Sallberg

Patent number: 6353620Abstract: A system and method in a communications network for minimizing the number of attempts required to establish a communication between two nodes is disclosed. Each node maintains a database table composed of addresses of other nodes within the communications system. Associated with each nodal entry is a list of dialogue types that have been initiated with or terminated from the relevant node. Associated with each dialogue type entry is the most-advanced protocol version, such as the Mobile Application Part (MAP), that has been negotiated with the affiliated node for that dialogue type. When a first node wishes to initiate a dialogue with a second node, the first node checks the database table. The first node locates the second node in the table by address, locates the appropriate dialogue by type, and then determines the appropriate MAP version.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1998Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventors: Krister Sallberg, Martin Reichelt

Patent number: 6137783Abstract: A system and method for reducing or eliminating the transference of mobile terminal mobility management information caused by temporary signal interferences blocking communications is disclosed. When the distance of a mobile terminal from a base station servicing a first network system exceeds a threshold value, the mobile terminal's distances from other base stations (servicing other network systems) are determined and the shortest distance, corresponding to a second network system, is selected and control transferred. The mobility management information for the mobile terminal, however, resident within the first network system, remains within the first network system after the control transference, the information being accessible by the second network system via a packet switch interconnecting the first and second network systems.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1997Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Ericsson IncInventor: Krister Sallberg

Patent number: 6073018Abstract: A wireless communications system, such as a GSM/PCS 1900 wireless communications system, is connected to a digital network, such as the integrated services digital network (ISDN) through one or more trunks. The trunks have one or more information transfer capabilities, such as unrestricted 64 kbps data transfer rate typical in European markets or restricted data transfer rates of less than 64 kbps which can be found in North American markets. Terminal equipment, such as mobile stations, in the wireless communications system requests either restricted digital information (RDI) services or unrestricted digital information services (UDI).Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 1997Date of Patent: June 6, 2000Assignee: Ericsson IncInventor: Krister Sallberg

Patent number: 5502714Abstract: A method and an arrangement for link allocation which provide selecting a free link for a requested connection from a plurality of available route coordinated links according to a particular resource requirement of the requested connection and depending on the current resource seizure of connections that have already been established on utilized links. The establishment of a requested connection and the connections already established have the same or different resource requirement. The current resource seizure for each link resulting from the established connection or connections is stored in a memory. Each link is sorted in the memory in a link allocated memory site which corresponds to the current resource seizure of the link concerned, or the free resource capacity of the link.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1994Date of Patent: March 26, 1996Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M EricssonInventor: Krister Sallberg
