Abstract: For event reporting between a first node and a second node of a mobile telecommunications network, the second node sends an indication to the first node to subscribe to reporting of a certain event type by the first node. The indication may specify that a change in type of radio access technology, as used by a user equipment for connecting to the telecommunications network, is to be reported from the first node to the second node. The second node may provide additional information to the first node to further specify a subtype of the event to be reported. The additional information may specify at least one type of radio access technology. Based on detecting the event of the specified event type and subtype, e.g., a change to or from a specific type of radio access technology, the first node sends a report of the detected event to the second node.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and arrangements for re-establishing packet data transfer between a radio base station and a wireless device following radio link failure, the radio base station having pre-configured wireless device information. The RBS receives a request for re-establishment of the radio link from the wireless device. One or more DRBs are selected for re-establishment based on the pre-configured wireless device information. The RBS transmits a radio link re-establishment response to the wireless device comprising information about the selected one or more DRBs. The selected one or more DRBs are re-established upon receipt of a re-establishment confirmation from the wireless device, whereupon packet data transfer is resumed.

Abstract: A distributed antenna system is provided that frequency shifts the output of one or more microcells to a 60 GHz or higher frequency range for transmission to a set of distributed antennas. The cellular band outputs of these microcell base station devices are used to modulate a 60 GHz (or higher) carrier wave, yielding a group of subcarriers on the 60 GHz carrier wave. This group will then be transmitted in the air via analog microwave RF unit, after which it can be repeated or radiated to the surrounding area. The repeaters amplify the signal and resend it on the air again toward the next repeater. In places where a microcell is required, the 60 GHz signal is shifted in frequency back to its original frequency (e.g., the 1.9 GHz cellular band) and radiated locally to nearby mobile devices.

Abstract: Determining a location of a user equipment (UE) based on historical location data and historical sector transition data is disclosed. A correlation between historic location information and a historic sector transition can be determined. The correlation can be stored in a searchable data set. A location of a current UE can be inferred based on a sector transition of the current UE. The sector transition of the current UE can be searched against eh data set to indicate a likely location of the current UE based on historical information. The searchable data set can be based on sparse location data enabling location determinations for a current UE that can otherwise lack location services. Moreover, an order of a sector transition can imbue a directionality to stored location information such that a likely location in a sector can be correlated to a transition from a prior sector of a network session of the UE.

Abstract: A technique redirects a Diameter client command from a first server that has become unavailable to a second server consistent with a Diameter protocol. A method includes identifying a first authentication server as unavailable based on a redirect indication received from a second authentication server via a routing agent in response to a request for authentication of a user to the first authentication server. The method includes authenticating the user by the second authentication server in response to a subsequent request for authentication of the user to the second authentication server. The subsequent request for authentication includes an indication of a failure of the first authentication server. The method may include establishing a first service session in response to authenticating the user by the first authentication server and maintaining the first service session using the IP address of the first service session while the second authentication server authenticates the user.

Abstract: An encoder calculates an indication to a previous reference picture having temporal identity of zero. The encoder creates a first set of indicators to the previous reference picture, to all reference pictures in a first reference picture set of the previous reference picture, and to all pictures following the previous reference picture in decoding order and precede the current picture in decoding order. The encoder sets a flag for picture order count cycle, when a long term reference picture (LTRP) has least significant bits (LSBs) of a picture order count, for which more than one picture in the first set share same value of the LSBs of picture order count as the LTRP. The decoder obtains LSB of a picture order count for a LTRP in a reference picture set of the current picture. The decoder concludes non-compliant bitstream based on indications provided by the flag.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for controlling communication behavior of application programs running on a user equipment device (UE) based on joint consideration of predicted roaming and predicted communication behavior of the application programs. A UE may monitor its operational state data during times when it is operating in a wireless network of a home service provider and during other times when it is roaming in a wireless network of a different service provider, and apply the monitored operational state data to a roaming prediction model configured for predicting future roaming state. The UE may also monitor communication behavior data of resident application programs, and apply the monitored communication behavior data to an application-communication prediction model configured for predicting future communication behavior of the applications.
