Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for the classification of indoor and outdoor telecommunications events that occur within mobile telecommunications networks. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a method for classifying telecommunications events can include receiving a data set that includes geo-location data and radio signal measurement data for a plurality of telecommunications events that have occurred within a mobile telecommunications network. The method can also include providing the data set as input to a classification model. The method can also include classifying the data set into an indoor results subset and an outdoor results subset using the classification model. The indoor results subset can include a first telecommunications event that is determined by the classification model to have occurred in an indoor location. The outdoor results subset can include a second telecommunications event that is determined by the classification model to have occurred in an outdoor location.

Abstract: Mechanisms for user application access to cell broadcast messaging in a mobile communication environment are described herein. By way of example, a location-based message such as a cell broadcast message can be received by an operating system of a mobile device, which can generate an instance of the message for a user application registered with the operating system. Upon determining the message to be a location-based message, message data can be converted into a fielded data object which can be utilized by user application of the mobile device. Data, commands, etc., of the CB message can then be implemented in conjunction with application processes or business logic to control device functionality, perform tasks, output data over a user interface, initiate communications, and so forth.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for fraud analysis for a location aware transaction. In an aspect, location information can be associated with historical fraud events. The location of user equipment can be analyzed against historical fraud information to facilitate determination of a fraud factor value. The fraud factor value can reflect a determination related to the likelihood of fraud occurring in the present transaction based on the historic fraud events at the same or similar location as the present location of the user equipment. The determination can be based on fraud rules. Further aspects provide for abstraction of the fraud factor to limit exposure of personal information associated with wireless carrier subscribers in fraud analysis for a location aware transaction.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining the location of user equipment (UE) in a wireless network are disclosed. These techniques leverage geometric calculations for an overlaid local bin grid framework mapping an area of a wireless network to stored differential values for each frame of the local bin grid framework for pairs of relevant NodeB radios. A timing offset can be determined, such that when a time value from the UE is accessed, the location can be quickly determined with minimal real time computation. In an aspect, the UE time value can be searched for in the pre-computed differential value data set indexed by a relevant NodeB radio pair to return a set of frames that can be intersected with a second set of frames for a second NodeB radio pair for the UE. The intersecting frames can represent the location of the UE in the wireless network.

Abstract: Situational awareness is determined to retrieve related content. Historical usage of a mobile device is analyzed to generate a rich mapping of different contexts to different categories of content and other interests. At any time the mapping may be consulted to determine the user's historical interests for the same operational context. Categories of content may then be retrieved and displayed, thus bring forth relevant, contextual content at its moment of need.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a first computing device, first data associated with a performance indicator of a wireless wide area network for a first time period. The method also includes determining, at the first computing device, whether the performance indicator satisfies a performance threshold.

The method finally includes sending a first instruction to a second computing device. The second computing device enables one or more access points to provide mobile communication services to the one or more communication devices.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for sharing timed fingerprint location information. In an aspect, timed fingerprint location information can be associated with a location of a user equipment. This timed fingerprint location information can be shared with other devices. As such, with proper analysis, these other devices can employ the shared timed fingerprint location information to determine their location. In an aspect, the other devices can determine that they are located at the same location as the user equipment. However, a level of error can be inherent in the location determined from shared timed fingerprint location information. In some embodiments, this error can be compensated for.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices, systems, and methods to utilize relative timing offset information reported by one or more mobile devices. When coupled with AGPS information reported by one or more mobile devices, the offset information is be used to calibrate calculations and subsequently to locate all 3G mobiles with GPS-like accuracy, whether or not a GPS receiver is available on said mobile device being located. A determination of a propagation delay between one or more cell sites and a mobile device is reported to a network and used to calibrate unknown information such as a timing offset, to improve the accuracy of a detected location. The relative timing offset can be applied to determine a location for all other mobile devices within the area served by the known base station. The present disclosure utilizes this method in conjunction with information crowd-sourced from a plurality of mobile devices.

Abstract: A radio repeater system is described that disables itself to avoid interfering with mobile network performed multilateration of mobile devices. The radio repeater provides additional network coverage for a localized area. The localized area can include enclosed spaces such as buildings or transportation terminals. The radio repeater system can monitor the signals received from cell towers, and if there are at least three signals of a predetermined signal strength, the radio repeater can disable itself to avoid interfering with mobile locating performed by the network. The radio repeater can remain disabled until the conditions that led to the disabling have passed.

Abstract: Detection and prevention of heavy congestion in a wireless network is disclosed herein. Radio links are monitored and if the number of radio links reaches a first threshold level, one or more network parameters are modified in order shrink a cell footprint and/or to control cell reselection. The monitored radio links can be downlink circuit switched and packet switched radio links. Alternatively or additionally, an uplink noise level can be monitored and if the uplink noise level reaches a second threshold level, the one or more network parameters can be modified, even if the number of radio links are not at the threshold level.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for small-screen movie-watching using a viewport. These techniques enable viewers to experience movies and other media programs using a small screen as a viewport to the movie rather than dramatically compressing or cropping the movie to fit the small screen. A viewer may select whatever portion of the movie imagery he or she desires to experience through the small screen at a size sufficient to perceive details of plot elements and an environment in which the plot elements interact. Thus, the viewer may follow plot elements central to the plot while also exploring the environment that provides context for these plot elements.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling view-driven consumption of frameless media. These techniques and apparatuses provide frameless media and enable a user to engage with the frameless media by orienting a viewing device within the world created by that frameless media. This orienting by the user drives what the user sees in this world and when the user sees it.
