Abstract: A method for operating a wireless device configured for wireless communications includes receiving a reporting request including a reporting condition that information stored at the device is required to satisfy in order for the device to transmit the information, and initiating an uplink transmission procedure to transmit the information when the reporting condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A method advertises the existence of a subscriber profile service on a communication network. A first data request sent from a client device to an application server is intercepted. The first data request is modified by inserting an advertisement of contextual information relating to the existence of the subscriber profile service into the first data request prior to transmission to the application server. The modified data request is transmitted to the application server.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting data to a mobile device in which location data is received from the mobile device. A data packet is encapsulated in an encapsulation packet in which the encapsulation packet has a destination address corresponding to the location data. At least a portion of a network path to the device is determined based on the location data. The encapsulated data packet is decapsulated at a network switch. The data packet is transmitted to the mobile device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for improving performance of handoff in a telecommunications system having a plurality of base stations and a mobile unit in handoff communication (uplink only or in both uplink and downlink) with at least two of the base stations over at least first and second respective communications links. The first and second communications links each comprise at least one base station transceiver subsystem (BTS), at least one radio connection controller (RCC), at least one mobile switching center (MSC), and at least one transcoder or data server. The RCC checks whether a given information frame from any of the BTSs is valid. If one or more information frames is valid, then the RCC forwards a valid frame to the transcoder or a data server. If none of the received frames is valid, the RCC then decodes a R=1/n code constructed from data received from the BTSs and checks whether the decoded information frame is valid using a checksum or CRC transmitted with the information frame.

Abstract: A cellular telephone system includes a packet-switched digital data communication subsystem overlaying a circuit-switched (e.g., voice) communication subsystem, with voice and data services sharing the same voice channels. The voice communication subsystem provides voice services independently of the operation of the data communication subsystem. On the other hand, the data communication subsystem monitors use of the voice channels for voice communication, and, in response thereto, temporarily allocates one or more of the available voice channels for data service. In a preferred embodiment, each data basestation transmits, from time to time, an available-channel signature to identify those, if any, of the data-allocated channels that are not then being used to transmit voice or data.
