International Classification:

H04Q 700

US Classification:

455510, 455452, 455445, 370230

Abstract:

A method and system for optimal radio channel management in a distributed connection and transport network. The method includes the steps of determining the quality of service required by a communication session, determining whether transport resources are available for immediate use by the communication session, and queuing the communication session for assignment to transport resources in accordance with the quality of service required and the availability of transport resources for immediate use. The system includes a set of assignable transport resources, an interface for requesting a communication session, a detection processor in communication with the interface for determining the quality of service required by the session, a resource processor in communication with the detection processor determining whether transport resources are available for immediate use by the session, and a queuing processor in communication with the resource processor holding the communication session for prioritized allocation to the transport resources.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

4554353, 4554352

Abstract:

A method for selecting an alternate wireless communication system for a wireless communication device is disclosed. The method comprises using a first radio access technology (RAT) by a wireless communication device when scanning () for an initial wireless communication network (). The wireless communication device further registers () to the initial wireless communication network (). Then, the initial wireless communication network () determines () alternate RAT wireless communication network information for the wireless communication device and sends () the alternate RAT wireless communication network information to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device receives the alternate RAT wireless communication network information and selects () a first alternate wireless communication network from within the alternate RAT wireless communication network information, scans for the first alternate wireless communication network using an alternate RAT and registers with the first alternate wireless communication network using the alternate RAT.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for simultaneously presenting at least two received multimedia content to a user is disclosed. At least one receiving device receives more or more multimedia content from at least one sending device. The at least one receiving device determines characteristics of each received multimedia content and operating condition on the at least one receiving device. The characteristics and the operating condition are used to retrieve a policy for presenting the received multimedia content to a user. When executed, the policy identifies whether two or more received multimedia content are to be simultaneously presented to the user.
