Abstract: A Fifth Generation (5G) access node exchanges user data with User Equipment (UE) and exchanges the user data with a 5G User Plane Function (UPF). A 5G Core (5GC) identifies a handover to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access node. In response, the 5GC selects an LTE Gateway Identifier (GW ID) for an LTE gateway that is physically co-located with the 5G UPF. The 5GC transfers handover signaling indicating the LTE GW ID and the LTE access node ID to a Mobility Management Entity (MME). The MME transfers signaling to the LTE access node and the LTE gateway. The LTE access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the UE and exchanges the user data with the LTE GW in response to the signaling. The LTE gateway exchanges the user data with the LTE access node.

Abstract: A wireless device determines whether a data session is performance sensitive, and in response to the data session being performance sensitive, selects a data transport node (DTN) and performs the data session using the selected DTN. Whether a data session is performance sensitive may be determined using information on a process associated with the data session, by monitoring the data session, or both. The DTN may be selected from a list of available DTNs according to which DTN will probably provide the highest performance for the data session, or according to which DTN or DTNs will probably provide adequate performance. Micro speed tests, historical performance information, or other criteria may be used to predict the performance of the available DTNs. When multiple DTNs satisfy the selection criteria, a “good neighbor” policy may be used to select the DTN.

Abstract: A user equipment (e.g., mobile device) can determine whether a first mobile code stored on the user equipment matches a second mobile code received from a mobile network to which the user equipment is connected. In response to a determination indicating that the first mobile code and the second mobile code match, the user equipment can activate a Wi-Fi calling module on the user equipment to connect to an evolved packet data gateway device in the mobile network that is used for routing voice over internet protocol packets. In response to a dialed number being determined not to relate to an emergency call, the user equipment can initiate the call via a Wi-Fi calling module, and transmit a voice over internet protocol packet related to the call via a cellular data connection to the evolved packet data gateway device.

Abstract: A phone device monitors an accelerometer while traveling in a vehicle to detect unusually large excursions or sudden changes in acceleration magnitude. When such an excursion is detected, the phone device then compares the excursion with the output of other components in the vehicle that can confirm or dispel a finding that the vehicle has experienced a collision. Once a likely collision has been detected, the phone device goes into an automated assistance mode where the use can be voice prompted as to their condition. If no response is received, the phone device can automatically call emergency services for assistance, providing the present location of the phone device. In less severe incidents, the phone device can automatically offer immediate access to other services, include a towing service, an attorney, an automobile service, among others. The service providers are based on a geo-fenced region in which the phone device is located.
