Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of providing enhanced content to a PSAP or other service center whereby when a 911 call is to be initiated, prior to the call or text communication being sent, the software application on the device contacts the cloud-based dynamic page service. The cloud-based dynamic page service receives event information, dynamically creates a page for the event along with a page identifier, and sends the page identifier to the software application of the initiating device. Then, the software application on the device initiates a 911 communication and includes the page identifier with the communication. In some cases, the page identifier may be sent as a separate communication.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for improving road safety use cases in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication environment. The techniques include assigning of a plurality of calculated/precalculated geofencing areas on a projected path of a responding emergency vehicle. With the assigned geofencing areas, a remote management network such as a V2X communications server may identify the V2X components (user equipment, traffic lights, vehicle embedded devices, etc.) and send notifications to the identified V2X components in each assigned geofencing area and at different timing periods. The identification of the V2X components and the sending of the notifications at different timing periods improve the traffic awareness between the V2X components in the V2X communication environment.

Abstract: Systems implement a software platform that creates dynamic user device pools that facilitate in-person engagement between and among platform users as well as the participation in local events and activities. The system includes a profile server that communicates with one or more user computing devices, such as smartphones. The provider server determines a pool area that can be predefined or determined based on a geometric area surrounding a user computing device. The provider server determines the user devices within the pool area and obtains profile data associated with the user devices where the profile data represents information personal to the platform users. The provider server applies user relationship information and privacy settings to filter the profile data before transmitting the profile data to user computing devices for display. Platform users communicate with other users in the pool area according to permissions settings that safely limit the types of permissible communications.

Abstract: Systems and methods define an enhanced charging function (CHF) in a communication network by creating a type of slice analysis functionality. For example, the system can access slice information from multiple Policy Control Functions (PCFs) and determine analytics for multiple slices associated with a subscriber user/device or group of subscriber users/devices. Using the enhanced CHF, the system can trigger slice level decisions at a higher level of the hierarchy based on information being aggregated for family devices/plans, category, quota, usage, or other groupings at the CHF instead of just at the individual slice level (e.g., similar to standard PCF functionality).
