A method and system for providing services to a communication session anchored to a micro wireless network includes providing at a router of the micro wireless network an interface for communication with a service node of a macro wireless network that is coupled to the micro wireless network. The interface is of a same type as used by a radio access network of the macro wireless network to communicate with the service node. Information associated with the session is communicated between the interface and the service node in a format used by the service node to communicate with the radio access network of the macro wireless network. The macro network provides portability services to the session of the micro wireless network through the interface.

Method and system for service portability across disjoint wireless networks

A system and method for communication service portability include the ability to receive, at an access point, a registration request for a user of an endpoint and to generate, based on the received registration request, a registration request for a wireless network authorization module, the generated registration request containing information from a user information module. The system and method also include the ability to receive a response to the generated registration request, to determine whether the generated registration request has been accepted, and to generate a response to the received registration request based on the status of the received response.

A method and system for providing voice calls in a macro wireless network includes providing at a router of the micro wireless network an interface for communication with a service node of a macro wireless network coupled to the micro wireless network. The interface is of a same type as is used by a radio access network of the macro wireless network to communicate with the service node. A real-time protocol communication path is established from the interface through a voice module of the service node to a public switch telephone network. Voice traffic is communicated to the public switch telephone network through the interface and the real-time protocol path.

A method for label edge routing in a wireless network is provided. The method includes providing a flow between an application of a mobile unit and a serving node. The flow includes an outbound flow from the application. The outbound flow is received at the mobile unit. The flow is classified at the mobile unit.

A method and system for managing wireless bandwidth resources include the capability to receive at a serving node a service request for a mobile unit and to communicate with a wireless network node to determine whether sufficient wireless bandwidth is available for the requested service. The method and system also include the capability to process the service request based on the availability of wireless bandwidth.

Method and system for managing wireless bandwidth resources

A method and system for managing pushed data at a mobile unit include the capability to receive an out-of-band message at a mobile unit and analyze the message to determine if it contains pushed data. The method and system also include the capability to determine, if the message contains pushed data, whether the data is appropriate for a session currently being hosted by the mobile unit. The method and system further include the capability to post the data to the session if the data is appropriate for the session.

Method and system for managing pushed data at a mobile unit

A method and system for providing services for wireless data calls includes monitoring a wireless data call for a predefined event associated with a service for the wireless data call. The service is initiated for the wireless data call in response to detecting the predefined event for the data call. The predefined event may comprise a uniform resource locator (URL) match or change, excess use of transmission or time resources, a location change of a mobile device for the wireless data call, a network event, or a combination of any or all suitable events.

Method and system for providing services for wireless data calls

A method for providing service trigger management in a wireless network is provided. The method includes generating at an application of a mobile unit a current request for a network session. Allowability of the session is determined based on a service agreement without accessing external resources.

Method and system for providing service trigger management in a wireless network

A method and system for indicating quality of a radio frame transmitted over a wireless link includes receiving a radio frame from the wireless link. A power indicator for the radio frame is determined based on a power control trend of the wireless link. A quality indicator for the radio frame is generated based on the power indicator.

Quality indicator and method for frame selection in wireless network

A fixed wireless access system includes circuitry for routing a call for a subscriber having a directory number not only through the primary cell, but also through any secondary cell for a border cell subscriber. In each case, the primary and secondary cells borders a geographically located near the geographic location of the border cell subscriber. For calls that are being routed to the border cell subscriber, one of a plurality of subscriber features including call forward no-answer, call forward unconditional or multiple access directory numbers may be used to cause the switch to trigger one or more fixed wireless access controllers to generate page request signals to the base stations for the border cell subscriber. For calls originated by the border cell subscriber, the subscriber's directory number is placed within the subscriber list for each base station whose cell borders are located geographically near the border cell subscribers geographic location. Accordingly, if the border cell subscriber unit locks onto a base station of a secondary border cell, the controller recognizes the subscriber unit and may process the call.
