Abstract: A transient virtual chatroom is implemented by which unknown drivers can temporarily engage in conversation while driving. The chatrooms are dynamically generated among two or more drivers based on a variety of factors, including the distance between the drivers, the direction in which cars are driving, the roads on which the cars are on, the speed of vehicles, and typical scenarios that indicate a desire for two or more drivers to engage in conversation. Such transient chatrooms can increase safety by enabling drivers to understand other drivers' intentions. For example, drivers can directly tell someone who can go first at a stop sign, which direction the driver is trying to go in, whether there is an emergency (e.g., personal or with their vehicle), whether a driver is changing lanes, notify a user of merging from an on-ramp, etc.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may improve an emergency call establishment procedure by enabling a UE to transmit emergency register messages more efficiently. In one aspect, a UE transmits, to a network entity, a request to set up an ePDN. The UE receives, from the network entity, a response to the request comprising a set of multiple P-CSCF addresses. The UE transmits, to the network entity, a registering message to each of the multiple P-CSCF addresses simultaneously. The UE receives, from the network entity, at least one acceptance message from at least one of the set of multiple P-CSCF addresses in response to the registering message. The UE transmits, to the network entity, an invitation message to a P-CSCF address from which an acceptance message is received to establish an emergency call connection.

Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for enforcing user telecommunication privileges on a per-schedule basis are provided. Enterprise members may have a schedule associated therewith that defines scheduled locations of the users. Telecommunication service privileges may be coordinated with the users' schedules such that communication services are disabled at particular times based on the users' schedules.
