Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards user equipment (UE) geolocation using a long history of network information. In some examples, a long history of network information associated with a UE can be processed to identify frequently repeated serving cell and correlated timing advance values. The frequently repeated serving cell and correlated timing advance values are indicative of frequently visited places. Next, the long history can be leveraged to determine locations of the frequently visited places with enhanced accuracy, and the resulting enhanced accuracy locations can be identified in a location lookup table for the UE. When the UE subsequently connects to the frequently repeated serving cell and the correlated timing advance value is observed, the location lookup table can be used to quickly assign an enhanced accuracy location to the UE.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards avoiding a misconfiguration that uses a Long Term Evolution (LTE) and new radio dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier as an LTE carrier and new radio primary secondary cell carrier concurrently for a dual connectivity mobile device. Network equipment can detect the misconfiguration and prevent its usage, or if already configured, deconfigure the LTE DSS secondary cell during setup of a dual connectivity mobile device. Alternatively a dual connectivity mobile device can detect the misconfiguration and notify the network to terminate one of the carriers. Information regarding the misconfiguration can be saved in the mobile device to proactively avoid the dual misconfiguration going forward. Such information can be communicated to other mobile devices, as well as the network.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards routing, by a mobile network operator, a message to a messaging hub associated with a partner carrier or to the partner carrier itself. In response to receiving a message to reroute, a data store (e.g., an ENUM database) is queried to attempt to obtain information corresponding to the routing. For example, when the query response includes a regular expression that specifies a domain, the domain is evaluated against a data structure of respective messaging hubs associated with respective domains. If the returned domain is matched such that an associated messaging hub is identified, the message is routed to the identified messaging hub; otherwise a mobile network partner carrier is determined based on the telephone number of the message recipient, and the message is routed to the determined partner carrier.
