Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present specification, a method for reporting performance of a terminal in a mobile communication system includes the steps of: receiving a request for performance reporting from a base station; determining an indicator of whether a delay time related operation that the terminal supports is in correspondence with the request which corresponds to a pre-set condition; and transmitting a message including the determined indicator to the base station. According to one aspect of the present specification, the size of the performance reporting message is minimized in reporting the performance of the terminal.

Abstract: An enterprise system configures access point devices at an enterprise location to communicate with a location determination system. The location determination system receives wireless signal attributes of user computing devices broadcasting Wi-Fi signal data at the enterprise location from one or more access point devices. For a particular time window, the location determination system determines aggregated features of received wireless signal data across all access point devices, and classifies each of the user computing devices as moving or stationary by applying the wireless signal data to a model. For each of the user computing devices determined to be moving, the location determination system calculates a respective position of the user computing device based on the wireless signal data. For each of the user computing devices determined to be stationary, the location determination system does not calculate a respective position of the respective user computing device.

Abstract: Distance estimation and authentication are provided for Bluetooth systems and devices. Proximity detection requests are transmitted using a transceiver of a tracking device. Reply messages are received from a tracked device. Designated delay values are generated, and round trip times associated with the reply messages are determined based, at least in part, on the designated delay values and time stamps associated with the reply messages. An authenticity metric associated with the tracked device is generated based, at least in part, on the round trip times.

Abstract: Systems and methods enable remote machine-to-machine device SIM profile management without requiring a mobile terminated SMS wake-up message. A network device stores multiple profile orders for secure elements of end devices and receives an unsolicited profile query from a secure element of an end device. The secure element includes a pre-loaded power-on connection application that automatically initiates an HTTP connection with the network device when the end device is powered on or wakes up from a sleep mode, and the unsolicited profile query includes a secure element identifier. The network device conducts a search to match the secure element identifier from the unsolicited profile query with one of the multiple profile orders for the secure elements and sends profile action instructions to the secure element when there is a match between the secure element identifier from the unsolicited profile query and the one of the multiple profile orders.

Abstract: A method of direction finding (DF) positioning in a wireless location area network (WLAN) is proposed. A multiple antenna IEEE 802.11 transmitting device can transmit signal preamble containing multiple Long Training Field (LTF) symbols in a radio frame from multiple antennas simultaneously, which allows a receiving device to resolve multiple DF sounding signals transmitted from the multiple antennas. As a result, angle of departure (AoD) of the transmitting device can be estimated by using the multiple resolved DF sounding signals from each antenna for DF positioning purpose.
