There is provided a communication device () for providing access to a service via an access point () in a cellular communication system (). The communication device () includes an application () for accessing the service via said point (). The communication device () receives from the application () a service identifier for the service and obtains an identifier of an access point () via which said service can be accessed by mapping the service identifier to the identifier of an access point ().

Communication system

A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is powered by the mobile device and a maximum power supply value is defined by the mobile device to control the power drawn by the smart card. Provision is made for the smart card or the mobile device to renegotiate the maximum power supply level for the smart card without having to reset the mobile device. This provides the mobile device with dynamic control of the power drawn by the smart card, which can help the mobile device to optimize the power saving management.

Smart card and mobile device using parameters included in an ATR signal and a terminal capabilities signal to indicate whether a maximum power supply value for the smart card can be renegotiated

The present invention provides for a UICC interface and related interfacing method, for use in a mobile radio communications device and including an element enabling the UICC to provide an indication that at least one service requiring location data is present in the UICC, an element for UICC to receive notification that a source of location data is available, an element for allowing the UICC to initiate transfer of location data thereto, an element for the actual transfer of the location data to the UICC, and an element enabling the UICC to terminate the transfer of the location data, and wherein the location data can be provided from a GPS module or remotely in a contact-less manner.

Radio communications device, universal integrated circuit card and related method and communications device

A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is programmed with UICC applications metadata that is provided to the mobile device during a power-up or reset routine. The mobile device uses the UICC applications metadata to generate a user interface that allows a user to launch directly an application on the smart card. Icons for the UICC applications can be displayed together with icons for applications residing on the mobile device. In this way, the user selection of UICC resident applications is facilitated and can be made transparent to the user.

Communications device

A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is powered by the mobile device and a maximum power supply value is defined by the mobile device to control the power drawn by the smart card. Provision is made for the smart card to inform the mobile device of the processes supported by the smart card and their classes of current. Provision is also made for the smart card to inform the mobile device whether or not the smart card supports high density memory. The mobile device is operable to use the information provided by the smart card to determine the optimal or best value of electrical current that is to be made available to the smart card.

Power negotiation in a communications device

The invention provides for a method of communication within a mobile radio communications device between a chip-card in server mode and any one or more of a plurality of clients each having the same IP address, the method including the steps of creating for each of the clients a socket, wherein each socket is bound to a client port allocated by the device, associating a client identifier to each of the bound client ports, and making each said client identifier available to the chip-card whereby the chip card can distinguish between messages from the plurality of clients.

Client-server communications in mobile radio communications device

A method for allowing a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) to set up data bearer parameters for wireless communication between a User Equipment (UE) and a remote server in a telecommunication network, the UE including the UICC and a mobile equipment, the method including the UICC sending to the mobile equipment Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context parameters within a specific command defined for activating a PDP context, on reception of the specific command, the mobile equipment transmitting a PDP context activation request, including an access point name and the parameters received in the specific command, to the telecommunication network, on reception of the PDP context activation request, the telecommunication network transmitting to the mobile equipment a confirmation for a PDP context activation, and the mobile equipment, on receipt of the confirmation, sending a response message to the UICC for confirming a successful command performance.

Method for allowing a UICC to manage the PDP context parameters

The invention relates to a method for setting up data bearer parameters for a wireless communication between a User Equipment () and a remote server () in a telecommunication network, said UE () comprising a UICC () and a Mobile Equipment () having each a TCP/IP stack, said UICC () embodying at least one application intended to connect to at least one application on the network side, said method comprising the following steps:

Method for allowing a UICC to manage the PDP context paramethers

Smart card able to renegotiate the maximum power supplied to the smart card from a mobile device

A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is programmed to generate a new configure command that can be used to configure network related parameters with in the mobile device. The configure command can be used to override existing network related parameters or to add additional network related parameters. The network related parameters may relate to different access points and an identifier may be associated with each set of network parameters to facilitate the subsequent identification of desired network related parameters.

ME network parameters configuration by UICC

The invention relates to A method for speeding up the detection and the activation of the communication protocol used between a terminal () and a UICC () supporting at least one High Speed protocol (HSP). The method according to the invention is characterized by providing the terminal () with information about the High Speed Protocol supported by said UICC () through the current interface prior to the communication with said UICC () through a HSP interface.

Method for speeding up the detection and the activation of the communication interface between a terminal and a UICC

A method for providing a UICC embedded in a wireless Mobile Equipment (ME) with an operator DNS IP address in a Wireless communication Network, said method comprising the following steps:
