  • Publication number: 20260353251
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards disabling mobile device communications when such communications can possibly interfere with aircraft equipment. Examples include disabling the C-Band communications of devices when proximate an aircraft and/or airport. A signal beacon can be sent to devices, and as one example, devices capable of C-Band communications can be configured to automatically disable this frequency band. Devices that cannot react to this signal can disable frequency band(s) / switch to airplane mode in other ways, including based on received notifications, or based on sensed condition data. For example, motion detection, possibly combined with location data and/or elevation data, can determine whether a device is aboard an aircraft that is taxiing, preparing for takeoff, taking off, preparing for landing or landing. Elevation data can detect when a device is below some defined ceiling elevation, to take action with respect to disabling one or more predetermined frequency bands.

  • Publication number: 20260353255
    Abstract: System information status is dynamically adjusted at a base station (e.g., a 5G gNB) from not broadcasting other system information block(s) to broadcasting, and vice versa, based on network condition data to improve network performance. When a sufficient number of user equipment devices are expected to transition from idle to connected mode, the base station broadcasts additional system information beyond minimum system information (e.g., SIB1) previously transmitted on-demand. A core network component can initiate the change, with the updated SIB1 data periodically broadcast to user equipment. A paging message is transmitted to instruct user equipment to process the updated SIB1 data. The system can revert to not broadcasting other system information when the network determines that broadcasting is unnecessary.
