Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for dynamically adapting category-specific radio coverage area of a mobile network using information received from corresponding common-category user equipment (UE) active within the mobile network indicative of UE capability, UE location, and UE quality of service (QoS) such that category-specific service edge locations and corresponding category-specific coverage gaps therebetween may be determined and automatically mitigated by optimizing or augmenting deployed network equipment.

Abstract: A system described herein may identify proximity events using geofencing capabilities of user equipment (“UE”) such as mobile phones. The UE may interact with a mobile client manager (“MCM”) to identify landmarks (or “locations of interest”) near the UE. The UE may identify a set of local landmarks that are nearest to the UE. The UE may utilize geofence-based location services to reduce power consumption when outside geofences associated with local landmarks. If the UE enters a geofence associated with a local landmark, the UE may utilize granular location services for increased accuracy. The UE may notify the MCM when the UE “dwells” near a given landmark by entering the geofence associated with the landmark but does not approach a threshold distance of the landmark. The UE may cease utilizing granular location services when dwelling, and may instead use location services based on push messages received from the MCM.

The example embodiment may also involve establishing, by the UAV, a backhaul link to a data network. The example embodiment may also involve transmitting, by the UAV, a notification to a client device served by the wireless coverage area, where the notification indicates that the UAV is a default gateway for the wireless coverage area.

Abstract: A method for Procedure Transaction Identity (PTI) error handling on 5G Session Management (5GSM) procedures is proposed. If a User Equipment (UE) receives a PDU SESSION AUTHENTICATION COMMAND or PDU SESSION AUTHENTICATION RESULT message in which the PTI value is an assigned value, the UE transmits a 5GSM STATUS message including 5GSM cause #81 “invalid PTI value”. If the UE receives a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT or REJECT message, a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND or REJECT message, or a PDU SESSION RELEASE COMMAND or REJECT message in which the PTI value is an unassigned value, the UE ignores the received message. If the UE receives any 5GSM message in which the PTI value is a reserved value, the UE ignores the received 5GSM message.

Abstract: A communication system and method are provided for prioritizing the collection of evidence leads. Geographic mass messaging notifications are sent out alerting to an incident in conjunction with a request for incident information. Responding devices are prioritized based on device parameter information. The prioritization enables transient devices to be provided with a higher priority than non-transient devices. The assigned priority facilitates investigative follow-up of a plurality of evidence leads prior to the review of actual data content of each lead.

Abstract: A mobile edge computing (MEC) architecture can facilitate utilization of virtual multi-point non-internet protocol (IP) connections in radio access networks (RAN). Thus, the same mobile device can be addressed with multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The MEC can provide service continuity in multi-access technologies using virtual session, and the MEC can terminate a main session between a core network and the MEC, for the mobile device, via a single IP address, Based on the services and the states of the access network in the multi-access environment, the MEC can dynamically select the RAT and access point as the target to deliver the service over the RAN.

Abstract: Connecting user equipment (UE) to an application can be managed based on UE movement and location. During data session between UE and application, a communication management component (CMC) associated with anchor network component (ANC) or serving network component (SNC) determines UE location, and connects UE to the ANC and SNC, which enables access of the application via a data network associated with ANC. As UE moves, CMC tracks UE movement and communication conditions. If, when UE is at second location, a communication condition breaches threshold level, CMC determines whether interruption of the data session is permitted. If not, CMC determines whether there is a local SNC in proximity to second location. If there is, CMC can switch UE from SNC to local SNC, which can access local application content via local data network associated with application. If interruption permitted, UE deactivates and reactivates to connect to local ANC.

Abstract: A disclosed mobile computing device is configured to establish a connection with a remote computing device, by providing login information associated with a previously-established user account on the remote computing device, and to receive a connection request from a client device. The connection request is based on connection information received from the client device or from the remote computing device, the connection information including location information of the client device. The mobile computing device then determines whether the location of the client device is within a coverage area associated with the mobile computing device and establishes a connection with the client device when the location of the client device is determined to be within the coverage area. The mobile computing device is configured to receive emergency requests from the client device and to be operated by a police officer, firefighter, paramedic, or other first responder who provides emergency response services.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a message transmission method and apparatus, a terminal, and a base station. In the method, a symbol or symbol group may be used as a granularity to select a plurality of symbols or symbol groups from one or more slots and then allocate the plurality of symbols or symbol groups to a same terminal for transmitting data. The plurality of symbols or symbol groups may be used for uplink data scheduling or may be used for downlink data scheduling. Therefore, a slot resource is allocated at a small granularity, so that a time domain resource is more flexibly allocated, and the slot resource is more fully utilized. This helps improve message transmission efficiency, thereby expanding a coverage area.
