Abstract: Device and/or line event awareness and smart synchronization is described. In at least one example, a related device of a group of related devices may receive a communication notification representative of a communication event. Such communication notifications may enable event awareness for each of the devices in the group of related devices. In an example, the related device may compare data items (e.g., participants, timestamps, etc.) associated with the communication notification with data items associated with entries stored in a local data store. The entries may correspond to communication events associated with at least the related device. Based at least in part on comparing the data items, the related device may determine whether a new entry associated with the communication notification should be added to a local data store or the communication notification should be disregarded as a duplication.

Abstract: A unified device design is described. In an example, a user device can be designed to be permissibly operable with at least two different service providers such that the user device is associated with static features that are applicable for each of the at least two different service providers and the dynamic features that are applicable for individual ones of the at least two different service providers. In an example, a user device can be associated with a subscriber identity module (SIM) that is associated with a service provider. Based at least in part on using a permission to determine that the service provider is one of the at least two different service providers, a subset of dynamic features that are associated with the service provider can be accessed for configuring the user device with the subset of the dynamic features corresponding to the service provider.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for applying a selective automated response to a distress call received at an emergency services system. The techniques include receiving a distress call from a user device in response to an emergency event. The distress call may be parsed to identify a location, an urgency index, and a nature of the emergency event. The distress call may be routed to an available dispatcher at a dispatcher terminal. Based at least on the location, the urgency index, and the nature of the emergency event, a response procedure to resolve the distress call may be identified. The dispatcher may communicate with a dispatched first responder at the location via a communication channel established between the dispatcher terminal and a mobile first responder terminal. The response procedure may be transmitted to the mobile first responder terminal.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to handover between Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) networks. An example method includes receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), a measurement report indicating that a signal threshold has been satisfied. In response to receiving the measurement report, handover of a communication session from a first core network to a second core network may be initiated. A message confirming that the communication session has been handed over from the first core network to the second core network can be received. In response to receiving the message, handover of the communication session can be initiated between a single radio bearer associated with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a dual radio bearer associated with the first RAT and a second RAT.

Abstract: A network base station can select, for each of one or more attached terminals, a respective downlink transmission mode (DTM) based at least in part on respective channel condition information (CCI). The base station can determine a subframe allocation of DTMs to subframes of a radio frame, and transmit downlink data to terminals based the subframe allocation. Additionally or alternatively, the base station can receive load information from a second base station associated with a different access network and determine the subframe allocation based on the load information. The subframe allocation can associate a specific access network with each subframe. Additionally or alternatively, the base station can send the subframe allocation to the second base station. Additionally or alternatively, the base station can determine a proportion of GBR traffic of a particular DTM, determine a reference-signal transmission rate associated with that DTM, and transmit reference signals accordingly.

Abstract: Non-text content may be exchanged in real time text (RTT) messages over a telecommunications network as part of an enhanced RTT (eRTT) service. A first UE can receive, from a second UE over a telecommunications network, capability information indicating whether the second UE is capable of exchanging text content and/or non-text content via RTT messages. Using this capability information, the first UE may determine whether to enable eRTT functionality on the first UE by determining whether to display a user interface element(s) in a selectable state on the display next to a RTT conversation window. The selectable user interface element(s), upon selection, allows a user of the first UE to create new non-text content, or select particular non-text content from available non-text content, for inclusion in a RTT message. The first UE may thereafter send non-text content in the RTT message to the second UE.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices can be used to perform service-aware utilization of shared wireless resources. In various instances, a quality metric (e.g., a Bit Error Rate (BER)) of a shared wireless resource is determined. Requested services can be provided based at least partly on the quality metric and the type of services being requested. For example, when the quality metric exceeds a threshold and the requested services are for Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive services (e.g., Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) services), the services can be provided at least partially via a licensed wireless resource. However, when the quality metric does not exceed the threshold, and/or the requested services are for non-QoS-sensitive services (e.g., non-GBR services), the services can be provided via the shared wireless resource.

The first device retrieves information for one or more related devices that utilize the same telephone number the first device for sending and receiving at least cellular communications via the cellular network. The first device enables sharing of the content with at least one related device of the one or more related devices.

Abstract: Techniques for presenting a symbol on a display of a wireless device indicative of wireless resources based on network states and device states are discussed herein. For example, the network state may indicate whether the wireless device is operating in a cellular network that has areas of dual signal coverage. A device state may include whether the device is actively communicating via a connection or is idle. The techniques may further determine a frequency of wireless resources associated with the dual connectivity environment. A network identifier can be presented via a display of the wireless device. Network identifiers might include, for example, symbols that indicate 3G, 4G, LTE, 5G, dual connectivity, and so forth, corresponding to different wireless network standards and/or connections.

Abstract: A modified telecommunications system is provided herein in which UEs can be associated with a user account using information other than SIM card data or a username and password combination. For example, when a subscriber activates a user account, the subscriber may be requested to provide a signature. A signature can include a unique PIN, a sample voice command, a fingerprint, a retinal scan, and/or the like. The signature may be stored in a data store in an entry corresponding to the user account. To associate a UE with a user account, the subscriber can provide a signature via the UE. The UE can then transmit the provided signature and a UE address to a management system. The management system can then store the UE address in the data store in an entry associated with the user account that corresponds with the provided signature.

Abstract: A cellular communication device is configured to use Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) for communicating with a cellular communication network using 4th-Generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5th-Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) radio access technologies. In NSA mode, the device may receive separate transmit power control commands for LTE and NR transmissions, respectively. In some situations, the cellular communication device may be commanded to use LTE and NR transmit powers that when combined would exceed regulatory limits or performance limits. In these situations, LTE and NR uplink transmissions are scheduled to implement time-division multiplexing, so that the LTE and NR uplink transmissions occur during different time intervals rather than concurrently.

Abstract: User devices can include a lifestyle analyzer component to capture user data to monitor health conditions of the user to provide a personalized lifestyle manager. In some instances, health data from a wearable device can be cross correlated to other application data such as calendar items, communications, location data, social media data, and financial data. Based on negative health metrics (e.g., stress level increase, sleep deprivation, etc.), the lifestyle manager may provide directives to automatically manage communications, schedules, and/or tasks. The user device can capture user data and transmit the data to a serving device to aggregate the data. The serving device can use the aggregated data to perform lifestyle analysis to generate directives for lifestyle management and rules to implement the directives. If the user accepts a directive, the lifestyle manager may implement the rules on a user device.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a system and method for scheduling downlink transmissions and for granting uplink frequency resources to a user device such that concurrent transmissions and receptions by the user device, or multiple concurrent transmissions and receptions by the user device, does not lead to deleterious intermodulation distortion or at least minimizes the extent of any such resulting intermodulation distortion.

Abstract: Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to selecting and attaching to different cells within wireless communication networks when multiple cells are available. An electronic device determines that a 5G new radio (NR) radio access topology and a non-standalone radio access topology are available within a wireless communication network. The electronic device obtains a bandwidth index for the NR radio access topology and a bandwidth index for the non-standalone radio access topology and compares the two bandwidth indices. Based at least in part on results of the comparison, the electronic device selects one of either (i) the NR radio access topology or (ii) the non-standalone radio access topology and attaches to the selected topology.
