Moreover, neither the short message center nor the receiver terminal needs to acquire the preset cryptogram in the gateway. Therefore, the present disclosure accurately detects a fake base station short message without requiring the user to perform additional operations.

Abstract: Reception and transmission from at least two sets of antenna ports on a high speed train are controlled, wherein the at least two sets of antenna ports are installed at different locations on the high speed train. This involves determining a velocity and the position of each of the antenna ports, and using these as a basis for determining a reception combining scheme and/or transmission scheme from the sets of antenna ports. Signals are transmitted and received from the sets of antenna ports in conformance with the determined reception combining and/or transmission scheme.

Abstract: A mobile device, via a roaming platform, can switch IMSIs (e.g., Home IMSI-1, Roamer IMSI-2, etc.) depending on a location of the mobile device. Upon switching IMSIs, the roaming platform can forward the update location to an HLR of the home network and roaming network. If the MMSC on the home network receives an MMS message, the MMSC on the home network may query the HLR for a current location. From the query, if the message recipient is roaming, the MMSC on the home network may communicate with the MMSC on the roaming network to deliver the message. As a result, the roaming network can handle the routing of the message without a data session routed back through the home network.

Abstract: An indoor positioning system and method that correlates map locations to respective wireless access point (AP) fingerprints, and wherein each wireless AP fingerprint is a plurality of wireless AP signal measurements associated with the correlated map location. The method includes receiving position-inference data associated with a user; determining a probable location inside the building based on the position-inference data; receiving wireless AP signal measurements detected by a wireless device associated with the user; associating the probable location with the wireless device based on the association between the position-inference data and the user of the wireless device; and updating the wireless AP fingerprint correlated to the probable location using the received wireless AP signal measurements. The method and system use crowd-sourcing to build and refine the wireless AP fingerprints.

Abstract: Various combinations of these teachings solve dual errors for a user equipment UE checking whether a private cell is allowed when handing over between serving and target cells, where the PLMN and/or list of EPLMNs of the serving and target cells may differ. The serving cell may send a one-bit indication that there is a change in a handover command or a system information SI6 message after which the UE may or may not refrain from reporting new cells until it performs a registration/location area update in the target cell. The target cell may trigger in the UE a registration update then provide the UE with the PLMN of the target cell. The serving cell can provide the PLMN of the target cell in a SI6 message or handover command, which the UE may use in place of or in addition to the PLMN/EPLMN of the serving cell when checking whether a private/closed subscriber group cell is allowed.

Abstract: A computer application for preventing a mobile device user from operating a mobile device while operating a motor vehicle. The computer application determines pertinent mobile devices within the motor vehicle. The application provides a user interface to each of the pertinent mobile devices for selecting a motor vehicle operator device. The application causes all pertinent mobile devices to move into a locked configuration if a motor vehicle operator device is not identified and causes non-operator devices to move into the unlocked configuration if a motor vehicle operator device is identified. The computer application causes the motor vehicle operator device to remain in the locked configuration if the motor vehicle is moving and causes the motor vehicle operator device to move into an unlocked configuration if the motor vehicle is not moving, or if the motor vehicle operator device is no longer one of the pertinent mobile devices.
