One method for improving registration for VoLTE devices in LTE networks includes the steps of transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), a first Packet Data Network (PDN) connectivity request to a first PDN Gateway (PGW) for establishing a connectivity with a first PDN; verifying, by a Mobility Management Entity (MME), if the first PDN connectivity request is accepted by the first PGW; creating, by the UE, a second PDN connectivity request to a second PGW for establishing a connectivity with a second PDN if the first PGW rejects the first PDN connectivity request; and establishing connectivity with the second PDN for enabling VoLTE Services if the second PGW accepts the second PDN connectivity request. | 2015-10-08 |
20150289225 | PROCESSING CROWDSOURCED DATA FOR NON-GEOTAGGED ACCESS POINTS - Techniques for publishing location information associated with a non-geotagged transceiver are disclosed. A method for publishing a position of a non-geotagged transceiver in a wireless communication system includes determining a first position of the non-geotagged transceiver based on a periodic neighbor list, determining a second position of the non-geotagged transceiver based on an accumulated neighbor list, determining if the first position and the second position agree, publishing a third position if the first position and the second position agree, such that the third position is determined based on the union of the periodic neighbor list and the accumulated neighbor list, and resetting the accumulated neighbor list if the first and second position do not agree. | 2015-10-08 |
20150289226 | EVENT TAGGING FOR MOBILE NETWORKS - Improved network event tagging for mobile communications is described herein. By way of example, a mobile network can be configured to take periodic geographic positions of a mobile terminal operating within the mobile network. Network events occurring between the periodic geographic positions, otherwise partially unknown in position, can be estimated by referencing topographical information and estimating a route of travel of the mobile device. Estimated speed of the mobile device can be utilized to place the mobile device on a road network, cycling route, pedestrian walkway, or the like, and refine the estimated position of the mobile device at the time of the network event. Such estimates can be refined from traffic information or other real-time travel data. An estimated position of the mobile device can be output as an approximation of the network event to facilitate event modeling for the mobile network. | 2015-10-08 |
20150289227 | NOTIFICATION SYSTEM INCLUDING A NOTIFICATION ACCESSORY LINKABLE TO A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE - A notification system includes a specially-configured communications device, such as a smartphone, and a notification accessory that is linkable, e.g., via Bluetooth, to the communications device. The notification system allows a user to selectively, according to user preference, reproduce at the wearable accessory customized notifications corresponding to notifications that would otherwise occur at the communications device. The communications device includes software that allows a user to control whether and how notifications will be provided at the wearable accessory. Notifications may be made using vibratory and/or light signals, and the light signals may be provided in user-customizable colors and/or patterns. The notification accessory includes a functional module including circuitry enabling the notification accessory's functionality, and an outer housing enclosing the functional module. Various outer housings may be designed to be aesthetically appealing, e.g., as jewelry, while also being compatible with a single type of functional module. | 2015-10-08 |
20150289228 | ENHANCED SINGLE BURST PAGE DECODING IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication in connection with one or more devices, such as a mobile station (MS). A first burst of a multi-burst page is received from a paging channel. A correlation between at least a portion of the first burst and each of a plurality of predetermined bit patterns corresponding to a non-NULL page destined for the MS is determined. If the correlation is greater than a threshold, a second burst of the page is read and early decoding of the page is performed. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. | 2015-10-08 |
