Abstract: Network insights may be useful in various communication networks. For example, certain cellular or similar networks may benefit from the delivery of cellular network insights to subscriber devices based on virtual international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). For example, a method can include detecting, by a device, at least one paging message over a cellular system. The method can also include extracting, from the at least one paging message, at least one cellular network insight including at least one cellular network condition. The paging message may include a virtual IMSI.

Abstract: These teachings present a new minimization of drive test MDT mode which is valid when the user equipment UE is in an idle state and in a connected state and across the state transitions. The extended logged MDT configuration according to this mode may be configured for the UE by the network, or autonomously by the UE itself. In some embodiments it is associated with the UE reporting its preference for power optimized configuration indication. Some embodiments have a minimum threshold to assure any MDT report from this mode has a sufficient volume of data or sufficient number of data points logged, and so is well suited for smart phones with always-on applications. The parameters such as logging periodicity can differ between the idle and connected state even for a given extended logged MDT configuration.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate correlation of failure reports. For example, communication systems of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) may benefit from correlating radio link failure and minimization of drive test reports, particularly with respect to self-organized networks mobility robustness optimization.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method for collecting RLF data in a wireless network. The method may include receiving, by a first radio access node, RLF data related to a connection failure experienced by a UE. The method may then include determining whether the RLF data satisfies at least one condition and, when it is determined that the RLF data satisfies the at least one condition, sending the RLF data to at least one of a second radio access node and an RLF data collection entity. In one embodiment, the RLF data may be received from a second radio access node or the UE.

The one or more conditions include one or both of: a duration the user equipment is connected to a first cell served by the first base station, prior to handover from the first cell to a second cell served by a second base station, is less than a threshold; or the signal strength of the second cell as measured by the user equipment and reported to the first base station is better than a signal strength of the first cell for a threshold duration of time.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for handover management. A serving base station identifies one more candidate base stations as candidates to receive a handover of a user device and selects a target base station to receive the access request from the user device. The serving base station prepares the candidate base stations to receive the user device's access request and sends a connection reestablishment command to the user device, identifying the target base station by physical cell identifier and frequency. The user device synchronizes to the target base station identified by the physical cell identifier and frequency and performs a connection reestablishment request procedure with respect to the target base station.

Abstract: A network node receiving a preference for a power optimized configuration for a user equipment (UE) can in response change the UE's minimization of drive test (MDT) configuration to conserve UE power. For example, this change can be from immediate reporting of MDT measurements to connected mode logging MDT measurements or no reporting of MDT measurements; or to a longer interval for reporting them, or to drop the reporting of available location information with MDT measurements. Other teachings have actions by the UE, autonomous of the network, to conserve power. A UE receiving a MDT configuration having an MDT measurement reporting or logging interval, and also one or both of a discontinuous reception or paging configuration having a DRX/paging interval can adapt the MDT configuration autonomously of the network to conserve its battery power.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing user data privacy are described. Upon identification of a user device as a candidate for performing data collection relating to network performance experienced by the device, a network operator on whose behalf the data collection is to be performed is identified, and user consent information associated with the user device is examined to determine if a user of the device has given consent for data collection on behalf of the network operator. If the user has given consent, the user device is configured for data collection.

Abstract: An electroencephalogram (EEG) utilizing epileptiform activity detection, warning and recording system adapted for use by non-healthcare professionals or healthcare professionals. The system is simple enough for use by untrained personnel and will be self-contained, not requiring technical setup or point of use maintenance. The system includes a small number of passive or active scalp electrodes for capturing the electrical signals in the subject's brain allowing for detection of epileptiform activity. The system will recognize epileptiform activity and will either transmit signals upon detection of epileptiform activity to either a localized warning device or to a cellular or radio receiving device. The system will note epileptiform activity in a recording component and allow for review of the epileptiform data to allow non-clinical and clinical personnel to verify such activity.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing delivery of data to a device are described. Conditions are analyzed relating to delivery of data to a wireless communication device and, based on the analysis, needed adjustments are made to data delivery, such as pre-delivering data before it is needed. The analysis may include analysis of channel conditions and estimates of user behavior, such as stopping consumption of data—as in the case of a user watching a video and abandoning the video before it is finished.
