Abstract: A wireless network may include network equipment such as base stations that operate within cells and that communicate with user equipment (UE) devices. The network equipment may harvest anonymized data from the UE devices and may generate connection counts based on the anonymized data. The network equipment may estimate the total population of each cell based on the connection counts, may generate a maximum number of individuals allowed in the cells under a social distancing guideline, and may compare the estimated total population of the cells to the maximum number of individuals. Cells having an estimated total population that exceeds the maximum number of individuals may be labeled as cells having poor social distancing. Information may be provided to a UE device identifying these cells to allow a user to make informed decisions on where to travel without exposing private information to the network.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for UE assisted mobility management. A UE may receive, from a network, an initial list of measurement cells, filter the initial list of measurement cells based on criteria to generate an optimized cell list, perform cell measurements based on the optimized cell list, and report, to the network, cell measurements based on the optimized cell list. The criteria may be based, at least in part, on at least one of UE location, UE mobility pattern, and/or UE privacy preservation. The UE may use a geolocation and/or a mobility pattern of the UE and geolocations of cells to filter out cells. The UE may use a privacy preservation algorithm on a previously filtered list of measurement cells to filter out cells to avoid allowing the network to estimate a geolocation of the UE based on the reported measurements.

Abstract: A self-organizing device may include a recovery control module which may monitor different events from various different domains, for example from different layers of the software stack, associated with wireless communications of the device. Upon identifying a specific condition based on the monitored information, the device may execute a corresponding auto-recovery mechanism to mitigate adverse effects of the condition experienced by the device. Devices may provide monitored information to servers, e.g. to cloud servers, which may use expert systems to analyze the information collected from multiple devices, for example from globally dispersed devices, and may define mitigation action responses corresponding to specific scenarios or conditions that include device-specific considerations.

Abstract: The subject technology receives an input data set including rows of values for features of the input data set, each row including a different combination of values for the features. The subject technology classifies one or more rows of values as an anomaly based on anomaly scores determined for each of the rows of values. The subject technology determines a subset of the different features that affect the anomaly scores of the one or more rows classified as the anomaly. The subject technology determines a root cause for at least one of the rows classified as the anomaly based on values of the subset of the different features for the at least one of the rows. The subject technology provides an indication of the root cause to a device to enable the device to perform an action when encountering conditions corresponding to the root cause at a subsequent time.

Abstract: A method includes outputting an alert corresponding to an information item. In some implementations, the alert is a sound. In some implementations, the alert is ambiguous (e.g., the sound indicates several possible information items). The method further includes receiving a speech input after outputting the alert. The method further includes determining whether the speech input includes a request for information about the alert. The method further includes, in response to determining that the speech input includes a request for information about the alert, providing a first speech output including information about the alert.
