Assignee:

General Instrument Corporation - Horsham PA

International Classification:

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for allowing a personal computer to receive data from a computer network such as the Internet via a broadcast channel of a cable or satellite television network, while transmitting data upstream to the computer network via a telephone line. A packet processing relay agent (PPRA) forwards data at the data link layer between a one-way network adapter, such as a cable modem that receives Internet data via a cable network, and a two-way return path adapter, such as a telephone modem that communicates with Internet servers and other users via a telephone network. The system provides compatibility with TCP/IP routing/addressing conventions by forwarding upstream IP packets with a cable modem source address over the telephone modem. The PPRA can enhance functionality by incorporating higher layer functions at the data link layer.

International Classification:

H04B007/216

US Classification:

370320, 370342

Abstract:

An improved wireless communications system for efficiently delivering multicast transmissions within a CDMA wireless communications network. To minimize use of network resources, a multicast group Walsh code is dynamically assigned for transmissions to group members for the duration of the session. Reverse link multicast long code covers are assigned by a base station controller and transmitted to the mobile station on a forward channel as derived from the multicast IP address. A multicast reflection function is provided at the base station controller or the IP gateway to transmit multicast messages received from mobile stations to other group members in their coverage area. The assigned group Walsh codes and long codes are used to spread all multicast transmissions on the CDMA forward and reverse channels, respectively.

Abstract:

A communication system reduces set up time for an inter-technology handoff of a multi-mode mobile station (MS) from a source network associated with a first radio frequency (RF) technology to a target network associated with a second RF technology by pre-establishing, prior to a determination to handoff the MS, a registration state of the MS and an authentication of the MS in association with the target network and second RF technology. In order to pre-establish the registration state and authentication, the MS exchanges messaging of the second RF technology with the second network via the first network and first RF technology. To facilitate the exchange, the MS includes shims in a second protocol stack associated with the second technology, which shims intercept second protocol stack signaling and redirect the intercepted signaling to a first protocol stack of the MS, associated with the first technology, for tunneling to the source network.

Abstract:

An Internet protocol (IP) based location system that employs a global positioning system (GPS) component in connection with a position determining entity (PDE) component to determine location of target mobile station(s) via the Internet. As such the system provides an internet protocol based scheme (e.g., UDP) to initiate a location determination session within a CDMA network. The system can provide a location determining service even when the mobile station(s) are not within a home network (e.g., roaming situations). The system can also employ HTTP over TCP/IP so as to facilitate communications between the mobile station(s) and a mobile positioning center (MPC) (e.g., authentication and/or security protocols/schemes). Furthermore, the system can identify a PDE of a plurality of available PDEs that is most suitable for a given state of the mobile station and/or state of the user and/or particular location based application being employed by the mobile station.
