Abstract: A wireless communication network (102) can employ techniques for the network (102) to indicate specific radio access characteristics to be used by a user equipment (100) 5 when responding to a paging message. The network (102) can indicate a specific radio access technology (RAT) that the UE (100) should use when connecting to the network (102). In this manner, the UE (100) can initiate a connection using the desired RAT rather than first initiating a connection with an incorrect RAT and performing a handover or network reconfiguration.

Abstract: The media production element (12) combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element (12) can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device (42) can determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assign less resources to those that are not currently used. Rather than optimizing individual links, the event-coordinated uplink network assistance data is determined by taking the aggregated capacity and the production needs of the media production element (12) into account.

Abstract: The media production element combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device can provide feedback to the media production element regarding network conditions for the electronic devices that are registered to an event. Such feedback can prevent bad network connections from affecting the final media production by helping the media production element to decide which data stream to use in the production and when to switch from an electronic device that can be on its way to losing optimum radio conditions.

The media production element can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device can receive priority information from the media production element and determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data based on an event priority assignment corresponding to the event or an individual priority assignment corresponding to a particular device registered to the event with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assigning less resources to those that are not currently used or have a lower priority.

Abstract: The media production element combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. An electronic device participating in the uplink data streaming of the event can transmit data segments to the media production element in real-time, and it can also store data segments locally. A network assistance device or media production element can request a non-real time stored data segment from the electronic device.

Abstract: A user device comprising a touch display; one or more memories to store instructions; and one or more processing systems to execute the instructions and cause the touch display to induce a body-coupled signal, in relation to a user of the user device, pertaining to a transmission of data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for labeling an image recorded by a portable electronic device with descriptive tags is disclosed. Sounds in the vicinity of the portable electronic device are recorded. When the image is captured, the audio record of recorded sounds from a first predetermined period of time prior to the capture of the image until a second predetermined period of time after the capture of the image is retrieved. The retrieved audio record is processed to create a list of recognizable words in the retrieved audio record. The list of recognizable words is then stored in a metatag field associated with the captured image.
