Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating multi-tasking and smart location selection during connected-mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) mode are disclosed herein. Example techniques disclosed herein enable a UE to perform multiple tasks during a same SSBS to reduce the number of wake-up SSBSs. For example, disclosed techniques enable a UE to perform RLM tasks and loop tracking tasks during a first SSBS and thereby reduce the number of wake-up SSBSs. In some examples, the UE may also perform the search task or the measurement task during the same first SSBS and, thereby, further reduce the number of wake-up SSBSs. Example techniques disclosed herein may also enable the UE to select which SSBS occurrences to wake-up for during the OFF duration of the CDRX cycle.

Abstract: An automated method of purchasing kiosk items, where a toll call from a variety of typically mobile appliances (i.e. cell phone, PDA, tablet PC, personal desktop or laptop computer, etc.) activates an apparatus that causes the automated kiosk to fulfill demanded items upon successful validation and billing via an interface to a telecommunications network. A mobile phone can therefore be billed by dialing a “1-900” type toll number and specify the desired product via touch tone commands, or by similarly “texting” the order to a designated telecommunications recipient. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a means to provide maintenance and diagnostics and services so as to minimize operating costs of the kiosk system, along with necessary management services such as inventory control. The kiosk can be interfaced with the telecommunications network in a variety of ways, such as, but not limited to POTS modem for twisted pair copper, DSL modem for twisted pair copper, Ethernet controller for CAT-5, etc.
