A method of coordinating a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) includes aggregating, with a gateway, communications interfaces between a plurality of RANs and a packet core network through the gateway. A plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in each of the RANs is communicatively coupled to the gateway and to user equipment (UE) devices associated with the RNs in each of the RANs. The gateway also controls and coordinates mobility of the UE devices within and among the RANs. In addition, the gateway acts as a virtual enhanced NodeB (eNB) to the packet core network, thereby hiding the aggregated communications interfaces from the packet core network.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for setting a reminder triggered by a target device. A requesting device sends a request to a server to set a notification triggered by a target device. The request includes parameters, such as a location and a condition that define when the notification is triggered. The server sends instruction to the target device to set the notification based on the parameters. When the condition such as arrival is met by the target device in relation to the location the target device sends a message to the server that the notification has been triggered. The target device can set a geo-fence to determine the position of the target device in relation to the location, and the requesting user can dictate the size of the geo-fence. The server sends a message to the requesting device that the notification has been triggered.

A system described herein may provide a technique for location-based handling of discovery requests in a service-based network in which different instances of network functions (“NFs”) may be deployed in geographically diverse locations. For example, a Network Repository Function (“NRF”) may maintain location information for the various NF instances and may respond to discovery requests by identifying particular NF instances based on locations associated with the discovery requests. For example, such discovery requests may include a “preferred-locality” parameter or some other indication of location associated with the discovery request, based on which the NRF may identify one or more NF instances to provide in response to the discovery request.

A method in a first wireless communication device for displaying current location information representing a current location of a second wireless communication device. The method entails, from within a communication application executing on a processor of the first wireless communication device, receiving the current location information representing the current location of the second wireless communication device, performing a reverse look-up of the received current location of the second wireless communication device to determine address information, displaying a map from within the communication application, and identifying the received current location information on the displayed map with a name associated with the determined address information.

A method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium for network communication are provided. A first network entity sends a first request message to a second network entity. The first request message includes at least one piece of first network parameter type information, and is used to enable the second network entity to be triggered to send a first message to a third network entity according to a preset event. The first message includes at least one portion of network parameter information corresponding to the first network parameter type information. The first network entity receives a first reply message returned by the second network entity in response to the first request message. Using the present disclosure, the first network entity can dynamically manage an instantiation of the third network entity, and the authority of the third network entity to obtain network parameters.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for UE assisted mobility management. A UE may receive, from a network, an initial list of measurement cells, filter the initial list of measurement cells based on criteria to generate an optimized cell list, perform cell measurements based on the optimized cell list, and report, to the network, cell measurements based on the optimized cell list. The criteria may be based, at least in part, on at least one of UE location, UE mobility pattern, and/or UE privacy preservation. The UE may use a geolocation and/or a mobility pattern of the UE and geolocations of cells to filter out cells. The UE may use a privacy preservation algorithm on a previously filtered list of measurement cells to filter out cells to avoid allowing the network to estimate a geolocation of the UE based on the reported measurements.

A server includes a network interface to interface with mobile computing devices operating within a geographical area, with at least one of the mobile computing devices providing a request for navigation instructions between two geo-locations based on prompting the user to select an optimized connectivity route prompt. A processor is coupled to the network interface and is configured to generate a network connectivity map based on varying cellular network connectivity metrics for the geographical area, and generate, based on the user-selected optimized connectivity route prompt, the navigation instructions between the two geo-locations to be provided to the at least one mobile communications device via said network interface. The navigation instructions are generated based on the network connectivity map to provide a single route that is optimized to include areas with strong cellular network connectivity metric values.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system. An example method generally includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE) through a serving network entity, a request for information from the V2X application server, wherein the request includes an indication of a type of the requested information and a location of the UE; identifying one or more parameters for transmission of the requested information to the UE via a transmitter UE; and transmitting, to the serving network entity, the requested information for transmission to the UE through the transmitter UE based on the identified parameters.

Methods for providing track condition information include receiving, at a first mobile track control station, a track condition notification. Such methods further include transmitting, from the first mobile track control station to a second mobile track control station in a network of mobile track control stations, the track condition notification. Such methods further include receiving, at the first mobile track control station from a third mobile track control station, affected track sector data regarding an affected track sector. Such methods further include transmitting, from the first mobile track control station to a first mobile track information station within a first vehicle, the affected track sector data, wherein the affected track sector data is configured to be used by the first mobile track information station to determine whether the first vehicle is within the affected track sector.

A positioning system for position determination in a goods logistics facility and a method for operating same. The positioning system includes a plurality of permanently installed anchor nodes that represent reference points in a common coordinate system. The positioning system is configured to determine a distance from a first anchor node to a second anchor node.
