  • Patent number: 11503659
    Abstract: A carrier network may provide connection establishment and routing optimization for Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF). For example, a Mobility Management Entity (MME) component may transmit, to a SCEF, a connection request to establish a session, the request using a first SCEF identifier (ID). The MME may receive, from a particular SCEF instance of the SCEF, an answer for the session, the answer including an identifier that is different from the first SCEF-ID, the identifier associated with the particular SCEF instance. The MME may transmit, to the particular SCEF instance, a subsequent message for the session, wherein a second SCEF-ID of the subsequent message is associated with the identifier and is different from the first SCEF-ID.

  • Patent number: 11483695
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a wireless communication method and a terminal device, to flexibly judge, according to configuration information of a network device, whether a PDCP layer entity needs to re-established, thereby preventing a re-establishment operation from being performed when the PDCP layer entity does not need to be re-established, and then reducing signaling overheads. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, configuration information that is used to perform mobility management on the terminal device and that is sent by a network device, where the configuration information includes indication information, and the indication information is used to configure a packet data convergence protocol PDCP layer entity; and determining, by the terminal device according to the indication information, whether to re-establish the PDCP layer entity.

  • Patent number: 11477615
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for correlating a person/event of interest with other persons based on mobile device usage/location. Personally identifiable information can be kept hidden/obfuscated to protect user privacy in the case of a person of interest, as well as persons correlated to that person/event of interest. Information can be anonymized and posted for sharing with mobile device service providers, such as cellular carriers. A remotely-executed and customizable correlation engine can identify those cellular subscribers that were near/in the same location as the user. A notification alert can be sent, e.g., via an Amber Alert-like system to cellular subscribers that have been in proximity to the user or known areas in which events-of-interest have occurred. Location-based datasets can be flattened into an optimized data structure reflecting preferred location logics, and an application programming interface (API) and obfuscation layer can be used based on the flattened datasets.

  • Patent number: 11461289
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems, and methods relate to a location query mechanism that can efficiently determine whether a target entity is located within a region of interest (ROI). At a high level, the location query mechanism can be configured to represent a ROI using one or more polygons. The location query mechanism can, in turn, divide (e.g., Jesse Hate) the one or more polygons into sub-polygons. Subsequently, the location query mechanism can use the sub-polygons to build an index system that can efficiently determine whether a particular location is within any of the sub-polygons. Therefore, when a computing device queries whether a particular location is within the region of interest, the location query mechanism can use the index system to determine whether the particular location is within any of the sub-polygons.

  • Patent number: 11432262
    Abstract: A terminal supporting dual-receive single-transmit dual-card dual-standby single-pass includes a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card interface and a second SIM card interface. The first SIM card interface is configured to communicate with a first SIM card, and the second SIM card interface is configured to communicate with a second SIM card. When the terminal is in a first communications connection, the terminal receives a paging request for setting up a second communications connection. When the terminal receives the paging request for the second communications connection, if the terminal has a to-be-sent voice packet of the first communications connection, the terminal delays responding to the paging request for setting up the second communications connection, or if the terminal has no to-be-sent voice packet of the first communications connection, the terminal responds to the paging request for setting up the second communications connection.
