A system, method, and apparatus for transmitting a packet from a server to a wireless client, using direct digital calls, wherein the server initiates the call are presented. The server transmits a packet to addressed to an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the wireless client. The packet is received by a wireless application gateway which maintains a table correlating IP addresses with mobile services integrated services digital network (MSISDN) numbers or mobile identification numbers (MIN). The MSISDN/MIN number is then used to request routing information. In response to the request, a dynamic IP address and a traffic channel are allocated to the wireless client. The dynamic IP address is transmitted to the wireless application protocol gateway. Upon receiving the IP address, the wireless application protocol gateway transmits the digital data communication towards the IP address. The digital data communication is received by a serving mobile switching center which causes the digital data communication to be transmitted to the wireless client using the allocated traffic channel.

A method and apparatus is directed to provide a clip of content to a remote device, such as a mobile device. The invention enables an end-user to select content from a networked device, such as a personal computer. The selected content may include content from a webpage, graphic images, audio files, and the like. Selecting the content includes entry of an identifier such as a Mobile Identification Number (MIN), and a Mobile Station International ISDN Number (MSISDN). When the end-user employs the remote device to access the content, a server employs the identifier to determine if the remote device is authenticated and authorized to access the content. If it is, then the server provides the content to establish session continuity with the remote device. The content may then be transmitted to the remote device using any of a variety of messaging protocols.

A network with mobile devices supports registration of mobile devices, detection of changes to MSISDN-to-IMEI mapping information, and appropriate modification of such registrations. In one embodiment, the network maintains mapping between IMEI, MSISDN and a profile.

A multimedia messaging system for sending and receiving multimedia MMS messages. The MMS messages are sent to a MMS server and addressed to the recipient's MSISDN number. MMS server sends a notification to a PAP server that sends the notification as a WAP Push to the recipient mobile device telling the mobile device to retrieve the message. If the recipient mobile device is engaged in an on going or dedicated session with the Internet, the notification is sent to the recipient mobile device during the session. The recipient mobile device then initiates a HTTP GET request to retrieve the multimedia message via the voice or data channel of a PLMN. If the recipient mobile device is not engaged in an on going or dedicated session with the Internet, the notification is sent to the recipient mobile device as a WAP Push using SMS as bearer via the signaling channel of the PLMN. The recipient mobile device then initiates a HTTP GET request to retrieve the multimedia message via the voice or data channel of the PLMN.

The system includes a database (12) for storing client registration data and a unique number, which is preferably the MSISDN or mobile telephone number of the client. This number is used as the client's account number. A call center (14) receives calls from clients and verifies their identity from data transmitted by their mobile telephones. The system allows clients to conduct various banking transactions including balance, statement and payment transactions. A database stores details of balances and/or transactions in each user's account. The system serves for clients to be notified by an SMS transmitted to their mobile telephone of transactions, such as changes to their bank balances or the crediting or debiting of their account. The system can also interface with conventional banking services.

A system and method in a telecommunications system for enabling an originating mobile unit to deliver SMS messages to a select plurality of destination mobile units. A mobile station ISDN number (MSISDN) is assigned to a usergroup wherein this usergroup contains at least one and preferably a plurality of member MSISDNs. An originating mobile unit may then transmit an SMS message to a plurality of destination units by transmitting an SMS message addressed to a predefined usergroup MSISDN thereby eliminating the necessity of the originating mobile unit addressing and transmitting the SMS message to each member of the defined usergroup. Allowances are made to restrict such transmission to specified originating units.

A system, method, and computer product are provided for facilitating mobile communication corresponding to Multiple MSISDNs associated with Multiple IMSIs of a subscriber. The system includes a Signaling Gateway (SG) coupled to a first network. The SG receives one or more association messages from a subscriber for associating a first IMSI, corresponding to the first network, with one or more other IMSIs, corresponding to one or more VPMN networks. The first and other IMSIs are associated with the subscriber using at least one SIM. The SG associates MSISDNs corresponding to the associated IMSIs. Further, the SG facilitates mobile communication corresponding to any associated IMSI and the corresponding associated MSISDN, irrespective of the IMSI being activated in the SIM.

The location of a mobile subscriber roaming outside a home network may be used to authorize a transaction initiated by the mobile subscriber or to authenticate the mobile subscriber when signing into secure accounts. The location of the mobile subscriber is determined by providing a unique mobile subscriber identifier, such as the MSISDN, to an application that communicates with the home network and the roaming network. By communicating with the roaming network, the application can determine the current location of the roaming mobile subscriber terminal with location resolution down to the specific cell in which the mobile subscriber terminal is located. The location of the mobile subscriber terminal may be saved locally in a database associated with an authorization entity, thereby advantageously reducing the number of location look-ups requested by the authorization entity.

A system and method for managing subscriber mobile devices comprising:

• • a home network (400) of a first mobile network operator (MNO1), in which data associated with at least one physical SIM of a subscriber device with an embedded SIM card (eUICC) is obtained, and
  • a destination network (300) of a second mobile network operator (MNO2) which the device travels to, obtaining static data and dynamic data associated with at least one virtual SIM (503, 603) of the device.

The dynamic data comprise a subscriber authentication key (Ki) and is obtained from a SIM provider platform (500, 600) on which the destination network (300) relies. The static data comprise IMSI/MSISDN identities and is stored in a pool (202) of the destination network (300).

For a given virtual SIM, it is checked whether there is an association in a mapping table (106) of the first mobile network operator (MNO1) between the static data from the pool (202) and the physical SIM data from the home network (400).

A method and system for creating a virtual roaming solution for a MSISDN using a softphone over an IP network. The system involves (i) implementation of a novel virtual mobile network (VMN) comprising virtual visitor location register (vVLR), virtual home location register (vHLR) and virtual multiple switching centre (vMSC) on an IP server responsible for managing IP call traffic administration, and (ii) implementation of a novel mobile to internet gateway (MIG) comprising an VoIP gateway for diverting call traffic from the mobile network to the IP network, and an IP server with vMSC functionality to translate routing information from the VMN to GSM network so as to appear to the GSM network as a traditional mobile operator. The system dynamically registers the subscriber to the IP network, and provides valid routing information to the MSC (Mobile Switching Centre) or public telephone switch to route the call over to the NGN (next generation network) operator in the IP space.

With the object of making it possible to generate international multimedia message calls, an MMSC 11 determines from the destination MSISDN of the header of a multimedia message that the call is an international transmission and, at the same time, determines whether or not the forwarding destination supports number portability, by referencing the MSISDN routing table 13. If number portability is supported, it acquires the IMSI corresponding to the destination MSISDN by inquiring the HLR 15. Next, the MMSC 11 acquires the domain name of the MMSE of the forwarding destination by referencing the IMSI routing table 16 from the IMSI that has thus been acquired and forwards the multimedia message to this MMSE. If number portability is not supported, it forwards the multimedia message to the MMSE of the domain name acquired by referencing the MSISDN routing table 13.

The present invention provides a mobile network for handling multiple subscribers having the same calling line identity. Each multiple subscriber has an individual mobile subscriber number and a common mobile subscriber number that can be used to replace the individual mobile subscriber number. One mobile subscriber has an identical individual and common mobile subscriber number, and the mobile network receives a mobile subscriber number from a multiple subscriber. The mobile network has a terminal management server that determines whether the mobile subscriber number is either the individual mobile subscriber number or the common mobile subscriber number. Each individual mobile subscriber number and common mobile subscriber number is a Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network (MSISDN) number. The mobile subscriber number is used during a location update procedure.

The invention discloses a realization method and system of an NFC (near field communication) electronic lock and an NFC electronic lock card reader. The method comprises the following steps: the NFC electronic lock card reader is periodically switched between a card simulation mode and a P2P (peer-to-peer) mode; in the card simulation mode, the NFC electronic lock card reader obtains the electronic key ID of a non-contact induction card or the electronic key ID of an NFC mobile terminal simulating a radio frequency card, wherein the electronic key ID includes the card ID; in the P2P mode, the NFC electronic lock card reader obtains the electronic key ID of the NFC mobile terminal, wherein the electronic key ID of the NFC mobile terminal includes MSISDN; the NFC electronic lock card reader transmits the electronic key ID to an electronic lock controller which authenticates the electronic key ID; and if the electronic key ID passes the authentication, the lock is opened; otherwise, the lock is shut. The electronic lock is opened by the NFC mobile terminal.

The invention relates to a method and system for authenticating a user of a data transfer device (such as a terminal in a wireless local area network, i.e. WLAN). The method comprises: setting up a data transfer connection from the data transfer device to a service access point. Next, identification data of the mobile subscriber (for example an MSISDN) are inputted to the service access point. This is followed by checking from the mobile communications system whether the mobile subscriber identification data contains an access right to the service access point. If a valid access right exists, a password is generated, then transmitted to a subscriber terminal (for example a GSM mobile phone) corresponding to the mobile subscriber identification data, and login from the data transfer device to the service access point takes place with the password transmitted to the subscriber terminal.

A method and system for improving overall system capacity in GSM networks by reducing the number of home location register and visitor location register queries is disclosed. The method and system allows the reuse of the MSRN by allocating the MSRN to a mobile terminal and using it for future calls. The method of the present invention allows the GMSC to cache the MSRN for a called mobile terminal. During a first call setup, an entry is recorded at a cache register that maps the Mobile Subscriber ISDN Number (MSISDN) of the mobile terminal to a previously allocated MSRN. Additionally, the Bearer Capability (BC) associated with this MSRN is also recorded in the cache register. When the next call arrives, the GMSC first checks if a MSRN for that called mobile terminal already exists in its cache register. If a cached MSRN is available and the BC associated with the cached MSRN matches the BC requested by the current call, then the GMSC uses the cached MSRN to route the call to the VMSC. The method and system of the present invention makes it unnecessary to query the HLR and VLR when a land-to-mobile call arrives thereby increasing network capacity while reducing processing load.

The basic idea is to enhance functionality of the Signaling Relay Function for support of MNP (MNP-SRF) so that the normal HLR query in the circuit switched domain is bypassed and the call is routed to an IMS domain. The SLRF, upon receipt from a GMSC a SRI message containing the real MSISDN number of the called party, translates the MSISDN number to a new MSISDN number and responds to the query by sending a message containing routing information to the IMS domain and the new MSISDN number. Alternatively, the original MSISDN number is used in the response message but a certain identifier is then added into the message. Then the called subscriber is first tried to reach in the IMS domain where the subscriber is likely residing. In case the subscriber yet resides in the circuit switched domain the call is routed from the IMS domain back to the circuit switched domain and not until then the normal HRL query is performed.

An apparatus and method of controlling unsolicited traffic are disclosed herein. The apparatus and method can be applied to wireless communication networks such as CDMA2000, UMTS, GPRS and the like so that traffic which is not solicited by wireless communication devices operating on those networks is not sent over the air needlessly. The present application provides techniques to block unsolicited traffic based on the identity of a user (for example based on International Mobile Station Identity (IMSI), Network Access Identifier (NAI), Mobile Station Internet Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Universal Resource Locator (url)) as opposed to techniques that are based on a session or IP address, such as a traditional firewall. In accordance to this application, user identity based techniques are applied to block unsolicited traffic whenever a user has established a data session. Further in accordance with this application, user identity based techniques are persisted across changes in IP address and/or session.

A mobile device identifier (such as an MSISDN) that typically accompanies a mobile device request is replaced with an “enriched” identifier that exposes the mobile device user's home operator but obfuscates the mobile device's (and, thus, the device user's) identity. In one embodiment, the identifier comprises a first part, and a second part. The first part comprises a data string that identifies (either directly or through a database lookup) the mobile device user's home operator. The second part, however, is an opaque data string, such as a one-time-use unique identifier (UID) or a value that is otherwise derived as a function of the MSISDN (or the like). The opaque data string encodes the mobile device's identity in a manner that preferably can be recovered only by the user's home operator. The present invention describes a method and apparatus for use in a home network to manage the generation, storage and use of the unique identifiers.

A system and method for associating an MSISDN of a mobile terminal with a temporarily assigned IP address is disclosed. A first server located within a wireless communications network generates and transmits a start packet to a service network responsive to an access request by a mobile terminal. The start packet includes the MSISDN of the mobile terminal and an assigned IP address. A second server within the service network extracts the MSISDN in the IP address from the received start packet and stores this information together within a database. When a service request is made by the mobile terminal to a server in the service network, the MSISDN may be determined from the database and used to access user parameters in a user database.

The invention provides a method and a system for implementing the flow sharing of multiple mobile terminal cards. The method concretely comprises the following steps: an additional data card platform is established; E. 214 route data are configured for an HSTP (high signaling transfer point), and a special IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) number segment route for an additional data card is directed to the additional data card platform; the additional data card platform participates in the PS (packet switched) domain attachment process of the additional data card, so that the additional card generates Internet call tickets taking a main card MSISDN (mobile subscriber ISDN (integrated services digital network) number) and an additional card IMSI as identifiers in an SGSN (serving GPRS support node) and a GGSN (gateway GPRS (general packet radio service) support node); and after acquiring a billing center, the call tickets are combined through taking MSISDN as an identifier, so that the Internet call ticket of the additional card is merged into an account of the main card. According to the invention, through providing the additional data card platform, the flow sharing of multiple mobile terminal cards is implemented through the signaling exchange between the additional data card platform and a core network, no improvement on the core network, a BSS (base station subsystem) and a CRM system is required, the service processes of the existing BSS, SGSN (service GPRS supporting node) and CRM and the like are not affected, and no influence is caused on an operator network, thereby realizing the inter-flow sharing of 3G main number packages.
