  • Patent number: 6987755
    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.

  • Publication number: 20020111166
    Abstract: A method for selecting a preferred cell in a wireless communication system is provided that includes broadcasting cell reselection parameters from the preferred cell. The cell reselection parameters include a cell reselection offset and a timer parameter. The cell reselection offset and the timer parameter comprise values such that a cell reselection criterion for the preferred cell is greater than cell reselection criteria for non-preferred cells. A location update request is received from a mobile device. A determination is made regarding whether the mobile device is authorized. The location update from the mobile device is accepted when the mobile device is authorized.

  • Patent number: 6078607
    Abstract: In a first embodiment of the invention, two sets of seven PN-sequences of length 128 are provided having favorable correlation properties for use as a preamble or midamble synchronization code. At the receiver a processor may be used to detect the code. In another aspect of the invention, a communication system using a synchronization code selected from sets of provided codes is claimed where the synchronization code may help to minimize possible misidentification of noise or interference by assisting in the detection of the start of a designated burst. The synchronization codes and their means for detection may be employed in various communication systems.
