Patent number: 7768994Abstract: A data transmission method and apparatus for performing a data transmission between end terminals of a telecommunication network, where the data is transmitted from at least one of the end terminals using the first data bearer. Then, data transmission is switched from the first to the second data bearer, if a predetermined bearer need condition has been determined or in order to obtain a subscriber identity used for gathering charging data. The network service provided by the operator can be improved, since the bearer switching allows an increase of the overall speed of the data transmission, an adaptation of the bearer bandwidth to the data amount, and a provision of the subscriber identity. The first data bearer may be a USSD or SMS data bearer, and the second data bearer may be a circuit-switched data bearer or a GPRS bearer, or vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Petri Tuomainen, Teemu Tarnanen

Publication number: 20050147058Abstract: A digital mobile communication system is provided with a facility by means of which it can establish a connection to the Internet network via an Internet access point “(IAP”). IAP settings needed for establishing a connection are stored in a mobile station. When a mobile station roams, the closest point may, however, change, and IAP settings should be updated in the mobile station. The invention comprises dividing the mobile communication system into IAP areas, which are given preferred IAPs. For example, an IAP area may be a mobile communication network. Mobile communication networks broadcast system information on the basis of which a mobile station may detect that the LAP area has changed and start a procedure for updating IAP settings. Updating may comprise retrieval of IAP settings from a special server in the network maintained by an Internet service provider. For example, retrieval can be done via a short message service center.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Teemu Tarnanen, Abbas Moslemie

Patent number: 6904026Abstract: A digital mobile communication system is provided with a facility by means of which it can establish a connection to the Internet network (12) via an Internet access point (14, 15). IAP settings needed for establishing a connection are stored in a mobile station (MS). When a mobile station (MS) roams, the closest point may, however, change, and IAP settings should be updated in the mobile station (MS). The invention comprises dividing the mobile communication system into IAP areas, which are given preferred IAPs. An IAP area may be e.g. a mobile communication network (11, 17). Mobile communication networks broadcast system information on the basis of which a mobile station may detect that the IAP area has changed and start a procedure for updating IAP settings. Updating may comprise retrieval of IAP settings from a special server (13) in the network maintained by an Internet service provider. Retrieval can be done e.g. via a short message service center (10).Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1998Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Teemu Tarnanen, Abbas Moslemie

Patent number: 6834196Abstract: In the GSM and similar systems, USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) transfer takes place on a fast channel if a mobile station is involved in that call, and otherwise on a slow channel. The USSD transfer can be switched to the fast channel by determining the amount of data to be transmitted. If the amount of data to be transmitted is likely to exceed a predetermined threshold, and if the mobile station is not involved in a call, a call attempt is initiated for switching the USSD transfer to the fast channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2001Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Nokia Networks OyInventors: Teemu Tarnanen, Sami Yliharjii

Publication number: 20040199649Abstract: A system and method is provided that allows alternative messaging routes when Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message delivery fails. Automatic retry mechanisms are put into place to automatically retry transmission of a failed SIP message. In one embodiment, a mobile terminal having received a failed SIP delivery message, automatically instantiates a Short Message Service (SMS) message delivery. In another embodiment, a Short Message Service Center (SMSC)/SIP proxy instantiates message retry mechanisms based on a previously configured schedule. A legacy SMS device may also initiate an SMS message to the SMSC/SIP proxy, whereby the SMSC/SIP proxy initiates either SMS or SIP retry mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2003Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Teemu Tarnanen, Michael Rooke

Patent number: 6721575Abstract: A method for performing USSD transfer between a mobile station and a cellular communications network. The USSD transfer has a maximum data rate equal to the data rate of an associated control channel. The method comprises the following steps: 1) evaluating a set of factors in favor of the maximum data rate, for forming a totality of factors, the totality being at least partly independent of the existence of the associated channel prior to said evaluating; 2) comparing the totality of factors to a predetermined margin; and 3) performing the USSD transfer substantially at the maximum data rate in response to a positive result in said comparison, and otherwise at a lower data rate.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Nokia Networks OyInventors: Teemu Tarnanen, Sami Yliharju

Publication number: 20020163938Abstract: The present invention relates to a data transmission method and apparatus for performing a data transmission between end terminals of a telecommunication network, particularly a data transmission between an origin server and a mobile client. The data is transmitted from at least one of the end terminals using the first data bearer. Then, data transmission is switched from the first to the second data bearer, if a predetermined bearer need condition has been determined or in order to obtain a subscriber identity used for gathering charging data. Thereby, the network service provided by the operator can be improved, since the bearer switching allows an increase of the overall speed of the data transmission, an adaptation of the bearer bandwidth to the data amount, and a provision of the subscriber identity.

Patent number: 6321257Abstract: Internet service in a digital mobile communication network by means of short message service. The short message service center is connected to the Internet network and uses the HTML, HTTP, and TCP/IP Internet network protocols. Short messages are transferred between the service center and mobile stations. The user submits to the service center a short message containing an identifier of a WWW servicer via the Internet network, receives the WWW page and stores it. The relevant part, which maybe identified by a predetermined criterion, common to all subscribers, or based on a criterion received from the mobile station, such as a keyword, is separated from the WWW page and sent to the mobile station in a short message. The mobile station processes the received message and displays it to the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1999Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Nokia Telecommunications OyInventors: Sakari Kotola, Teemu Tarnanen, Patrik Gustafsson
