  • Patent number: 8649809
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for exchanging messages in a mobile radio system by means of a convergent messaging system, which allows an exchange of messages between the terminals of two or more users. According to the invention, a message thread is detected by one of the terminals as soon as a terminal receives a response to a previously sent message, wherein the detection of a message thread by this terminal triggers a recording of the message exchange in the convergent messaging system.

  • Patent number: 8391853
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cellular mobile radio telephone system and to a method for operating a cellular mobile radio network, in which mobile radio terminals can be checked in order to use the services of the mobile radio network. According to the invention, each mobile radio terminal that is checked into the mobile radio network can be uniquely identified by a subscriber identity, the subscriber identity of a checked-in mobile radio terminal is compared with a list of released subscriber identities and if there is a match, the use of services of the mobile radio network is released. If no match is found for the subscriber identity on the list of released subscriber identities, the use of the services of this mobile radio network is blocked and/or a general block is placed on the use of all mobile radio networks for said mobile radio terminal.

  • Publication number: 20110117932
    Abstract: A method for checking the location of a femtocell includes receiving, by the femtocell and by a reference receiver having a known location, radio signals from at least three transmitters disposed at known locations. Each of the transmitters is at least one of a broadcast transmitter and a pilot radio signal transmitter configured to broadcast a pilot radio signal for checking the location of the femtocell in a frequency range outside frequency ranges used for mobile communication. Differences in delay of the radio signals from two of the at least three transmitters are determined based on reception times of the radio signals received by the femtocell and the reference receiver. The location of the femtocell is checked based on the determined differences in delay.
