Filed:

Sep 17, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/212140

Inventors:

ANATOLY AGULNIK - DEERFIELD IL, US
MICHELLE ANTONELLI - BARRINGTON IL, US
ROBERT A. FREDERICKS - CAROL STREAM IL, US

Assignee:

MOTOROLA, INC. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726 1

Abstract:

A method of providing a mixed group communication session for a mixed group containing protected users and a guest user is provided. The method uses a secure server to assign temporary Identities (IDs) to the protected users. The secure server forms a mixed group session containing desired participants from among the protected users and the guest user. The secure server provides limited group rights to the guest user in the mixed group session. During the mixed group session, the secure server uses the permanent IDs of the protected users towards other protected users and temporary IDs of the permanent users towards the guest user. Also provided is a method for providing a mixed group communication session for a mixed group containing protected users and a guest user, wherein temporary IDs are assigned to protected users and the guest user.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370235

Abstract:

A system includes: a packet processing function and a packet modification function. The packet processing function receives a packet generated by a sending application function and destined for a receiving application function. The packet includes first identifier information, and the packet processing function adds second identifier information thereto. The packet modification function: receives the packet; alters it in a way that prevents use of the first identifier information by a 3GPP conforming service data flow detection process to map the packet to a first service data flow for the sending application function; and provides the packet to a packet routing function with the second identifier information positioned in the packet to enable the packet routing function to use the second identifier information in the 3GPP conforming service data flow detection process to map the packet to the first service data flow and to a bearer for transporting the packet.

Assignee:

MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating a flow of packets with a requested quality of service. An exemplary method involves receiving a first packet of a flow, determining a first reference value for the packet flow identification field of the first packet using a key value, and facilitating the requested quality of service for the first packet when the received value of the packet flow identification field of the first packet matches the first reference value. The method continues by receiving a second packet of the flow, determining a second reference value for the packet flow identification field using the key value, and facilitating the requested quality of service for the second packet when the received value of the packet flow identification field of the second packet matches the second reference value.
