Abstract: A storytelling system includes location-based content (LBC) servers and LBC effects databases for use in a real-world story venue, and a computing platform communicatively coupled to those LBC servers and databases. A processor of the computing platform executes software code to receive story selection data from a user device, obtain a story template including story arcs each associated with one or more LBC effect(s) that corresponds to the story selection data, and determine, using a location of the user device, one of the story arcs as an active story arc. The software code also identifies an LBC interaction zone for the LBC effect(s), designates one LBC server and one LBC effects database for supporting the active story arc, and distributes one or more of the LBC effect(s) to the designated database. The designated server enables instantiation of the one or more of the LBC effect(s) at the LBC interaction zone.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operates to select and/or re-select among radio cells provided by access nodes of a wireless communication system. The UE measures quality of beams detected from each of the cells. For each of the cells, the UE derives cell quality based on the quality of the beams from the cell. For each of the cells, the UE determines the number of good beams among the beams from the cell based on a cell quality threshold received via system information. The UE ranks the cells in a ranking list relative to each other based on the number of good beams associated with respective ones of the cells and the cell quality. The UE controls, based on the ranking of the cells in the ranking list the number of good beams and the cell quality, selection and/or re-selection of a cell among the cells that is to be used for UE radio communications.
