Abstract: Disclosed is a method for assigning a variable Quality of Service (QoS) Class Identifier (QCI) for a call among a plurality of user devices by determining an initial QCI for the call based on one or more metrics related to the plurality of user devices, assigning the initial QCI for the call to the plurality of user devices or to a first user device of the plurality of user devices, determining a second QCI for the call, wherein the second QCI is based on a plurality of user engagement scores and information related to the one or more metrics received from the plurality of user devices, and assigning the second QCI for the call to the plurality of user devices or to the first user device of the plurality of user devices.

Abstract: Methods, servers, and systems enable the management of a group communication session among participants. A server may determine a preemption rank for preempting a floor from a floor-holding participant based on a pre-established relational modifier or an administrative relational modifier. The pre-established relational modifier may be based on whether an individual participant has a pre-established relationship to the floor-holding participant. The administrative relational modifier may be based on an assigned relationship between the individual participant and another participant. The server may process a floor request received from a requesting participant that is not the floor-holding participant. In addition, the server may determine whether to grant the floor request based on the preemption rank of the floor-holding participant and the requesting participant. Further, the server may initiate a request response transmission in response to determining to grant the floor request.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to identifying an object associated with a nearby Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an aspect, a device receives identifying information associated with the nearby IoT device, detects a nearby object in a field of view of a camera application, determines whether or not the nearby object is associated with the nearby IoT device based on the received identifying information, and based on the nearby object being associated with the nearby IoT device, determines that the nearby object corresponds to the object associated with the nearby IoT device.

Abstract: A server conducts a communication session between an originating device and at least one target device via a first duplex characteristic (e.g., half-duplex, full-duplex, media share, etc.). The server monitors a set of session parameters while the communication session has the first duplex characteristic. Based on the monitoring, the server detects one or more changes to at least one session parameter in the set of session parameters. The server automatically determines to transition the communication session from the first duplex characteristic to a second duplex characteristic (e.g., half-duplex, full-duplex, media share, etc.) in response to the detection. The server transitions the communication session from the first duplex characteristic to the second duplex characteristic in response to the determination.
