20090017802 | Undelivered Call Indicator - Providing for detection of a missed mobile paging event, storing data associated with an initiating mobile device as a result of such event, and updating an undelivered call indicator (UDCI) for notification of at least an undelivered call count is described herein. Components can include a gateway routing component that can receive a communications request for a target mobile device, a data storage component that can store information related to an initiating mobile device where the target is deemed unavailable, and a UDCI component facilitating data aggregation related to the undelivered call count. The UDCI data can be selectively provided to independent of the stored information related to an initiating mobile device. The system can thus notify a user of the presence and count of stored information related to initiating mobile devices independent of the user's prior unavailability. | 01-15-2009 |
20090080336 | CHARACTERIZATION OF NETWORK PATH QUALITY FOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES - A service for facilitating a determination of path quality between a first endpoint node and a second endpoint node in a network of nodes is provided. Path quality information is aggregated from across network internet service providers (ISPs), giving authorized endpoints access to path quality information for specified path segments of a path to another endpoint. Path quality information includes one or more metrics that measure available bandwidth, loss rate and/or latency. | 03-26-2009 |
20090092124 | NETWORK ROUTING OF ENDPOINTS TO CONTENT BASED ON CONTENT SWARMS - Using location-independent names to identify content, a service for mapping endpoint requests to requested content. Content requested by an endpoint of the network is mapped to a dynamic “swarm” of server, peer, or other endpoints capable of supporting the content download. Content names are mapped to a dynamically generated content swarm, presenting a current set of hosts, which can provide the requested content. Optionally, varying degrees of explicit visibility into routing paths and the performance tradeoffs between those routing paths is supported. Based on a set of class of service parameters for a given request for content, a host can initiate route selection based on class of service parameters, predicated on routing metrics maintained by the network by cooperating endpoints and/or network routers. | 04-09-2009 |
20100062786 | Prioritized Display of Cell Broadcast Messages - Devices, systems, and methods for creating, procuring, and maintaining a priority scheme for cell broadcast messages. In an exemplary embodiment, the priority scheme includes a plurality of cell broadcast channels (CBCH) that are assigned logic groups, which in turn are assigned a priority level. Accordingly, cell broadcast (CB) messages with higher priority levels are displayed first on the receiving device. | 03-11-2010 |
20110124325 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAINTAINING USER SETTINGS FOR OVER-THE-AIR UPGRADES - A method and apparatus for performing a software upgrade are disclosed. The method determines a plurality of mobile endpoint devices affected by a wireless network access software upgrade, and schedules a deployment of the wireless network access software upgrade. The method transmits a notification to the plurality of mobile endpoint devices, wherein the notification is configured to cause each of the plurality of mobile endpoint devices to store user settings in a memory of each of the plurality of mobile endpoint devices. The method downloads the wireless network access software upgrade wirelessly to the plurality of mobile endpoint devices, wherein the wireless network access software upgrade is configured to cause each of the plurality of mobile endpoint devices to install the wireless network access software upgrade and to restore the user settings from the memory of each of the plurality of mobile endpoint devices. | 05-26-2011 |
20130029635 | USAGE BASED RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY SELECTION - Systems, methods, and apparatus that select a radio access technology based on a usage history are presented herein. A recording component can record, based on a first use of a wireless communication network, information identifying a radio access technology associated with the first use. A selection component can select, in response to receiving a request for a second use of the wireless communication network, the radio access technology for the second use based on the information. A transfer component can determine whether a request for a handover is based on a wireless service coverage. Further, the transfer component can determine whether a request for a reselection is based on the wireless service coverage. Moreover, the selection component can select another radio access technology for the second use in response to the request being based on the wireless service coverage. | 01-31-2013 |
20130084825 | Network Directed Cell Broadcasts For Emergency Alert System - Systems and methods for providing alerts to end users of networked enabled portable devices are provided so that the end users are made aware when broadcast emergency alerts are issued. The systems and methods provide a way for a portable device to receive information about an emergency alert broadcast of which the user should be aware, e.g., from the EAS, and to notify the user of the emergency alert. A flag provides an indication the EAS should be on and the systems and method override the settings made by a user to a portable device to enable EAS reception. The user may then be automatically taken to the emergency alert information by having the portable device automatically tune to the emergency broadcast information, or the user may optionally retrieve the emergency information by tuning to the emergency broadcast channel, or the user may otherwise be presented with a reference to the emergency data (e.g., a link to the information). | 04-04-2013 |

20140223495 | ON-DEMAND MOBILE WIRELESS BROADCAST VIDEO DELIVERY MECHANISM - A mobile broadcast service center and a mobile wireless network to deliver broadcast video to mobile wireless devices is described. When the mobile broadcast service center receives a request to deliver a broadcast video channel to a target mobile wireless device, it designates as target an intermediate node in the network that serves the target mobile wireless device. The mobile broadcast service center first determines if an existing channel bundle is routed to the target intermediate node. If this first determination is negative, the mobile broadcast service center routes a new channel bundle to the target intermediate node, including the requested broadcast video channel. If the first determination is positive, the mobile broadcast service center then determines if the requested broadcast video channel is in the existing channel bundle. If this second determination is negative, then it adds the requested broadcast video channel to the existing channel bundle. | 08-07-2014 |
