Abstract:
Examples are provided that enable a cellular network location assist to confirm a position determined using a sensor of a mobile device. As a result of global positioning system signals becoming unavailable due to the mobile device traveling indoors, the mobile device implements a sensor-based position determination that provides a position of the mobile device as the mobile device travels about a location. In order to confirm the reliability of the sensor-based position determination, the mobile device, after passage of time or after traveling some estimated distance, requests location assistance indications from the cellular network. A processor of the mobile device receives the location assistance indications and generates a directional vector based on several of the location assistance indications. Using the directional vector, the processor confirms the reliability of the dead reckoning position.
Abstract:
A user equipment transmits user equipment information, associated with a communication of the user equipment, to permit a base station to select a first bandwidth part, a second bandwidth part, or a third bandwidth part. The user equipment is configured to communicate by the first bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part, and the third bandwidth part. The user equipment receives, from the base station, an instruction to monitor the first bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part, or the third bandwidth part. The instruction is selected based on the user equipment information. The user equipment monitors, based on the instruction, the first bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part, or the third bandwidth part.
Abstract:
A system described herein may provide a technique for the selection of On Durations, Off Durations, and associated timers for monitoring of downlink traffic for a User Equipment (“UE”). For example, the UE may monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (“PDCCH”) according to a first set of On and Off Durations associated with a particular profile selected for the UE, and monitor the PDCCH according to a second set of On and Off Durations associated with the particular profile upon expiration of a timer associated with the first set of On and Off Durations. Machine learning or other suitable techniques may be used to refine the selection of On/Off Durations and associated timers in an ongoing process.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are provided to provide an active coordinator service in a sensor network, analyze maintenance information that indicates a battery level of a device, determine whether the device can continue to provide the active coordinator service; request maintenance information from another network device in the sensor network when the battery level does not satisfy a threshold level, determine whether the other network device can provide the active coordinator service based on its maintenance information, cease providing the active coordinator service when the other network device can provide the active coordinator service, in which a long-range wireless communication interface is turned off, and enable an IoT service that includes turning on a sensor, generating sensor information, and transmitting the sensor information to the other network device.

Abstract:
A mobile device may include a smart card interface to connect to a smart card storing a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) profile including a network access credential; a communication interface to connect to a wireless mobile network; and a processing unit to receive user input to delete the MNO profile from the smart card, send, to a network node, a request for deletion of the MNO profile, receive, responsive to the request, a deletion code including a deletion code signature, a smart card identifier (ID) that identifies the smart card, and a profile ID that identifies the MNO profile, extract, from the deletion code, the deletion code signature, the smart card ID, or the profile ID, validate the deletion code signature, the smart card ID, or the profile ID, and delete the MNO profile upon validation of the deletion code signature, the smart card ID, or the profile ID.
Abstract:
Examples of power conservation management for user equipment based on the operating state of the user equipment are provided. A user equipment may implement a power managing application that monitors the activity of the user equipment, such as the number of applications open on the user equipment, the data usage requirements for each open application, data delay tolerances for each application and/or a level of user interaction with the device at a given moment. Based on the level of activity and the data requirements, the managing application on the user equipment is able to make a discontinuous reception profile setting recommendation selected from more than two discontinuous reception profiles to the mobile communications network entity. In response to the discontinuous reception profile setting recommendation, the network entity may modify the connection status with the user equipment.
Abstract:
A serving gateway device (SGW) can cause establishment of a requested connection to a first PDN for a user device. The SGW can cause suspension of the connection to the first PDN and establishment of a requested connection to a second PDN for the user device based on a requested connection to a second PDN for a user device. The SGW can cause termination of the connection to the second PDN based on the respective end time associated with the second PDN, and cause restoration of the connection to the first PDN after the connection to the second PDN is terminated.
