  • Patent number: 12181599
    Abstract: Techniques for Enhanced 911 (E911) location for dense cell network meshes are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a system comprising a processor via a communication network comprising first network cells listed in a neighboring cell list of a user equipment, coverage area information for the first network cells, wherein the coverage area information comprises respective reported positions of the first network cells and respective coverage radii of the first network cells; determining, by the system based on the coverage area information for the first network cells, a first area in which respective coverage areas of the first network cells overlap; and defining, by the system, an estimated position of the user equipment as a selected position within the first area.

  • Publication number: 20230056096
    Abstract: A mobile cell (mCell) for use in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The mCell may include a wireless network cell node attached to a mobile carrier. The mCell may have one or more processors operable to: assign physical cell identity (PCI) and root sequence index (RSI) for allowing the mCell to join the network in a plug-and-play manner and to maintain connectivity with the system while moving; provide wireless application access for user equipment (UE) and wireless data relay and xHaul for neighboring cells nodes while the mCell is moving; and communicatively couple with other cells and network elements of the system, thereby forming a mesh network for extending and enhancing wireless communication within the system.
