Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for analyzing return on investment (ROI) for social commerce interactions. User data associated with a target group of social media users is collected and processed to generate a first set of social commerce metrics. The user data comprises a first set of social media interaction data corresponding to a first set of social commerce interactions with the target group of social media users. The user data is further processed to generate a second set of social commerce interactions, which are then performed. The performance of the second set of social commerce interactions generates a second set of social commerce interaction data, which in turn is processed to generate a second set of social commerce metrics. The first and second sets of social commerce metrics are then processed to generate social commerce ROI metrics.

Abstract: Determining a geographic location of a cellular base station is disclosed. In some embodiments, a set of measurement data that includes for each of a plurality of signals received at the base station a corresponding measurement data is determined. The set of measurement data is used to determine the geographic location of the base station. In some embodiments, a set of measurement data is received. The received measurement data includes for each of a plurality of location measurement units at which a signal transmitted by the base station is received a corresponding measurement data associated with the signal. The set of measurement data is used to determine the geographic location of the base station.

Abstract: A mobile telecommunications architecture is disclosed. A downlink mobile telecommunications signaling message is received via a first communication interface associated with a single shared network controller connection to a mobile switching center (MSC) server. The downlink mobile telecommunications signaling message is mapped to one of a plurality of small scale base stations each of which is configured to perform at least some network controller functions.

Abstract: Enabling a standard cellular handset to be used to access a core mobile network via a generic access network is disclosed. A communication between a generic access network element and the core mobile network is intercepted. A modified version of the communication is generated. The modified communication is forwarded.

Abstract: Using radio frequency sensing to detecting that a cellular base station has been moved to a new geographic location is disclosed. A determination is made that a sensed radio frequency environment does not match a stored baseline. It is concluded, based at least in part on the determination that a sensed radio frequency environment does not match a stored baseline, that the cellular base station has been moved.

Abstract: Facilitating use of a restricted base transceiver station is disclosed. To a first set of subscribers associated with a mobile network operator, access to a mobile network is provided via base transceiver stations associated with a first mobile network identifier associated with the mobile network operator but not via base transceiver stations associated with a second mobile network identifier associated with the mobile network operator. To each of a second set of subscribers associated with the mobile network operator, access to the mobile network is provided via a corresponding subset of a set of base transceiver stations associated with the second mobile network identifier, the subset including for each subscriber in the second set one or more base transceiver stations with respect to which that subscriber is an authorized user.
