Abstract: A personal mobility system determines a terminal address corresponding to a called user based upon a personal identifier of the called user. The personal mobility system operates in conjunction with a plurality of heterogeneous networks to provide the terminal address corresponding to the called user, independent of the particular network within which the called user currently operates. The personal mobility system includes a personal mobility user application and a personal mobility server application. The personal mobility user application receives a request from a calling user, the request including the personal identifier of a called user. The personal mobility server application couples to the personal mobility user application and includes a plurality of user records. Each user record is respective to a user and is indexed by a respective personal identifier. Further, each user record includes a plurality of terminal records with each of the terminal records including a respective terminal address.

Abstract: While setting up a fixed wireless system, each subscriber radiotelephone is configured to a permanent home cell. Subscribers located at the border of a cell may be configured to multiple cells for better coverage. The signal levels at the border subscriber's position are received and the mean values of each determined. These mean values are listed in descending order. If the largest mean value is greater than a predetermined threshold, the subscriber is configured to only the home cell. If the largest mean value is within a predetermined range, the second largest mean value is evaluated to determine if it is within the predetermined range. If so, the subscriber is configured to both serving cells. If the second largest mean value is outside the predetermined range, the subscriber is configured to only the home cell.
