  • Patent number: 11765649
    Abstract: A method and system for a base station (BS) configured for sharing among a plurality of public land mobile networks (PLMNs), and for providing open radio access and/or closed subscriber group (CSG) radio access for user equipment devices (UEs) served. The BS may make a determination of which PLMNs have enabled CSG and which have not, and may transmit a request to a core network of each PLMN to set up an interface connection with each. Based on the determination, the request may either include information for configuring CSG radio access, or information for configuring only open radio access. For each PLMN having CSG enabled, the interface connection may be established for CSG radio access for UEs associated with PLMNs having CSG enabled. For each PLMN not having CSG enabled, the interface connection may be established for only open radio access for UEs associated with PLMNs without CSG enabled.

  • Patent number: 11589189
    Abstract: An application running on a UE receives a command through a user interface or from a server to initiate the locating of a tracking device. The tracking device determines one or more hot spots it is close to. A server determines whether to instruct the tracking device to use its GNSS circuitry to determine its location based on a comparison of location information corresponding to the hot spot(s) and user selectable accuracy criteria. The UE may detect a beacon signal and determine an initial value corresponding to an initial signal strength of the beacon. The beacon may only broadcast for a predetermined period based on location scenario. The application produces a default initial indication, based on the initial signal strength and uses updated beacon signal strength values to adjust the indication relative to the default indication based on the updated signal strength value relative to the initial signal strength value.
