| 20100235477 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING SERVER INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - In a communications system where a mobile node seeks to establish contact with a server node within or outside the home network of the mobile node by first providing the general location information and the server type of the server node to a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. The DHCP server then matches the provided information with its record in storage to arrive at an IP (Internet Protocol) address of the sought server node. The DHCP server then sends the IP address to the mobile node, thereby allowing the mobile node to directly access the server node. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100309843 | Apparatus and Method for Providing Mobility to IMS Sessions in Mobile IP Networks - An apparatus and method for providing mobility to IMS sessions comprising connecting to an APN through a 3GPP access; determining if a non-3GPP access is available; determining if the APN is specific to an IMS application being used or desired to be used, or if an IP header of an IMS application flow matches a configured pattern; and performing one of: a) triggering an IMS Session Continuity flow through the non-3GPP access for the IMS application based on one of the following: if the APN is specific to the IMS application or if the IP header of the IMS application flow matches the configured pattern; or b) triggering an IP mobility flow through the non-3GPP access for the IMS application or a non-IMS application if the APN is not specific to the IMS application and if the IP header of the IMS application flow does not match the configured pattern. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110075563 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING RATE ADAPTATION ACROSS NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS - Systems and methods for implementing explicit congestion notification (ECN) across disparate networks, configurations, and protocols are disclosed. Local rate adaptation using ECN may be provided without relying on other operators to upgrade or ensure their networks are ECN transparent or ECN capable. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110170411 | Turning on Flows in Network Initiated QoS - Methods and apparatus for network pre-configuration of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters in a communication channel triggered by establishment of packet data access by an access terminal with the network. The network-determined and network-initiated pre-establishment of the QoS parameters are for one or more reservation links, which each relate to a corresponding one or more applications resident on the access terminal. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110202647 | Method and Apparatus for Handling Policy and Charging Control Rule or Quality of Service Rule Modification Failures - Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate handling failures in policy rule installation and/or related bearer modification procedures. A set of modified policy rules can be provided to a gateway for enforcement thereof and/or correlation with a bearer of a device. The gateway can attempt to install the modified rules and can utilize a credit control request (CCR)/credit control answer (CCA) exchange to notify of a status of the modified rule installation and/or related bearer modification. A policy charging and rules function (PCRF) can, thus, determine the status based on the CCR/CCA exchange. If the status indicates failure, the PCRF can revert to previous policy rules. In addition, an application function can be notified of the status. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110231560 | User Equipment (UE) Session Notification in a Collaborative Communication Session - A communication system facilitates notification of a controller User Equipment (UE) about the changes of session description in a collaborative session by subscribing to a Session Continuity Controller (SCC) Application Server (AS). First, controller UE subscribes to its dialog event package with the SCC AS. Second, SCC AS maintains several dialogs with controller UE, controllee UE(s) and remote UEs within the collaborative session. Third, when there is an updates in the session description of UEs in the collaborative session, SCC AS notifies the controller UE about the change in a SIP NOTIFY request that is constructed by having an XML body with a session description element containing the Session Description Protocol (SDP) of all of the controllee UEs and remote UEs, including media lines and related information such as as the IP addresses of the UEs. | 09-22-2011 |
