Abstract: Techniques described herein utilize a system comprised of a cloud-based communication platform server (CPS), a plurality of fixed location wireless beacons within a geofenced area, and a fleet of user equipments (UEs). Each UE is capable of wireless communication with the CPS over one or more of a plurality of wireless RF networks. Additionally, each UE may also be configured to receive RF transmissions directly from the plurality of fixed location wireless beacons. The system may implement a method for determining areas of poor wireless connectivity within the geofenced area. The method may comprise determining whether a UE has an active connection with the CPS via at least one of the plurality of wireless RF networks. When the UE does not have an active connection with the CPS via any of the wireless RF networks, it may self-determine its location within the geofenced area and store its self-determined location.

Abstract: A network node that communicates with a set of wireless devices (WDs) is provided. The set of WDs includes at least a first WD that detects a traffic event and a group of other WDs. The network node comprises processing circuitry configured to determine a space corresponding to the first WD. The determined space has at least a dynamic dimension that is based at least on a vehicle traffic factor of a plurality of vehicle traffic factors associated with the first WD. Each of the WDs of the group of other WDs is determined to be within the space corresponding to the first WD. A first message is received from the first WD, where the first message is associated with the traffic event. A second message is transmitted to each of the WDs of the group of other WDs based in part on the traffic event.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for evaluating an ongoing VoIP over WiFi call for purposes of determining when to hand it off to a circuit-switched cellular network connection. 802.11 WiFi call quality values X(i) over a sampled time period (N) of (j) samples for an ongoing telephone call over an 802.11 WiFi communication link are obtained and stored. An instantaneous annoyance value a(j) for each of the stored call quality values X(j) within sampled time period (N) is calculated. A current accumulated annoyance value A(i) by summing the instantaneous annoyance values a(j) is also calculated. The accumulated annoyance value A(i) is compared to a handoff threshold value H(i). A handoff of the telephone call from the 802.11 WiFi communication link to a circuit-switched cellular communication link is initiated when the accumulated annoyance value A(i) is greater than the handoff threshold value H(i).

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for evaluating an ongoing VoIP call over a combination of IP data communication network connections for purposes of determining when to hand it off to a circuit-switched cellular network connection. Multiple IP stream call quality values X1(i), X2(i), and Xb(i) are sampled over a time period (N) of (j) samples for an ongoing telephone call and stored. Instantaneous annoyance values a1(j), a2(j), and ab(j) for each of the stored call quality values for each of the IP streams within sampled time period (N) are calculated. Current accumulated annoyance values A1(i), A2(i), and Ab(i) are obtained by summing the instantaneous annoyance values a(j) for each IP network. The combined IP stream accumulated annoyance values Ab(i) is compared to a handoff threshold values Hb(i). A handoff of the telephone call a circuit-switched cellular communication link is initiated when the accumulated annoyance value Ab(i) is greater than the handoff threshold value Hb(i).

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for executing a handoff profile for a hybrid mobile device. Communication link handoff logic may be executed by a processor component to detect an 802.11 network access point while in a communication session between a mobile device and a call server over a cellular communication link. The mobile device may register with the call server over the 802.11 network access point and establish a Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication link between the mobile device and the call server. A test Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream over the VoIP communication link between the mobile device and the call server may then be established. Data for discrete time intervals of the test RTP stream may be received, the data for each time interval comprising a plurality of VoIP communication link parameter values and fit to a statistical.

Communication link handoff logic may be executed by a processor to detect an 802.11 network access point and register the mobile device with a call server over the 802.11 network access point. Thereafter, a first timer may be initiated for a specified duration wherein the registration between the mobile device and the call server over the 802.11 network access point is maintained without interruption for the duration of the first timer. Upon successful expiration of the first timer, a second timer may be initiated for a specified duration wherein VoIP communication link parameters for the 802.11 link between the mobile device and the call server are deemed sufficient for the entire duration of the second timer. Upon successful expiration of the second timer, a handoff may be performed between the mobile device and the call server from the cellular communication link to the 802.11 link.
