Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate or support one or more operations or techniques for creating geofence assistance information, such as for use in or with a mobile communication device. Briefly, in accordance with at least one implementation, a method may include determining a geofence boundary; and identifying transmission cells forming a loop of contiguous cell coverage areas approximating the geofence boundary. In some instances, a loop of contiguous cell coverage areas approximating a geofence boundary may comprise a loop of contiguous cell coverage areas approximating a perimeter of the geofence boundary, for example.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing a cascade gain device comprising at least two gain stages are disclosed. A first noise figure associated with the first gain stage is incrementally increased by a plurality of noise figure increments determined based, at least in part, on a minimum noise figure and a maximum noise figure associated with the first gain stage. At each of the plurality of noise figure increments, at least a gain value that corresponds to the noise figure increment is calculated. One of the plurality of noise figure increments and the corresponding gain value is selected as an optimum noise figure of the first gain stage and an optimum gain value of the first gain stage respectively. Parameters of an inter-stage matching network associated with the first gain stage are configured based on the optimum noise figure and the optimum gain of the first gain stage.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to methods and apparatuses for observing signals transmitted by one or more transmitters in an asynchronous communication network and applying a time reference to generate a clock model. In one embodiment, parameters representing the clock model may then be forwarded to other mobile devices to assist in positioning operations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to selectively enable and disable one or more modules in a mobile communication device based on a variation in received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values to reduce power consumption while the mobile device is relatively stationary.

Abstract: A wireless network having a plurality of access points that automatically share positional information with each other without using a central server is disclosed. Each access point includes processor to generate location information associated with the respective access point, a location table having a plurality of entries each for storing location information associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of access points, and a transmitter to automatically broadcast all location information stored in the location table to other visible access points in response to an update in one or more of the entries.

Abstract: Dynamic channel reuse in multi-access communication systems. A first station in a communication network may receive a transmission over a communication medium. The first station may generate a reuse determination based on information from the received transmission. The reuse determination may be usable with at least one other reuse determination to coordinate reuse of the communication medium.
