Abstract: A wireless terminal capable of operating in a discontinuous mode and method for operation facilitate measurements pertaining to position of the wireless terminal. A measurement request message from a radio access network indicates that measurements are to be performed by the wireless terminal on downlink signals transmitted by the base station or by the base station on downlink signals transmitted by the base station. As a result of or after receiving the message, operation of the wireless terminal changes from a discontinuous mode to a modified mode to facilitate performance of the measurements. Relative to the discontinuous mode at least one of following are shortened or eliminated in the modified mode: (i) the non-reception periods, and (ii) the non-transmission periods.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, pre-chat intent prediction and dialogue generation may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a chat initiation request may be obtained from a user. The latest activity information associated with the user may be provided to a prediction model to obtain predicted intents of the user.
