Abstract:
A base station may include one or more processors to receive repetitive data transmitted using a set of subcarriers of a physical resource block (PRB); apply a first orthogonal pattern, assigned to a first user equipment (UE), to a segment of subframes of the received repetitive data; apply a second orthogonal pattern, assigned to a second UE, to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data, the second orthogonal pattern being different from the first orthogonal pattern; determine first repetitive data, transmitted by the first UE using the set of subcarriers, based on applying the first orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data; and/or determine second repetitive data, transmitted by the second UE using the set of subcarriers, based on applying the second orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data.

Abstract:
A mobile device may receive user input for requesting personal information for a subject in proximity of a mobile device and based on the user input, selecting one of available functions. The functions may include a first function for obtaining personal information using a first identifier. The functions may also include a second function for obtaining the personal information using the first identifier. The mobile device may output the personal information as an image to a display or as speech to speaker.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a network control component, an enhanced subscriber profile identifier (E-SPID) associated with at least one machine type communications (MTC) user device from a home subscriber server (HSS). The method includes determining whether the E-SPID is in a first range of E-SPID values, wherein the first range of E-SPID values corresponds to a delay that exceeds a threshold, and interacting with a self-organizing network (SON) controller that interacts an operation administration maintenance (OAM) component to control and define a modified E-SPID based on network traffic and coverage in response to a determination that the E-SPID is in the first range of E-SPID values. The method further includes sending the modified E-SPID to at least one enhanced evolved node b (eNodeB) associated with the at least one MTC user device, wherein the at least one enhanced eNodeB is operable to perform access control and scheduling for the at least one MTC user device based on the E-SPID.
Abstract:
A base station may include logic configured to determine system throughput values for a plurality of modulation and coding schemes based on data throughput values and based on a number of user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station; determine a modulation and coding scheme, of the plurality of coding schemes, that is associated with a highest system throughput; and determine radio frequency (RF) conditions associated with the base station. The logic may further be configured to define a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) area based on the determined RF conditions and the selected modulation and coding scheme and provide an update to the UE devices serviced by the base station, wherein UE devices located within the defined MBMS area are sent the update using MBMS and UE devices located outside the defined MBMS area are sent the update using unicast.
Abstract:
A device may receive a request for a transmission of traffic from an application, the application being associated with an application identifier. The device may determine an application category of the application using the application identifier associated with the application. The device may identify a set of rules associated with the application category, where the set of rules includes at least one of one or more rules associated with foreground traffic, or one or more rules associated with background traffic. The device may selectively block or permit the transmission of traffic, from the application, based on the set of rules.
Abstract:
A base station may establish a wireless connection with a mobile device. The base station may determine an index value for each of a plurality of carriers that may be used for the wireless connection. The index value for a respective carrier may be determined based on a quantity of idle mode devices using the respective carrier in an idle mode. The base station may generate a carrier order that indicates a priority for each of the plurality of frequencies. The carrier order may be generated based on sorting the plurality of carriers based on the index values for the plurality of carriers. The base station may send order information indicating the carrier order to the mobile device via the wireless connection.

A device may initiate a location determination for a user device. The device may receive information identifying a set of base stations for performing the location determination. The device may retrieve, from a data structure and utilizing the information identifying the set of base stations, particular base station information associated with the set of base stations. The particular base station information may include location information for the set of base stations. The device may determine one or more signal strength measurements for one or more signals provided by the set of base stations. The device may determine an approximate location for the user device based on the location information for the set of base stations and the one or more signal strength measurements. The device may provide information associated with the approximate location for the user device.

A network device may determine a sequence. The sequence may identify an order in which particular unlicensed bands, of a plurality of unlicensed bands in an unlicensed spectrum, are to be assigned for the transmission of data flows. The network device may provide information identifying the sequence via a licensed band to a user device to cause the user device to transmit or receive the data flows via the particular unlicensed bands identified in the sequence in the order in which the particular unlicensed bands are to be assigned; and transmit or receive, to or from the user device, the data flows via the particular unlicensed and the licensed bands.
