Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing an emergency services address management system for mobile devices. A mobile device may implement “voice over Wi-Fi” or otherwise communicate via wireless networks that do not provide address or location data. An emergency services address management system may associate E911 addresses with individual access points of the wireless networks, and may provide the associated E911 address instead of a default E911 address (which may be a home or billing address that is relatively distant from the user's current location) when a user of the mobile device makes a voice call to an emergency service. The system may identify access points for which an E911 address is not known, and may obtain or generate an E911 address using information from various sources, including the user, satellite-based or cellular-based location services, or other mobile devices that have accessed the wireless network via the access point.

Abstract: Endpoints, such as telephones, on a communication network may request an interactive communication with another endpoint. While the request is being processed, the calling endpoint may receive a call from the called endpoint. Systems and methods are provided that automatically allow one endpoint to accept the incoming call, such as by joining the two calls, and terminating their outbound call. As a result, endpoints attempting to call each other may be connected with a single call without requiring any endpoint to be routed to voicemail due to their called endpoint being busy. Additionally, arbitration rules may be provided to resolve any “race condition” where both endpoints would otherwise each accept or each decline their incoming call.

The device determines, based on a set of measured barometric pressures identified by the sensor data, a set of relative altitudes that identify altitudes of the group of UEs relative to each other. The device determines, based on at least a portion of the sensor data and relative altitude data that identifies the set of relative altitudes, and for each UE of the group of UEs, a floor on which the UE is located. The device causes, based on determining respective floors on which the UEs of the group of UEs are located, a data structure to store a mapping of each UE to the respective floors. The device performs one or more actions based on the mapping.

Abstract: In multicarrier networks mobile devices can be distributed amongst carriers based on different criteria. However, prioritization may cause certain devices to end up on a carrier that is not optimal for the network. When there is a deployment of different types of cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, etc.), the cells can use the same frequency. Consequently, a priority value contained within a system information broadcast message can override the mobile default cell transition procedures and thus select a neighboring cell based on additional criteria. Thus, small cells can be deployed to offload traffic from macro cells in spite of the small cells and macro cells operating in the same frequency band.
