Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Communication system to communication system gateway method and apparatus." This invention provides a method and apparatus for linking communication systems of different types. In this system, call requests are directed from a sourcing communication unit in a first communication system to a gateway. The gateway translates identity and call type information from the first system to at least one other system. It then requests radio frequency (RF) resources from each system to support the call. After sufficient RF resources have been received, the gateway issues call start information to each of the communication systems before the sourcing communication unit starts a call. The gateway is also operable to receive and translate a message payload from the sourcing communication unit and distribute the translated message payload to communication units in the other system.
Another significant patent is related to "Service request routing by a local resource controller." In this invention, a local resource controller receives a service request sourced by a communication unit. The local resource controller selects one of at least two service controllers where the service request is to be routed. The service request is then routed to the selected service controller via a network that connects the service controllers and the plurality of local resource controllers.
