The present disclosure is directed to acquisition and exchange of location data with an emergency call center using a private cellular network. A private cellular network includes a location engine configured to store specific location information of user equipment connected to the private cellular network via an access point; and at least one network element configured to receive a request for placing an emergency call from an endpoint communicatively coupled to the private cellular network; determine endpoint specific location information for the endpoint by communicating with the location engine of the private cellular network that identifies location of the endpoint within a confined space in which the private cellular network is deployed; and send the endpoint specific location information of the endpoint to an emergency service provider for dispatching to a location of the endpoint based at least in part on the endpoint specific location information.

A controller of a macro wireless network provisions a user device for access to local private networks based on the cell that the user device uses to attach to the macro wireless network. The controller obtains information on private networks operating within a coverage area of the macro wireless network. The controller associates a particular cell of the macro wireless network with one or more private networks operating within the particular cell. The controller detects a user device in the particular cell and provisions the user device with access to the one or more private networks.

A client device provides first requests for a first server to perform first information processes. The first server performs the first information processes and records first performance results and a history of the first requests in association with an identifier. In response to determining that a failure has occurred regarding the first server, the client device (a) uses the history to identify an incomplete information process that was not completed by the first server and (b) provides a second request for the second server to perform the incomplete information process, the second request including the identifier. The second server performs the incomplete information process and records a second performance result of the incomplete information process in association with the identifier. The second server provides the second performance result and the identifier to the first server. The first server records the second performance result in association with the identifier.

There is provided a method comprising determining a service coverage zone operation within a network, the network able to form a synchronised sub-network, and being associated with at least one cellular network which provides cellular access over the coverage area of the network, configuring, in dependence on the determined service coverage zone operation, a plurality of nodes of the network for providing a service coverage zone to provide at least one service, providing an indication of the service coverage zone to at least one user equipment and controlling access of the at least one user equipment to the at least one service.

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

A wireless protocol in a sensing system, including: sending, by a wireless network controller (WNC), to a plurality of wireless sensor nodes, based on a time division multiple access (TDMA), a synchronization message; and receiving, by the wireless network controller, based on the TDMA, first sensor data from each wireless sensor node of the plurality of wireless sensor nodes.

A communication point determination device for determining a communication point including a communication position being a position of a mobile body which performs close-range wireless communication with a wireless device disposed within a target area including an obstacle which obstructs propagation of radio waves includes: a first acquisition part configured to obtain a radio wave strength map indicating a distribution of a radio wave strength within the target area obtained by numerical analysis based on area shape information of the target area generated on the basis of an outer shape of the obstacle existing within the target area, installation position information of the wireless device within the target area, and radio wave information related to transmission or response of radio waves of the wireless device; and a determination part configured to determine the communication point on the basis of the radio wave strength map.
