Abstract: The present technology relates to limited communication capability notifications. In aspects, non-terrestrial networks can be resource-constrained such that limited wireless communication services are provided to connected wireless communication devices. Accordingly, a user of a first wireless communication device connected to or about to connect to a non-terrestrial network or a user of a second wireless communication device contacting the first wireless communication device can benefit from being notified that the first wireless communication device has or is about to have reduced wireless capability (e.g., due to it being connected to a resource-constrained non-terrestrial network). To accomplish this, aspects of the present technology relate to providing such notifications.

Abstract: A wireless device connects to a non-terrestrial communication network from a terrestrial communication network such that a wireless communication service is provided by the non-terrestrial communication network. The wireless device receives a request from a user to perform a voice call to a terminating device, where the terminating device is remotely located from the wireless device and communicatively coupled to a cellular network. In response to receiving the request to perform the voice call, the wireless device redirects from a voice call function to a text messaging function and receives a first text message input from the user. The wireless device transmits the first text message over the non-terrestrial communication network, where the first text message is transmitted as a short message service message. The wireless device receives over the non-terrestrial communication network, from the terminating device, a second text message as a short message service message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing telecommunications resources to users based on telecommunications resource availability are disclosed. The system stores information pertaining to one or more mobile networks within a first mobile network list, where a mobile device is prevented from providing an access request to a mobile network in the first mobile network list. In response to determining, via a second mobile network list, that no approved mobile network is available to provide a particular connectivity service, the system determines for each mobile network of the first mobile network list a set of connectivity services associated with each respective mobile network of the mobile network list. The system selects a first mobile network of the one or more mobile networks to provide a first access request to the first mobile network based on a corresponding set of connectivity services including the particular connectivity service associated with the first mobile network.

Abstract: A mobile device receives network information from a connected non-terrestrial network. A streaming app installed on the mobile device is configured to stream data at a first bit rate while the mobile device is connected to a terrestrial network. The mobile device identifies network resources of the non-terrestrial network that include a bandwidth, a latency, and/or a data packet loss rate. The mobile device configures the streaming application in accordance with the network resources to stream data at a second bit rate lower than the first bit rate while the mobile device is connected to the non-terrestrial network. The streaming app is configured in accordance with a quality of service provided by the non-terrestrial network that is based on a frequency range, a congestion level, and/or a signal strength of the non-terrestrial network.

Abstract: A mobile app store receives an access request from a mobile device via a communication network. The mobile app store includes first versions of apps for use on terrestrial networks and corresponding second versions of the apps for use on non-terrestrial networks. The mobile app store determines that the communication network is a non-terrestrial network based on information obtained from the communication network. The mobile app store displays only the second versions of the apps on the mobile device, while preventing display of the first versions of the apps on the mobile device. The mobile app store receives a request from the mobile device for downloading a particular second version of an app. The mobile app store pushes the second version to the mobile device for installation.

Abstract: A mobile device having multiple applications installed determines that a first communication network associated with a mobile network operator of the mobile device is unavailable. The device receives network information from a second communication network indicating that the second communication network is available. In response to determining that the second communication network is available, the device connects to the second communication network. The device determines, based on the network information, that the second communication network is a non-terrestrial communication network. The second communication network is associated with a bandwidth less than a threshold bandwidth. In response to determining that the second communication network is a non-terrestrial communication network, the mobile device is configured to operate in a non-terrestrial mode. At least one application is rendered inoperable while the mobile device is operating in the non-terrestrial mode.

Abstract: The invention relates a material extrusion additive manufacturing method for producing a clear, internally transparent part composed of amorphous thermoplastic polymer layers at least 0.1 mm thick. The invention also relates to internally clear parts made by the method, having an internal haze of less than 25%, less than 15%, less than 10% and even less than 5%. The method creates a printed dot or line of amorphous thermoplastic polymer that remains at a high internal temperature for a long enough period of time to allow the polymer chains in each layer to be mobile and fluid, permitting sufficient inter-layer chain entanglements to reduce and eliminate layer lines. With a nearly 100% dense final part, voids are eliminated. The resultant printed article has a very high internal clarity, and can have a haze of less than 5%.
