Abstract: A waiting situation of users is more accurately known. A waiting situation managing device 10 according to the present disclosure includes: a position information acquiring unit 11 configured to acquire position information about a person within a monitored area; and a waiting person specifying unit 12 configured to judge a person who stays in a waiting area within the monitored area, as a waiting person, and to further judge a person who stays in a predetermined range from the person judged as the waiting person, as a waiting person. The waiting person specifying unit 12 repeatedly performs the judgement of the waiting person until the person who stays in the predetermined range from the person judged as the waiting person is not found.

Abstract: A wireless network including user equipment (UE) and base stations is configured to perform position determination with low latency and high availability within the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) framework. For example, the UE may be integrated as a sensor in a motion control system or similar applications. The UE and base stations are synchronized with the TSN clock, and are configured to perform positioning measurements at a specific time point within the TSN framework. The time point, for example, may be a global sampling point, at which all sensor nodes in the TSN framework perform position measurements. A location server may be provided with the positioning measurements or a position estimate from the UE and provide the position estimate to an external client, such as a motion controller in a motion control system.

Abstract: A new user seeking a base station to join must first implement a grueling series of complex steps, which may be especially challenging for the majority of devices expected in next-generation 5G and 6G systems. If the user has a real emergency, such as an imminent traffic collision, then the time wasted in locating (“discovering”) a nearby base station and finally logging on may make the difference between life and death. Disclosed herein are procedures for new users to transmit a “hailing” message on an allocated frequency that multiple base stations continuously monitor. The base stations can then reply at a standard amplitude, so that the new user can determine which base station is closer (or provides the best signal reception) according to the received amplitude. In addition, the reply messages can include a characteristic frequency of the replying base station, such as its entry frequency.

Abstract: A vehicle may include a notification type determination device configured to identify a type of a text message received through a communication terminal and determining a notification type of the text message when the type of the text message is a public warning text, a notification content determination device configured to analyze a text string of the text message and determine notification content associated with the text message when the type of the text message is the public warning text, and an output device configured to output a notification to a passenger depending on the notification type and the notification content.

Abstract: In a microcell environment, access points with a probe-if-assigned setting configured to delay probe responses to probe requests is registered and managed by a Wi-Fi controller. Probe requests are received and forwarded from at least two of the plurality of access points from a specific station attempting to connect to the Wi-Fi communication network. A Wi-Fi assignment module receives RSSI measurements from the at least two access points with respect to the specific access point, during a delay from the probe-if-assigned setting. A specific access point is assigned to the specific station for sending a probe response once a delay period expires.

Abstract: A device implementing a system for missed communication notification may include at least one processor configured to receive, from a server over a first communication channel, a message indicating that another device initiated a communication with the device over a second communication channel at a particular time. The at least one processor may be further configured to determine, by the device, whether the communication was established with the other device over the second communication channel at the particular time. The at least one processor may be further configured to provide, for display, an indication of the message based at least in part on a determination that the communication initiated by the other device was not established over the second communication channel at the particular time.

Abstract: Methods and systems for localization within an environment include determining a topology estimate of nodes located in a dynamic indoor environment, based on distances measured between the nodes. Rigid k-core sub-graphs of the topology estimate are generated to determine relative localizations of the nodes. Relative localizations are transformed into absolute localizations to generate a map of positions of the nodes within the environment. A feature of the map is deployed to a device in the environment.

Abstract: A method and a call routing system (CRS) are provided for routing an incoming call made to one of multiple numbers of a user to a call receiving client application (CRCA) deployed on one or more user devices when the called number is not reachable. The CRS, in communication with the CRCA deployed on one or more user devices, sets up a user account using one or more of the user's multiple numbers. The CRS detects availability of the CRCA on one or more user devices over a data network to accept an incoming call. The CRS receives the incoming call made to one of the numbers, when the called number is not reachable. The CRS routes the incoming call to the CRCA on one or more user devices over the data network on detecting the availability of the CRCA on one or more user devices over the data network.

Abstract: A messaging system for both generating and receiving message data, which breaks up a sent message and displays it as a time sequence of message parts on the receiving user's device. Breaks in the sent message are defined by delimiters, which are inserted into the message data by the user on the generate device and are detected by the receiving device. Delimiters or other part of the message data determine the time period for each part of the message. The first part of the message is displayed on the receiving user's device for the time period associated with that part. Once the time period for the first message part has expired, the next message part is displayed in addition to the preceding part. This continues until the whole sent message is displayed, thus creating a timeline of message parts for the receiving user.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting an early data transmission (EDT) in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state is provided. The current gNB receives a resume request message including uplink (UL) data from the wireless device, and transmits a logical channel identifier (LCID) for the UL data to the last serving gNB.

The current gNB forwards the UL data to a core network via the last serving gNB based on the UL forwarding UP TNL information.
