Abstract: The present example provides for modification of the link supervision timer allows for an enhanced user experience with wireless devices, by allowing loss of the wireless link to be handled more effectively. The link supervision timer may be changed without modifying the device profile being used. The change in the timer may be based upon the profile of the communications that is occurring, and upon the current state of the communications.

Abstract: A wireless device, system and method that receive a downloadable file from a wide area network are described. The system comprises a wireless device, a computer and a computer software module. The computer is communicatively coupled to a modem that communicates with a wide area network. The computer further comprises a computer wireless communications module that communicates with at least one wireless device that is in proximity to the computer. The wireless device comprises a device memory, a first wireless device communications module that is configured to communicate with the computer wireless module, and a device display that displays a link that corresponds to a downloadable file accessible using the wide area network. The computer software module resides on the computer and receives the link from the wireless device.

Abstract: A wireless voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) system comprises a VOIP-enabled wireless communication device (WCD) and a VOIP gateway. The WCD includes a short-range wireless interface and a client application configured to place and receive VOIP calls through the short-range wireless interface. The VOIP gateway includes a short-range wireless interface for communicating with the WCD, a network interface for communicating with the Internet, and a VOIP service client configured to communicate with a VOIP service over the Internet by way of the network interface. The VOIP gateway also includes a proxy server configured to act as an interface between the WCD client application and the VOIP service client and to route the VOIP calls through the gateway's short-range wireless interface.
