Abstract: Techniques are provided for enabling contextual Quality of Service (QoS) of mobile services. An example method of generating an output based on a contextual quality of service includes obtaining an input with a device module, determining a context indicator based on the input, determining a quality of service based at least in part on the context indicator, and generating the output based at least in part on the input and the quality of service.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for addressing effects of transmission by a transmitter in an assigned uplink communication channel on a signal received at a receiver co-located with the transmitter. In a particular embodiment, communication in an alternative communication channel may be initiated in response to a determination that uplink transmission in the assigned communication channel likely interferes with at least one radio frequency receiving function.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein are generally directed toward providing customized location database information regarding terrestrial transceivers to a mobile device (e.g., a semi-connected mobile device) by causing the mobile device to scan for terrestrial transceivers during a first period of time, provide a list of the terrestrial transceivers detected during the first period of time to a location server, and receive location information for terrestrial transceivers on the list. Using this location information, the mobile device can subsequently (e.g., during a second period of time) calculate its position when the terrestrial transceivers are detected.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method performed by an access point in a wireless local area network (WLAN), includes receiving a first ranging request message from a first device and monitoring for a second ranging request message from a second device on a channel of the WLAN. The first ranging request message includes a device identifier of the first device and the second ranging request message includes a device identifier of the second device. In response to receiving the second ranging request message, the access point combines the device identifier of the first device, first timing information associated with the first ranging request message, the device identifier of the second device, and second timing information associated with the second ranging request message into a single ranging response message. The access point then broadcasts the single ranging response message on the channel of the WLAN.
