Abstract: A system and method for creating a synchronized dynamic geolocation area and augmenting a view of the synchronized dynamic geolocation area with content based on one or more display parameters may be provided. An initiating user may generate a dynamic geolocation area that may track the location of the initiating user as the initiating user moves, and indicate content to associate with the geolocation area and one or more display parameters to associate with the content. A recipient user may be provided with an augmented view of the geolocation area based on the content and the display parameters. Further, a location of the recipient user may be synchronized with the geolocation area, such that as the recipient user or the geolocation area move, the augmented view may be modified to account for the movement.

Abstract: A system to effectuate passive check-in with respect to a user's mobile device is described. A server system may be configured to receive communications from a GPS-enabled mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone), extract a stream of locations from the received communications, and use the location information to determine whether a boundary-crossing event has occurred with respect to the mobile device. In response to detecting a boundary-crossing event, the server may communicate a message, such as a recommendation, to the mobile device.

Abstract: A device receives, from a transaction device, transaction data associated with a transaction performed by a user, and receives first location data indicating a location of a mobile user device. The device receives, from a stationary user device, browser data associated with online activity of the user, and determines, based on the browser data, second location data indicating a location of the stationary user device. The device determines, based on the transaction data, third location data indicating a location of the transaction device, and assigns weights and time stamps to the first, second, and third location data. The device aggregates the first, second, and third location data, based on the weights and the time stamps, to generate aggregated location data. The device processes the aggregated location data, with a model, to predict a particular location of the user, and performs actions based on the particular location.

Abstract: Both precoded sounding reference signals (SRS) and unprecoded SRS are transmitted from a UE to an eNB. The UE may transmit both in the same subframe using either TDM or FDM. Or the UE may transmit each in different subframes from each other. The eNB uses some combination of the precoded SRS and the unprecoded SRS in scheduling resources for the UE. The eNB may also provide instruction to the UE for PUSCH precoding for data transmission. The eNB may signal the UE to use the same precoding as for the precoded SRS. The eNB may instead signal the UE to use different precoding by including the precoding information or delta information between the precoding used for the precoded SRS and the selected precoding for the PUSCH data.

Abstract: A network load traffic management component is communicatively coupled to a radio access network (RAN). The network load traffic management component includes a subscriber scoring module and a subscriber scoring database that operates on a server processor and a server memory. The network load traffic management component identifies at least one network event corresponding to a RAN control plane. The network load traffic management component monitors each network event for a session time, in which each session time is associated with each subscriber interacting with the RAN. The network load traffic management component, repeatedly, determines a performance measurement for each network event associated with each session time. The performance measurement for each network event is recorded. A subscriber score is generated based on the performance measurements for each network event. A predictive indicator score is generated based on subscriber scores and behavioral analytics associated with each subscriber.
