Abstract:
Techniques for dynamic optimization of radio access network sites are provided. A wireless communications infrastructure identifies that a piece of user equipment(UE) is connected to a base station associated with a current Radio Access Network(RAN) site that does not have sufficient backhaul resources to support the piece of UE. A target RAN site that has sufficient backhaul resources to support the piece of UE is identified. The target RAN site associated with at least one base station. A Radio Frequency (RF) signal transmitted from at least one of the base station associated with the current RAN site and the at least one base station associated with the target RAN site is modified. The modification causes the piece of UE to handover from the base station associated with the current RAN site to the at least one base station associated with the target RAN site.
Abstract:
A process for adjusting base station transmit power to reduce power consumption in a wireless radio system, the method includes causing, by a radio controller, a message to be transmitted on a control channel in the wireless radio system proposing a transmit power reduction with respect to a traffic channel in the wireless radio system. Subsequently monitoring, by the radio controller, one or both of the control channel and the traffic channel for an indication from a mobile station affected by the proposed power reduction that the proposed power reduction is unacceptable. And modifying, by the radio controller, as a function of the presence or absence of the indication, the transmit power of the traffic channel.
Abstract:
Techniques for tracking and display of compliance with instructions provided by emergency call takers are provided. An artificial intelligence (AI) bot monitors a conversation between an emergency caller and an emergency call taker. The AI bot identifies at least one instruction issued by the emergency call taker to the emergency caller. The AI bot determines when execution of the at least one instruction has been confirmed.
Abstract:
During operation a first personal-area network will activate a first camera. The first camera may be manually activated, or triggered by an audio signal. The event that causes the first camera to activate will also cause the personal-area network to send an acoustic signature to other personal-area networks. Personal-area networks that receive the acoustic signature will modify audio triggers so that the acoustic signature can be better distinguished from other noises.
Abstract:
Communication groups are formed based on mobile station location history. The process includes receiving, at a controller device, a group formation request from a requesting device, the request specifying a location and a time window, identifying one or more mobile stations determined to be within a threshold area relative to the location during the time window, and causing a communication group to be created including the identified one or more mobile stations. A further process includes a requesting device configured to identify a location and time window associated with an event, transmit a group formation request specifying the location and the time window and requesting formation of a communication group comprising mobile stations located within a threshold area relative to the location during the time window, and transmit using a communication group identifier provided to the requesting device.

Abstract:
A process of selectively enabling execution of video analytics on videos captured by cameras. In operation, an electronic computing device accesses an incident database identifying incidents resolved by one or more agencies. The incidents include a first set of incidents that were first reported to the agencies by a human source and a second set of incidents that were first reported to the agencies by a video analytics system. The electronic computing device then estimates a first average cost incurred in resolving the first set of incidents and a second average cost incurred in resolving the second set of incidents. The electronic computing device enables the video analytics system to execute video analytics on videos captured by the one or more cameras to proactively detect and report incidents when the first average cost is higher than the second average cost by at least the predefined threshold.
Abstract:
A method is provided. The method includes receiving, at an arbitration server, a call setup request, the call setup request including at least an indication of an application used to send the call setup request and at least one other indication of a call type of a call associated with the call setup request. The method includes retrieving, from a configuration database, a call priority associated with the call set up request. The method includes determining that the user device is currently engaged in an ongoing call associated with an ongoing call priority. The method includes determining that the call setup request is of higher priority than the ongoing call based on the ongoing call priority. The method includes when the call setup request is of higher priority, terminating the ongoing call and completing the setup of the call associated with the call setup request.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for identifying individuals who frequently change their mobile device. During operation, a server continuously receives facial recognition data for individuals along with device IDs detected at the time the facial recognition data was obtained. Devices associated with the individual are determined. This process is repeated and a determination is made as to whether the devices associated with the individual have changed. An individual that frequently changes devices will be identified as suspicious.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for notifying a user whether or not they are within a camera's field of view is provided herein. During operation equipment will receive a location of a user device. The equipment will also receive locations of cameras along with camera parameters. The equipment will determine whether or not the user device is within a field of view of a camera based on the location of the user device, the location of the cameras, and potentially the camera parameters. An indication of whether or not the device is within the field of view of a camera will be provided to a user.
