Abstract: Presented herein is a messaging system architecture that is referred to as an “Open Message Bus” (OMB). The OMB is a messaging system infrastructure that facilitates connectivity and communication between services. The OMB backbone may offer infrastructure services that can be leveraged by all services that connect to the OMB.

Abstract: A method and apparatus determines a physical location of a wireless infrastructure device. At least one coarse location data from an associated terminal device is determined. Additional coarse location data are stored and accumulated. The device location is considered accurate by determining that enough received coarse location data has been received.

Abstract: A communication system having a wireless trunk for connecting multiple phone lines over wireless communication links to a cellular network comprises a central telephone switch, such as a private branch exchange or key system, connected through one or more trunk lines to a wireless access communication unit. The wireless access communication unit preferably comprises a separate subscriber interface for each trunk line from the central telephone switch. The wireless access communication unit collects data from each of the subscriber interfaces, formats the data into a format compatible with an over-the-air protocol, and transmits the information over one or more wireless channels to a cellular base station. The wireless access communication unit thereby connects calls received from the central telephone switch's trunk lines over a wireless trunk to a network.

Abstract: A privacy service is provided for use in protection of user data transferred in a network, including a converged network. The privacy service extracts and measures service elements of a message containing user data. The service elements include an identity element, a trust element, a rights element and a security element. The privacy service performs security by comparing service elements with a user defined privacy policy. The privacy policy may also be based on particular factors relating to the application, context, and time of the message. In another embodiment, the privacy service provides controls that indicate when user data is misappropriated as a result of an infringement of the user defined privacy policy. Further the privacy service provides a means to audit and trace deviations from the privacy policy for the purpose of repudiation, or future defense of security threats.

Abstract: A communication system for providing wireless local loop services comprises an intelligent base station for communicating with one or more customer premises remote units (CPRUs), each of which connects to a non-wireless device. Each CPRU has a wireless transceiver for over-the-air communication with the intelligent base station. The intelligent base station connects, without the assistance of a base station controller, to a mobile switching center (MSC), through a GSM A-interface or a specialized derivative thereof, and thereby to a public switched telephone network (PSTN). The intelligent base station employs a subset of GSM functionality, enabling the CPRU to take advantage of various advanced telephony features. A transcoder and rate adapter unit may be added between the intelligent base station and the mobile switching center.

Abstract: A cellular network monitors the location of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The cellular network is also aware of the location of each data pump capable of communicating with the cellular network. The data pump capable of transmitting data at a high data rate. The cellular network coordinating a high data rate transfer between the WTRU and the data pump.

Abstract: A method for providing user notification includes generating a mobile-terminated message containing at least a portion of information to be provided to a mobile station. The method also includes communicating the mobile-terminated message to a base station. The base station is operable to communicate the mobile-terminated message to the mobile station. The method further includes determining if the mobile station acknowledges successful receipt of the mobile-terminated message. In addition, the method includes generating a mobile-originated message containing at least a portion of the information for communication to a public network if the mobile station fails to acknowledge successful receipt of the mobile-terminated message. The public network is operable to communicate the mobile-originated message to the mobile station.
