Abstract: Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services may be provided to a roaming mobile device, even when the home network of the mobile device does not provide VoLTE service. In one implementation, one or more devices in a network may determine based on a mobile device attaching to a network as a roaming device for the network, a home network of the mobile device. The devices may further determine whether the home network, associated with the mobile device, provides VoLTE services; transmit, based on the determination that the home network does not provide VoLTE services, a VoLTE client application to the mobile device, the VoLTE client application providing functionality, for the mobile device, relating to usage of VoLTE services in the network. The devices may further communicate with the mobile device and the VoLTE client application, to provide one or more VoLTE services to the mobile device.

Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on content items being accessed by a plurality of UE devices through a first multicast/broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN). The reporting server determines, for each content item being accessed, which of the UE devices is accessing the content item. The UE devices are then grouped by the accessed content items such that at least one content item is accessed by a first group of UE devices and not accessed by a second group of UE devices. The reporting server then sends data representing the first and second groups to a broadcast video provisioning system (BVPS) with a recommendation to split the MBSFN into second and third MBSFNs. In another implementation, the reporting server receives reports from fourth and fifth MBSFNs and recommends joining the fourth and fifth MBSFNs to form a sixth MBSFN if broadcast bandwidth requirements are met.

Abstract translation: 报告服务器通过第一多播/广播单频网络（MBSFN）接收由多个UE设备正在访问的内容项目的报告。 对于正在被访问的每个内容项目，报告服务器确定哪个UE设备正在访问该内容项目。 然后，UE设备被所访问的内容项目分组，使得至少一个内容项目被第一组UE设备访问，并且不被第二组UE设备访问。 然后，报告服务器将表示第一组和第二组的数据发送到广播视频供应系统（BVPS），建议将MBSFN分为第二和第三MBSFN。 在另一实现中，报告服务器从第四和第五MBSFN接收报告，并建议加入第四和第五MBSFN以形成第六MBSFN，如果满足广播带宽要求。

Abstract: A mobile device stores a service-creation application and presents, via the service-creation application, a user interface to solicit a service definition for client mobile devices. The mobile device stores a service-engine for providing the service and announces availability of the service to the client mobile devices. The mobile device receives, in response to the announcing, a registration request from one of the client mobile devices and validates the registration request. The mobile device then provides, to the one of the client mobile devices, the service via the service engine.

Abstract: A first device may receive data associated with a second device from within a first network and independently of a second network. The second device may include a sensor or an application to form or process a data record. The first device may establish a bearer between the first device and a particular user device, of multiple user devices, in accordance with a bearer policy; and provide the data towards the particular user device via a first sub-network, of multiple sub-networks, of the second network and via the bearer. The first sub-network may be independent of a second sub-network of the multiple sub-networks. The second sub-network may permit user device data to be transmitted between the multiple user devices. The first sub-network and the second sub-network may consume different levels of network resources.
