Abstract
To select a shoulder-tap method or a set of methods that optimizes the delivery of a shoulder-tap with respect to feasibility, reliability, and cost, in accordance with the present invention. Each shoulder-tap method can be evaluated on its feasibility, reliability and cost. A shoulder-tap method can be selected and used that optimizes reliability and cost with respect to feasibility constraints.
Claims20
A method for selecting a shoulder-tap approach for delivery to a cellular mobile station comprising:
- determining a cellular mobile station profile having cellular mobile station characteristics of at least one of a cellular mobile station state and a radio access technology;
- determining one or more shoulder-tap characteristics of a plurality of shoulder-tap approaches wherein the shoulder-tap characteristics of each of plurality of shoulder-tap approach includes at least one of:
- IP State, number of characters of data, data alphabet value, numeric data range value, relative reliability value and relative cost value;
- comparing the cellular mobile station characteristics of the cellular mobile profile and the one or more shoulder-tap characteristics;
- and
- selecting at least one of the shoulder-tap approaches in relation to a result of the comparing.
A method for delivering a prioritized shoulder-tap approach to a cellular mobile station comprising:
- determining a cellular mobile station profile having cellular mobile station characteristics of a cellular mobile station state and a radio access technology;
- determining two or more shoulder-tap characteristics of a two or more shoulder-tap approaches wherein the shoulder-tap characteristics of each of the two or more of shoulder-tap approach includes at least one of:
- IP State, number of characters of data, data alphabet value, numeric data range value, relative reliability value and relative cost value;
- comparing the cellular mobile station characteristics of the cellular mobile profile and the two or more shoulder-tap characteristics;
- and
- delivering at least one of the compared shoulder-tap approaches to the cellular mobile station.
A method for selecting and delivering one or more shoulder-tap approaches for delivery to a mobile cellular station in a prioritized manner comprising the steps of:
- determining a cellular mobile station profile having cellular mobile station characteristics;
- determining shoulder-tap characteristics of at least two shoulder-tap approaches;
- comparing the at least two cellular mobile station characteristics of the cellular mobile profile and the shoulder-tap characteristics of each of the at least two shoulder-tap approaches in relation to a predetermined preference profile having a hierarchy of prioritized preferences;
- selecting shoulder-tap approaches in relation to the step of comparing for feasibility;
- and
- delivering in relation to the prioritized preferences at least one of the selected shoulder-tap approaches to the cellular mobile station.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer usable medium, comprising:
- computer readable program means for causing a computer to control an execution of an application to perform a method for delivering a prioritized shoulder-tap approach to a cellular mobile station comprising the steps of:
- determining a cellular mobile station profile having cellular mobile station characteristics of a cellular mobile station state and a radio access technology;
- determining two or more shoulder-tap characteristics of a two or more shoulder-tap approaches wherein the shoulder-tap characteristics of each of the two or more of shoulder-tap approach includes at least one of:
- IP State, number of characters of data, data alphabet value, numeric data range value, relative reliability value and relative cost value;
- comparing the cellular mobile station characteristics of the cellular mobile profile and the two or more shoulder-tap characteristics;
- and
- delivering at least one of the compared shoulder-tap approaches to the cellular mobile station.
