Abstract: A transmitting device may use a determined extent of retransmissions by the transmitting device to a receiving device as a basis to decide on an extent of concatenation of frames of media. In one example, a transmitting device may monitor an extent of retransmissions by the transmitting device to a receiving device during a packet-based real-time media session. The transmitting device may detect a threshold low extent of retransmissions during the packet-based real-time media session. And responsive to detecting the threshold low extent of retransmissions, the transmitting device may increase an extent of concatenation of frames of media during the packet-based real-time media session.

Abstract: When a base station is serving a plurality of UEs, the base station detects that a load level on a first RF carrier is greater than a threshold load level. The base station then decides, based at least in part on whether a UE is capable of being served by the base station on a second RF carrier, whether to limit allocation of resource blocks on the first RF carrier to the UE. The base station may then establish or modify an air interface connection with the UE to encompass resource blocks on the first RF carrier and/or resources blocks on one or more other RF carriers, in accordance with the limited allocation.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (WCD) stores a location of a portable WAP and is configured to report the stored location of the portable WAP to a location-based service provider (LBSP) when the WCD is within coverage of the portable WAP and requests a location-based service from the LBSP. While the WCD is within coverage of the portable WAP, the WCD (i) uses a wireless-communication interface to detect that the WCD is also within one or more particular cellular coverage areas and (ii) stores a correlation between the portable WAP and the one or more particular cellular coverage areas. Thereafter, while the WCD is again within coverage of the portable WAP, the WCD determines that the WCD is not within coverage of the one or more particular cellular coverage areas. In response, the WCD reconfigures itself to not report the stored location of the portable WAP to the LBSP when the WCD requests the location-based service.

Abstract: A portable wireless access point (WAP) stores its location and is configured to report the stored location to a location-based service provider (LBSP) when a wireless communication device (WCD) is within coverage of the portable WAP and requests a location-based service from the LBSP. While the WCD is within coverage of the portable WAP, the portable WAP receives from the WCD a first list of one or more cellular base stations currently accessible by the WCD. Thereafter, while the WCD is again within coverage of the portable WAP, the portable WAP receives from the WCD a second list of one or more cellular base stations currently accessible by the WCD. The portable WAP compares the first list to the second list, and responsive to determining that the second list is threshold different from the first list, the portable WAP reconfigures itself such that, when the WCD requests the location-based service, the portable WAP does not report the stored location to the WCD.

Abstract translation: 便携式无线接入点（WAP）存储其位置并被配置为当无线通信设备（WCD）在便携式WAP的覆盖范围内时将存储的位置报告给基于位置的服务提供商（LBSP），并且请求基于位置的 服务于LBSP。 当WCD在便携式WAP的覆盖范围内时，便携式WAP从WCD接收当前由WCD可访问的一个或多个蜂窝基站的第一列表。 此后，当WCD再次在便携式WAP的覆盖范围内时，便携式WAP从WCD接收当前由WCD可访问的一个或多个蜂窝基站的第二列表。 便携式WAP将第一列表与第二列表进行比较，并且响应于确定第二列表是与第一列表不同的阈值，便携式WAP重新配置自身，使得当WCD请求基于位置的服务时，便携式WAP 不将存储的位置报告给WCD。
