20100128677 | SERVICE CONTINUITY DURING LOCAL BREAKOUT IN A FEMTOCELL - A system and methodology that facilitates service continuity when a user equipment (UE), employing local breakout mechanisms at a femto access point (FAP) for a communication session, moves out of the femto coverage area is provided. In particular, a network change detection component can be employed to detect when the UE, attached to the FAP, changes its connection from the femto network to the macro network. Further, an active communication session can exist between the UE and a device/service/application on a local Area network (LAN) connected to a FAP, and/or the Internet, which utilizes local breakout at the FAP. When the UE moves out of the femto network, a context management component can be employed to seamlessly resume the communication session, via the macro network. | 05-27-2010 |
20100198946 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) PARAMETER CHANGE - A system and method for redirecting or duplicating a media flow to one or more alternative media presentation devices and providing updated quality of service parameters to the application server providing the media flow. The user of a mobile communication device can manually initiate the media flow change or the user can configure the media flow change to automatically transfer based on the proximity of the mobile communication device to the alternative media presentation device. If desired, the media flow can be reverted to the mobile communication device. A media flow can also be divided, such as by audio and video to different alternative media presentation devices. | 08-05-2010 |
20100235467 | CONSOLIDATED NETWORK REPOSITORY (CNR) - The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate support for or integration of disparate communications networks. The architecture can embody a consolidated network repository (CNR) that can be configured as a single logical repository that can potentially be configured according to a common schema regardless of the type or number of schema employed by the disparate communications networks. | 09-16-2010 |
20100235585 | DATA CACHING IN CONSOLIDATED NETWORK REPOSITORY - System(s) and method(s) are provided for caching data in a consolidated network repository of information available to mobile and non-mobile networks, and network management systems. Data can be cached in response to request(s) for a data element or request(s) for an update to a data element and in accordance with a cache retention protocol that establishes a versioning protocol and a set of timers that determine a period to elapse prior to removal of a version of the cached data element. Updates to a cached data element can be effected if an integrity assessment determines that recordation of an updated version of the data element preserves operational integrity of one or more network components or services. The assessment is based on integrity logic that establishes a set of rules that evaluate operational integrity of a requested update to a data element. Retention protocol and integrity logic are configurable. | 09-16-2010 |
20110055909 | METHODS, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR SUBSCRIBER AUTHENTICATION AND TEMPORARY CODE GENERATION - Method, apparatus, and computer products are provided for providing temporary generated codes by a server. Responsive to triplet authentication of a device to service provider network, a server receives an initial code from the device to request a temporary generated code. The server verifies the triplet authentication of device. The server determines whether there is a user account match to the initial code. The server determines a corresponding application server based on the initial code and the user account match. The server generates a temporary generated code to access the application server. The temporary generated code is transmitted to both the application server and the communication device, is set to expire at a preset time, is generated to allow the user access to a single session on the application server, and is generated to expire after the temporary generated code is input to access the single session on application server. | 03-03-2011 |
20110143782 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DYNAMICALLY PROVISION SUBSCRIBERS IN A NETWORK - Systems and methods to dynamically provision subscribers in a network are disclosed herein. A example method to provision a subscriber in a communication network includes detecting that a location of the subscriber has changed from a first location to a second location, instructing a first customer profile repository to transfer a customer profile associated with the subscriber to a second customer profile repository corresponding to the second location in response to detecting the location change, and provisioning the customer profile at the second customer profile repository. | 06-16-2011 |
20110144989 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUDIBLE TEXT CENTER SUBSYSTEM - Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for sending a spoken message as a text message. The method includes initiating a connection with a first subscriber, receiving from the first subscriber a spoken message and spoken information associated with at least one recipient address. The method further includes converting the spoken message to text via an audible text center subsystem (ATCS), and delivering the text to the recipient address. The method can also include verifying a subscription status of the first subscriber, or delivering the text to the recipient address based on retrieved preferences of the first subscriber. The preferences can be retrieved from a consolidated network repository or embedded within the spoken message. Text and the spoken message can be delivered to the same or different recipient addresses. The method can include updating recipient addresses based on a received oral command from the first subscriber. | 06-16-2011 |

20130029690 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DYNAMICALLY PROVISION SUBSCRIBERS IN A NETWORK - Systems and methods to dynamically provision subscribers in a network are disclosed herein. An example method to provision a subscriber in a communication network includes detecting that a location of a subscriber has changed from a first region to a second region, determining that the communication network would benefit from permanently provisioning a customer profile associated with the subscriber to the second region instead of keeping the customer profile provisioned in the first region, instructing a first customer profile repository to transfer the customer profile to a second customer profile repository corresponding to the second region in response to detecting the location change and that the communication network would benefit, and provisioning the customer profile at the second customer profile repository. | 01-31-2013 |

20150087307 | FACILITATING INTELLIGENT RADIO ACCESS CONTROL - Intelligent radio access control selecting a first cell device of a first cell layer or a second cell device of a second cell layer or selecting a radio access technology for communication by a mobile device are provided. A device receives information indicative of an access assignment for communication. The access assignment is generated based on a defined criterion, which is associated with a policy of determining a cell layer assignment prior to determining a radio access technology (RAT) assignment. In response to receiving the information, the device can update its configuration to transmit via a transmission parameter based on the information. The cell layer assignment can offload traffic from the first cell device to the second cell device while the RAT assignment can re-assign the device from a first RAT to a second RAT. Assignment can be based on network conditions or mobility state or applications of the device. | 03-26-2015 |
