  • Patent number: 11950266
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for supporting wireless access network service request capability in a user equipment (UE) device that is operable in wide area cellular network (WACN) bands as well as in wireless access network bands (e.g., GAN bands and/or UMA bands). The UE device includes capability for gaining Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity with a wireless access network node (e.g., a GAN controller (GANC) or UMA network controller (UNC)). Thereafter, the UE device is operable to initiate a registration request message towards the wireless access network node, wherein the registration request message includes at least one information element pertaining to wireless access network services required by the UE device.

  • Patent number: 11792875
    Abstract: A user equipment implements a method of processing indication messages, such as SCRI (signalling connection release indication) messages. The user equipment (UE) maintains a count of how many indication messages with a cause set have been sent by the UE while in at least one radio resource control (RRC) state. Various conditions are provided for resetting the count. These include receiving packet switched (PS) data by the UE and transmitting packet switched (PS) data.

  • Patent number: 9521657
    Abstract: A user equipment implements a method of processing indication messages, such as SCRI (signaling connection release indication) messages. For at least one RRC (radio resource control) state, if the current RRC state of the UE is a result of a previously sent indication, the UE inhibits itself from sending a further indication message.

  • Patent number: 9491290
    Abstract: A method is performed by a message-originating communication device. The method includes inputting, by the device's user interface, a request to deliver a message to a first address. The device accesses, in response to receiving the request, a memory to determine a second address that is associated in the memory with the first address. The device then transmits the message to the first address and transmits the message to the second address.

  • Patent number: 9144104
    Abstract: A user equipment implements a method of processing indication messages, such as SCRI (signalling connection release indication) messages. If upper layers indicate that there is no more packet switched data for a prolonged period, then if a count of how many indication messages have been triggered in at least one RRC (radio resource control) state is less than a maximum number, the UE increments the count, and a cause is set in the indication message, and the indication message is sent.
