Abstract: Femtocells are often used to extend the coverage of wireless telecommunication networks, but do not typically incorporate mechanisms that allow their location to be easily ascertained. As described herein, a system may determine the locations of femtocells, based on the locations of user devices that attach to, detach from, handover between, and/or detect the femtocells. A map (such as a three-dimensional map) may be generated based on the determined locations of femtocells. The locations of femtocells may be used, for example, in emergency broadcast situations, in order to ensure that messages are distributed as completely as possible in a given region.

Abstract: Digital signal processors (DSPs) process the digital baseband signals associated with CPRI links between BBUs and RRHs. The DSPs may be implemented at the RRH nodes (e.g., at the link leading to the BBU node), at the BBU node (e.g., at the links leading to the RRH nodes), or at both. The DSPs may be used to increase performance of the RAN. For example, the DSPs may implement digital filters designed to enhance the performance of the RAN.

Abstract: A system may use optical character recognition (“OCR”) techniques to identify license plates or other textual information associated with vehicles. Based on this OCR information, the system may determine additional information, such as users associated with the vehicles. The system may further obtain other information, such as history information associated with the vehicles and/or the users (e.g., via an “opt-in” data collection service). Ad content may be selected based on trends associated with the users and/or vehicles, and may be presented via “smart” billboards (e.g., billboards that may dynamically display different content).

Abstract translation: 系统可以使用光学字符识别（“OCR”）技术来识别与车辆相关联的车牌或其它文本信息。 基于该OCR信息，系统可以确定附加信息，例如与车辆相关联的用户。 该系统还可以获得诸如与车辆和/或用户相关联的历史信息（例如经由“选择加入”数据收集服务）的其它信息。 可以基于与用户和/或车辆相关联的趋势来选择广告内容，并且可以通过“智能”广告牌（例如，可以动态显示不同内容的广告牌）来呈现广告内容。

Abstract: A device may receive, from a network device, a user equipment (UE) parameter update request notification indicating an update to a UE parameter of a universal subscriber identity module (USIM), and may generate an encrypted UE parameter update request. The device may cause the encrypted UE parameter update request to be provided to the USIM to cause the USIM to update the UE parameter and to generate an encrypted UE parameter update response. The device may receive, from the network device, the encrypted UE parameter update response, and may verify an authenticity of content of the encrypted UE parameter update response based on whether the encrypted UE parameter update response is signed by the USIM. The device may provide, to the network device, a result indicating whether the UE parameter is updated and whether the authenticity of the content of the encrypted UE parameter update response is verified.

Abstract: A device is configured to store target location information indicating an acceptable signal strength at a target location. The device may receive a signal emitted from a base station. The signal may be received at the target location. The device may measure the signal strength of the signal at the target location. The device may transmit a signal strength message including information based on the signal strength. The signal strength message may cause the base station to adjust a power with which signals are emitted from the base station such that the signals satisfy the acceptable signal strength at the target location.

Abstract: A system may be configured to receive analytics information regarding a cell of a wireless telecommunications network. The cell may be associated with multiple carriers, which may each be associated with, for example, a particular radio access technology (“RAT”), frequency band, or frequency sub-band. The system may dynamically rank the carriers based on measures of load associated with the carriers (as indicated by the analytics information), and may generate system information blocks (“SIBs”) that include the dynamic rankings The SIBs may be provided to user devices, which may select carriers, via which to connect to the cell, based on the dynamic rankings

Abstract: A mobile device may perform actions based on sensing a wireless beacons. The action to take, for a particular beacon, may be determined based on a query to a remote database or server. For example, in one implementation, a method may include detecting a wireless beacon that is in proximity to the mobile device; querying, based on the beacon identifier, a remote computing device for attribute information relating to the wireless beacon; and determining, based on the received attribute information, one or more actions to perform by the mobile device.
