An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for monitoring a paging message, a mobile terminal, and a server. The method for monitoring the paging message is operable by a mobile terminal and includes: detecting whether the mobile terminal is in a connected state where the mobile terminal is connected with a wireless access device accessing the Internet; when the mobile terminal is in the connected state where the mobile terminal is connected with the wireless access device, monitoring the paging message according to a first paging cycle; when otherwise, monitoring the paging message according to a second paging cycle, wherein the first paging cycle is longer than the second paging cycle, and the second paging cycle is equal to a cycle according to which a core network transmits the paging message.

Various of the disclosed embodiments relate to line-of-sight (LOS), e.g., optical, based networks. Systems and methods for determining where to place and how to configure nodes in an optically connected network across a geographic region are provided. Various factors concerning the region may be collected, including, e.g.,: building locations and height, building types, population densities, backbone connection locations, recurring weather factors, geographic elevation, etc. The algorithm may iteratively place nodes based upon the accessible range of a preceding contemplated node position.

A wireless communication network serves wireless user devices over a radio channel that is allocated into subchannels for wireless network slices. A wireless access node schedules resource blocks from the subchannels to the wireless user devices based on their wireless network slices. The wireless access node detects a subchannel has available resource blocks and other subchannels need the available resource blocks. The wireless access node schedules the available resource blocks to the wireless user devices that need the available resource blocks and that use a higher priority wireless network slice. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless user devices over the scheduled resource blocks and exchanges the user data with the wireless network slices. The wireless network slices exchanging at least some of the user data with external systems.

A base station is disclosed, comprising: a processor; a memory coupled to the processor; a base station access radio coupled to the processor; a user equipment module, coupled to the processor, for providing a backhaul link for the base station; and a sniffing circuit coupled to the processor. The sniffing circuit further comprises: a radio receiver coupled to an amplifier and a filter, the amplifier and the filter both capable of being used across a plurality of frequencies; and a baseband processor coupled to the radio receiver, configured to convert a received signal from the radio receiver to a baseband frequency, to determine whether the received signal is one of a 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, or 5G signal, to measure a signal strength of the received signal, and to identify a synchronization signal within the received signal.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate after a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a control method in an edge enabler server (EES) of a mobile edge computing system, and may include subscribing to a user plane path change event at an edge application server (EAS); determining an application context relocation (ACR) based on receiving a user plane path management event notification from the mobile communication network in case of subscribing to the user plane path change event for the EAS; transmitting an ACR request message to the EAS; receiving an EAS response message from the EAS; and transmitting an application function (AF) acknowledgment message to a first node of the mobile communication network in response to receiving the EAS response message from the EAS.

A method distributes cell-level aggregated data available from a mobile communication network and aggregated at the level of single network cells. The method subdivides a geographic area in geographic area portions, and causes mobile terminals situated in the geographic area to calculate and provide respective geographic position estimates to a data processing system. An overall number of geographic position estimates are distributed by assigning to each geographic area portion a respective number of geographic position estimates. Cell-level aggregated data relating to a network cell is received, and for each network cell, covered geographic area portions are determined. The cell-level aggregated data of the network cell is distributed according to a respective distribution factor. A distribution map of the cell-level aggregated data is generated in which to each of the geographic area portions of the geographic area of interest a respective quota of the cell-level aggregated data is assigned.

A first client station receives from an access point an indication of whether angular information is to be included in feedback information in a range measurement session. The first client station transmits a null data packet (NDP) as part of an uplink multi-user (MU) PHY transmission that also includes simultaneous transmissions by one or more second client stations of one or more other respective NDPs to the access point as part of the range measurement session. The first client station receives a downlink physical layer (PHY) data unit from the access point that includes respective downlink feedback frames for the first client station and the one or more second client stations. When angular information is to be included in the feedback, a downlink feedback frame for the first client station includes angular information.

Estimating a difference in height between floors in a building for use in estimating a height or an altitude of one of the floors. A height difference is estimated between a first floor and a second floor based on outdoor temperatures of first and second time periods, an indoor temperature of the first or second time period, and first and second estimated differences in height between the first and second floors that is based on measurements of pressure from mobile devices when the mobile devices were on the first and second floors during the first and second time periods.

Disclosed is a positioning device, a position measurement server, and a position measurement system capable of estimating a relatively accurate position on the basis of a signal transmitted from a terminal in a mobile communication system. Particularly, the positioning device acquires channel configuration information of an uplink signal of a target terminal, receives the uplink signal of the target terminal through one or more uplink signal reception units on the basis of the channel configuration information, measures information on the received uplink signal, and transmits the information on the uplink signal of the target terminal to the position measurement server, and the position measurement server receives the information on the uplink signal of the target terminal from the positioning device and calculates a position of the target terminal on the basis of the information on the uplink signal of the target terminal.
