Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods and techniques for obtaining round trip time (RTT) measurements from acquisition of signals at one or more mobile devices, the signals being transmitted by one or more transmitters; approximating locations of the one or more mobile devices while obtaining the RTT measurements; and combining the measurements to determine expected RTT signature values at discrete positions in the area based, at least in part, on the obtained RTT measurements and the approximated locations.
Abstract:
A method for generating a radio coverage map. A two-dimensional radio coverage map located between a first physical level and a second physical level is generated. The access point is located above the second physical level. The two-dimensional radio coverage map is located at a distance from the access point and comprises a plurality of map points, where the map points have a predicted received signal strength value. A projection window is determined. A projected area on the two-dimensional radio coverage map is determined by computing a geometrical projection from the access point through the projection window onto the two-dimensional radio coverage map. A plurality of first points in a first area on the two-dimensional radio coverage map is identified. The first area is outside the projected area. The predicted received signal strength value of each of the first points is reduced by a value equal to the signal attenuation caused by the second physical level.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for synchronization of sensing operations performed by a plurality of devices. The method may include collecting sensing capabilities of one or more connected devices that are communicably coupled with a central device. Each connected device may include one or more sensors, and the sensing capabilities may include at least sensor type and sensing interval for each sensor. The method may also include coordinating sensing operations performed by the central device and the one or more connected devices.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for managing a driving plan of an autonomous vehicle. The method may include obtaining observations of a neighboring vehicle using one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle. The method may also include classifying one or more behavioral driving characteristics of the neighboring vehicle based on the observations. Furthermore, the method may include updating the driving plan based on a classification of the one or more behavioral driving characteristics of the neighboring vehicle, and controlling one or more operations of the autonomous vehicle based on the updated driving plan.
Abstract:
Methods for mobility indication of wireless Access Points (APs) are disclosed. An AP may determine mobility indication information, based, in part, on at least one of: configuration information on the AP pertaining to mobility; and/or wireless signal measurements associated with the AP, and/or captured images associated with the AP, and/or sensor measurements associated with the AP. The AP may transmit the mobility indication information for the AP. The mobility indication information may indicate that the AP is mobile and/or characterize the mobility. The mobility indication information may further include a request to remove information associated with the AP from location determination databases, location assistance databases, and/or base station almanacs. Disclosed methods also pertain to a User Equipments (UE), which may receive wireless signals with mobility indication information associated with an AP; and determine a suitability of the AP for determining the UEs location based on the received mobility indication information.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for correcting clocks for a plurality of local transmitters. In one embodiment, the functions implemented include: receiving base station time from a plurality of local transmitters; assigning each local transmitter of the plurality of local transmitters to at least one subset of a plurality of subsets, wherein each subset corresponds to a single base station, and wherein each local transmitter in a particular subset receives time from a base station corresponding to the subset; selecting a single subset of local transmitters as a reference subset of local transmitters, the reference subset corresponding to a reference base station, each non-reference subset corresponding to a non-reference base station; determining a time difference between the reference base station and each of the non-reference base stations based on time received from one or more local transmitters that belong in more than one of the subsets; and transmitting the time difference to respective non-reference subsets of local transmitters.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are techniques for determining a location of an antenna supporting structure. Crowdsourced data associated with antennas that are installed on a same antenna supporting structure but are used for different air interface types and/or data from aerial images can be used, alone or in combination, to more accurately and more efficiently determine the location of the antenna supporting structure and therefore the locations of the antennas on the antenna supporting structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for providing location based services in a venue. To estimate its location, in a particular implementation, a mobile device may obtain a measurement of a range to a transponder device positioned at a known location based on measurements of a signal round-trip time (RTT) in a message exchange with the transponder device. Positioning assistance data from a server may enable the mobile device to measure a delay at the transponder device in providing a response to a probe message to thereby more accurately measure the signal RTT.
