A telecommunications network is a collection of nodes and links that is capable of carrying audio, visual, and data communications. While the term was once used to refer only to the collection of switches and wiring used by telephone service providers to provide audio connectivity to residential and business customers, it is now understood to include Internet, microwave, and wireless equipment as well as the more traditional forms of telephony.
Integrated interface for real time web based viewing of telecommunications network call traffic
InactiveUS6515968B1Quick managementInterconnection arrangementsError preventionTelecommunications linkGraphical user interface
A system and method for providing both telecommunications network statistical reporting functions and reporting on a call by call detail basis, over the public Internet. A "TRAFFICVIEW" Server (TVS) system and Real time monitoring system is integrated with a web / Internet based reporting system infrastructure and is responsive to instructions provided by subscribers over the internet so that reports may be provided on a given time period, at a given frequency and in a particular format. Standard traffic call detail reports are delivered to the subscriber via a browser based graphical user interface. The graphical user interface provides all reporting functions the subscriber is entitled to. A subscriber may obtain a static view of the traffic for a special service call number by communicating with the TVS. Moreover, a remote subscriber may be provided via a browser based workstation GUI with data files containing raw call details and statistics in a predetermined format. Alternately, a remote subscriber may communicate with a real time statistics (RTM) system over the public Internet enabling the subscriber to monitor the operation of the network, as it relates to calls directed to the subscribers special service call numbers, in real time.

Methods, systems, and arrangements facilitate information interexchange between a telecommunications network and an information service provider (InfSP). For example, a business-to-business (B2B) engine includes one or more logic modules for interfacing with the telecommunications network and with the InfSP. The B2B engine facilitates the reporting of, e.g., realtime information from the telecommunications network to the InfSP. This realtime information may include subscriber unit location and may be acquired and / or reported based on a mapping data structure in, e.g., the B2B engine. The data structure maps a service class to one or more parameters that dictate or provide guidance with respect to which parameters are relevant, as well as their respective values, and a mechanism for achieving the stipulated parameters. The mechanism may include specific network nodes / entities as well as frequency of acquisition to thereby enable location-tailored content data and / or services to be provided to a subscriber.

Distributed game over a wireless telecommunications network
A method and system for playing a distributed game over a wireless telecommunications network is disclosed. The game is initiated when a game server sends a task (e.g., a question) to a first group of mobile terminals. Each mobile terminal may either respond to the task (e.g., submit an answer) or forward the task to another mobile terminal. Once a mobile terminal forwards the task, that mobile terminal no longer retains the task. The game ends when a mobile terminal submits a correct task response, when a global time limit ends, or when all mobile terminals have submitted incorrect responses. Responses and forwards can be sent using any known data messaging technique.

InactiveUS6263211B1Assess restrictionRadio/inductive link selection arrangementsTelecommunications networkProcessor register
A system and method in a radio telecommunications network for automatically conveying a Wireless Office System (WOS) frequency set to a mobile station (MS) belonging to the WOS. The network includes a public cell, and a private WOS located within the public cell. A WOS controller sends the WOS frequency set from the WOS to an Equipment Identity Register (EIR) in the network whenever the WOS changes its frequency set. When the MS registers in the public cell in which the WOS is located, a mobile switching center (MSC) serving the public cell notifies an Intelligent Roaming Database (IRDB) of the registration. The IRDB fetches the WOS frequency set from the database, and obtains location information for the MS from a home location register (HLR). The IRDB then sends the WOS frequency set to the MS in an IS-136 R-DATA message.

Method of tuning handoff neighbor lists
ActiveUS7065361B1Radio/inductive link selection arrangementsRadio transmissionTelecommunications networkInformation provision
A wireless telecommunications network includes a mobile switching center (MSC) that controls a plurality of base stations. Each base station defines one or more wireless coverage areas, which may be termed “cells” or “sectors.” Associated with each of these wireless coverage areas is a “neighbor list” that lists a number of other wireless coverage areas to which handoffs are preferably made. The MSC has access to a database of handoff statistics and to a database of neighbor lists for the wireless coverage areas that it controls. The handoff statistics provide an indication of the frequencies at which handoffs have occurred between the various wireless coverage areas. To tune a neighbor list for a given wireless coverage area, the other wireless coverage areas are ranked based on the frequency of handoffs involving that wireless coverage area and the given wireless coverage area, as reflected in the handoff statistics. The wireless coverage areas with the highest handoff frequencies are added to the neighbor list for the given wireless coverage area. In preferred embodiments, the wireless coverage areas in a neighbor list may be further categorized into a first priority set, a second priority set, and a third priority set, based on their handoff frequencies.

A method and apparatus are disclosed that seek to improve the quality of service that is experienced during the transmission of a stream of packets across one or more paths. In particular, a transmitting node encodes a source stream of data (e.g., audio, video, etc.) into one or more sub-streams, and distributes those sub-streams onto multiple network transmission paths. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the transmitting node evaluates the quality of service of a first network path that fails to provide a quality-of-service guarantee. When the quality of service of the first network path becomes unsatisfactory, the coding of one or more sub-streams that are being transmitted on a second network path is adjusted. In other words, the coding on a second channel is adjusted in response to the changing conditions on a first channel.
