  • Publication number: 20190182746
    Abstract: A mobile device includes a processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to effectuate operations. The operations include determining that the mobile device does not meet a camping threshold for a cell of a network, determining that the mobile device is synchronized with the cell, and permitting a limited network communication between the mobile device and the network via the cell. The limited network communication may be limited to text-only communications, emergency communications, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20180089984
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for determining a level of degradation of flexible circuitry. In an embodiment, a flexible substrate has disposed therein first circuitry and one or more components coupled thereto, the one or more components to monitor a physical property of the first circuitry. Further disposed in or on the flexible substrate are memory resources to store predefined reference information which corresponds amounts of the physical property each with a different respective level of degradation. Evaluation logic accesses the reference information to determine, based on a detected amount of the physical property, a level of degradation of second circuitry. In another embodiment, the second circuitry is more flexible, as compared to the first circuitry.

  • Patent number: 9918259
    Abstract: Aspects relate to automatically establishing neighbor relations for adjacent sectors based on one or more network events. The neighbor relations can be established between sectors that can be identified as inter-frequency neighbors or intra-frequency neighbors. In an aspect, the network events can be active call data events received from one or more mobile devices. The active call data events can be radio access bearer establishments and internal system releases. In another aspect, the network events can be idle call data events received from one or more mobile devices. If a first event ended on a first sector and a second event started on a second sector before expiration of an interval that started when the first event ended, the first sector and second sector can be defined as neighbors.
