  • Patent number: 11363419
    Abstract: A system identifies a first position of a tag in a clinical environment based on first times at which first receivers received a first wireless signal from the tag. The system estimates a second position of the tag in the clinical environment based on second times at which second receivers received a second wireless signal from the tag. The system determines that a boundary is located between the first position and the second position, defines a path range around the first position of the tag based on an expected movement of the tag during a time interval between the first and second wireless signals, determines that the boundary lacks a door within the path range, adjusts the second position of the tag based on the boundary map, and transmits a message indicating that the tag is located at the adjusted position at the second time.

  • Patent number: 11310728
    Abstract: Method, apparatus and computer program product able to determining whether a user equipment in a wireless communications network has applied a stored or acquired system information message of a new system information area within a predefined time, where the user equipment replaced a system information message of an initial system information area with a system information message of another system information area or with a cell-specific system information message of another cell. If the new system information area is equivalent to the system information area of the initial system information area, then the system information message for the initial system information area is applied. If the new system information area is different from the system information area of the initial system information area, then a system information message for that different system information area is applied.

  • Patent number: 11252651
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for selecting a network slice to which a User Equipment (UE) can connect in the telecommunications network. A Cache Inventory Repository (CIR) stores cache associations indicating content cached at each of a plurality of Cache Network Functions (Cache NFs) and the network slice in which each Cache NR is located. A Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) transmits to the CIR a request for cache data indicating a particular content cached in one or more network slices. The CIR determines the requested cache data based on the stored cache associations and transmits the requested cache data to the NSSF. The NSSF selects a network slice to which the UE can connect, based at least in part on the received cache data identifying the one or more network slices.
