Abstract: A paging procedure of a mobile telecommunications system is modified to page a terminal using all the transceiver node cells in the coverage area allocated to the terminal that operate in the frequency bands indicated by frequency band capability data for the terminal, but not using the transceiver node cells in the coverage area allocated to the terminal that operate only in other ones of the frequency bands. In one embodiment a control entity is operable to initiate an initial paging procedure by paging based on the characteristic of the terminal obtained by the control entity, and to initiate a subsequent paging procedure if no paging response is received from the terminal. In another embodiment, coverage area allocation means allocates each of the transceiver node cells to one or more of the coverage areas in dependence upon on which of the frequency bands the cell is capable of communicating.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a predetermined condition in a harsh environment, includes wireless sensor nodes each having a physical clock and a soft clock. The sensor configured to detect the predetermined condition. Each wireless sensor node remains in a sleep mode, then independently, when a triggering event is true, the soft clock evolves a value of a dynamical local time variable using time variable values communicated by random other of the wireless sensor nodes that are within a single hop based on the harsh environment, infers from its dynamical local time variable the communication instant at which the dynamical local time variable is closest to the time value of the gateway node, and initializes the physical clock using the value of the dynamical local time variable at that instant to generate and communicate the local node time through the gateway node to the end-user device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to opportunistically selecting an antenna in an electronic device having multiple antennas. A baseband processor of the electronic device may connect to a first cellular tower providing cellular service at a first frequency using a first antenna of the electronic device. The baseband processor may then receive an indication of a handover event to a second cellular tower operating at a second frequency. The baseband processor may determine signal measurements of the second cellular tower for each antenna of the electronic device that is capable of operating at the second frequency. The baseband processor may execute a handover to the second cellular tower using the antenna associated with the best performing signal measurements. In this manner, an antenna may be opportunistically selected based on performance of the antenna, improving operation of the electronic device and quality of cellular service.

The geolocation records can be processed to determine the position and movement of the access point. The geolocation records and/or location information can be passed to other transient clients that do not have inherent location capability.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for validating and supplementing emergency call information removing private information. A Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) receives an emergency (e.g., 911) call from a mobile device. Parts of the emergency call are processed to identify an emergency call location. Characteristics of the emergency call are combined with characteristics of other signals to identify an emergency call event, including an event location. The emergency call event is sent to the PSAP. Prior to receiving phase II data, and possibly even prior to receiving phase I data, the PSAP receives the event. The PSAP tailors dispatch of emergency resources responding to the emergency call based on characteristics of the event, including the event location. A privacy infrastructure spans signal ingestion, event detection, and event notification and protects the integrity of private information.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for validating and supplementing emergency call information removing private information. A probability that an emergency call originated from a location is derived from features of a normalized signal version of the emergency call. An additional normalized signal is accessed within a specified distance of the location. The location is validated from features of the additional signal. An event is detected from the features of the normalized signal version of the emergency call based on the validated location. The validated location is associated with an obtained event truthfulness probability for the event. The event is sent to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). A privacy infrastructure spans signal ingestion, event detection, and event notification and protects the integrity of private information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic access network slice switching and carrier aggregation include a radio access network (RAN) and user devices with dual radio user equipment. The RAN receives a 4G and a 5G service request from user equipment having a specified priority. A first RAN slice for the 4G and 5G service request is instantiated using a RAN scheduler. A temporary radio resource control protocol slice having an associated timer that allows the dual radio user equipment to stay connected to the RAN for a period of time is then instantiated. Instructions identifying an appropriate resource and RAN slice for complying with user plane service level agreement requirements are received at the RAN and a second RAN slice for instantiating a carrier aggregation slice comprising both the 4G and 5G radio resource control protocol request for complying with the user plane service level agreement requirement is engaged.
