    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes transmitting data from a satellite using a ground station configured to both transmit and receive, and a set of ground stations configured to receive data from a satellite. An orbit of the satellite is determined over a schedule period and a subset of ground stations configured to receive data and not transmit data to the satellite is identified based on the determined orbit of the satellite. A transmission schedule associated with the satellite is then generated. For each ground station of the subset, a time interval during which the satellite is within communication range is determined, an expected transmission rate is estimated, and the time interval and the expected transmission rate are included in the transmission schedule. The transmission schedule is provided to the satellite via another ground station configured to both transmit and receive, whereby the satellite is configured to transmit data to the subset of ground stations based on the transmission schedule.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing an indication of an integrity of an object based on a non-invasive assessment of the integrity of the object using acoustic signature management engine in object integrity sensing system. In operation, an aggregate object-intermediate-medium sound of an object in an intermediate medium is detected (e.g., via sensors). An acoustic signature of the aggregate object-intermediate-medium sound is generated as a processed acoustic channel associated with statistical measurements. A reference acoustic signature of the object and intermediate medium is accessed. The reference acoustic signature is associated with an acoustic signature computation model, that generates reference acoustic signatures based on a mean and standard deviation measurements of input signals transmitted through the object and intermediate medium. A determination whether the object has impaired integrity is determined based on a quantified difference between the acoustic signature of the aggregate object-intermediate-medium sound and the reference acoustic signature.

    Abstract: A base station utilizes duty cycle requirements of each of multiple base station components to efficiently consume power. The base station may include a synchronization module that allows the base station to send collected data from a cache to a gateway, which then, sends it up to the cloud. The base station may also include a sensor connectivity module that establishes a connection between the base station and data collecting devices deployed to collect data for storage in the cache. A base station controller serves as the cache for the data collected by the sensor module and sends the data to the gateway for synchronization in the cloud using the synchronization module. A base station controller determines/coordinates the duty cycle of the sensor connectivity module and synchronization module in a power efficient way depending on the current power available to the base station, network needs, and the weather conditions.

    Abstract: This disclosure details a base station and client devices using dynamic spectrum access for communication within a frequency spectrum by selecting channels dynamically for efficient communication. This includes identifying active uplink and downlink channels from an available list and allocating them to multiple client devices based on their locations, with some devices sharing common active channels. A downlink channel is designated as a beaconing channel, used for beaconing with embedded information, including the coordinates of a region among a plurality of regions, available channels for the region, and a buffer slot in the channels, during a beaconing period occurring outside regular transmission times. Acknowledgments with medium access control (MAC) commands for an identified subset of client devices sharing an active channel are grouped and transmitted, with each message in the plurality of messages on the uplink channels followed by a downlink acknowledgment.

    Abstract: The disclosure described herein configures a base station and client devices for communication using dynamic spectrum access within a frequency spectrum that includes selecting, from a list of available channels, a set of channels as active channels. The active channels include uplink channels and downlink channels, and the active channels are distributed among a plurality of base station radios of a base station. A different channel is assigned to different base station radios. At least one uplink channel and at least one downlink channel are assigned to a plurality of client devices based on locations the client devices, wherein at least some client devices have active channels in common. The client devices having the active channels in common are also grouped on shared channels and time slots assigned to the client devices in the group, thereby allowing narrowband communication over the channels by the client devices.

    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes transmitting data from a satellite using a primary ground station and a set of secondary ground stations. An orbit of the satellite is determined over a schedule period and a subset of secondary ground stations is identified based on the determined orbit of the satellite, wherein secondary ground stations are configured to receive from the satellite and not transmit to the satellite. A transmission schedule associated with the satellite is then generated. For each secondary ground station of the subset, a time interval during which the satellite is within communication range is determined, an expected transmission rate is estimated, and the time interval and the expected transmission rate are included in the transmission schedule. The transmission schedule is provided to the satellite via the primary ground station, whereby the satellite is configured to transmit data to the subset of ground stations based on the transmission schedule.
