In one embodiment, a supervisory device in a network forms a virtual access point (VAP) for a node in the network. A set of access points (APs) in the network are mapped to the VAP as part of a VAP mapping and the node treats the APs in the VAP mapping as a single AP for purposes of communicating with the network. The supervisory device receives measurements from the APs in the VAP mapping regarding communications associated with the node. The supervisory device identifies a movement of the node based on the received measurements from the APs in the VAP mapping. The supervisory device adjusts the set of APs in the VAP mapping based on the identified movement of the node.

Techniques for trusted roaming between identity federation based networks. A first wireless access point (AP) receives a roaming request from a wireless station (STA), to roam from the first AP to a second AP. The first AP is associated with a first access network provider (ANP), the second AP is associated with a second ANP, and the first ANP is different from the second ANP. Authentication information relating to the STA is transmitted from the first ANP to the second ANP using a trusted connection. The trusted connection was previously established between the first ANP and the second ANP based on a query to an identity federation to which both the first and second ANP belong. The STA is de-associated from the first AP. The STA is re-associated at the second AP using the transmitted authentication information

Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms or apparatus configured to provide ad hoc, peer to peer communications among a plurality of wireless devices, wherein at least one wireless device is selected to further communicate with a wireless network to provide thereby backhaul services to other wireless devices, wherein the at least one wireless device providing backhaul services is dynamically selected in accordance with respective wireless network signal strength indicia.

A communication device includes, a communicator configured to include a first wireless communication layer and a second wireless communication layer, with the second wireless communication layer having a first link layer protocol or a second link layer protocol, which is a radio link protocol, and perform radio communication with another communication device via the first wireless communication layer, and a controller configured to control communication in transmission and reception of data of the second wireless communication layer by performing control on the data in accordance with whether a radio link protocol of the second wireless communication layer corresponds to the first link layer protocol or the second link layer protocol so that the transmission and reception of the data is performed.

A method for localizing a voice call is disclosed, comprising: receiving an originating leg setup message for an originating leg bearer from the first base station for a first user equipment (UE); creating a first call correlation identifier and storing the first call correlation identifier in association with the first UE; extracting a second call correlation identifier from a terminating leg setup message for a terminating leg bearer received from the core network; determining a real time protocol (RTP) localization status for the originating leg bearer and the terminating leg bearer based on matching the second call correlation identifier of the terminating leg against the stored first call correlation identifier of the originating leg; and sending transport layer assignment messages to the first base station to redirect RTP packets from the first UE to the second UE via the terminating leg bearer without the RTP packets transiting the core network.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process or apparatus for receiving, by a processing system including a processor, cell traffic reports for cells of a radio communication network, performing a reconfiguration analysis to identify reconfiguration information to reconfigure the radio communication network according to changing network conditions, and communicating the reconfiguration information defining a new cell configuration for the cells of the radio communication network and communicating information defining a new reconfiguration time for the cells to substantially synchronously switch to communicating according to the reconfiguration information. The receiving the cell traffic reports, the performing the reconfiguration analysis and the communicating the reconfiguration information occur in substantially real time. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods for extending cell broadcast notifications to various access technologies and enterprise communication infrastructure. A method includes obtaining, by a controller, a cellular broadcast message of a public warning system and identifying, by the controller, at least one network entity, from among a plurality of network entities operating in a private radio network, based on the at least one network entity being within a location area specified in the cellular broadcast message. The method further includes providing, by the controller to the at least one network entity, the cellular broadcast message.

A WiFi data transmission system is provided. The transmission system is in a mesh-tree topology and includes a router and nodes connected to the router via a root node. A node of the nodes includes a station (STA) interface, a soft access point (AP) interface, a bridge interface, and a forwarding database (FDB), for example. Upon receiving a data frame by the node, the bridge interface of the node may search the FDB using information of the data frame for a latest data record to determine an outgoing interface address of the outgoing node so as to guide an outgoing path for the data frame. The structure of transmission system can lead to an improved adaptability and communications efficiency, and a reduced resource consumption.
