| 20080310300 | Traffic Activity-Based Forwarding Table Updates For Ethernet-Based Mobile Access Networks - A system and method for granting an association request from a mobile terminal, determining, during a predetermined time interval after granting the association request, if the mobile terminal has received traffic from a network and sent traffic to the network and sending a broadcast update packet to the network if it is determined that the mobile terminal has not both received traffic from and sent traffic to the network within the predetermined time interval. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20100159987 | UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS BASED SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE - A USB based USIM or SIM device is disclosed. For example, the device comprises a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) module, a SIM to Universal Serial Bus (USB) conversion module coupled to said SIM module, and a USB interface module coupled to said SIM to USB conversion module for engaging a computing device. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110105154 | GENERIC PAGING SERVICE FOR THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS - System(s), method(s), and device(s) that provide generic paging service for applications, including third-party applications, over a wireless network are presented. A mobile device generates a token that is used to prove an existing relationship with, and is provided to, an application server, which can relate to a third-party application. The server includes a paging initiator component that presents the token to a paging coordinator component in the network to facilitate proving the server's relationship with, and triggering paging of, the mobile device, without the server having to establish a prior relationship with the network. The paging coordinator component can verify the token to ensure that the initiated paging event is a legitimate paging, and, when verified, transmits the paging to the mobile device. In response, the mobile device can switch out of power-saving dormant mode and establish an IP connection to the server to retrieve a notification(s). | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110119485 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING RADIO COMMUNICATION WITH AN OBJECT IN A LOCAL ENVIRONMENT - A method and apparatus for providing radio communication with an electronic object in a local environment are disclosed. For example the method receives via a mobile endpoint device of a user at least one first digital certificate associated with the local environment from a trusted source, and a second digital certificate from the electronic device deployed in the local environment via a wireless connection. The method then authenticates the electronic device using the at least one first digital certificate and the second digital certificate. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110129022 | Systems and Methods for Providing Geolocation Using Wireless Signals - A system for determining a location of a receiver is disclosed. The system includes at least one transmitter transmitting one or more radio signals, respectively. The system also includes a receiver comprising a clock, a memory, and a processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions stored in the memory. The instructions makes the receiver operable to receive the radio signals, capture the radio signals as one or more received signal waveform, respectively, and store the received signal waveforms in the memory. The instructions also make the receiver operable to calculate one or more virtual transmitted waveforms based upon the received signal waveforms, respectively and determine, based upon the received signal waveforms and the virtual transmitted waveforms, a position of the receiver relative to the transmitters. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110138430 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UTILIZING A BROADCASTING CHANNEL - A method and computer readable medium for encoding data onto a channel broadcasting a program are disclosed. For example, the method selects a channel that is being used to broadcast a program, generates data having characteristics in accordance with an error burst signature and transmits the data on the channel that is being used to broadcast the program. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110143776 | Location and Time Specific Mobile Participation Platform - A mobile participation platform enables a wireless network operator or third party to solicit response data related to a specific time and location specific event by signaling multiple mobile device users that meet predefined qualifications. The qualifications include presence at the specific location at the specific time, and may include other characteristics, such as prior consent to receive solicitations, and particular device type or data collection functionality. The platform locates mobile devices that may qualify for participation, and generates and transmits a solicitation. Mobile devices receiving the solicitation may activate a participation client to acknowledge the solicitation and to contribute by submitting the requested response data, which may include photos, text, sensor data, audio, video and the like. The qualifications are verified, the response data is validated, and anonymity and privacy are maintained by associating the mobile device and other pertinent non-identifying information with an encrypted identifier. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110143777 | Network-Assisted Optimization of Continual Location Determination - A mobile device that can use both data from a GPS or other GNSS receiver and signals from a wireless network to provide location based services based on the location of the mobile device is controlled at least partly by a locationing resource control module in the wireless network. The module provides network-assisted optimization of utilization of the GPS receiver and other resources by activating the GPS receiver and associated components when fine resolution location data is needed for provision of the location based services, and deactivating the GPS components when coarse resolution will suffice. The selective control of the GPS components is performed in the wireless network in response to receipt from the mobile device of location requisition data, conditions specifying what actions are to be performed by the mobile device, and current location data from the wireless network. The wireless network may also specify and prioritize at least some conditions. | 06-16-2011 |
