US Classification:

37921501, 379 68, 379 8826, 37921101, 37921102

Abstract:

Embodiments of the method and system provide for providing a call waiting method for use in a telecommunications network in which a first caller is engaged in a current call with a second caller, and for processing an incoming call from a third caller to the first caller. The method may have the steps of: providing identification of a plurality of callers in a predefined caller group; detecting an incoming call from a third caller to a first caller, the first caller presently being engaged in a current call with a second caller; checking if the third caller is a member of the predefined caller group; if the third caller is a member of the predefined caller group, signaling the third caller to leave a message to be sent to the first caller with a call waiting indication, recording a message from the third caller, and providing to the first caller a call waiting indication along with the recorder message from the third caller; and, if the third caller is not a member of the predefined caller group, providing to the first caller only a call waiting indication. The system implements the method.

International Classification:

H04L 12/16

US Classification:

370261, 370263, 455416, 379158

Abstract:

In communication system (), a packet data terminal () (e. g. , personal computer (PC), personal digital assistant (PDA), telephone, mobile radiotelephone, network access device, Internet peripheral, and the like) initiates, coordinates, and controls the provision of on-demand conference call and call waiting services as a function of user inputs without the need for coordination of network resources that dominate conference call service as currently known and practiced. The packet data terminal permits users to establish call conference services for originating and terminating calls, alike. In addition, multi-party call waiting (two or more parties on-hold) services are established.

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04B 1/38

US Classification:

455456

Abstract:

An exemplary method in a wireless telecommunication system determines that a radio frequency (RF) communications link is not available to a wireless mobile. Information about a party originating a call to the wireless mobile is received and stored in a record associated with the wireless mobile. An alert flag associated with the wireless mobile is set. Upon determining that an RF link has become available to the wireless mobile and upon detecting the presence of the set alert flag, a communication action is automatically taken by which the party is made aware that an RF link is available to the wireless mobile, such as by sending a message to the party based on information stored about the party in the record.
