Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for adapting access timing parameters when using DSRC spectrum. A multi-mode device may adapt at least one access timing parameter while operating within the DSRC spectrum. The at least one access timing parameter may be adapted to provide priority to transmissions of DSRC devices using the DSRC spectrum. The multi-mode device may increase a duration of a short inter-frame spacing (SIFS) to be at least equal to a duration of a SIFS used by a DSRC device.
Abstract:
A UE receives information indicating a receive direction vector for a serving BS and a set of receive direction vectors for at least one interfering BS. The UE determines a channel between the UE and the serving BS and a set of channels between the UE and each of the at least one interfering BS. The UE determines a transmit direction vector to apply to modulated symbols for mapping to a set of resource blocks for an uplink transmission based on the channel, the set of channels, the receive direction vector, and the set of receive direction vectors. The UE determines an interference caused to the at least one interfering BS by the uplink transmission based on the transmit direction vector, the set of channels, and the set of receive direction vectors. The UE transmits information indicating the interference to the serving BS.
Abstract:
Techniques provided herein are directed toward virtually extending an updated set of output positions of a mobile device determined by a VIO by combining a current set of VIO output positions with one or more previous sets of VIO output positions in such a way that ensure all outputs positions among the various combined sets of output positions are consistent. The combined sets can be used for accurate position determination of the mobile device. Moreover, the position determination further may be based on GNSS measurements.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a fixed reference node, at least one round-trip propagation time (RTT) ranging scheduling message indicating a set of downlink (DL) ranging resource assignments and a set of uplink (UL) ranging resource grants, receives one or more DL ranging signals from the fixed reference node on a first set of resources identified by the set of DL ranging resource assignments, and transmits one or more UL ranging signals to the fixed reference node on a second set of resources identified by the set of UL ranging resource grants.

Abstract:
A range between a first wireless device and a second wireless device is estimated using a first mechanism based on messages transmitted over a first communication channel. The first communication channel is associated with a first radio access technology capability of the wireless devices. One or more metrics indicative of an accuracy of the range estimates provided by the first mechanism are obtained. A second mechanism to estimate a range between the first wireless device and the second wireless device may be implemented in favor of the first mechanism when the metric fails to satisfy a criterion. The second mechanism is based on unicast messages transmitted over a second communication channel. The second communication channel is associated with a second radio access technology capability of the wireless devices and may be the same as, or different from, the first communication channel.
Abstract:
Determining a position of a device using a signal received from a reference emitter includes: receiving the signal; determining a state of a first filter, the state of the first filter including a first carrier phase ambiguity estimate that includes a floating value; determining a state of a second filter, the state of the second filter including a second carrier phase ambiguity estimate that includes a fixed value; determining whether the state of the second filter is consistent with one other filter state or measurement; maintaining the state of the second filter in response to the device determining that the state of the second filter is consistent with the other filter state; changing the state of the second filter to the state of the first filter in response to the device determining that the state of the second filter is not consistent with the other filter state.
Abstract:
A method for aligning visual-inertial odometry (VIO) and satellite positioning system (SPS) reference frames includes obtaining a plurality of range-rate measurements of a mobile platform from an SPS. The range-rate measurements are with respect to a global reference frame of the SPS. The method also includes obtaining a plurality of VIO velocity measurements of the mobile platform from a VIO system. The VIO velocity measurements are with respect to a local reference frame of the VIO system. At least one orientation parameter is then determined to align the local reference frame with the global reference frame based on the range-rate measurements and the VIO velocity measurements.
Abstract:
Techniques provided herein are directed toward selecting GNSS measurements to greatly improve the position accuracy while keeping the complexity bounded. Specifically, only subset of available GNSS measurements in a window of time is selected for outlier rejection and estimation algorithms, where GNSS measurements are selected such that corresponding measurement locations are spaced with at least a minimum distance.
Abstract:
Techniques provided herein are directed toward reducing inaccuracies in a fused GNSS/VIO output by comparing GNSS/VIO position candidates with an estimated position based on VIO propagation or other motion detection. If, for a given GNSS epoch, none of the position candidates are within a threshold distance of the estimated position, the estimated position is used as the determined position for the epoch. In some embodiments, least some of the GNSS measurements used in determining the position candidates may be removed for subsequent outlier rejection and position estimation.
