Abstract: Systems and methods including mobile devices determining their locations using location determination units, such as GPS receivers. A computing device generates a statistical measurement of location pattern changes in relation to a predetermined region for a predetermined period of time. The measurement is generated from a difference between responses of exposed mobile devices and responses of non-exposed mobile devices, which devices are selected based on a cluster analysis to match the distributions of the exposed mobile devices and the non-exposed mobile devices in an attribute space. Each response of a mobile device can be computed based on applying, at a time instance, an anti-symmetric weight function having an exponential distribution to a time series of visitation measurements to generate a response corresponding to the time instance, and summing the responses corresponding to time instances falling within the predetermined period of time as the response of the mobile device.

At least one icon is displayed in the aerial view representing the service provider at the geographic location corresponding to at least one time interval during the event.

Abstract: The invention is directed to allowing network base stations to receive information from mobile communication terminals about terminal-detected usage of unlicensed band utilization, e.g., due to uncoordinated short-range wireless communication usage in combination with LTE deployments in unlicensed bands. The present invention introduces additional information into automatic neighbor relation (ANR) reporting. The additional information comprises information associated with the unlicensed band utilization. The additional information enables a base station scheduler (e.g., an LTE base station scheduler) associated with a base station to take radio access technology (RAT) utilization other than cellular utilization (e.g., 2G, 3G, LTE, etc.) into account in order to decrease in-device coexistence issues and increase unlicensed band system capacity.

Abstract: Apparatuses of wireless communication systems are disclosed. A User Equipment (UE) stores an enhanced coverage restricted parameter from a Mobility Management Entity (MME), and operates in the enhanced coverage mode if the enhanced coverage restricted parameter indicates that the UE is not restricted. The MME decodes an enhanced coverage restricted parameter received from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), and generates a message to send the enhanced coverage restricted parameter to the UE. An eNode B decodes a message from the UE, the message indicating that the UE supports restriction for use of enhanced coverage. The eNB decodes an S1 Application Protocol (S1-AP) initial context set-up request message configured to indicate an enhanced coverage restricted parameter, the message received from the MME. The eNB operates in the enhanced coverage mode for the UE unless the enhanced coverage restricted parameter indicates that the enhanced coverage is restricted.
