Abstract: The disclosed system provides a facility to communicate to an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network an indication of mobility events occurring in a telecommunications access network. A mobile device connects to a first base station (e.g., an “eNodeB”) and registers on an IMS network. A component in the IMS network, such as a telephone application server (TAS), stores the first identifier. In addition, the TAS creates or modifies a call detail record (CDR) to indicate that the mobile phone is connected to the base station. After a handover occurs from the first base station to a second base station, the mobile device transmits to the IMS network a second identifier that uniquely identifies the second base station. The mobile device transmits the identifier of the second base station to the TAS within the IMS network via, e.g. an XCAP PUT or POST request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may support selection of positioning reference signal (PRS) occasions. For example, a UE may identify a first pair of PRS occasions for monitoring a PRS at a first frequency and a second pair of PRS occasions for monitoring a PRS at a second frequency and occurring after the first pair of PRS occasions. The UE may measure a first PRS of the first pair of PRS occasions at the first frequency, and then measure a first PRS of the second pair of PRS occasions at the second frequency. The UE may then measure a second PRS of the first pair of PRS occasions at the first frequency after measuring the first PRS of the second pair of PRS occasions at the second frequency.

The ancillary source device provides an indication of a selection of one of the graphical menu options. In response to the indication, a call transfer for the incoming call is implemented.
