Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to detection of an opportune time period to deliver a notification. Responsive to receipt of the notification (e.g., at a user device), analysis of an attention state of a user can be initialized. Further, the opportune time period to deliver the notification can be detected based on the analysis of the attention state of the user. The opportune time period can be during a breakpoint or an influential context. The breakpoint is when the user has switched between tasks and lacks engagement with the tasks. The influential context is a particular context in which the user is available to attend to the notification. Moreover, the notification can be delivered during the opportune time period.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to help detect that a particular location determination process is unreliable and to help exclude location fixes established with that location determination process from being used as a basis to provide a location-based service. In accordance with the disclosure, a server may receive at least three location fixes for a mobile station, all corresponding with each other in time and each established with a different location determination process, and the server may determine that one of the location fixes is relatively far away from the other location fixes and therefore that the location determination process used to establish that location fix is unreliable. In response to determining that the location determination process is unreliable, the server or another entity may then exclude location fixes established with that location determination process from being used as a basis to provide a location-based service.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide adaptive monitoring of a wireless communication network. In one embodiment, a first set of network data generated for a wireless communication network is analyzed. The first set of network data is a set of historical network data for the wireless communication network. A baseline for at least one operating characteristic associated with the wireless communication network is determined based on the analyzing. A second set of network data generated for the wireless communication network is received. The second set of call detail records that has been received is utilized to determine if the at least one operating characteristic corresponds to the baseline. A set of monitoring operations performed by a network management system with respect to the wireless communication network is dynamically adjusted based on the at least one operating characteristic failing to correspond to the baseline.

Abstract: Real-time Short Message Service (SMS) messaging between an originating device such as a mobile device or Short Message Entity (SME) and a destination device such as a mobile device or SME. The real-time SMS messaging may be provided by initiating a call session between the originating device and the destination device, sending the SMS message within the call session, and terminating the call session prior to establishment of dedicated call traffic resources. In some embodiments, existing mobile protocol stacks may be employed by using existing voice call setup procedures to initiate the call session before sending the SMS message. In some embodiments, call session protocol stacks are extended to provide for an indication of a real-time SMS session type in the call session setup signaling. Real-time SMS messaging may be offered as a value added service, according to various embodiments. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
