Abstract: In various embodiments, crowd sourcing techniques are provided to enable RTT-based positioning of UE. To address issues of discovering which beacons (e.g., Wi-Fi APs, cellular base stations, BLE transmitters, etc.) support measurement of RTT (e.g., according to IEEE 802.11mc, 3GPP Release 16, etc.), beacon RTT capabilities may be crowd-sourced from UE and maintained by a cloud-based location platform in a beacon database (or more specifically, a RTT database portion thereof). To address the issue of determining physical antenna positions, RTT measurements may be crowd-sourced from UE for those beacons that are RTT capable, and used by a trilateration algorithm (e.g., a WLS multilateration algorithm) to determine physical antenna positions, which also may be maintained in the beacon database. Accuracy of the trilateration may be enhanced by obtaining raw GNSS measurements (e.g., pseudoranges) from the UE, and performing a cloud-based RTK GNSS position fix for the UE.

Abstract: A system dynamic discovery of MEC applications is disclosed here. A user device dynamically selects a communication network by comparing existing network selection parameters present in the user device as part of a profile with network selection parameters that are received from a communication network infrastructure when the user device with a profile enters the MEC enabled premises. The authentication server authenticates a secure connection with the user device, and uses one or more authentication protocols associated with the profile. The CMP generates an authorization token based on the profile, and accesses the MEC applications using the authorization token on behalf of the user device via a first interface. The second interface verifies the received authorization token. The CMP grants access to the user device to access the communication network and manages the MEC applications of the service provider on behalf of the user device.

Abstract: A wireless communication system delivers a data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). A network controller exchanges UE signaling with the wireless UE and transfers UE information to a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The NEF transfers network information that indicates Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels and cost levels for the UE to a user data system. The NEF receives user selections from the user data system that indicate a selected QoS level and a selected cost level. The NEF indicates the selected QoS level to the network controller. The NEF indicates the selected cost level to a Charging Function (CHF). The network controller directs network elements to transfer UE data for the UE using the selected QoS level. The network elements transfer the user data for the UE using the selected QoS level. The CHF generates charging data for the UE based on the selected cost level.
