Method for transferring data using expanded permanent identifier
First Claim
1. A method of transferring data in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- a) receiving data to be transferred to a destination entity;
b) forming a first permanent identifier including routing information to a home system;
c) forming an expanded second permanent identifier having a second permanent identifier portion and an expanded portion, the second permanent identifier portion including identification information for the mobile communication system, and the expanded portion including a portion of the received data;
d) sending, from a communication device, at least the first permanent identifier and the expanded second permanent identifier.

Abstract
The method for transferring data sends the data as part of the expanded portion of an expanded permanent identifier which is associated with an end user in a communication system. The expanded permanent identifier is sent along with another permanent identifier, also associated with the end user, during a communication procedure prior to establishing a traffic channel in the communication system. The other permanent identifier includes routing information to a home system forming part of the communication system. Based at least in part on recognizing the other permanent identifier, a home system sends at least the expanded permanent identifier to a destination entity. The destination entity extracts the data from the expanded permanent identifier. In this manner, a traffic channel does not need to be established to transmit the data.

12. A method of transferring data in mobile communication system, comprising:
-
a) receiving data;
b) forming a first permanent identifier including routing information to a home system;
c) forming an expanded second permanent identifier having a second permanent identifier portion and an expanded portion, and the expanded portion including a portion of the received data;
c) sending, from a communication device, at least the first permanent identifier and the expanded second permanent identifier, wherein the step c) forms the expanded portion to further include destination entity routing information indicating to which destination entity to route the expanded second permanent identifier.

13. A method of processing a permanent identifier in a mobile communication system, comprising:
-
a) storing at least one permanent identifier of a first type;
b) receiving a permanent identifier of the first type and a permanent identifier of a second type, the received permanent identifier of the second type being an expanded permanent identifier including identification information for the mobile communication system and data;
c) determining if the received permanent identifier of the first type matches one of the stored predetermined permanent identifiers of the first type;
d) sending the received permanent identifier of the second type to a destination entity if the step c) determines a match exists. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
e) storing a predetermined permanent identifier of the second type associated with each stored predetermined permanent identifier of the first type;
f) determining if the received permanent identifier of the second type matches the stored predetermined permanent identifier of the second type associated with the stored predetermined permanent identifier of the first type that the step c) determined matched the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists; and
whereinthe step d) sends at least the received permanent identifier of the second type to a destination entity associated with the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists and the step f) determines that a match does not exist.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the step d) sends the received permanent identifiers of the first and second types to the destination entity associated with the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists and the step f) determines that a match does not exist.
-
16. The method of claim 13, wherein the step b) receives the permanent identifiers of the first and second types at a home system;
- and
the received permanent identifier of the first type includes first routing information to the home system.
- and
-
17. The method of claim 16, wherein the received permanent identifier of the second type further includes second routing information to a destination entity.
-
18. The method of claim 17, wherein the step d) sends the received permanent identifier of the second type to the destination entity indicated in the second routing information.
-
19. The method of claim 16, wherein the destination entity is the home system.
-
20. The method of claim 16, wherein the home system forms part of a wireless communication system.
-
21. The method of claim 16, wherein the home system forms part of a wireline communication system.
-
22. The method of claim 13, further comprising:
g) extracting, at the destination entity, a portion of the received permanent identifier of the second type as data.
-
23. The method of claim 13, wherein the received permanent identifier of the second type is associated with a source of the received permanent identifiers of the first and second types.
-
24. A method of processing a permanent identifier, comprising:
-
a) storing at least one permanent identifier of a first type;
b) receiving a permanent identifier of the first type and a permanent identifier of a second type, the received permanent identifier of the second type being an expanded permanent identifier;
c) determining if the received permanent identifier of the first type matches one of the stored predetermined permanent identifiers of the first type;
d) sending the received permanent identifier of the second type to a destination entity if the step c) determines a match exists;
e) storing a predetermined permanent identifier of the second type associated with each stored predetermined permanent identifier of the first type;
f) determining if the received permanent identifier of the second type matches the stored predetermined permanent identifier of the second type associated with the stored predetermined permanent identifier of the first type that the step c) determined matched the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists; and
whereinthe step d) sends at least the received permanent identifier of the second type to a destination entity associated with the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists and the step f) determines that a match does not exist.
