Abstract: In an embodiment, a client device obtains a list of client devices registered in association with a particular client application, and then detects listed client device(s) as proximate via a local communications interface. One of the proximate client devices is identified as responsible for sending an aggregated registration request message for renewing their respective application registrations with a server. In another embodiment, the server receives a registration message for the client application from a client device and detects that at least one other registered client device for that client application is proximate to the requesting client device. The server attempts to preemptively renew the registrations for both the requesting client device and the at least one other registered client device based on the proximity detection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for optimizing performance using data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device with analytics engines. The method receives, from a requesting Internet of Things (IoT) device, a request for trend data of physical resource consumption based at least in part on a portion of received data from at least one of a plurality of IoT devices. The method retrieves, from memory of an analytics engine, at least the portion of the received data. The method calculates, in a calculator of the analytics engine, the trend data based on at least the portion of the received data. The method transmits, to the requesting IoT device, the calculated trend data, wherein the requesting IoT device adjusts parameters in an IoT device using the calculated trend data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for enhanced availability of network-assisted services. The method may include receiving, from at least one peripheral device, one or more provisioning requests to provide service to the at least one peripheral device. The method may also include determining whether to handle one or more provisioning requests based on capabilities of the mobile gateway. Furthermore, the method may include, in response to the determination to handle the one or more provisioning requests, requesting, from a server, at least one application based on the one or more provisioning requests, wherein the at least one application enables the mobile gateway to service the at least one peripheral device.

Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods of displaying visual infotainment information to a vehicle operator. A processor of an infotainment system may provide visual infotainment information to be displayed on a first display when the infotainment system is operating in a first display mode. The processor may determine whether a change in state or operation of the vehicle is within a predetermined threshold variance while the infotainment system is operating in the first display mode. The processor may transition from the first display mode to a second display mode in response to determining that the change in state or operation of the vehicle is within the predetermined threshold variance and provide the visual infotainment information to be displayed on a second display when the infotainment system is operating in the second display mode in a manner configured to guide the operator's attention to an external environment of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a network monitoring device and methods for estimating time elapsed between a user's first selection of an item or hyperlink on a web browser of a user device and a first bit received by the user device from a corresponding web server.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of tracking user specific tunnels in wireless communication networks, such as a UTRAN/GERAN connected to a LTE network.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to mechanisms that may be used to route notifications in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment according to user activity and/or proximity detection. More particularly, in various embodiments, an entity that manages the IoT environment may receive one or more messages, actions, or responses that indicate detected activity or detected proximity associated with one or more users from one or more IoT devices in the IoT environment. The management entity may then establish an activity and proximity trail from the one or more messages, actions, or responses that indicate the detected activity or the detected proximity, whereby in response to an IoT device reporting one or more notifications, an IoT device in proximity to at least one of the one or more users may be identified and the one or more notifications may be routed to the identified IoT device.

Abstract: A mobile device is capable of enabling one or more location data sources for location determination of the mobile device. The mobile device may receive a request for an emergency location session, e.g., by a user dialing E911 or from an external client. At least one location data source in the mobile device is determined to be disabled. For example, the location data sources may be a WLAN transceiver or a WPAN transceiver, as well as camera sensors and environmental sensors. The disabled location data source (s) is enabled and location data is obtained from the enabled location data source(s). The location data may be provided, e.g., to a location server. The status of the location data source (s) may be restored, e.g., disabled, after the location data is obtained or after the emergency location session is completed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for connecting a proxy device to a mobile device are disclosed. In an aspect, the proxy device continuously scans for the mobile device, wherein the mobile device broadcasts advertising messages to connect to the proxy device, connects to the mobile device in response to the mobile device coming into communication range of the proxy device, and sends information to the mobile device, the information configured to enable the mobile device to connect to a low energy device.

Abstract: In the network-based group management and floor control mechanism disclosed herein, a server may receive a request to occupy a shared IoT resource from a member device in an IoT device group and transmit a message granting the member IoT device permission to occupy the shared IoT resource based on one or more policies. For example, the granted permission may comprise a floor that blocks other IoT devices from accessing the shared IoT resource while the member IoT device holds the floor. Furthermore, the server may revoke the permission if the member IoT device fails to transmit a keep-alive message before a timeout period expires, a high-priority IoT device pre-empts the floor, and/or based on the policies. Alternatively, the server may make the shared IoT resource available if the member IoT device sends a message that voluntarily releases the floor.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to enabling communication among one or more Internet of Things (IoT) device groups. In particular, various heterogeneous IoT devices that may need to interact with one another in different ways may be organized into IoT device groups to support efficient interaction among the IoT devices. For example, pre-defined IoT device groups may be formed organize certain IoT devices that perform similar activities and certain IoT devices may be dynamically allocated to ad-hoc IoT device groups for certain contexts (e.g., the ad-hoc IoT device groups may include IoT devices that can implement a desired function and therefore be dynamically formed to implement the desired function). Furthermore, the IoT groups may communicate hierarchically, wherein messages may be exchanged among IoT group owners or ranking members to support efficient communication between different IoT groups.
