Patent number: 11924702Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for efficiently supporting periodic and triggered location services for a user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation wireless network. A serving core network (CN) node, such as an AMF, receives a request for periodic or triggered location for the UE from another CN entity, such as a GMLC, and transfers the request to a location server, such as an LMF, which initiates and establishes the periodic and triggered location session with the UE. The serving CN node then releases all resources for the location request. The UE monitors for periodic or trigger events and reports each event to a location server which forwards an event report, optionally containing a UE location, to an external client via a CN entity, such as GMLC. The event reporting can be efficient because a serving CN node is not materially involved.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Stephen William Edge

Patent number: 11774541Abstract: Positioning of one or more user equipments (UEs) is performed using broadcast common sounding reference signals (SRS) resources for positioning. The common SRS that is broadcast by a UE is received and measured by one or more base stations and one or more other UEs. The other UEs may have known positions and may server as anchor nodes for positioning. The other UEs may have known positions and may serve as a positioning (anchor) node or may have unknown positions and may be jointly positioned with the target UE. During joint positioning, each of the other UEs may similarly broadcast a common set of SRS that is received and measured by the base stations and other UEs for positioning. An angular measurement of the SRS broadcast by one or more UEs may be measured and used to resolve mirror symmetry in positioning solutions.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Piyush Gupta, Srinivas Yerramalli, Rajat Prakash, Xiaoxia Zhang, Junyi Li, Xiaojie Wang, Marwen Zorgui

Patent number: 11727770Abstract: An emergency evacuation process includes setting at least one emergency refuge area in a place and creating an electronic map based on the disposition of the place. A plurality of door locks mounted in the place is connected with a control device. A gunshot event information containing the gunshot location is sent to a server when a gunshot event is detected. The server indicates the gunshot location and the suggested emergency refuge area on the electronic map. Each person in the place can rapidly know the gunshot location and the emergency refuge area to avoid direct encounter with the gunman.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Inventor: I-Ting Shen

Patent number: 11689367Abstract: There is provided an authentication method and system where protection of user equipment (UE) privacy and network security can be improved. The system includes a third party communicatively trusted by and connected to the UE and one or more network entities, the third party configured to obtain identity information indicative of identity of the UE or the network entities and verify the UE and the network entities on whether the UE and the network entities are authorized to perform communications in the communication network. The third party is further configured to create mapping information, the mapping information including mappings between each identity indicated by the identity information and a respective temporary authentication identifier (ID) and according to the mapping information, transmit the respective temporary authentication ID to each of the UE and the network entities that are verified successfully by the third party.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Bidi Ying, Hang Zhang

Patent number: 11670419Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating operation of a health network control system. In accordance with one or more embodiments, systems described herein can include a processor, and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, can facilitate performance of operations that can include facilitating receiving, from transceiver of a second device, a first signal that can describe an event related to treatment of the treatment subject. Further, the operations can include, based on an analysis of the subject information, the event information and facility information representative of a group of treatment facilities, selecting a treatment facility that can perform the treatment of the treatment subject, resulting in a selected treatment facility, and facilitating communicating via a second signal to the transceiver of the second device, selected facility information corresponding to the selected treatment facility.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Prathima Simha, Benjamin Bell, Craig Leonardi, Robert Sloan, Scott Agnew, Scott Mendoza, Mingwun Li

Patent number: 11627222Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing an emergency incident can include routing a first emergency call and a second emergency call; verifying that the first emergency call and the second emergency call relate to the same emergency incident; establishing a conference bridge between communication terminals of first and second agents who were assigned the first and second calls so the agents are able to communicate via the conference bridge and to merge the first emergency call and the second emergency call that relate to the same emergency incident. If the first and second emergency calls are merged, a message can be sent to a services provider device (e.g. police station device, fire station device, etc.) for handling the emergency incident. A communication apparatus can be provided to implement embodiments of the method as well.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Unify Patente GmbH & Co.
