Abstract: A method for verifying whether a candidate peer functions as a mesh gate is performed by a network device in a mesh basic service set including the candidate peer. The method includes: providing a record indicates that the candidate peer doesn't function as the mesh gate, when the network device receives a notification from the candidate peer indicating that the candidate peer now functions as the mesh gate, having the network device update the record and start a counting process and verifying whether the candidate peer continues functioning as the mesh gate till the end of the counting process; when the network device doesn't receive an updated notification from the candidate peer indicating that the candidate functions as the mesh gate before the end of the counting process, having the network device send a packet to the candidate peer to verify whether the candidate peer functions as the mesh gate.

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.

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 identifies a preferred operating frequency band based on the slice service type and the uplink interference threshold of the target cell. 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.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems and methods for processing remotely at a remote server or cloud platform data relating to emergency communications (phone calls, text messages, etc.) received by Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), in particular emergency communications received and handled by emergency communication handling systems at the PSAP which support serial communication and have no network connectivity. To overcome this limitation, one or more serial-to-Internet Protocol (IP) gateways are deployed in the PSAP to: (a) receive the incident data from the emergency communication handling systems and encapsulate the incident data in its raw form in IP packets, and (b) transmit the IP packets to the remote processing system. The remote processing system then parses the incident data according to parsing rule(s) applicable for the PSAP from which the incident data is received, format the incident data and process the formatted data to optimize communication handling operation of the PSAPs.
