A method for connecting a mobile device with one of a plurality of wireless networks begins by initiating a network selection process of the mobile device with the plurality of wireless networks. A remote server determines a geographic position of the mobile device with respect to at least one of the plurality of wireless networks. The remote server selects one of a first network and a second network of the plurality of wireless networks responsive to the determined geographic position of the mobile device and an associated rule set stored at the remote server.

Location based network selection method for a mobile device

A method for connecting a mobile device with one of a plurality of wireless networks, involves initiating a registration of the mobile device with one of the plurality of wireless networks. A geographic position of the mobile device is determined with respect to at least one of the plurality of wireless networks. A connection is established to one of the plurality of wireless networks responsive to the determined geographic position of the mobile device.

A roaming partner selection system associated with a mobile device includes a preferred roaming list providing a plurality roaming partner networks that may provide a network connection to the mobile device when a home network may not be selected. At least one rule set controls the selection of one of a roaming partner network from the preferred provider list or a home network for establishing a connection with mobile device. Control logic controls a selection of at least one of the roaming partner network from the home network responsive to the at least one rule set and at least one predetermined input parameter. The at least one rule set establishes which of the at least one of the plurality of roaming partner networks or the home network should be selected by the control logic responsive to the at least one predetermined parameter.

Intelligent network selection system

Location-based network selection method for a mobile device

A method for determining a quality of a wireless data connection including receiving a thruput of the wireless data connection, a data round trip time, a number of clicks needed to receive a predetermined data value and a packet loss percentage. A determination of a data quality index value for the wireless data connection is made responsive to the thruput of the wireless data connection, the data round trip time, the number of clicks needed to receive the predetermined data value and the packet loss percentage. The data quality index value for the wireless data connection is then provided.

System and method for determining data service quality index for a wireless data connection

A group call conferencing system and method is disclosed wherein a call to a Virtual Home Phone (VHP) number is processed by a Virtual Home Phone Session Control Function (VHPSCF) to ring all family or group member mobile phones. Any family member can answer the call through a conference bridge set up by the VHPSCF and other family members can participate in the call before the call ends by connecting to the conference bridge.
