Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a pair of eNodeBs exchange X2 signaling over a primary X2 signaling link. The eNodeBs implement a secondary X2 signaling link when the primary X2 signaling link goes down. The eNodeBs serve multiple wireless communication device groups with a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication service. The eNodeBs detect a performance loss of the primary X2 link, and the eNodeB with the most device groups selects a group to implement the secondary X2 link. The eNodeBs establish the secondary X2 signaling link through the selected device group. The eNodeBs exchange X2 signaling over the secondary X2 signaling link through the selected wireless communication device group. The selected device group uses the D2D communication service to exchange the X2 signaling over the secondary X2 signaling link.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and products provide for restricting access to mature content by individuals for whom access to the mature content is designated as inappropriate. A content filter receives a communication, determines that the communication includes an image, and extracts the image. The image is scanned for mature content. A content restrictor component restricts access by various classes of users to the mature content.

Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for locating a lost mobile device utilizing a radio frequency signal associated with the lost mobile device. One embodiment of the method includes activating a signal on a lost mobile device. An identifier associated with the lost mobile device allows a locating mobile device to receive the signal from the lost mobile device and filter out interference. The strength of the signal is determined and a location of the lost mobile device is communicated to a user based on the strength of the signal.

Abstract: A method of operating a wireless transmission system having antenna elements that are driven by corresponding antenna ports is disclosed. The method includes, in a base system, transmitting a first antenna port configuration for receipt by a remote radio head. The method also includes, in the remote radio head, allocating first communication signals among the antenna ports based on the first antenna port configuration, and transmitting the first communication signals to the antenna ports for wireless transfer to user devices. The method also includes, in the base system, identifying active sets that indicate active pilot signals for the user devices, processing the active sets to identify a second antenna port configuration, and transmitting the second antenna port configuration for receipt by the remote radio head. The method also includes, in the remote radio head, allocating second communication signals among the antenna ports based on the second antenna port configuration.

Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to receive data via a communication network and to receive a data restriction message that instructs the wireless communication device to limit a rate at which the data is provided to a user. The processing system is configured to determine individual amounts of the data associated with a plurality of applications of the wireless communication device, identify an application of the plurality of applications associated with an individual amount of the data that meets a criterion, and limit a delivery rate at which application data associated with the application is provided to the user based on the data restriction message.

Abstract: A user communication device establishes a first call with a first caller. During the first call, the user communication device receives a call alert for a second call from a second caller. In response to receiving the call alert during the first call, the user communication device presents an option to the user to combine the first caller audio with second caller audio and to transfer the user audio for delivery to the second caller and not to the first caller. The user communication device receives an instruction from the user, and in response, receives and transfers the user audio for delivery to the second caller and not to the first caller. The user communication device receives and plays the first caller audio and the second caller audio.

Abstract: A communication system for providing access to an information service includes a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface is configured to receive a request for an information session between a communication device and a virtual destination identified in the request. The virtual destination is associated with service destinations that provide the information service. The processor is configured to select one destination from the service destinations based on a type of the information session. The service destinations include a voice platform and a text message platform and the type of the information session is a voice session or a text message session. The processor is also configured to initiate the information session between the communication device and the one destination.

Abstract: A wireless control system for managing traffic in a multi-band wireless network is disclosed. The wireless control system configured to receive measurements that indicate channel performance information and round trip delay information for wireless communication devices operating within a first frequency band of the multi-band wireless network, process the channel performance information and the round trip delay information to determine a probability of successful frequency transfer, identify a subset of the wireless communication devices with probabilities of successful transfer that exceed a transfer threshold, and remove from the subset wireless communication devices whose velocity exceeds a movement threshold.

Abstract: Noise reduction is provided to audio captured by a headset by employing spatially separated microphones provided by a headset and a mobile phone. Primary audio is captured by a headset microphone and includes both voice audio and ambient noise. Secondary audio is captured by a mobile phone microphone and includes ambient audio. Noise reduction is performed using the primary and secondary audio to generate a noise-reduce audio.

Abstract: Methods and products are described for facilitating a method of controlling participation in a teleconference call. One embodiment of the method includes connection to a teleconference call so that a user of a communications device is capable of participating in the call. Any real-time inbound audio and real-time outbound audio is recorded and stored. At some point during the call, a pause command is received that indicates a desire to suspend real-time participation in the teleconference call and that starts a pause process. One embodiment of the pause process includes continuing to record the real-time inbound audio but preventing it from being presented via the communications device until a resume request is received, preventing the real-time outbound audio from being sent to other call participants until a resume request is received, and enabling a resume option that allows the user to re-engage in real-time participation in the teleconference call.
