  • Patent number: 11330102
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums that assign a same identifier to a plurality of a user's communication devices. A communication server alerts only one device of the plurality of communication devices at a time in response to a communication establishment request from a calling communication device directed to the identifier. If the user fails to answer the alert, another device is chosen and alerted according to a particular sequence of devices until the user either answers or until all devices (or a determined subset of devices) have been tried. In some examples, the communication devices are reachable by the communication service via an alternative address known to the communication server, such as an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

  • Patent number: 11323174
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for paging a user terminal (UT) in a non-terrestrial network (NTN), which may define a plurality of NTN tracking areas (TA). Each NTN TA, served by one or more satellite beams, may move or may be a geographic region. The UT may report its location before changing its connection state with the NTN and may also update its location whenever it moves a threshold distance from the previous reported location. The NTN may estimate UT's current location based on the last reported location and other factors including mobility of the UT. The NTN may determine a UT TA as the NTN TA that corresponds to the current location, and may page the UT through one or more satellite beams corresponding to the UT TA.

  • Patent number: 11323978
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for tracking a position of one or more Wi-Fi devices of a plurality of Wi-Fi devices. For tracking the position of the one or more Wi-Fi devices, a Triggering Router triggers the one or more Wi-Fi devices to transmit one of a broadcast probe and a directed probe through broadcasting hidden SSID networks and common SSIDs that increase a probing tendency of the one or more Wi-Fi devices. The plurality of Wi-Fi sniffers, then, collect measurement data associated with the one or more Wi-Fi devices in response to detecting the broadcast probe transmission and the directed probe transmission. Thereafter, the position of the one or more Wi-Fi devices is estimated using an adaptive machine learning model based on an indoor model whose parameters are tuned based on radio frequency (RF) measurements from the plurality of Wi-Fi devices and the measurement data.
