Abstract: In response to a need for communication of uplink data on the radio link of a wireless network between a terminal and a node, participation in a setup procedure for establishing a data connection on the radio link takes place. A first control message indicative of a delay requirement of the uplink data is communicated during the setup procedure. During the setup procedure and in response to said communicating of the first control message, a second control message is selectively communicated which rejects the data connection.

Abstract: A mobile communication device (100) sends a request (402) to a bootstrap server (310). The request (402) indicates selection information for selecting bootstrap data at the bootstrap server (310). The bootstrap server (310) selects the bootstrap data and sends the selected bootstrap data (404) to the mobile communication device (100). The mobile communication device (100) receives the selected bootstrap data (404) and, depending on the received bootstrap data (404), configures settings for management of the mobile communication device by a device management server (210).

Abstract: A wireless communication device provides a method of certificate-based access control. Particularly, the device establishes a secure communications session with a device management server. Rather than use access control lists to control access to the functions and services on the device, however, the device uses the certificate that was employed to establish the secure session to control access.

Abstract: A Device Management system includes a device management server used by a network operator to manage one or more mobile devices operating in a wireless communications network. The device management server provides the mobile devices with Representational State Transfer (REST) commands to be executed by the mobile devices. The REST commands identify a location of one or more files on a network server that, when executed by the mobile devices, allows the devices to retrieve the files from the server, or directly from a data storage system accessible to the mobile device. The device management server may also provide the mobile devices with REST commands that allow the mobile devices to upload and store their files and information onto the network server at the specified location.

Abstract: A UE is described herein that has a defined QoS database which is used to organize and store various QoS parameter sets which are used to help establish media flows. In one embodiment, the QoS database includes a plurality of tables, where each table is associated with a particular application, and where each table has a plurality of rows, and where each row includes a media type, a requested QoS parameter set, and an optional minimum QoS parameter set. An operator can use a communication network to populate/provision the QoS database. An operator can also use the communication network to fine-tune (update) the QoS database which enables them to enhance the bearer QoS for existing applications and to enable the appropriate bearer QoS for future applications.

Abstract: Communication devices that include one or more software components can determine whether a software component is missing, notify a computer server of a software component determined as missing, and request a download of the missing software component to the device.

Abstract: A system and method for discovery of and access to service in a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) environment by user equipment (UE) when roaming. The UE may be associated with a plurality of URLs including a home URL and a symbolic URL. When the UE is roaming, the symbolic URL is resolved by a local DNS server to a local URL that is assessed by a local Service Discovery server to determine the MBMS services that may be accessed by the UE in the visiting network. Further, when roaming, the home URL is resolved by the local DNS server and forwarded to a home Service Discovery server where the home URL is assessed to determine the MBMS services that may be accessed by the UE in the home network. Accordingly, the UE is operable to access home network MBMS services as well as visiting network MBMS services when roaming.

Abstract: Services to user equipment in communication networks, and in particular basic operational services, are controlled through a device management object through which services are selectively disabled and enabled.

Abstract: A communication element used for remote management of information in a data processing apparatus includes an informational content portion and an identification portion associated with the informational content portion. During processing of the communication element, and in response to the identification portion, the informational content portion is used to produce an identifier to be associated with information contained in the informational content portion.

Abstract: Current specifications/proposals use client provisioning or device management for provisioning bearer-specific configuration and application-specific configuration of communication devices. A proxy management object (MO) can, for example, set up tunnels according to particular protocols between application MOs and a generic connectivity MO. A communication device's application configuration can then refer to such a proxy MO, and the proxy MO can refer to the connectivity MO. This enables addition of functionality like virtual private network and wireless local area network functionality without affecting the connectivity MO or the different application MOs.
