A method for providing communication in a communication device is disclosed. The method may include receiving a control instruction for a call session via the communication device, and assessing a quality of service of at least one of a default Wi-Fi network and a radio network. The method may also include selectively recommending to a user of the communication device the radio network for the call session based on the quality of service, and initiating the call session using the default Wi-Fi network or the radio network based on a selection made by the user.

A mobile device can send information to a server by first obtaining, by the mobile device, a scheduled time to send the information to the server. In response to determining, by the mobile device, that a trigger condition is met before the scheduled time, the mobile device sends at least a portion of the information from the mobile device to the server.

A wireless gateway disposed in a subscriber domain detects presence of a communication device communicating in a vicinity of the subscriber domain over a first wireless communication link such as a wireless cellular phone link. In response to detecting the communication device in the subscriber domain, the wireless gateway provides notification of a presence of the wireless gateway hardware to the communication device. The wireless gateway participates in establishing a second wireless communication link between the communication device and the wireless gateway to facilitate a handoff of a communication session from the first wireless communication link to the second wireless communication link.

A self-organizing network includes one or more tools. Such tools may be configured to determine, based on one or more performance indicators, that network usage in a first portion of a frequency spectrum satisfies a first usage threshold of the first portion. Such tools may also be configured to transition, in response to the determining, the plurality of users from the first portion to a second portion of the frequency spectrum different from the first portion. Such tools may further be configured to hinder the plurality of users from returning to the first portion from the second portion.

Packet data protocol (PDP) contexts are managed upon cellular-to-femto handover, wherein femto network has disparate capabilities to support applications with distinct access point names (APNs) and quality of service (QoS) profiles. Based at least on activity factors of applications associated with PDP contexts, a QoS-based ranking of PDP contexts, and subscriber input, cellular network platform selects active PDP contexts to retain and suspend upon handover. A group of active PDP contexts is handed off in accordance with femto coverage capability, with remaining active PDP contexts suspended during handover. When a suspended PDP context, and application associated therewith, is resumed through femto coverage, a PDP context modification is conducted with a new APN and the application is routed to a corresponding femto gateway node and application server. Additionally, femto network platform performs a radio access bearer reconfiguration to meet QoS requirements of the resumed PDP context.

Systems and methods for controlling communication systems for the hearing impaired are disclosed. A portable communication device requests control over a plurality of communication devices. The portable communication device connects to and controls the plurality of communication devices. The portable communication device includes a user interface that enables a user to transfer a call from a first communication device to a second communication device.

A wireless communication device, a wireless communication method, and a program are provided in which even when communications in a plurality of kinds of wireless communication modes are performed via a single antenna, the communications in these wireless communication modes can coexist and the communications can be appropriately performed. In the case where communications in a BT wireless communication mode in which processing of searching for registered target devices 4 is repeatedly executed at predetermined execution intervals in order to connect to the registered target devices 4 and in a Wi-Fi wireless communication mode are performed via a single antenna 21, the execution intervals of searching for the registered target devices 4 via BT are changed to a value larger than a reference interval during at least a part of a period during which Wi-Fi communication is being performed or Wi-Fi communication is enabled.

A method for performing a data session via a Wi-Fi access of a user equipment (UE) in a cellular network is provided. The method includes maintaining a look-up table including at least an entry, the entry including a Wi-Fi identifier of a Wi-Fi access point (AP) and location information of the Wi-Fi AP, determining whether a user preference for a Wi-Fi connection is set to ON or OFF, checking whether at least one matched entry of the look-up table is found based on current location information of the UE, scanning to discover the Wi-Fi AP, connecting to a Wi-Fi AP corresponding to the matched entry based on a result of the determining, and performing a data session via a Wi-Fi access to the connected Wi-Fi AP.
