| 20090177796 | Method and Device for Diversion of Messages on a Mobile Terminal - A method and a device divert messages of a terminal, in particular, a mobile terminal from a first network provider connected to an access network by a gateway node of a second network provider. Network access identifiers are provided in the exchanged messages, made up of a character string for identifying the terminal and a character string for addressing a server of the network provider. The network access identifier is reformatted in the method such that the messages are not firstly transmitted to the server of the first network provider but rather to the server of the second network provider. After analysis of the data contained in the messages, the messages are then forwarded to the server of the first network provider after reverse formatting of the network access identifier. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090201897 | CLASSIFICATION PROCESS INVOLVING MOBILE STATIONS - Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, a method may comprise receiving data from a home agent, wherein the data is directed to a mobile station that is coupled with a foreign network and the data includes an outer header having a foreign network address associated with the mobile station and an encapsulated header having a home network address associated with the mobile station; reading the encapsulated header to determine the home network address; and performing data classification using at least the home network address of the encapsulated header. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090249437 | ASSIGNMENT OF POLICY FUNCTION ADDRESS DURING ACCESS AUTHENTICATION IN WIMAX NETWORKS - A policy function used by a Service Flow Authorization of an Internal Protocol network is dynamically specified. A mobile station sends a request to a Network Access Servicer. Service Equipment forwards the request to a Service Provider's AAA Server. A connectively serving network sends an Access-Accept RADIUS message to an accessing serving network. The PF address is inserted into the Access-Accept RADIUS message. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100067503 | Method for the Transmission of Ethernet Transmission Protocol-Based Data Packets Between at Least One Mobile Communication Unit and a Communication System - In order to transmit Ethernet transmission protocol-based data packets between at least one mobile communication unit and a communication system via generic route encapsulation tunneling established between a home agent unit and a foreign agent unit, at least one GRE key provided for establishing generic route encapsulation tunneling is linked to the media access control address assigned to the mobile communication unit. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100106971 | METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING AN AUTHENTICATION CONNECTION - A method for protecting an authentication connection is described, comprising generating a first keying material by generating a first authentication connection, deriving from the generated first keying material a second keying material and utilizing the second keying material for protecting a second authentication connection. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100107235 | METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method for accessing a wireless communication network is described, comprising collocating a Proxy Agent apparatus with an Access apparatus and determining in a Mobile Gateway apparatus an address of the Access apparatus. The Proxy Agent apparatus comprises information about a Master apparatus, the Master apparatus being adapted for executing a master function. The method further comprises indicating a message, to be handled by the master function, as a master function message and sending the master function message to the address of the Access apparatus. Furthermore, the method comprises diverting in the Access apparatus the master function message to the Proxy Agent apparatus and forwarding the master function message to a Proxy Relay apparatus for relaying the master function message to the Master apparatus. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100202403 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR LOCATION UPDATE IN NETWORKS - A method, system and devices are provided for location update in an e.g. WiMAX based network. An authenticator function is informed on the location of a data path function after a handover has taken place. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100251330 | Optimized relaying of secure network entry of small base stations and access points - A method, apparatus, and computer program product, are provided to receive an authentication message initiated by a network access request to access a connectivity network. The authentication message may include a first communication protocol that is converted into at least one additional different protocol, and forwarded to an authentication function of a gateway of an access network prior to the authentication message being forwarded to the connectivity network. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100329129 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING SERVICE QUALITY IN A WIMAX COMMUNICATION NETWORK, AND METHOD FOR SELECTING AN ACCESS TRANSPORT RESOURCE CONTROL FUNCTION BY MEANS OF A GUIDELINE DECISION-MAKING FUNCTION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method provides service quality in a WiMAX communication network, and a method selects an access transport resource control function by a guideline decision-making function in a communication network. According to a method for providing service quality on an air interface of an access network in a WiMAX communication network by an application function, the application function aims to provide a user of the WiMAX communication network with a service quality-related application. The desired service quality is signaled by an authentication, authorization and accounting infrastructure of the WiMAX communication network. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110051689 | Method for Reserving the Network Address During a Vertical Handover - A method for allocating the same network address to a first network interface and to a second network interface of a host is described. The method includes connecting the host to a first network (RANI) via the first network interface and connecting the host to a second network (RAN | 03-03-2011 |
