Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) receives a set of Random Access preambles, determines its UAV status, and selects a Random Access preamble from the set of Random Access preambles. In some cases, the set of Random Access preambles are allocated for use by UAVs and are common to a plurality of neighboring cells. The UAV transmits the selected Random Access preamble to multiple neighboring cells. One of the neighboring cells that received the selected Random Access preamble transmits a Random Access Response to the UAV. The UAV determines which cell sent the Random Access Response, reselects to the cell that sent the Random Access Response, and transmits a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Establishment Request to the reselected cell. Upon completion of a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure, the reselected cell becomes the serving cell for the UAV.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a method of carrying out a handover process. After receiving a handover message (HOM(13)) that indicates the initiation of the handover process with respect to a moving node (13), a handover control node (20) addresses its next token (T(21)) to the moving node (13) and not to its formerly allocated downstream node (21) in its original wireless token ring system (2). In case that the moving node (13) receives said token (T(21)) and sends thereafter an acknowledgement to the handover control node (20) and an own token (T) to its allocated downstream node (21) in the enlarged wireless token ring system (2), the handover process is deemed to be completed and the moving node (13) forms the newly allocated downstream node to the handover control node (20) in the enlarged wireless token ring system (2).

Abstract: A Fifth Generation Core (5GC) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network authenticates a wireless User Equipment (UE) for LTE data service using a 5GC Subscriber Concealed Identifier (SUCI). A Mobility Management Entity (MME) receives the 5GC SUCI and transfers the 5GC SUCI to a 5GC authentication system. The 5GC authentication system determines a 5GC Subscriber Permanent Identifier (SUPI) and authentication vector based on the 5GC SUCI. The 5GC authentication system transfers the 5GC SUPI and the 5GC authentication vector to the MME. The MME exchanges 5GC authentication data with the UE. The MME authenticates the UE based on the 5GC authentication vector and the 5GC authentication data. In response to the 5GC authentication, the MME initiates the LTE data service for the UE based on the 5GC SUPI.

Abstract: In cell-based wireless network systems supporting subscriber device communication, any movement of a cell's antenna may interrupt service. As cell sizes decrease and transmission frequencies increase, especially with 5G systems, cell transceivers that were once tower or building based are being mounted on smaller structures including the strand of a wired network infrastructure. However, smaller structures may be subject to movement due to weather, nearby traffic, surf, or other conditions. A cell apparatus, particularly one mounted on a structure subject to movement may include a motion detector to report motion of the cell apparatus. A wired or wireless network channel apart from the wireless network system may be used to transport movement data to a network service center or performance analysis server.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for wireless beacon devices for use in tracking user locations during group travel. A user may take a trip on a vehicle, such as a bus, train, cruise ship, or other large travel vehicle. The users may disembark the vehicle in order to visit a location but plan to travel further on the vehicle. Thus, when the vehicle is attempting to leave the location where the users have left the vehicle, the vehicle may be required to again account for each passenger. The vehicle may utilize a wireless beacon located near an entrance and/or onboard the vehicle to account for each passenger. The wireless beacon may connect to a communication device of each user when the communication device is in proximity to the wireless beacon and, thus, inform the vehicle's operator that each user in located on the vehicle.
