Abstract: A system and method for disabling distracting apps on a driver's personal devices while allowing passengers travelling in the same vehicle to have full use of their personal devices. The system works by first identifying all the personal devices that are in the vehicle and then establishing a loose mesh network between those devices. Once the mesh network is established, the system identifies which of the personal devices is associated with the driver, and ensures that any distracting apps on the driver's personal device are disabled, while allowing full functionality for any passenger's personal devices.

Abstract: User circuitry within a wireless User Equipment (“UE”) in need of a network slice or a handoff between cells identifies a slice service type. The user circuitry processes an uplink interference threshold of a target cell based on the slice service type.

The user circuitry transfers a service request for a wireless data service having the slice service type over the preferred operating frequency band to network circuitry. The network circuitry wirelessly exchanges data with a wireless access node associated with the target cell over the preferred operating frequency band to establish a packet data unit session comprising the slice service type.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein is directed towards a technology that increases the reliability of transmitting information, by propagating received information in a location-controlled and route managed multiple-stage chain communication in a wireless communication system. A transmitting device transmits a broadcast or group-cast communication message in conjunction with transmitter and receiver location data (e.g., absolute or quantized coordinates). An intermediate device that receives the communication message determines a communication path based on the received location data, and determines whether the intermediate device is within the communication path based on its own location. Only intermediate devices that are within the communications path, and that otherwise satisfy retransmission policy, perform the retransmission.

Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling access for non-emergency voice calls are described. A UE operates in a network supporting voice services via a multitude of RATs. The UE attempts to access the network via a first RAT offering voice services and data services. If the UE does not receive a response from the network within a first time period, the UE re-attempts the access to the network via the first RAT. If the number of access attempts for which the UE does not receive a response is at least a threshold value, the UE refrains during a second time period from further access attempts via the first RAT for the purpose of receiving data services, and continues to attempt access via the first or second RAT for the purpose of receiving voice services.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a location determination system that includes acoustic transmitting devices (104), location tags (112), and a wireless mesh network (106), where the wireless mesh network uses battery-powered devices. A location tag receives acoustic signals (e.g., ultrasound signals) from an acoustic transmitting device.

By analyzing the observed clock pairings, a best fit between the clock pairings may be determined. After selecting a reference clock, an acoustic transmission schedule may be propagated to the respective acoustic transmitting device.
