Abstract: A device and method for a user equipment (UE) to implement power savings mechanisms when operating within a significant location. The UE identifies that the UE is at a significant location. The significant location is a location relative to a currently camped cell of a network. At a first time and at the significant location, the UE performs a type of operation related to the network connection. The UE stores information corresponding to the performance of the type of operation at the first time in a profile associated with the significant location. At a second time and at the significant location, the UE performs the type of operation related to the network connection. The performance of the type of operation at the second time is modified based on the information stored in the profile associated with the significant location.

Abstract: A method can include detecting local devices with a wireless first communication interface (IF) of a gateway device; authenticating at least one local device with the gateway device, including by operation of the first communication IF and a second communication IF, relaying secure communications between the at least one local device and a server to enable authentication of the at least one local device by the server, and after receiving authentication of the at least one local device at the gateway device, transmitting user information for storage in a secure memory of the authenticated local device; and operating the gateway device as a common access point to the network for any of a plurality of local devices authenticated with the gateway device. Related systems and gateway devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: Dynamic bandwidth selection based on environmental conditions is described. A bandwidth of a sub-bandwidth may be selected based on signal strength, channel interference, or overlap to optimize throughput and/or energy per bit. Additionally, system power level may define a communication bandwidth.

Abstract: Various configurations and arrangements of various systems and methods for identifying, detecting and obtaining service on closed subscriber group systems are disclosed. A method in accordance with the disclosure includes receiving first information from a first AP that supports a first wireless technology. The first information is indicative of the first AP. The method further includes determining if the first information matches second information stored in a memory in association with third information stored in the memory. The third information is indicative of a second AP that supports a second wireless technology. The method further includes, upon determining, that the first information matches the second information, attempting to establish a connection with the second AP based on the third information.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes an architecture for handling femtocell fingerprints, and searching for femtocells. The architecture may control the frequencies for which the femtocell search is performed in various manners. For example, the architecture may schedule a round-robin list of femtocell frequencies for measurement, and may reduce the search space according to the frequency bands actually in use in the region in which the UE is located, according to whether or not reselection timers are running for specific frequencies, or in other ways.

Abstract: A mobile device may place an emergency call via a wireless cellular network. The mobile device receives an initiation of the emergency call and determines whether a first base station to which it is attempting to connect is authenticated. Authentication of the first base station is determined based on a state of an authentication timer of the mobile device. If authentication of the first base station fails, the mobile device establishes a connection to a second base station and places the emergency call via the connection with the second base station.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes an architecture for handling femtocell fingerprints. The architecture may, as examples, maintain the validity and reliability of fingerprints and coordinate enhancement to existing fingerprints. The architecture also supports fingerprint creation, updating, and deletion.
