Publication number: 20240114593Abstract: Techniques for determining contact information for an anonymous device on a telecommunications network are described herein. The telecommunications network can implement a server to determine data representing a callback number or other subscriber information for a user equipment (UE) associated with an anonymous status. The server can generate a request for the data based on identifying an anonymous status associated with a message from the UE. The server can request the data from a gateway mobile location center (GMLC) of the telecommunications network using a Representational State Transfer (REST) interface. The server can establish a communication session for the UE by sending the callback number and/or the subscriber information to an emergency service center (e.g., to enable a Public Service Answering Point to communicate with the UE if the communication session is lost).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Nassereddine Sabeur, Raymond Thomas Ball, Hichem Zait, Joel Arends

Publication number: 20240071196Abstract: An apparatus, including a drone which is assigned to a venue and programmed or configured for flight, navigation, or operation, within an interior of the venue. The drone is activated upon an occurrence of a drone activation event, and the drone flies or navigates inside the venue in response to the drone activation event. The drone finds or locates an individual or an animal inside the venue, and initiates a communication link with a communication device, wherein the communication device is located at a location remote from the venue. An audio recording device or a video recording device of or at the drone records audio information or video information, and the drone transmits the audio information or the video information to the communication device or to a computer. The computer is located at a location remote from the venue.

Publication number: 20240022551Abstract: System and methods for inter-network user equipment (UE) registration are described herein. A managed access system (MAS) network may receive a request for services from an unauthorized UE and may generate a registration request that it transmits to the UE's home network using a call session control function (CSCF) and the Cx interface. One or more diameter routing agents on the path between the MAS network and the destination network may determine whether the registration request was received on the Cx network and if not, may discard the message. Other criteria may also be used to determine whether to forward such requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2022Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Prannoy Kiran Saride, Raymond Thomas Ball, Kenroy Dwight Shaw
