Caller name (CNAM) query results obtained from a traditional CNAM service are sent during call processing on a carrier network to the subscriber's mobile handset over a Short Message Service (SMS) channel on a mobile carrier network. A call page is received at a network carrier associated with a recipient of the received call page. A caller name (CNAM) query is performed, and the result of the performed CNAM query is sent to the recipient device before sending the call page to the recipient device. The CNAM query result is displayed on a display of the recipient device.

Enhancements of and to cell phone operations are based in whole or in part on determining the location of the cell phone. Systems and methods select and determine locations or areas of importance or relevance, and based on that information and other programmed factors affect or alter the operations of the cell phone. While the systems and methods are illustrated by use of cell phone embodiments and applications, they are equally applicable to virtually any portable or mobile communication device, including for example, wireless laptop computers and PDAs.

A configuration method for a sound collection system for a meeting using a plurality of terminals, the system obtaining speech from the terminals. The method includes: receiving external sounds from the respective terminals as collected-sound data, the external sounds being collected by the respective terminals; and determining a meeting to which each of the terminals belongs, in accordance with a degree of similarity between the collected-sound data. At least one of the receiving the collected-sound data and the determining the meeting is performed by a processor.

A voice call quality information generation method and an apparatus of a server for use in a wireless communication system are provided. The voice call quality information generation method includes receiving log information from at least one base station and generating voice call quality information using muting information generated based on the log information.

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for generating application recommendations to provide to a user of a mobile device. For instance, the systems and methods use social networking information to identify applications that may be of interest to the user, and present application recommendations to the user at various contact points on the mobile device. The present disclosure is also directed toward systems and methods for managing the download and installation of selected applications on a mobile device such that a presentation focus on an application does not change during a download and installation process.

Methods and apparatus to obtain voice messages are disclosed. One example method includes receiving at a mobile device an indication to access voicemail, determining if visual voicemail is available, and initiating a call to a voicemail system in response to determining that visual voicemail is unavailable.

The present invention discloses a communication method, a network device, user equipment, and a communications system. The communication method includes: determining, by a network device, to allocate a first secondary cell group to user equipment; and sending, by the network device, first configuration indication information to the user equipment, where the first configuration indication information is used to indicate at least one type of the following configuration: transmitting uplink control information related to a cell in the first secondary cell group by using a physical uplink control channel of a first cell, where the first cell belongs to a second secondary cell group of the user equipment; or processing data transmission on at least one cell in the first secondary cell group by using a layer 2 functional entity located in the second secondary cell group. The communication method disclosed in the present invention can reduce complexity of UE.

A method for prioritizing a mobile originated emergency call over mobile terminated call signaling, includes: initiating an emergency call on a first subscription; determining whether a mobile terminated (MT) call is incoming on a second subscription; in response to determining that the MT call is incoming on the second subscription, aborting the MT call signaling; determining whether the first subscription is out of service; and in response to determining that the first subscription is not out of service completing the emergency call on the first subscription.

A method and a callback notification system (CNS) are provided for sending a missed call ring alert (MCRA) from a source number to a destination number. The CNS receives communication information from a calling party device (CGPD) or a network thereof, when an unsuccessful communication attempt is made by the CGPD to contact a called party device (CDPD), and places a call to the destination number with an identification of an originator of the call as the source number using the communication information. The CNS identifies a ring of the CDPD when the call successfully reaches the destination number and terminates the call before chargeable completion of the call, thereby sending an MCRA from the source number of the CGPD to the destination number of the CDPD. The CNS sends one or more alternative callback notifications to the destination number, concurrently with the MCRA or if the MCRA is unsuccessful.

A device includes a communication unit configured to receive a call request from a calling user; and a control unit configured to control the communication unit to provide a response message including information about a current situation based on information about an application currently being executed to the calling user in response to a rejection regarding the call request.
