    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sending a reduced size message. One of the methods includes receiving, by a wireless device, a request to send, over a wireless network, a message comprising one or more phrases; determining that a connection quality for the wireless network does not satisfy a connection quality threshold; generating, responsive to determining that the connection quality threshold is not satisfied, a reduced-size message based at least in part on the one or more phrases; and sending, by the wireless device and via the wireless network, the reduced-size message.

    Abstract: Techniques for performing various communications functionality based on detecting a bump condition and/or close proximity between wireless devices. A wireless access point may be configured to automatically initiate an authentication procedure with a User Equipment (UE) device in response to detecting a bump condition and/or detecting a particular proximity between the UE device and the wireless access point. The particular proximity may be detected based on a signal strength of a radio frequency signal. The wireless access point may also be configured to disable a security protocol. A UE device may be configured to participate in an authentication procedure and/or automatically transfer data to the wireless access point in response to detecting a bump condition and/or detecting a particular proximity.

    Abstract: Automatic caller switching in a cellular voice call. A first voice call may be initiated between a first wireless user equipment (UE) device and a second UE via a cellular network. An indication may be received to switch calling parties for the first voice call. A second voice call may be established between the first UE and the second UE via the cellular network in response to the indication to switch calling parties for the first voice call. The calling and called parties may be reversed (switched) for the second voice call relative to the first voice call. The first voice call may be disconnected.

    Abstract: A method and system are described for proximity detection performed at an electronic device. In the described embodiments, an application is executing on the electronic device. The electronic device determines a target wireless signal strength based on a target distance. The electronic device receives a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wireless signal from a second electronic device and generates a received wireless signal strength based on the received BLE wireless signal. The electronic device then compares the received wireless signal strength to the target wireless signal strength and on the condition that the received wireless signal strength exceed the target wireless signal strength, the electronic device performs one or more operations wherein the one or more operations include restricting a functionality of the application.

    Abstract: A method for selecting an out of service (OOS) scan mode for a wireless communication device is provided. The method can include the wireless communication device detecting occurrence of an OOS condition; setting a displacement threshold in response to the OOS condition; determining a displacement magnitude indicative of a distance traveled by the wireless communication device during the OOS condition; determining whether the displacement magnitude exceeds the displacement threshold; using a first scan mode to scan for network coverage in an instance in which it is determined that the displacement magnitude exceeds the displacement threshold; and using a second scan mode to scan for network coverage in an instance in which it is determined that the displacement magnitude does not exceed the displacement threshold. The first scan mode can have a greater scan frequency than the second scan mode.

    Abstract: A wireless network may include network equipment such as base stations that operate within cells and that communicate with user equipment (UE) devices. The network equipment may harvest anonymized data from the UE devices and may generate connection counts based on the anonymized data. The network equipment may estimate the total population of each cell based on the connection counts, may generate a maximum number of individuals allowed in the cells under a social distancing guideline, and may compare the estimated total population of the cells to the maximum number of individuals. Cells having an estimated total population that exceeds the maximum number of individuals may be labeled as cells having poor social distancing. Information may be provided to a UE device identifying these cells to allow a user to make informed decisions on where to travel without exposing private information to the network.

    Abstract: A communications system may include a data collection server (DCS) that receives contextual information from a set of UE devices. The DCS may aggregate the contextual information into a database. A given UE may proactively identify an optimal network configuration to use in communicating with a cellular network. The UE may generate local contextual information. The UE may request a set of entries from the database corresponding to a set of geographic tiles overlapping or neighboring its location. The UE may select the optimal network configuration based on its local contextual information and the requested entries. The UE may transmit a request to a base station to perform communications under the optimal network configuration using user equipment assistance information (UAI) of a radio resource control (RRC) signal. Proactive selection of the network configuration may optimize performance given the current UE operating context without requiring reactive network configuration adjustments.
