11/377902

Inventors:

Daniel G. Collins - Plano TX, US
Amit Gupta - Livermore CA, US
Jahangir Mohammed - Santa Clara CA, US

Assignee:

Jasper Wireless, Inc - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

H04W 68/00

US Classification:

455458, 455574

Abstract:

Improved paging for wireless networks is disclosed. A wireless terminal clock is synchronized to a server clock. A paging window and a dormant window are set for communicating between the server and the wireless terminal using the synchronized time. The paging window and the dormant window are set using a set of instructions. During the paging window, a control channel for a cellular network is found by the wireless terminal, and a page is received from the server at the wireless terminal.

Assignee:

Jasper Wireless, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

H04W 8/22

US Classification:

455419

Abstract:

A system including a server coupled to a wireless network, the server comprising a wireless interface adapted to transmit and receive wireless signals, one or more processors coupled to the wireless interface, the one or more processors adapted to: detect a registration request sent from a wireless device to a home location register (HLR) over which the server has authority to control, the request indicating an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) associated with a subscriber identity module (SIM) card in the wireless device, send a reply to the wireless device in response to a determination that the IMSI is associated with a subscriber account that has not been activated, wherein the reply includes a web link to be displayed on the wireless device, receive a message from the wireless device when the web link displayed on the wireless device is subscriber activated, the message identifying characteristics of the wireless device, send a sequence of webpages to the wireless device, the webpages providing a customized activation process for establishing the subscriber account based on identified characteristics of the wireless device, and receive information related to the subscriber account from the wireless device in response to the webpages to thereby establish and activate the subscriber account.

Assignee:

Ericsson Inc. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

455434

Abstract:

Method for selecting a preferred system for wireless communications with a mobile terminal or subscriber. To select a preferred system for wireless communications with a mobile terminal or subscriber using a mobile terminal, a range of operating frequencies are scanned to detect wireless systems. Each time a wireless system is detected, a determination is made as to whether the detected wireless system is a most preferred system or a lesser preferred system for the mobile terminal or subscriber. If the detected wireless system is determined to be the most preferred system, scanning is terminated and the detected wireless system is selected for wireless. If, however, the detected wireless system is determined to be one of the lesser preferred systems, selection information for the detected wireless system is stored in a memory subsystem of the mobile terminal and scanning continues. Upon completion of the scanning, if no wireless system has been selected as the most preferred system, a highest ranking lesser preferred system is selected using the selection information stored in the memory subsystem for wireless communications.
