20090232045 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MESSAGE DELIVERY IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A router system maintains a status of a wireless device of either available or unavailable. The status of available may be indicative of the wireless device being in-coverage with a wireless network, whereas the status of unavailable may be indicative of the wireless device being out-of-coverage with the wireless network. The router system is adapted to receive, from a host service, a user data message that is addressed to an address of the wireless device. The user data message has a user data payload and one or more request parameters, where the one or more request parameters instruct the router system on whether to return at least a portion of the user data message to the host service when the device status is unavailable. In response to the user data message being received at the router system when the device status is available, the router system delivers the user data message to the wireless device via the wireless network. In response to the user data message being received at the router system when the device status is unavailable, the router system fails to delivery the user data message to the wireless device but sends the at least user data message portion to the host service. | 09-17-2009 |
20100122325 | Data Session Authentication Credentials Update For A Wireless Communication Device - Methods and apparatus of a wireless portable communication device for maintaining appropriate authentication credentials for accessing a data application maintained in a service network are provided.

In response to a change in service subscription for the wireless device, the wireless device receives, via a current cellular network, a current APN or NAI and stores it in its memory. The wireless device then submits, via the current wireless network, the current APN or NAI for establishing a data session in the current wireless network. The wireless device is then able to receive, in the data session via the current wireless network, the message service using the common data application maintained in the service network. | 05-13-2010 |
20110051637 | Methods Apparatus For Dynamically Adjusting A Data Packet Window Size For Data Packet Transmission In A Wireless Communication Network - A router is operative to perform the following actions for each one of a plurality of wireless devices operating in a wireless network. The router initially transmits a number of data packets matched for a window size which corresponds to a default window size. The router then measures a round trip time (RTT) associated with communication of each of the transmitted packets. The router increases the window size if the RTT associated with the communication of each of the transmitted packets is within a first threshold. On the other hand, the router decreases the window size if the RTT associated with the communication of any of the transmitted packets is more than the first threshold but less than a second threshold. The router sets or updates at least one of the first or the second thresholds based on traffic communicated to the plurality of wireless devices via the router. | 03-03-2011 |

20120250623 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MESSAGE DELIVERY IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A router system receives from a host service a message which is intended for delivery to a mobile device via a wireless network. The message includes at least a first field having an identifier which identifies the mobile device, a second field having a payload of the message, and a third field having a return packet indication on whether to return a return packet to the host service. The router system examines the indication in the message and, if the indication is set to a first setting, the router system returns to the host service a return packet which indicates a status associated with the message for delivery to the mobile device. If the indication is set to a second setting, then the router system does not return to the host service the return packet which indicates the status associated with the message for delivery to the mobile device. | 10-04-2012 |
20120275336 | Methods And Apparatus for Dynamically Adjusting A Data Packet Window Size For Data Packet Transmission In A Wireless Communication Network - A router is operative to perform the following actions for each one of a plurality of wireless mobile devices operating in a wireless network.

20100020697 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH OF WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS - A method and system for monitoring the health of a wireless telecommunication network. Network health is monitored without placing an administrative burden on the carrier network itself, instead, this burden is placed on components that lie outside the carrier network and pass communications through it. The data service provider infrastructure sends a request to a mobile device, asking that it return data regarding its location. The carrier networks handling the request insert location information into the packet that is sent to the mobile device, but this information is not sent to the data service provider infrastructure itself. The mobile device harvests this location information from the packets it receives and inserts it in a response packet that finds its way back to the data service provider infrastructure. The data service provider infrastructure is able to collate this location data and to analyze it, determining the carrier network's health. | 01-28-2010 |
