Abstract: A cellular device connects with a network of base stations. Each base station covers a corresponding service area, and broadcasts unique identifying information in a standard manner. A portable computing platform is used as a POI database and server for the cellular device, and establishes a communications link with the cellular device. A trip scheduler is provided in the cellular device that interfaces with the POI database server over the communications link to enable a user to extract POI data from the POI database. The POI data includes a POI identifier for a POI, and a related base station identifier that uniquely identifies a target base station having a service area that covers the POI. The cellular device monitors base stations to determine when the cellular device enters into the service area of the target base station, and then provides an alert to the user indicative of the POI.

Abstract: A method of locating a mobile station that is turned off. The method includes turning off the mobile station while keeping a battery of the mobile station intact in the mobile station. The mobile station enters a soft power-off mode after the mobile station has been turned off if the battery of the mobile station has sufficient energy. The mobile station receives paging request messages from at least one base station and the mobile station measures RSSI levels for received paging request messages. The mobile station then selects a current base station for which the mobile station measures a strongest RSSI level. The mobile station handshakes with the current base station to enable the mobile station to camp on the current base station. Next, the mobile station reports its location to the current base station and the current base station informs authorities of the location of the mobile station.

Abstract: A method for receiving public broadcast services with a wireless device compatible with the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) protocol is disclosed. The method includes performing a radio frequency (RF) scan on all frequencies in at least one predetermined frequency band to identify all possible Broadcast Control Channels (BCCHs), measuring Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) levels for each BCCH, and sorting the BCCHs according to the corresponding RSSI levels. The wireless device next selects a BCCH having a strongest average RSSI level and camps on a cell corresponding to the selected BCCH. The wireless device is then able to receive GSM public broadcast services from a mobile phone network operating the selected BCCH irrespective of whether the wireless device subscribes to the mobile phone network.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for using location-based information to determine whether to perform a ranging procedure. A change in location of a device is identified. The identified change in location represents the distance the device has moved during an interval between ranging procedures. The identified change in location is analyzed to determine whether the change exceeds a threshold distance. If the change in location does not satisfy the threshold distance, a change in a signal quality metric of the device from the location associated with the previously performed ranging procedure to the current location is identified. The identified change in signal quality metric is analyzed to determine whether the change exceeds a threshold value. If the change in location of the device is less than the threshold distance and the change in the signal quality metric is less than the threshold value, the next scheduled ranging procedure is bypassed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for concurrently performing handoff-related measurements for neighbor cells using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna resources. In one example, a mobile device is in communication with a serving cell. Handoff-related measurements of first wireless signals from a first neighbor cell are performed. The first wireless signals are received at first MIMO antenna resources of a device. Handoff-related measurements of second wireless signals from a second neighbor cell are performed, as well. The second wireless signals are received at second MIMO antenna resources concurrently with the first wireless signals received at the first MIMO antenna resources. The first handoff-related measurements and the second handoff-related measurements may be performed during a scan interval. A type of handoff-related measurement to perform may be determined based on a determined length of the scan interval.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure present methods and apparatus for resolving conflict between paging intervals of two different networks. For certain aspects, a multimode mobile station (MS) may select a network for monitoring based on a predefined criterion. For an aspect, the multimode MS may select a network whose paging interval starts earlier or a network whose paging interval finishes earlier. The multimode MS may also select a network that has a higher signal quality, or higher radio access technology (RAT)-based priority. In another aspect, if the multimode MS uses multiple input multiple output (MIMO), the multimode MS may split its available resources (e.g., receive chains) to simultaneously monitor paging signals transmitted by both networks.

Abstract translation: 本公开的某些方面提出了用于解决两个不同网络的寻呼间隔之间的冲突的方法和装置。 对于某些方面，多模移动台（MS）可以基于预定准则来选择用于监视的网络。 对于一个方面，多模MS可以选择其寻呼间隔开始更早的网络或其寻呼间隔更早完成的网络。 多模MS还可以选择具有较高信号质量或更高无线电接入技术（RAT）优先级的网络。 在另一方面，如果多模式MS使用多输入多输出（MIMO），则多模式MS可以分割其可用资源（例如，接收链）以同时监视由两个网络发送的寻呼信号。
