Abstract: Systems and methods for reconciling location based on multiple computing device signals. For example, the computing system can obtain location datasets associated with freight carrier services from computing sources. The computing system can determine an expected signal pattern for a location associated with a freight transportation service. The computing system can determine, for each computing source, a confidence score. The confidence score can represent the probability that the respective location dataset is associated with a load being transported for a freight transportation service. The computing system can determine a primary location dataset based on the confidence scores. The computing system can perform actions based on the primary location dataset.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a client device (CD) maintains a contact profile for a user of the CD, the contact profile including a universal identifier (UID) for the user and a list of devices and addresses at which the user of the CD can be contacted. The CD establishes a communication session with a remote CD (RCD) via a given contact address from the set of contact addresses for the RCD. The CD shares, in response to the communication session establishment, at least a portion of the contact profile to the RCD. The RCD generates and/or updates a given contact profile for the user of the CD that is maintained on the RCD based on the shared contact profile. The RCD can also share its profile with the CD in response to the communication session establishment, causing the CD to generate and/or update a contact profile for the RCD.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that is capable of accessing different types of networks such as a circuit-switched network, or any cellular network, and a packet-switched network. During hand-over from the first network to the second network, the sender of packets/frames expands or compresses the packet-switched packets using well-known time-warping techniques. At the receiver end, the received time-warped packets and frames from the second network are appropriately selected so that no unwanted artifacts are introduced during playback.

Abstract: A wireless terminal concurrently associates with multiple wireless local area networks. The wireless terminal may operate in power save mode on both of the WLANs to prevent a disruption of communication on either WLAN. The wireless terminal may adjust the times at which it listens for beacons to enable reception of beacon information even though the beacons for different WLANs may overlap in time. Beacon transmission times also may be scheduled to avoid overlapping transmissions of beacons on different WLANs.

Abstract: Techniques to improve the standby time of a station in a wireless network are described. An access point may advertise or convey a maximum listen interval and/or an association timeout supported by that access point. A station may operate in a power-save mode and may wake up every listen interval to receive a beacon and any potential traffic for the station. The station may select a suitable listen interval based on the maximum listen interval. The station may be dormant for a longer duration than the listen interval and may become active at least once in every association timeout in order to keep the association with the access point alive. The access point may also send broadcast and multicast traffic that might be of interest to stations in the power-save mode less frequently and using a special indication message.

Abstract: Broadcast or multicast traffic is classified into different types of traffic and different transmission schedules associated with each of the different types of traffic. The different types of broadcast and multicast traffic may be implemented in an 802.11-based system where an access point is configured to classify broadcast and multicast traffic into different types and assign different transmission schedules to each of the different traffic types. An associated wireless station may thereby wake from a power save mode only at intervals corresponding to delivery times of the types of traffic that the wireless station has elected to receive. In some aspects the different types of broadcast and multicast traffic may comprise user plane traffic and control plane traffic.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a wireless communication device and method for using the device. The wireless communications device may be used by accessing information in memory, the information relating to a first communications network. The information, along with one or more reference signals from a second communications network, is used to determine whether the wireless communications device is in the vicinity of the first communications network.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that measures characteristics or attributes of a first communications network that vary according to physical location within that first communications network to create a fingerprint, or signature, of a location within the first communications network. When the fingerprint of the current location of the mobile device is created it can be compared to a known fingerprint associated with a second communication network to determine the mobile device's proximity to the second communications network. Furthermore, the second and subsequent fingerprint that are generated for a particular communications network can be used to modify the stored fingerprint so as to refine it to improve detecting the proximity to the communications network.

Abstract: A Base Station Controller (BSC) that reduces the occurrence of audible noise in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) radio network is provided. The BSC according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a Media Stream Board (MSB) for compressing groups of 160 PCM speech samples from a Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) into vocoded frames, and a Special Purpose Board (SPB) for reformatting the vocoded frames from the MSB into over-the-air CDMA vocoded frames. The MSB and SPB each have a local timer that is slave to “PSTN time”. The BSC further comprises a Timing Unit Board (TUB) connected to a GPS receiver. The TUB receives “GPS time” from the GPS receiver. The TUB generates timing cells, each containing time-of-day information according to “GPS time”. The TUB distributes the timing cells to the MSB and the SPB over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. The MSB and SPB use the received timing cells to compare their local timer, which tracks “PSTN time”, to “GPS time”.
