| 20080242264 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR TERMINAL AUTHENTICATION USING A TERMINAL HARDWARE INDENTIFIER - A system includes an access network and an authentication server. The access network: requests and receives a hardware ID for a terminal attempting access to a network that provides access to a service; constructs a user ID that includes the hardware ID; forwards the user ID for use in a first authentication process for the terminal; and receives a response that indicates an authorization status for the terminal. The authentication server: receives the user ID; determines, from the user ID, the authorization status for the terminal, which identifies at least one of whether the terminal is authorized to use the service and whether the terminal is local or roaming; and provides the response to the access network, which indicates the authorization status. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080281978 | METHODS FOR UTILIZING MULTIPLE TUNNELS WITHIN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Various embodiments are described, some of which may be able to better support real-time services during mobility events in communication networks. In general in these embodiments, multiple tunnels are established via different network nodes within the communication network to support data transfer in both a forward direction to an access terminal (AT) and a reverse direction from the AT. Data transfer in the forward direction is supported for a period of time via a first tunnel ( | 11-13-2008 |
