Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media may facilitate multi-environment cellular network slice testing. A cloud-based test environment may be created and may include multiple cellular network components executed on a cloud-based computing platform. One or more slice testing requests may be received from a service provider system. Responsive to the one or more slice testing requests, one or more network slices may be created, where the one or more network slices may correspond to one or more portions of a cellular network. Slice testing may be performed with the one or more network slices within the cloud-based test environment. Results of the slice testing using the one or more network slices may be obtained.

A method is provided for determining a position of a mobile participant of a wireless communication network, wherein the method comprises: determining (102) a first distance between the mobile participant and a stationary participant of the wireless communication network depending on a location signal transmitted by the stationary participant or the mobile participant; determining (104) a second distance between a stationary replicator unit and the mobile participant depending on a replicated signal which is transmitted by means of the stationary replicator unit depending on the location signal, and depending on a further distance between the replicator unit and the stationary participant; and determining (106) a position of the mobile participant depending on the first distance and depending on the second distance.

A system and method are provided to inform travelers of nearby pet relief areas. At least one remote server manages at least one user account. The user account is associated with a corresponding PC device. The remote server includes a plurality of terminal profiles, and each terminal profile includes a plurality of nearby service animal relief area (SARA) locations. The remote server retrieves travel information for the user account and compares the travel information with the plurality of terminal profiles. After comparing the travel information with the plurality of terminal profiles, the remote server identifies at least one closest departure SARA location and at least one closest arrival SARA location for the user account. The closest departure SARA location and one closest arrival SARA location can then be displayed to the user through the corresponding PC device.

Magnetic field sensors of mobile devices are used for providing the mobile devices with information at a locally extremely restricted area in that, specifically, a magnetic field modulated with the information is locally generated at this position by an information signal generator.

Provided are an apparatus failure influence range recognition apparatus, an apparatus failure influence range recognition method, and a program capable of billing for a proper call charge for a call suspected of non-provision of a service. An apparatus failure influence range recognition apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive apparatus failure information which is failure information of an element constituting a network, user information which is information regarding a user of a service, and call details information of an IP telephone, and a calculation unit configured to calculate, by linking the apparatus failure information, the user information, and the call details information with each other, a subtracted call charge with respect to a call charge for a suspected call influenced by an apparatus failure.

Channel state feedback is provided from a UE to a base station as a first, detailed or a second, less detailed type of channel state feedback information. Initially it is determined whether the UE has received an uplink grant from the base station or not. If the UE has received an uplink grant, a first type of channel state feedback information is transmitted to the base station on the granted resource. If, however, the UE has not received an uplink grant, a second type of channel state feedback information is transmitted to the base station. Different types of channel state feedback information enables a UE and an associated base station to use available resources more efficiently, when requesting for and delivering channel state feedback information.

Techniques are disclosed for predictive media streaming using microlocation. Microlocations of a mobile device can be determined by measuring one or more sensor values at one or more times, the one or more sensor values are determined from one or more signals emitted by a corresponding one or more signal sources. Streaming events can be stored at the mobile device. Each streaming event may include a destination device for playing media and a cluster location, the cluster location corresponding to sensor values that are spatially near each other. A selection of a media item is detected and one or more current sensor values are measured. A current cluster location can be identified using the one or more current sensor value. The current cluster location and the streaming events can identify a particular destination device for playing the selected media item.

Techniques for improved wireless ranging are provided. A first communication from a first client device is received at a first network device. A predefined minimum distance is determined for the first access point, where the predefined minimum distance corresponds to a distance at which the vertical location of the first network device causes time of flight ranging techniques to result in inaccurate location estimations. A first distance of the first client device from the first network device is estimated. Upon determining that the first distance of the first client device is below the predefined minimum distance, ToF ranging requests from the first client device are declined.

A mesh network of interconnected wireless nodes in which each node independently manages a wireless connection to one or more other wireless nodes for transporting data, and stochastically refreshes and maintains internode connections in the wireless mesh network. A network overlay orchestrator in each node periodically validates the connections to other nodes in the mesh network based on a current topology of connected nodes to ensure the efficiency of current connections. Connection logic replaces, if a connection validation fails, the failed connection with a newly established connection from a set of available neighbor nodes, and replaces, if none of the current connections fail validation, a stochastically selected connection with a newly established connection from the set of available neighbor nodes for promoting perturbation in the current internode connections.
