摘要： A wireless communication system 5 comprises a wireless communication device arranged to detect multiple wireless access networks available for connection to the wireless communication device for providing data services. The device is arranged to discover one or more access capabilities of at least one of the detected wireless access networks, and compares the discovered access capabilities with a mobility policy so as to select an available wireless access networks for connection. Access capabilities may include aspects such as IP protocols and ports allowed by an access network, and capacity constraints such as available uplink and downlink transmission rates.

摘要： A cellular communication system comprises a user equipment (101) which is arranged to transmit control channel messages to a network (103) of the communication system. When a message is transmitted, the user equipment (101) enters an active monitoring mode for a time interval after which it returns to the power-down mode. The user equipment (101) monitors a paging channel when in the active monitoring mode but not in all paging cycles when in the power-down mode. The network (103) is arranged to transmit paging messages in response to a detection of the control channel message from the user equipment (101). The invention may allow a much longer power-down interval thereby reducing power consumption and increasing battery life. The approach may be particularly suitable for machine-to-machine communications.

摘要： While a mobile wireless device (102) operates in a home region (106), the mobile wireless device (102) displays public broadcast messages in accordance with the default broadcast message display settings (244) for the home region (106). In the event that the mobile wireless device (102) transits to a different region (110) for which region-specific broadcast message display settings have not already been configured, the mobile wireless device (102) queries a user to configure the broadcast message display settings (244) to be used for the new region (110). The display settings for a given region may be stored such that when the mobile wireless device (102) enters a region previously visited, the previously-configured display settings for the previously-visited region may be automatically implemented without user prompting.

摘要： An apparatus (101) for accessing an access point of a Wireless Local Area Network, (WLAN) comprises an access message generator (207) which generates encrypted probe messages that are encrypted in response to a plurality of test network identities. The access message generator (207) is coupled to a WLAN transceiver (203) which transmits the encrypted probe messages to an access point (113). The access point (113) decodes received access messages using a decryption key which depends on a network identity of the access point (113). If an encrypted probe message is successfully decrypted, a positive acknowledgement message is transmitted to the apparatus (101). This is received by the WLAN transceiver (203) and fed to an identity processor (211) which determines the network identity of the access point (113) as the test network identity of the encrypted probe message for which the positive acknowledgement message is received. The invention may be particularly suitable for interworking of WLAN and cellular communication systems.
