The present invention is a method and system for station location based neighbor determination and handover probability estimation. A serving access point determines the location and movement measurements of a station (STA). Neighboring access points report coordinates of cell fringes of the neighboring access points. The STA sends a request for system information to the current access point along with current location of the STA. The current access point provides the system information, and the STA utilizes the system information to determine best handover candidate from among neighboring access points and an estimate of the time for handover.

Method and system for station location based neighbor determination and handover probability estimation

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are provided to implement a method for radio environment, measurement (REM) scheduling, information extraction, storage and processing to generate terrain and object mapping/identification using higher frequency radio signals, directional transmission techniques and external database information. Described are wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) comprising a processor configured to, when the WTRU is in an idle state, receive a common control channel from a millimeter wave base station (mB), decode a measurement schedule included in the common control channel, wherein the measurement schedule includes one or more slots during which sounding signals will be sent, and, determine a slot during which the WTRU is available to measure a sounding signal, and, when the WTRU is in a connected state, receive a dedicated control channel from a millimeter wave base station (mB), decode a measurement schedule and a receiver configuration included in the dedicated control channel, wherein the measurement schedule and the receiver configuration are specific to the WTRU, and wherein the measurement schedule includes one or more slots during which sounding signals will be sent, and determine a slot during which the WTRU is available to measure a sounding signal.

High frequency radio environmental mapping and system procedures

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may determine, from an input, pressure on a visual depiction of media on a touch display and a push across the touch display. Another WTRU may be detected with use of bluetooth. The media may be transferred to the another WTRU with use of WiFi.

Data transfer between wireless devices

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may detect another WTRU over bluetooth. The WTRU may send to the another WTRU a message to transfer selected media. The WTRU may transfer the selected media to the another WTRU over WiFi.

A network architecture uses an Application Server Autonomous Access (ASAA) server which allows paging and call routing across different types of wireless and wireline access networks. The ASAA server provides connectivity between an external voice or data network and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The external voice or data network may be a public switched telephone network (PSTN) or a public data network (PDN), so that the connectivity between the external network and the WTRU is provided through the access networks using data from the ASAA server.

System and method for call routing and paging across different types of networks

A method for transmitting an encrypted signal to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) such that decryption of the encrypted signal depends on a trust zone associated with the WTRU is disclosed. The encryption may be performed using hierarchical modulation, scrambling, authentication, location validation, or a combination thereof. The size of a trust zone may also be adjusted.

Method and system for securing wireless communications

Detecting, with Bluetooth, wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) in proximity to a WTRU is disclosed. The WTRU may send a message to transfer of a selected media to a selected WTRU. The WTRU may receive an acceptance to transfer the selected media to the selected WTRU. The selected media is transferred to the selected WTRU.

A method and apparatus for integrating a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) client in a wireless PC card are disclosed. A soft mobile phone client is combined with a cellular PC card to create a single physical device that is capable of providing VoIP services to a computer user through the cellular capabilities of the device itself, or alternatively, through any other Internet connectivity available to the computer. When a user inserts the VoIP client/Cellular PC Card into a computer, a graphical user interface (GUI) within the connection manager software is launched allowing the user to communicate VoIP function commands to the VoIP client. A check for Internet connectivity may be performed, at which time the Radio portion of the enhanced PC card may be put into an idle state if connectivity is detected, or may alternatively establish Internet connectivity through the cellular portion of the enhanced PC card.

A method of data transfer between wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) is described. The WTRUs may be within a given geographic area of each other or in communication with the same network. Location information relating to the WTRUs may be determined. The location information may be presented to a user of the WTRU. Data may be transferred from one WTRU to a target WTRU based on user input. The WTRU may determine the target WTRU based on user input and/or location information. The user input may be a gestural input. The gestural input may be received via a display or touchscreen. The user input may identify a given action or identify a particular file for transfer. The WTRU may receive data from the target WTRU.

A method and apparatus for improving handover in an IEEE 802.21 compliant communication network. A query is transmitted from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to a media independent handover (MIH) server (MIHS). The WTRU includes a target point of attachment (PoA) and/or a preferred mobile inter protocol (MIP) method. The WTRU receives a response from the MIHS indicating the MIP method supported by the target PoA. Based on the received response, the WTRU may make an informed decision regarding handover.
