Abstract: Disclosed aspects and embodiments pertain to conserving power usage during an Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA) measurement session. For example, a server or other network entity may receive information related to a Discontinuous Reception (DRx) or Connected Mode DRx (CDRx) configuration associated with a user equipment (UE) and provide, to the UE, information related to one or more base stations having Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) occasions that coincide with an OFF state associated with the DRx/CDRx configuration. Alternatively and/or additionally, the UE may receive OTDOA assistance information indicating when certain PRS occasions occur and a serving base station or other network entity may provide the UE with a DRx/CDRx configuration having an OFF state that coincides with the PRS occasions. As such, the DRx/CDRx parameters may be exploited to substantially reduce or eliminate measurement gaps and conserve power usage during an OTDOA session.

Abstract: A method for initiating a mobile device action based on a user-defined sequence of events includes maintaining, at the mobile device, data representative of the user-defined sequence of events. The user-defined sequence of events is associated with an action to be performed by the mobile device. The user-defined sequence of events comprises multiple events and a particular order of occurrence of the multiple events in order to trigger the associated action. The method also includes detecting, at the mobile device, a second sequence of events and comparing the second sequence of events to the user-defined sequence of events. The action associated with the user-defined sequence of events is performed in response to the second sequence of events matching the user-defined sequence of events.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate and/or support one or more operations and/or techniques for enhancing positioning assistance data via a mobile device-specific carrier aggregation capability, such as for use in or with mobile communication devices, for example.
