Abstract: Certain cellular communication systems may use beamforming to create distinct signal beams in different radial directions relative to a base station. Upon receiving a request for the location of a mobile device, a position calculation function is used to calculate the location of the mobile device based on multiple types of location-related data. The location-related data may indicate the direction of the directional signal beam that is currently being used for communications between the mobile device and a base station. The direction may be used in conjunction with other location-related data, such as distance information, to estimate the location of the mobile device.

Abstract: This invention is a system and method for implementing a VoLTE and circuit switched voice and SMS interworking function to provide voice and SMS service to roaming mobile devices at visiting network based on VoLTE roaming and ‘SMS over SGs’ towards VPLMN, and circuit-switched voice and SMS towards HPLMN. The interworking function enables and redirects IMS traffic at VPLMN towards a hosted IMS core with voice connectivity to PSTN via MGCF and MGW. The interworking function also performs circuit-switched location-update registration at HLR at HPLMN for receiving mobile-terminated voice calls and SMS.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe authentication of a user equipment (UE) in a network. It can be determined, by the UE, to access a discovered network for wireless communications, and based on a service provider associated with the discovered network, to use a modified universal subscriber identity module (USIM) subscription stored in the UE for authentication with the discovered network. The UE can obtain a subscriber identifier for authenticating on the discovered network via the authentication, where the subscriber identifier is generated based at least in part on a service provider identifier associated with the service provider and a modified mobile subscriber identity associated with the service provider. The UE can send the subscriber identifier to a node of the discovered network for the authentication.

Abstract: A proximity alert system tracks geographic locations of riders and drivers using global navigation satellite system receivers in their mobile devices or in a device such as a beacon or dashcam. The proximity alert system compares the location data received from the riders' and drivers' devices and determines whether a service-requesting user is within a threshold distance of one of the driver devices that does not belong to the driver assigned to provide transport service for the rider. If so, the proximity alert system can communicate a notification message to the rider to confirm whether the rider is in the correct car. The proximity alert system can also communicate a message to the driver asking the driver to double-check the identity of the rider.

Abstract: A method performed by a first Radio Control Node (RCN) for handling a radio connection to be established in a second beam controlled by a second RCN for the UE served in a first beam controlled by the first RCN. When the radio connection of the UE, served in a first beam controlled by the first RCN, has been established in the second beam controlled by a second RCN, the first RCN obtains feedback from the second RCN. The feedback relates to information about the characteristics of the radio connection in the second beam resulting from measurements performed when the radio connection has been established between the UE and a second radio node providing the second beam. The first RCN then provides for the radio connection to be established in the second beam controlled by the second RCN for any UEs served in the first beam.

Abstract: Provided are a method and device for determining a bearer identifier (ID), and a storage medium. The above-mentioned method for determining the bearer ID includes that: a target access and mobility control function (tAMF) transmits a session update request to a session management function (SMF), and receives a session update response that carries bearer ID allocation information and that is fed back by the SMF. The above-mentioned technical solution may solve a problem in the related art, yet to be solved effectively, of how to determine allocated evolved packet system (EPS) bearer ID (EBI) information after mobility events such as idle state mobility within 5G, idle state mobility from 4G to 5G and a connected state handover from 4G to 5G occur.

Abstract: When a handover request for performing a handover of a terminal (70) from a macro cell C1 to a CSG cell C2 is received from an SeNB 10 (S8), a base station (TeNB) (40) of the CSG cell C2 transmits a handover response in accordance with a handover enabled/disabled state (S12). The handover response includes an identifier of the terminal (70) in the CSG cell C2. Upon receiving the response, the SeNB (10) notifies the identifier to the terminal (70) (S14). The TeNB (40) repeatedly transmits a dedicated signal containing a handover command via a dedicated channel set using the identifier at an interval shorter than a gap period (S18). Accordingly, whether or not access is permitted can be judged promptly and a smooth handover can be realized.

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.
