Abstract: A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) or the like) can operate wireless local area network (WLAN) mobility between groups of WLAN access points (APs) in LTE/WLAN aggregation based on control by the eNB and further between WLAP APs within a particular group based on control by the UE. A long term evolution (LTE) link can communicate a first set of WLAN data related to a first set of WLAN access points (APs) that enables the UE to generate a WLAN mobility operation from a first WLAN AP to a second WLAN AP within the first set of WLAN APs based on a determination generated by the UE. The UE can be prompted by the eNB to also select another WLAN AP of the second set of WLAN APs coupled to a different WLAN Termination or logic node.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to securely identifying positioning information and include a plurality of APs configured to facilitate wireless communications within a servicing area, an infrastructure entity, communicatively coupled to each of the APs, and configured to store and process subscription information, positioning information, QoS information indicative of resolution levels of the positioning information, and encryption/decryption information specific to each of a plurality of subscribing member wireless devices. As a wireless device enters the servicing area, the wireless device establishes a first level of communication with the infrastructure entity via at least one AP, and requests positioning information to the at least one AP which is then forwarded to the infrastructure entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to use of a neighbor list for wireless indoor navigation. The neighbor list may include related information regarding all neighboring access points (APs). The neighbor list can be transmitted, at least partially, to include the related information of a desired number of or all APs in the neighbor list from one AP to a wireless device. The neighbor list can be transmitted in a Neighbor Report Response (NRR) or a time-of-flight (ToF) Response and allow the wireless device to scan for minimal number of APs for ToF measurements. By using the neighbor list, power consumption and time can be significantly reduced during wireless indoor navigation.

Abstract: A Machine Type Communication (MTC) device may establish a perpetual connected mode and an extended discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle with a base station. The perpetual connected mode may reduce the amount of signaling overhead required by the MTC device. The extended DRX cycle may enable the MTC device to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the perpetual connected mode. In addition, network overhead may be reduced by decreasing the frequency of scheduled measurements and/or transmissions performed by the MTC device.
