Abstract: An enhanced automatic neighbor relation (“ANR”) function can estimate a plurality of terrestrial cells within a coverage area of an aerial cell. The enhanced ANR function can monitor an exchange of a serving cell unique identifier sent to a target cell and a target cell unique identifier sent to a serving cell. The enhanced ANR function can determine a serving cell type and a target cell type, wherein the serving cell type and the target cell type identify the serving cell and the target cell, respectively, as either a terrestrial cell type or an aerial cell type. The enhanced ANR function can then determine whether a serving cell neighbor relation table (“NRT”) associated with the serving cell, a target cell NRT associated with the target cell, or both would be compromised if a corresponding NR is added into the serving cell NRT and the target cell NRT.

Abstract: A micro-hazard monitoring system detects and addresses micro-hazards in a user's environment. The system directs the user to traverse the environment, gathering mapping data for the space and objects found there. The system maps the user's environment, noting the locations and types of objects. Movement and wear simulations are performed on the mapped space advancing time to estimate the likelihood of damaging user/object interactions and the extents of any resulting damage, based on information in that map, the system notes potential problems and computes one or more micro-hazard scores reflecting the nature and severity of the potential problems. If a score so warrants, the system takes remedial action to address the micro-hazard, such as warning the user about the existence of the micro-hazard and potentially what to do about it and/or taking a direct action such as shutting off an electronic device.
