Abstract:
A detector in a mobile device receives input from a modem, determines whether the mobile device is indoor or outdoor based on the modem-supplied input, and stores in memory a binary value to indicate an indoor-outdoor state of the mobile device. In certain embodiments, the mobile device includes a modem of a cell phone and the modem-supplied input includes an estimate of a power delay profile. In some embodiments, the detector extracts a feature from the modem-supplied input, and uses the extracted feature with a classifier, to output a state and a probability of the state. In these embodiments, logic in the detector compares an empirically-determined threshold, against a probability output by the classifier, and when the threshold is exceeded, the state determined by the classifier is output as the state of the mobile device. In other embodiments, the classifier outputs the state of the mobile device directly (without probability).
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are provided for mobility management for wireless communications systems that utilize a flexible bandwidth carrier. Some embodiments include approaches for determining bandwidth information, such as one or more bandwidth scaling factors N and/or flexible bandwidths, at a user equipment (UE), where the bandwidth information may not be signaled to the UE. Embodiments for determining bandwidth information include: random ordered bandwidth scaling factor approaches, delay ordered bandwidth scaling factor approaches, storing bandwidth scaling factor value in UE Neighbor Record approaches, spectrum measurement approaches, spectrum calculation approaches, and/or a priori approaches. Flexible bandwidth carrier systems may utilize spectrum portions that may not be big enough to fit a normal waveform. Flexible bandwidth carrier systems may be generated through dilating, or scaling down, time, frame lengths, bandwidth, or the chip rate of the flexible bandwidth carrier systems with respect to a normal bandwidth carrier system.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for optimizing handover or cell reselection of a mobile device based on historical information associated with mobility patterns of the mobile device. The mobile device may autonomously determine when a resource for the mobile device may be released based on the historical information. The mobile device may transmit a message to a serving cell indicating when the resource may be released and perform a handover or cell reselection procedure of the mobile device to the target cell. The serving cell may release the resource based on the indication received in the message.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for defining a tracking area for a mobile device. The mobile device may determine that it is traveling along an identified route. The mobile device may send an indication to a core cellular network that it is traveling along the identified route and, therefore, refrain from sending tracking area update messages as it enters new tracking areas along the route. The core cellular network may receive the message and define a tracking area for the mobile device based on the information associated with the identified route. The core cellular network may define the tracking area and send page(s) to the mobile device without receiving tracking area update reporting messages from the mobile device as it travels along the identified route.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for adjusting the number of base stations of a paging group based on the mobility state of a mobile device. The mobile device may autonomously determine its mobility state based on a sequence of repeated historical events associated with mobility patterns of the mobile device. The mobile device may communicate the mobility state to a base stations and receive a page from at least one of a subset of base stations of a paging group. The subset of base stations may be selected based on the mobility state of the mobile device. The number of base stations selected to be included in the subset of base stations may be reduces when the mobile device is in a stationary state or increased when the mobile device is in a mobile state. The mobile device may explicitly or implicitly convey the mobility state.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for adjusting at least one channel parameter based on accessed historical channel information associated with mobility patterns of a mobile device. In some examples, a mobile device or a base station may access historical channel information associated with mobility patterns of the mobile device or another mobile device. The mobility patterns may include information relative to a particular time and location of a mobile device, a previously traveled route by a mobile device, etc. Based on the historical channel information associated with the mobility patterns, the mobile device or the base station may adjust a channel parameter to improve communication performance across the particular channel.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for predicting a current random access transmission power detectable by a base station based on historical transmission power information. In one aspect, a mobile device may access a historical transmission power associated with a current state of the mobile device, with the historical transmission power based on mobility patterns of the mobile device. Based at least in part on the accessed historical transmission power, the mobile device may predict a current random access transmission power of the mobile device, where the predicted current random access transmission power is configured to elicit a random access response from a base station. In one aspect, the techniques described herein may reduce a number of power ramp steps taken by the mobile device during a random access procedure, reduce interference from the mobile device during the random access procedure, or both based on the predicted current random access transmission power.
