Disclosed are techniques to compensate frequency systematic known error (FSKE) in reflector or initiator radios using a hybrid RF-digital approach in multi-carrier phase-based ranging. The hybrid RF-digital approach combines a coarse frequency compensation technique in the RF domain and a fine frequency compensation technique in the digital domain to remove the FSKE across all carrier frequencies from a device. The coarse frequency compensation performed in the RF domain may use a PLL to multiply the crystal frequency to arrive close to a target carrier frequency to compensate for a coarse portion of the known FSKE at the target frequency. The fine frequency compensation may use digital techniques to remove the remaining portion of the known FSKE not compensated by the RF. The hybrid approach reduces the number of fractional bits in the multiplier of the PLL when compared to an approach that uses only the RF-PLL to remove the FSKE.

A solution for providing user equipment (UE) location during an emergency call (e.g., an E911 call) includes: receiving, at a positioning node (e.g., a gateway mobile location center (GMLC)), a notification of an emergency call; requesting, by the positioning node, an approximated location of the UE; requesting, from the UE, a refined location of the UE, wherein the refined location has a higher expected accuracy than the approximated location; receiving the approximated location; based on at least the approximated location, selecting an emergency service responder point (e.g., a public safety answering point (PSAP)) from among a plurality of emergency service responder points; instructing a call routing destination of the emergency call as the selected emergency service responder point; receiving the refined location; and transmitting the refined location to the selected emergency service responder point. A rapid approximate location enables selecting the PSAP while waiting for a more accurate location report.

A vehicle determines that a stop is upcoming along a route and determines that the upcoming stop will place the vehicle within range of a wireless transceiver. The vehicle approximates a predicted transfer rate of the wireless transceiver and determines if data onboard the first vehicle is to be uploaded, based on at least a size of the data, a priority assigned to the data and the predicted transfer rate. Additionally, the vehicle determines a predicted duration of communication between the vehicle and the transceiver based on the route and the upcoming stop, allowing the vehicle to determine a first predicted amount of data able to be transferred. The vehicle designates first data for upload, based on the first data having a size that is below the first predicted amount and begins transferring the designated data responsive to establishing communication with the wireless transceiver.

One or more location-based clients can be activated on a mobile device for providing location-based services. The location-based clients can be provided with information (e.g., presets, defaults) related to the current location and/or mode of the mobile device. The information can be obtained from one or more network resources. In some implementations, a location-based client can concurrently display map and vehicle information related to a location of the mobile device.
