A communication system in which a user device (,) generates authentication information (,) unique to the user device and provides a data packet (,) including this authentication information to an infrastructure part which is a gateway (,) or a host (,). The packet also contains a host identifier (,) or time dependent information (,). This is used at the gateway (,) or the host (,) to authenticate the packet.

Authentication in a packet data system

A method of operation of a data communications system (5) with session control having a data communications network (10) and at least a first communications device (1), a second communications device (2) and a third commnunications device (3) in communications with the data communications network (10). The data communications network (10) identifies a fault status change in communications with the first communications device (1), generates a session control command (6) with an identification number (7) attached responsive to identifying the fault status change and sending the session control command (6) to at least the second and the third communications devices (2 and 3). At least at the second communications device (2), the second communications device (2) receives the session control command (6), deter-mines from the identification number (7) whether the second communications device (2) is affected by the fault status change and selectively performs a session control action in response thereto.

Data communications system with session control

In a data communications system including an infrastructure 100 and a subscriber terminal 115 a method of acquiring an operating channel at the subscriber unit on power up including: turning on the subscriber unit 203; selecting from a data base a most frequently used channel that corresponds to a last operating channel 209; and attempting to acquire service 213 on the most frequently used channel. Alternatively, in a similar setting at a subscriber terminal a method of acquiring a next operating channel including: exiting an operating channel 317; updating 319 a channel occupancy data base 301 with occupancy information corresponding to the operating channel; selecting, from the channel occupancy data base 309, a next operating channel that corresponds to information from past operating channels; and attempting to acquire service 313 on the next operating channel.

Method of adaptive channel acquisition at a subscriber unit

A subscriber terminal (104) suitable for operation in a wireless communications system (100) arranged and constructed to provide data communications between the infrastructure (111) and the subscriber terminal, includes a portable computing device (105) operating in a operating state and a radio frequency receiver (201) operatively coupled to the portable computing device, the radio frequency receiver arranged to detect a radio frequency interference corresponding to an operating environment, and to execute a corrective action that corresponds to the radio frequency interference. A corresponding method of avoiding desensitization of the radio frequency receiver includes detecting, at the RF receiver, a radio frequency interference that corresponds to an operating environment to provide an interference indication; determining, responsive to the interference indication, a corrective action for the RF receiver; and executing the corrective action for the RF receiver.

Method and apparatus for avoiding desensitization of a radio frequency

A method of modem power conservation used in a data communications system having an infrastructure (101), and a modem (103), the modem registered with the infrastructure and adapted to provide data communications between a host terminal (105) and the infrastructure (101), the method including the steps of: receiving, at the modem (103), a message: determining that the message is not deliverable to the host terminal (105): and responsive thereto entering, at the modem (103), a power conservation mode. An alternative method directed to the same purposes includes the steps of: entering, at the modem (103), a power conservation mode after a first predetermined time has lapsed without message activity: exiting the power conservation mode after a second predetermined time has lapsed: and finally registering with the infrastructure (101).
