Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing emergency personnel and other users access to a communications network during an emergency situation, event, or scenario. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide mobile devices with access to a communications network during an emergency situation, by receiving, at an access point to the communications network, a request from a mobile device to connect to the communications network via the access point, determining the request includes user credentials associated with authorizing a user of the mobile device to use services provided by the communications network during the emergency situation, and connecting the mobile device to the communications network via the access point based on the user credentials.

Abstract: A roaming wireless user device on a Visited Public Land Mobile Network (VPLMN) may initiate a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) emergency call to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Accordingly, a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) of the VPLMN may receive an anonymous Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite message for the LTE emergency call. The anonymous SIP invite message lacks a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) of the wireless user device but has an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the wireless user device. The anonymous SIP invite message is forwarded to a Location Retrieval Function (LRF) in a Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC) of the VPLMN. The LRF obtains a MSISDN of the wireless user device that matches the IMEI in the anonymous SIP invite message from a database of the GMLC, such that the MSISDN is routed with the LTE emergency call to the PSAP.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining whether a mobile device is located indoors or outdoors. In some embodiments, a mobile device may utilize a fusion of the information from multiple sensors, such as a RGB sensor, a proximity sensor, a light intensity sensor, and a WiFi radio, to determine whether the mobile device is located indoors or outdoors.

Abstract: A facility for determining the location of a mobile device when a location determination of a desired accuracy is desired. If available, the facility determines the location of the mobile device using a device-based technique or using a location determination technique that is accessible over a macronetwork. Macronetworks are networks that are designed to cover relatively large areas. If a location determination technique of desired accuracy is not available on the device or over a macronetwork, the facility attempts to use a location determination technique that is accessible over a micronetwork to determine the location of the mobile device. Micronetworks are networks that are designed to cover smaller areas. By forcing a switch from a macronetwork-based location determination technique to a micronetwork-based location determination technique, the facility ensures that a location determination is made for the mobile device of a desired accuracy, time to fix (TTF), and/or yield.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology for managing signal distribution and lab resources in design validation environments that replicate a type of communication signal a consumer can experience on a wireless provider's network. For example, the validation environment will enable engineers to test VoLTE in an LTE for various smart phone designs and other network-based signals from various hardware combinations and suppliers. Additionally, various embodiments of the present technology provide for an automation framework that allows for efficient management of signal distribution, resource allocation, scheduling, and more.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing incentives to prepaid customers of mobile devices, such as customers of services for mobile devices (e.g., voice, text, and/or data services) provided by a telecommunications carrier, in order to retain these customers, are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods include a renewal event module that accesses information associated with a renewal event performed by a mobile device customer of a current prepaid service plan, a reward determination module that determines a reward to provide to the mobile device customer in response to the a renewal event performed by the mobile device customer, and a reward provision module that provides the determined reward to the mobile device customer. Further details are described herein.

Abstract: A system and method to allow a disabled device to receive an incoming communication after the termination of an emergency communication session with a service provider. A disabled device is a device having a portion of its service plan that allows the device to send or receive communications either temporarily or permanently disabled. In some embodiments, the system allows the disabled device to receive all incoming communications during a defined period of time after the emergency communication session. In some embodiments, the system allows the disabled device to receive all incoming communications from numbers or URIs contained in a repository of allowed numbers. In some embodiments, the system allows the disabled device to receive all incoming communications if the service provider initiating the communication enters an authenticated routing key or passcode.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the systems and methods obtain parameters for a set of mobile devices (or, other items), such as volume information, price information, and perceived value information for each mobile device within the set of mobile devices. The set of mobile devices may be a tier of substitute mobile devices that each affect consumer demand of other mobile devices within the set of mobile devices. The systems and methods may then determine substitution factors for the obtained parameters associated with the set of mobile devices, generate a substitution forecast for the set of mobile devices that is based on the substitution factors determined for the obtained parameters associated with the mobile devices, and determine a consensus forecast for the set of mobile devices that adjusts a baseline forecast for the demand of the set of mobile devices using the substitution forecast.
