A communication system for operating a wireless communication network to manage machine-to-machine communications comprises a communication transceiver system and a communication processing system. The communication transceiver system is configured to wirelessly receive a data packet having a packet header, wherein the packet header includes a machine-to-machine communication indicator representing that a machine-to-machine communication in the packet payload is originated and consumed by machines and not human operators. The communication processing system is configured to determine at least one wireless network parameter indicating a state of the wireless communication network, and process the machine-to-machine communication indicator and the wireless network parameter to determine whether to transfer or drop the data packet. The communication transceiver system is configured to transfer the data packet if the communication processing system determines to transfer the data packet, and not transfer the data packet if the communication processing system determines not to transfer the data packet.

Machine-to-machine traffic indicator

A communication control system configures a wireless access node to broadcast a message stream comprising information associated with a location covered by a sector serving wireless communication devices, receives an interest indicator indicating a level of interest in the message stream by the wireless communication devices, receives a request to receive the message stream transmitted from an out-of-sector wireless communication device served by a different sector from the sector serving the wireless communication devices, wherein the request includes interest filter criteria, applies the interest filter criteria to activate a subscription to the message stream for the out-of-sector wireless communication device when the interest filter criteria is met based on the interest indicator, and in response to activating the subscription to the message stream, transfers a message comprising the information associated with the location covered by the sector serving the wireless communication devices for delivery to the out-of-sector wireless communication device.

Out-of sector message stream delivery

A method of optimizing data transmissions to a wireless device is provided. In particular, a client application may discover the data rate of the wireless connection, and provide that information to a media server. The media server may then provide content to the application over the wireless connection, where the level of media detail provided is best suited for transmission at the available data rate.

RF data channel API for mobile station client applications

A wireless handset may connect to a media server in order to receive streaming media content. The wireless handset may send the media server one or more indications of the wireless handset's presentation capabilities. In response, the media server may send the wireless handset a list of media content and transmission modes, and the list of media content and transmission modes may be tailored, at least in part, based on the presentation capabilities of the wireless handset. A user of the wireless handset may then select from the list of media content, and the media server may stream the media content to the wireless handset using the selected transmission mode.

Method and system for selecting transmission modes for streaming media content to a wireless handset access technology

A method and system provides for detecting completion of a call and responsively presenting a user of a client station with information about the call and a prompt requesting the user to categorize the call. In one embodiment, the client station can then receive from the user, in response to the prompt, a categorization of the call and can then automatically transmit from the client station to a network server, via a radio access network, a record of the call, including the categorization.

Method and system for automatically tracking phone cells

A method and system for playing a media sample representing a full media selection on a wireless handset and, in turn, requesting the full media selection to be sent to a client station other than the wireless handset. The method and system provides for a user of a wireless handset to receive one or more media samples from a media content provider, such as a media server. The user can then request one or more full media selections from the media server, and the media server can, in turn, e-mail to the user a hyperlink for each full media selection selected by the user. The user can then invoke the hyperlink to access a full media selection at a client station other than the wireless handset.
