Abstract: A wireless device including a first communication module, a second communication module, and a processor. The first communication module is configured to communicate with a cellular antenna tower of a cellular network. The second communication module is configured to communicate with a device associated with a Wi-Fi network. The processor is configured to determine a first territorial range in which the wireless device is located based on a location of the cellular antenna tower of the cellular network, determine a second territorial range in which the wireless device is located based on a location of the device associated with the Wi-Fi network, and in response to the second territorial range being within the first territorial range, establish a location of the wireless device as being within the second territorial range.

Abstract: A system for transmitting data packets includes a sending node. The sending node includes means for forming the data packets using two or more communications protocols. A first protocol includes means to associate with a data load a first header having one or more fields. A second protocol includes means to associate with the data load a second header having one or more fields. The sending node includes compression means for removing one or more fields of the first header. A value of a removed field is predictable by reference to values of one or more fields of the second protocol. A predefined template is used to remove the one or more fields of the first header for compression and to replace the removed field for decompression. The predefined template is identified by a template number included in an added header.

Abstract: The present invention is a phonebook system including a mobile, wireless communications device having a microprocessor and user interface giving the user the capability of inputting, accessing, and modifying communication recipient identities, state data required to establish and/or enhance a communication session between the communications device and one or more recipients, and expanded information data.

Abstract: A communications processor includes a first upper layer module to execute one or more upper layer protocols and a data link layer module to execute a data link layer protocol. A host processor includes a second upper layer module to execute the one or more upper layer protocols. A switching module causes the communications processor to operate in a first state or a second state. The communications processor executes only the data link layer protocol and none of the one or more upper layer protocols when the communications processor operates in the first state, and executes the data link layer protocol and the one or more upper layer protocols when the communications processor operates in the second state. The power saving module prevents the host processor from executing the one or more upper layer protocols executed by the communications processor when the communications processor operates in the second state.

Abstract: The present invention is a system of reception or transmission of media data, such as for audio or video streams, so that data communications alternate transmission or reception routes between available communications networks, choosing among parallel or single communications paths a most efficient and/or most reliable path for transmission of media packets.

Abstract: Security is provided for an inside network (14) by a security host (26). Connection request messages sent from source hosts (22) in an outside network (12) are intercepted (94) in the security host (26) and prevented from being transmitted on the inside network (14). The user of the source host (22) then establishes a connection (78) to the security host (26) where a dialog session (80, 98, 100) occurs to confirm the user's authenticity and authorization. After the user is confirmed, the intercepted connection request message is released (116) for transmission on the inside network (14) where the intended application service will respond and a communication session will commence.
