Abstract: During a positioning session between a user equipment (UE) and a location server, the location server may send the base station a request to suspend the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the UE. For example, the location server may send a request to the base station recommending suspension of the connection or may provide an indication of the amount of time during which position related messages between the UE and the location server are not expected. The base station may determine whether to suspend the connection with the UE, thereby placing the UE in an inactive state based on the information provided. The base station may further determine whether to suspend the connection based on data activity of the UE. While in an inactive state, the UE and base station store UE connection context, which may be used to quickly resume the connection.

Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.

Abstract: A communication system including a UE, a base station, and a PLMN is disclosed. The UE may access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite. The UE may select a preferred PLMN for each of multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The UE may transmit, to the base station via the radio cell and the communication satellite, an indication of the preferred PLMN for each of the multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The base station may attempt to determine a current geographic location of the UE. The base station may determine a serving PLMN as the preferred PLMN for the current geographic location of the UE and may later determine a second PLMN if the current geographic location changes. The base station determination may not be visible to the UE which may reduce UE signaling and resource usage.
