Filed:

Nov 29, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/564379

Inventors:

James A. Payne - Woodstock GA, US
Max G. Faulkner - Roswell GA, US
Charles M. Link - Atlanta GA, US

Assignee:

Cingular Wireless II, LLC - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

726 5, 705 4

Abstract:

The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate collecting data within a wireless communications network. A device can be connected to a wireless communications network. A retrieval component incorporated into the wireless communications network can automatically collect identification data associated with the device, the identification data specifies the type of device connected to the wireless communications network.

Abstract:

Notification of registration of a mobile device with femto coverage for firmware content management is provided. An attachment component that administers location of mobile devices or a femto access point (AP) conveys a notification to a network platform that manages firmware content updates when a mobile device for which firmware update is available hands off from wireless macro coverage onto femto coverage through the femto AP. The notification is triggered in response to firmware update notification received by the attachment component, or an update flag received by the femto AP. Upon reception of the notification, to exploit wireline bandwidth, the network platform delivers firmware content(s) update through backhaul link to the femto AP to which the mobile device is registered. Femto APs not provisioned to serve a mobile device can be incentivized to authorize the mobile device for coverage and thus facilitate firmware updates.

International Classification:

H04M 1/725
H04W 8/02
H04M 15/00

US Classification:

455406

Abstract:

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for a subscriber of services on a network to display a custom operator name or alpha tag on the subscriber mobile communications device. The custom alpha tag (or operator name) is selected or defined by the subscriber via an interface on a communications device, and a custom operator name request is submitted to a provisioning logic on the network. The provisioning logic communicates with business rule logic on the network, the business rule logic being configured to retrieve and/or update a first account associated with the subscriber with the custom operator name. A billing logic within a billing subsystem may be invoked to debit a second account associated with the subscriber. A programming logic on the network then updates one or more mobile devices with the custom alpha tag. The several logic units may be part of an Over-the-air (OTA) platform on the network.
