Abstract: A system includes at least one computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions and at least one processor in communication with the at least one computer-readable storage medium. When executing the instructions, the system is directed to receive, from a user of a second wireless network, a request to transmit second wireless network data over a first wireless network and determine a protocol based on one or more parameters associated with the first wireless network and the second wireless network for transmitting the data. The protocol may indicate a resource allocation between second wireless network data transmission and first wireless network data transmission. The system is further directed to obtain information related to a first spectrum of the first wireless network for transmitting the second wireless network data based on the protocol and transmit, to the user, the information related to the first spectrum.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a transmitter configured to transmit a UCI payload with CRC bits by using a PUCCH, wherein a size of the CRC bits added to the UCI payload is a first size, and a number of PRBs of a resource of the PUCCH is given based on a second size of the CRC bits.

Abstract: A method for providing Internet access to a customer of a service provider wherein the service provider takes over the costs for the customer's Internet use. The method includes the customer's user equipment generating a service start notification message to a server of the service provider in response to the customer agreeing to the service and commencement of use of the service. The service start notification message triggers sending a query to a database of the service provider containing customer data, and confirming the customer has access rights for getting Internet access at the service provider's expenses. The service provider generates and sends out a request message to the mobile communication provider of the customer and requests an intermediate change of the customer's mobile communication contract so the costs for loading Internet data on the customer's user equipment will be temporarily charged to the service provider rather than the customer.

Abstract: A cellular communications network comprises a plurality of geographically distributed access nodes arranged for communication with mobile terminals.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein disclose determining anchor assignment for one or more user devices (UEs). The system comprises at least a first node configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more UEs in a geographic service area. The system determines the location of at least one UE within the geographic area. A sector power ratio for the first node is determined to be above a predetermined threshold. Based on this determination, the system modifies an upper limit of the quantity of UEs that are permitted to be assigned to communicate using the MU-MIMO group to a second upper limit. At least one UE previously assigned to a single user MIMO is re-assigned to the MU-MIMO such that the second upper limit of the MU-MIMO group is not exceeded.

Abstract: A method for text capture is provided. The method monitors a text session among a set of mobile text-enabled devices capable of having mixed operating system types.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Updated radio protocol data may be propagated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution scheme so that peer devices that are incompatible with a particular radio protocol may be dynamically re-configured to communicate with other devices using the particular radio protocol. A remote server(s) may push updated radio protocol data to a hub device, which thereafter disseminates the radio protocol data to other peer devices. These peer devices can forward the data to downstream peer devices, and so on, without further intervention by the remote server(s) that initiated the distribution. The transfer of radio protocol data over P2P connections may occur using a broadcasting technique where, prior to the transfer, a device in possession of the radio protocol data broadcasts an indication to nearby peer devices, which can receive the broadcast and indicate to the broadcaster whether they are ready to receive the radio protocol data.
