    Abstract: A mobile communication device. The device comprises a cellular radio transceiver, a GPS receiver, a processor, a memory, and a self-locating application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor the application monitors a received signal strength of the radio transceiver, in response to detecting a rate of cellular radio signal strength increase above a first threshold, obtains GPS coordinates of the device from the GPS receiver and an identity of a serving cell site, stores the GPS coordinates with the identity of the serving cell site in the memory, and in response to detecting a rate of cellular radio signal strength decrease below a second predefined threshold and determining that the cellular radio transceiver is served by the serving cell site associated with the GPS coordinates stored in the memory, determines that the device is at the location associated with the GPS coordinates stored in the memory.

    Abstract: A method of replicating a UNIX password from a source computer to a delimited set of target computers performed by an application executing on a computer system. The method comprises receiving an identity of a source computer, determining a date of a UNIX password associated with a user identity configured on the source computer, determining that the UNIX password associated with the user identity configured on the source computer is less than a predefined number of days old, receiving identities of a plurality of target computers, reading an encrypted UNIX password associated with the user identity from the source computer, and, for each of the target computers, writing the encrypted UNIX password into an entry associated to the user identity in a password file on the target computer.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting the beamform of an antenna array. A first beamform produced by an emission from a first antenna and an emission from a second antenna are determined, each of the first antenna and the second antenna having separate power supplies. Positions of user devices served by the cell of the antenna array are determined and compared to the first beamform. If it is determined that a second beamform would provide better coverage to any one or more of the user devices served by the cell, any one or more of the power supplies to individual antennas may be modified. Any one or more power supplies may utilize changes in the phase and/or amplitude of the power supplied to an antenna to change the emission of at least one antenna, producing a second beamform. The second beamform, in particular, may permit dynamic targeting of various vertical distributions of user devices within the cell.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, systems and methods disclosed herein relate to a mobile mixed reality platform that enables users in different physical locations in a building, city, state, or across the world to interact in a shared virtual environment during an interactive session. This virtual environment enables the sharing and generation of virtual elements such as documents and three-dimensional models, and immerses the users in the environment with wearable technology so that the users have an experience that mirrors real-time interactions in situations including professional meetings, training, and other interactions that involve parties from different physical locations who desire to have a shared, immersive, virtual environment for interaction.

    Abstract: A minimization drive test (MDT) selection server computer. The server comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory; and an MDT selection application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor the MDT selection application receives a mobile communication device selection criteria, where the criteria identifies a device candidate profile, determines a degree of match of a plurality of MDT candidate mobile communication devices to the device candidate profile, selects a population of mobile communication devices to perform the MDT based at least in part on the degree of match of the mobile communication devices to the device candidate profile, and causes the selected population of mobile communication devices to perform the MDT.

    Abstract: A geolocating method to determine a traffic flow at a point-of-interest (POI). The method comprises clustering geolocation data associated with a plurality of mobile communication devices by an analysis application executing on a computer system based on different clustering algorithms associated with different travel modes identified by the geolocation data, for each of the plurality of mobile communication devices, determining travel routes traversed by the mobile communication device by the analysis application based on the clustering of the geolocation data and based on a map of travel routes, where each of the travel routes is one of a highway travel route, a light rail travel route, or a footpath travel route, and, for each of a plurality of POIs, determining by the analysis application a number of different mobile communication devices that intersect with the POI based on the travel routes traversed by the mobile communication devices.

    Abstract: A method of determining presence of mobile communication devices at points-of-interest. The method comprises analyzing location data of a mobile communication device by a clustering application executing on a computer system, determining clusters of the location data by the clustering application, determining cluster centroids by the clustering application, determining a plurality of routes traveled by the device by a routing application based on the centroids, analyzing the centroids and the routes by a patterning application, determining a pattern of association between the centroids and the routes by the patterning application, observing a previously determined pattern of centroids by the patterning application, and based on observing the previously determined pattern of centroids, determining a route traveled by the device by the patterning application, whereby an instance of determining the route traveled by the device by the routing application is avoided.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for dynamically delaying a calibration of an antenna. It is determined that there is a quantity of user devices above a predetermined threshold on a particular sector of an antenna associated with the base station, or that there is a quantity of user devices above a predetermined threshold in an MU-MIMO group on the particular sector of the antenna. Further, it is determined that there is an upcoming scheduled calibration event of the antenna, and based on the upcoming scheduled calibration event and the occurrence, the upcoming scheduled calibration event of the antenna is delayed or postponed.
