Abstract: System and method for collection, control and wireless transmission of environmental and other data. Nodes may wirelessly connect to other nodes to relay node specific information, collected sensor data or commands to and from other nodes and gateway nodes linked to a central database. Nodes in gateway mode may be capable of aggregating and relaying commands and data between other nodes and a centralized database. Nodes may bypass other nodes and/or gateway nodes and communicate directly with the central database via satellite or cellular link. Nodes may be self-contained devices, inclusive of a wind or solar power source and a battery, eliminating the need for an external power source. Nodes may be configured independently or as a system to monitor and control various types of equipment including utility lines or water systems or used to collect environmental data. Nodes may communicate on different channels/frequencies based on systematic or pseudo-random changes.

Abstract: A network entity may determine whether a network context of a device is stored in the device or in the network based, at least in part, on a preference or capability of the device, as reported by the device during attachment to the network entity. The context may be stored in, and retrieved from, a dedicated context storage function that is independent of the network entity. A context storage function may be partitioned, or separate storage functions used, to automatically group and track access network contexts, core network contexts, or network slice contexts. The context storage function may provide to the device an index, such as a link or other identifier to be used in retrieving the stored context information. The context storage function may further provide a token to secure re-attachment communications among the device, the network entity, and the context storage function.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a wireless network receives telemetry data from a plurality of autonomous vehicles. The telemetry data is indicative of radio signal quality metrics experienced by the vehicles at a particular location over time. The device forms an array of wireless roaming thresholds by applying regression to the telemetry data. The device computes an optimum roaming threshold from the array of wireless roaming thresholds to be used by the vehicles when approaching the location. The device triggers, based on the computed optimum threshold, one or more of the autonomous vehicles to initiate access point roaming when approaching the particular location.
