Abstract: The present invention provides isothermal multitube reactors suitable for the production of chlorinated and/or fluorinated propene and higher alkenes from the reaction of chlorinated and/or fluorinated alkanes and chlorinated and/or fluorinated alkenes. The reactors utilize a feed mixture inlet temperature at least 20° C. different from a desired reaction temperature.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are presented for generating unique MSIDs for access terminals (AT) that do not present an MSID to the access network controller (ANC). The electronic serial number (ESN) of the AT is first converted to an ASCII character string representing the unsigned decimal equivalent of the 32 bit ESN. The ASCII string is padded with leading “0” (zeros), if necessary, to create a 10 character string. The ANC generates a 5 character string unique to all 1xEVDO networks then concatenates the two strings to create a unique 15 character string. The created 15 character string is then presented to the PDSN to establish a network session.

Abstract: The present invention supports a secure transmissions protocol for information packet transmission between a Mobile Node and a Foreign Agent. The information packets are encrypted and decrypted using an integrated software client that combines mobile IP communication support and encrypting and decrypting protocols.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for dynamically redirecting mobile terminal home agent selection in a mobile IP network. A provisioning server assigns a preferred home agent to a group of mobile terminals based on one of a subscriber special services, subscriber connectivity, and home agent capacity. The provisioning server transmits the preferred home agent address to a home authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server which updates a AAA database. The mobile terminal seeking access to the mobile IP network first registers with a configured home agent address stored in the mobile terminal. The configured home agent communicates with the home AAA server to authenticate the mobile terminal. The home AAA server fails the mobile terminal authentication request and provides the address of the preferred home agent. The mobile terminal reregisters with the preferred home agent to access the mobile IP network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for the reservation of dynamic IP addresses to enable a push server to initiate a PDP context as a part of providing push service without timing out. More specifically, in one embodiment of the invention, a push server generates a query to a domain name server to get the subscriber's IP address based upon the provided domain name. In this case, the subscriber is the person that is to receive the push data. The domain name server then generates a message to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to prompt it to reserve a dynamic IP address for the mobile subscriber. The DHCP server then returns the reserved “leased address” to the DNS server to enable it to perform a dynamic DNS update. The DNS server then returns the subscriber address to the push server. The push server then initiates a context activation.

Abstract: A foreign agent routes data packets according to policy based routing information maintained by the home network. The policy may be network based or may be subscriber profile based as defined in an authentication, authorization, and accounting server. The policy routes data packets according to one of an address specified in the mobile IP header and an application type. The address specified in the mobile IP header is typically within a range of addresses within the home network. The foreign agent routes data packets of the specified policy type directly to the home agent server. Data packets that are not of the specified policy type are routed directly to an Internet access point.

Abstract: A packet data service node is formed to establish an “always on” connection with a mobile terminal by way of a packet control function card or device with the ability to determine when a mobile terminal no longer requires a previously established point-to-point protocol communication link. More specifically, the PDSN formed according to one embodiment of the present invention, includes an inactivity timer and corresponding logic to prompt it to generate an LCP Echo Request to the mobile terminal after expiration of the inactivity timer. Each time data or control signals are received from the mobile terminal, the inactivity timer is reset. Upon expiration of the timer, the PDSN generates the LCP Echo Request.

Abstract: A 1xEVDO network includes an access terminal that generates an access terminal ID as a part of the call setup signals it generates when setting up a data call. In order to determine whether the user ID is authorized to access the 1xEVDO wireless data network, a AAA server is formed to include a table that identifies authorized access terminals, by access terminal ID, for access to the 1xEVDO wireless data packet network. In one embodiment of the present invention, the wireless access terminal also is formed to perform an algorithmic calculation upon a received random number and to produce the results to an access network controller. The AAA server, then, is formed to determine whether the results produced by the access terminal are correct. In one embodiment of the invention, the AAA server is formed to perform the same algorithmic calculation.

Abstract: A packet data service node is formed to establish an “always on” connection with a mobile terminal by way of a packet control function card or device with the ability to determine when a mobile terminal no longer requires a previously established point-to-point protocol communication link. Thus, to prevent unnecessary communications after a mobile terminal loses RF, the PDSN transmits a PPP inactivity timer remaining timer to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal then generates communication s signals to the PDSN after regaining RF based upon an internal counter value initialized with the received PPP inactivity time remaining counter. In the described embodiment, the timer remaining timer value is equal to the inactivity timer summed with a total amount of time expected to be expended (in a worst case situation) soliciting responses from the mobile terminal with pings (e.g., LCP-Echo-Requests).

Abstract: According to a method of controlling access to a prepaid packet data communication service, a prepaid server transmits a resource response in response to receipt of a resource request for prepaid resources from a prepaid client. The resource response specifies a quota of prepaid resources no greater than a prepaid account balance of a prepaid service subscriber and a resource usage threshold at which the prepaid client provides notification. The prepaid client then receives a notification from the prepaid client indicating that the threshold of prepaid resources has been reached, and in response to the notification, performs an accounting updating reflecting a portion of the prepaid account balance that has been consumed.
