Embodiments of the system, and method provide for network support for providing caller flexibility on 'name', 'number', and &#x201c;message&#x201d; for a calling terminal that is displayed on a called terminal. One embodiment of the method may have the steps of: entering a command to use at least one of an alternate caller name, an alternate caller number and an alternate caller message for a calling terminal, instead of a preassigned caller name and caller number for the calling terminal; looking up the at least one of an alternate caller name, an alternate caller number and an alternate caller message; and using the at least one of an alternate caller name, an alternate caller number and an alternate caller message in place of the preassigned caller name and caller number for the calling terminal.

The present invention provides a method for establishing a multi-user call in a communication system. The communication system receives a call request to establish a group call with a shared group of users. The communication system determines which of the plurality of individual users should be excluded from the call and connects each of the group of included users to establish a multi-user call. The communication system preferably indicates that a unit was not currently available, for example by playing a prerecorded message, playing a tone and also preferably indicates why a unit was not available.

A method and an apparatus for using fuzzy logic to determine when handovers are desirable and the extent to which the radio transmission power in a cellular telephone network should be adjusted. The mobile phone and the base transceiver station measure certain system parameters, including rate of handover, quality, distance, level, call duration, and power. These measurements are input to a fuzzifier. The fuzzifier applies standard fuzzy-set-theory membership functions to the measurements, and the fuzzifier outputs a set of fuzzy variables corresponding to the measurements. The fuzzifier outputs are input to an inference engine. The inference engine contains a set of rules that, when applied to the inference engine inputs, indicate: when a handover should be performed; when a handover should not be performed; and the amount by which, if any, the transmission power should be adjusted.
