Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for biometric identification are provided. The apparatus may be a user device. The apparatus may detect biometric information for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be set by a hysteresis timer. The apparatus may compare the detected biometric information with stored biometric information associated with a stored user profile of a plurality of user profiles. The apparatus may then determine whether to display the stored user profile based on the comparison after the predetermined period of time has elapsed.

Abstract: Described herein are apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for diverting a call from a server that receives calls to a wearable device (e.g., a watch) associated with a mobile device. In some embodiments, a mobile device determines whether a condition to activate a call diversion feature for the mobile device is met. In response to determining the condition is met, the mobile device communicates with the server to activate the call diversion feature for the mobile device. Subsequently, a call intended for the mobile device that is received at the server is diverted from the server to the wearable device.

Abstract: Access terminals are adapted to facilitate reacquisition procedures for a slotted idle mode. According to one example, an access terminal can operate in a slotted idle mode. The access terminal can then determine one or more optimized parameters for reacquisition procedures. In one example, the access terminal can determine an optimized length of time for reacquisition periods by incrementally reducing the length of time for reacquisition periods until an optimized length of time is obtained. In another example, the access terminal can determine an optimized number of pseudorandom noise (PN) signals and PN positions to be stored during each awake state of the slotted idle mode by incrementally reducing the number of PN signals and PN positions that are stored until an optimized number of stored PN signals and PN positions is obtained. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for of tracking network system timing are provided. In one aspect, a method for wireless communication comprises determining a probability of passing an accessibility test for accessing a network. The method further includes comparing the determined probability to a threshold. The method further includes selectively performing a backoff procedure for a period of time based on the comparison.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide devices, methods, and systems for use in emergency call situation. For example, in one embodiment, a mobile wireless device transmits a registration message upon an end of an emergency callback mode, which takes place after an emergency call made while the mobile device is in airplane mode, to ensure that the network is aware of the active status of the mobile device. This way, the user of the mobile device can receive all incoming calls after the cessation of the emergency callback mode, relieving the user of the inconvenience of being unaware of their inability to receive incoming calls. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
