FIELD OF THE INVENTION So-called multimode devices are currently being devel oped which should be capable of roaming in heterogeneous This invention relates to multimode roaming mobile network environments. For example, a device originally devices. provisioned in a CDMA network should be capable of roaming in a GSM, WLAN (Wide Local Area Network), BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems) or any other network. Service providers set up roaming agreements with other 10 service providers in different geographic regions so that SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION when the user is in a region where the home service provider does not offer a service, nevertheless the service can be It is an aim of the invention to enable selection of provided by a different service provider who has a billing preferred access technology in a geographical region for arrangement with the home service provider. Any particular 15 multimode mobile devices and to improve OTA manage region may support different systems and networks. For ment of preferred roaming lists for differing access tech CDMA (Code Division Multiplex Access) networks, a Pre nologies. ferred Roaming List PRL which is stored at the mobile According to one aspect of the invention there is provided device provides information about which system/network is a mobile device for roaming between wireless communica preferred in the region for that device. Over-the-air (OTA) tions networks in different geographical regions, the mobile Management protocols allow data to be transmitted to device comprising: an interface adapted to transmit and mobile devices via wireless transmission media. One receive signals over a wireless channel according to a example of OTA Device Management is the re-program communication mode using one of a plurality of access ming of the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). When a mobile technologies; and a store holding a preferred roaming list user is abroad and switches on the mobile device for the first 25 having a common block holding data common to said time, the mobile device performs a search for all available plurality of access technologies, and a set of access tech networks. The mobile device then reads from the PRL the nology-specific blocks each holding channel acquisition preferred networks and the order in which they should be data specific to one of the plurality of access technologies for offered to the user. Since preferred networks are constantly setting up said communication mode. changing as new roaming agreements are made, it is nec 30 Another aspect of the invention provides a method of essary to frequently update the PRL in the mobile device. selecting a communication mode for a mobile device roam This is achieved by downloading the revised PRL remotely ing between wireless communications networks in different using OTA technology. OTA protocols are defined for geographical regions, the method comprising the steps of example in the over-the-air service provisioning/parameter receiving network parameters identifying wireless commu administration (OTASP/OTAPA) and Open Mobile Alliance 35 nications networks in the region where the mobile device is (OMA) device management standards. located; comparing said parameters with preferences among Current protocols developed in OMA (Open Mobile Alli a plurality of access technologies and selecting one of said ance) DM (Device Management) provide an integrated access technologies; and Scanning channel acquisition data framework for OTA management of 3G mobile devices.

  • Mobile Phones in Society
    Mobile phone From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Cell Phone" redirects here. For the film, see Cell Phone (film). "Handphone" redirects here. For the film, see Handphone (film). Motorola L7 mobile phone A mobile phone, cell phone or hand phone is an electronic device used to make mobile telephone calls across a wide geographic area, served by many public cells, allowing the user to be mobile. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the range of a single, private base station, for example within a home or an office. A mobile phone can make and receive telephone calls to and from the public telephone network which includes other mobiles and fixed-line phones across the world. It does this by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile network operator. In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer these more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones. The first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing 2 kg.[1] In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first to be commercially available. In the twenty years from 1990 to 2010, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million to over 4.6 billion, penetrating the developing economies and reaching the bottom of the economic pyramid.[2][3] Contents [hide]

  • Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Recommendation on Reserve Price
    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Recommendation on Reserve Price for Auction of Spectrum in the 800 MHz Band 22nd February, 2014 CONTENTS TITLE PAGE NO. CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER-II AVAILABILITY OF SPECTRUM 6 IN THE 800 MHZ BAND CHAPTER-III THE VALUATION AND 26 RESERVE PRICE OF SPECTRUM CHAPTER-IV SUMMARY OF 60 RECOMMENDATIONS i CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), through its letter dated 12th December 2013 (Annexure-1.1) sought TRAI‟s recommendations on reserve price for 800 MHz band in all the service areas in terms of clause 11(1)(a) of the TRAI Act 1997 as amended by TRAI Amendment Act 2000. The Authority has finalized these recommendations in response to the DoT ‟s said reference. BACKGROUND 1.2 The Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India in its Judgment dated 2nd February 2012 in the Writ Petitions no 423/2010 and 10/2011, directed TRAI to make fresh recommendations for the grant of licence and allocation of spectrum in the 2G band in 22 Licence Service Areas (LSAs) by auction. 1.3 In its recommendations on „Auction of Spectrum‟ dated 23rd April 2012, the Authority recommended Rs. 3622 crore per 2x1 MHz as the reserve price for the spectrum in the 1800 MHz band on a pan-India basis price, which was derived on the basis of the price realized in the auction for 3G spectrum (2100 MHz band) held in May 2010. The reserve price for spectrum in 800/900 MHz bands was fixed at twice the reserve price for 1800 MHz spectrum, keeping in view their relative efficiencies and international experience.

INTRODUCTION CDMA is a digital wireless technology that offers a number of advantages over other mobile communication technologies. Frequency reuse, power control, enhanced voice privacy and soft hand- off are some of them. Smart Cards, known as R-UIM (Removable User Identity Module), are widely used in CDMA phones these days. This article gives an introduction to Over-the-Air provisioning technology in CDMA from the RUIM point of view. CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access CDMA is one of the multiple access systems that allows many users to occupy the same time and frequency allocations. Users are distinguished by unique codes. To achieve this, CDMA uses Spread Spectrum technology in which a signal occupies wider bandwidth than needed.
