Abstract: A wireless telecommunication system comprises a base station and a terminal device (UE). The UE is configured to determine its mobility status and an associated reliability. The UE is configured to convey an indication of the mobility status and the reliability to the base station. The base station may then configure the UE for operation within the wireless telecommunications system in a manner that takes account of both the mobility status and the reliability for the mobility status. This can help optimise configuration settings for the UE which depend on device mobility.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing wireless communication between an RF communication device and remotely located RF base station devices or RF repeater devices to establish a wireless connection with a wireless carrier authorized to communicate with one or more wireless user devices (UEs) in communication with the RF communication device. The RF communication devices may employ separate wireless communication channels to communicate with one or more remote RF base station devices, remote RF repeater devices, remote network management applications, and local UEs. An RF communication device may employ a map to select a currently available RF base station device or an RF repeater device to establish a wireless connection between an authorized wireless carrier and the one or more local UEs in communication with the RF communication device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing an emergency call reported to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by a user of a first communication device can include an Emergency Service Routing Proxy (ESRP) performing a search operation to track location data of the first communication device in response to receiving an emergency callback request from the PSAP that has received an emergency call from a first communication device. The callback request can be forwarded to a most appropriate gateway of a carrier according to the first communication device's location data. An SIP INVITE request comprising a new header including a request for forking SMS for initiating, at the carrier a procedure for retrieving mobile network addresses of communication devices that are co-located to the first communication device can be sent in response to the callback request not being answered by the first communication device.

Abstract: A core provider predicts that a device will enter an area of poor coverage by a wireless network provider. Based on the prediction, one or more rules are applied to prioritize data traffic to be received prior to entering the area of poor coverage. The prediction that the device will enter the area of poor coverage may be based on cell coverage data received from the wireless network provider, connection quality data received from other devices, a location of the device, a speed of the device, a direction of the device, or any suitable combination thereof. A route of the device may be changed to avoid or minimize an amount of time in the area of poor coverage. As another alternative, the device may be switched from the wireless network provider to another wireless network with better coverage.

Abstract: A location-aware electronic device is provided. The electronic device trains feature extraction layers, reconstruction layers, and classification layers. The training may be based on a reconstruction loss and/or a clustering loss. The electronic device processes a fingerprint to obtain an augmented fingerprint using randomization based on statistics of the fingerprint. The feature extraction layers provide feature data to both the reconstruction layers and the classification layers. The classification layers operate on the codes to obtain an estimated location label. An application processor operates on the estimated location label to provide a location-aware application result to a person.

Abstract: A wireless telecommunication system comprises a base station and a terminal device (UE). The UE is configured to determine its mobility status and an associated reliability, e.g. an indication of the extent to which the UE is moving and the confidence in this determination. In some cases the reliability may be based on how the UE determined its mobility status. For example, if the UE determined itself to be of relatively low mobility because it has an internal configuration setting indicating it is deployed in a fixed position, the reliability of this mobility status may be considered to be greater than if the UE determined itself to be of relatively low mobility because it has not recently undergone many base station handovers. The UE is configured to convey an indication of the mobility status and the reliability to the base station.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for adjusting a time period to delay entering a power save mode (leak guard) for wireless communications. In one aspect, a wireless communication device may adjust a time period to delay entering a power save mode. The time period is associated with the wireless communication device remaining awake to prevent an access point from transmitting to the wireless communication device while the wireless communication device is in the power save mode. The wireless communication device also may provide, to the AP, an indication that the wireless communication device is entering a power save mode, and the wireless communication device may enter the power save mode. Entering the power save mode is at least the adjusted time period after providing the indication to the AP.

Abstract: The minimization of the amount of power consumed by an electronic device in acquiring or maintaining network connectivity with a network may extend the battery life of the electronic device. When the electronic device has established a communication connection with a wireless access point, the electronic device cycles a network interface controller of the electronic device between a power on state and a power off state without terminating the communication connection. Accordingly, the electronic device powers on a main processor of the electronic device when the network interface controller detects a beacon during the power on state that indicates the wireless access point has a buffered data frame for the electronic device.
