The node also includes a processor to implement a state machine that transitions, based on the one or more configuration parameters, between an enable state in which the node supports wireless connectivity in the unlicensed frequency band, a disable state in which the node does not support wireless connectivity in the unlicensed frequency band, and a flywheel state in which the node supports wireless connectivity in the unlicensed frequency band for a predetermined time interval before transitioning to the disable state.

Abstract: In one particular aspect, a portable computing device (e.g., a tablet or smartphone) senses audio and/or image content from a user's environment, and initiates one or more recognition agents (e.g., performing image watermark recognition, image recognition, object recognition, facial recognition, barcode recognition, optical character recognition, audio watermark recognition, speech recognition, speaker recognition, or music recognition). Resource allocation to a recognition agent can be varied based on (a) progress of the recognition agent to achieve its recognition goal, and (b) user interest data indicating user interest in the output of the recognition agent. A second candidate recognition agent can be evaluated for possible launch, based on a relevance score, and a cost score. In some embodiments, the device adapts its operation to changing context, by terminating a first recognition agent in favor of a second recognition agent, without express user instruction to do so.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method of establishing a connection between user equipment and a base station of a radio network, wherein connection parameters used to establish a first connection between the user equipment and the base station are stored in a memory of the user equipment and in a memory of the base station prior to the release of the first connection. The method comprises comparing the stored connection parameters with connection parameters to be used to establish a second connection between the user equipment and the base station, generating a connection establishment request comprising the connection parameters to be used for establishing the second connection that differ from the stored connection parameters, and transmitting the connection establishment request to the base station.

Abstract: A presence service can be provided by an access point 101 serving a small cell 100 by rejecting a request for registration from a user equipment 103 after acquiring its IMSI and sending the IMSI to a presence database 105. The user equipment determines if the cell is a presence cell by comparing the cell's location area code (LAC) with LACs stored in a list and looking for a match. It the cell is a presence cell then the user equipment, rather than placing the LAC in a forbidden list, re-tries registration again but only after a pre-set time period of 5-10 minutes has elapsed. This has the advantage that a presence service can be notified of subscribers who linger in a particular area or return to that area at regular intervals.

Abstract: Various user interfaces and other technologies for interacting with devices that support multiple communication lines can be implemented. Scenarios providing separate communications lines, such as voice over internet protocol (VOIP), social network communications, and the like can be supported. For example, communication-line-separated and communication-line-aggregated user interface paradigms can be supported. Intelligent selection of an appropriate paradigm can support user preferences, conversation user interfaces, and the like. Other features such as communication line defaults can help users deal with multiple communication line scenarios. A consistent, compact user interface for switching communication lines can be supported. Users can interact with their devices more efficiently and with less frustration. A wide variety of use scenarios are supported.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish a dynamic coverage enhancement (CE) configuration and then autonomously transition from one CE level to another while in idle mode. The network may blindly detect the CE change during a paging procedure. For example, a mobility management entity (MME) may store dynamic CE information, and it may provide the dynamic CE information to base stations when the UE is paged. In some cases, the base stations may autonomously retransmit paging messages at different CE levels based on the dynamic CE information. In other examples, the MME may direct the base station to retransmit at different CE levels.

Abstract: A manner of managing UE (user equipment) access to a core network via an access network. The access network may be a trusted or un-trusted network according to 3GPP protocols, and the core network may be or include an EPC. When a UE attempts access, a gateway node determines whether the UE will be authorized and responds accordingly. At least when the UE access request is rejected, a response is sent containing a backoff timer value. The backoff timer value may be based on, for example, the cause of the rejection or the number of attempts made by that UE or both. When the UE receives the response, the UE sets a backoff timer accordingly and preferably does not reattempt access until the backoff timer has expired. In some instances, the UE may be permitted to reattempt access immediately; in others, the UE may be directed not to reattempt access at all.

In a cell that uses at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP)-based cell selection or RSRP-based cell reselection, the wireless communication device may determine an offset RSRP by applying an offset to a measured RSRP if a signal quality of communications from a serving base station of the cell fails to satisfy a signal quality threshold. The UE may initiate at least one of a cell selection or cell reselection operation based on the offset RSRP.
