Provided is a method for saving a standard format page. The method includes: generating a standard format page which includes a first filling entry, the first filling entry having a default filling value and being configured to be filled with a PLMN identity of a visited place; transmitting the standard format page to the first mobile terminal located at the visited place; receiving a first standard format page transmitted by the first mobile terminal, the first standard format page being a standard format page in which the first filling entry has been filled with the filling value; and identifying and saving the first standard format page. The present disclosure further provides a server for saving a standard format page.

A location system provides a location service for determining a location of a mobile device. A node of the location system comprises: a signal processing module, and a wireless interface which communicates wirelessly according to a standardized wireless networking protocol. The protocol defines a request message for sending a request from the mobile device to the node, the request message having a network ID field for specifying a network to which the request is directed. The wireless interface receives, from the mobile device, an instance of the request message including an ID of the location service, this being carried in the network ID field. The signal processing module detects the ID of the location service in this field, and in response captures a measurement of the received instance of the request, for use in determining the location of the mobile device in conjunction with measurements from other nodes.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to an indoor positioning method and an apparatus. In this solution, a positioning server obtains floor numbers of floors on which at least one base station is located; the positioning server receives identification information of a first terminal; the positioning server determines the first terminal according to the identification information; and the positioning server determines vertical location information of the first terminal according to the floor numbers of the floors on which the at least one base station is located. When a terminal is located indoors, positioning is meaningful only when a specific floor on which the terminal is located is determined.

A communications network is disclosed that includes one or more microwave backhaul nodes for routing communications between one or more near end mobile communications devices and one or more far end mobile communications devices. The communications network includes a central monitoring and control infrastructure, a remote monitoring and control infrastructure and/or a local monitoring and control infrastructure. The central monitoring and control infrastructure, the remote monitoring and control infrastructure and/or the local monitoring and control infrastructure can directly manage the one or more microwave backhaul nodes. Alternatively, the remote monitoring and control infrastructure and/or the local monitoring and control infrastructure can indirectly manage the one or more microwave backhaul nodes through the central monitoring and control infrastructure.

The disclosed apparatus, systems, and methods relate to a location query mechanism that can efficiently determine whether a target entity is located within a region of interest (ROI). At a high level, the location query mechanism can be configured to represent a ROI using one or more polygons. The location query mechanism can, in turn, divide (e.g., tessellate) the one or more polygons into sub-polygons. Subsequently, the location query mechanism can use the sub-polygons to build an index system that can efficiently determine whether a particular location is within any of the sub-polygons. Therefore, when a computing device queries whether a particular location is within the region of interest, the location query mechanism can use the index system to determine whether the particular location is within any of the sub-polygons.

A geofence management system obtains location data for points of interest. The geofence management system determines, at the option of the user, the location of a user mobile computing device relative to specific points of interest and alerts the user when the user nears the points of interest. The geofence management system, however, determines relationships among the identified points of interest, and associates or “clusters” the points of interest together based on the determined relationships. Rather than establishing separate geofences for multiple points of interest, and then alerting the user each time the user's mobile device enters each geofence boundary, the geofence management system establishes a single geofence boundary for the associated points of interest. When the user's mobile device enters the clustered geofence boundary, the geofence management system notifies the user device to alert the user of the entrance event. The user then receives the clustered, geofence-based alert.

Techniques for providing access point (AP) vicinity information are disclosed. In one example, the techniques include determining a first set of vicinity information corresponding to signal values for an AP at a set of grid points for the coverage area of the AP, encoding the first set of AP vicinity information based at least on a difference between AP vicinity information values for adjacent grid points to generate a second set of AP vicinity information, and providing the second set of AP vicinity information to a device. In one example, the techniques include receiving, for a set of grid points, a first set of AP vicinity information that is compressed based at least on a difference between AP vicinity information values for adjacent grid points, and performing decompression to obtain a second set of AP vicinity information corresponding to signal values for an AP at the set of grid points.

An unmanned mobile communication station is adapted for location in a marine environment and includes a platform adapted for flotation or is semi-submersible, a communication node for sending and receiving wireless signals, a power system for energizing said communication node, a data center, at least one sensor for detecting the geolocation of the platform; and a processor for receiving signals from said sensors and controlling communication to and from communication nodes wherein embodiments include both autonomous and remote controlled navigation and propulsion systems.

A cooperative wireless system using a multicast protocol to facilitate coordinating coherent addition and subtraction of wireless signaling or other beams originating from a plurality of antenna units at a target location is contemplated. The system may utilize multicast-based regulation and distribution of transmission control parameters necessary for the antenna units to synchronize the wireless signaling in a manner sufficient to enable the coherent addition and subtraction thereof at the target location.

Systems and methods are provided for displaying account information. The systems and methods may include a portable smart display device in short-range communication with a mobile device. The smart display device may be configured to provide a user with quick and easy yet secure access to account information, without the need for multi-step login and verification processes. The smart display device may be sized to fit within a wallet and within quick, easy reach of a user. The smart display device may receive up-to-date account information from the mobile device, and display the account information on-demand upon detecting an activation event, thereby providing an enjoyable user experience and a useful tool for quickly informing the user of their financial situation.
