Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for mobility and collaboration between ultraportable systems. The method includes connecting a plurality of portable communications devices (120) to a first base station (110A) and receiving an indication from a first portable communications device (120A) of the plurality of portable communications devices (120) that the first portable communications device (120 A) is in a coverage area (130B) of a second base station (110B). The method also includes determining a number of portable communications devices (120) connected to the first base station (110A) and determining that the number of portable communications devices (120) connected to the first base station (110A) exceeds a capacity threshold of the first base station (110A). The method further includes instructing the first portable communications device (120) to re-attach to the second base station (110B) in response to determining that the number of portable communications devices (120) exceeds the capacity threshold.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamic optimization of radio access network sites are provided. A wireless communications infrastructure identifies that a piece of user equipment (UE) is connected to a base station associated with a current Radio Access Network (RAN) site that does not have sufficient backhaul resources to support the piece of UE. A target RAN site that has sufficient backhaul resources to support the piece of UE is identified. The target RAN site associated with at least one base station. A Radio Frequency (RF) signal transmitted from at least one of the base station associated with the current RAN site and the at least one base station associated with the target RAN site is modified. The modification causes the piece of UE to handover from the base station associated with the current RAN site to the at least one base station associated with the target RAN site.

Abstract: Techniques for streaming media to a public safety access point without incurring additional user costs are provided. A media stream from a mobile device is received at a communications network. The media stream being streamed from the mobile device to a social media platform in a first format. A request from a Public Safety Access Point to stream the media from the mobile device in a second format is received at the communications network. A request is sent to the mobile device to send the media stream in the second format. The media stream received from the mobile device in the second format is converted to the first format. The media stream received in the second format is sent to the Public Safety Access Point. The converted media stream in the first format is sent to the social media platform.

Abstract: A method is provided that provides information exchange between mobile devices that are near each other. Upon determining that a first mobile device is located near a second mobile device, information is exchanged between a first virtual personal assistant associated with the first mobile device and a second virtual personal assistant associated with the second mobile device. The information is compared to identify an overlapping topic in the information. If there is overlapping information, the users of the mobile devices are alerted to the overlapping topic.

Abstract: The states of multiple buildings are shared via a computer network. State information may include current occupancy and exit location. An electronic representation of a coordinated evacuation plan is generated for the buildings based on the shared state. Generation of the coordinated evacuation plan includes selecting an evacuation zone to receive building occupants. The coordinated evacuation plan is electronically transmitted to an electronic device of a building occupant to facilitate evacuation of the buildings during an incident.
