Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate wireless device positioning based on cell portion specific Positioning Reference Signals (PRSs) by multiple Transmit Points (TPs) in a shared cell. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a TP in a cellular communications network is provided. The TP is one of multiple of non-co-located TPs of a shared cell that has a shared cell identifier. The method of operation of the TP comprises transmitting a PRS having at least one parameter that is a function of a cell portion identifier of the TP, where the at least one parameter comprises a frequency-shift of the PRS, a portion of a system bandwidth in which the PRS is transmitted, and/or a PRS sequence used for the PRS. By transmitting cell-portion-specific PRSs, the TPs in the shared cell enable wireless device positioning based on PRSs transmitted by the non-co-located TPs.

Abstract: A student tracking system deploys distributed sensors throughout a school building. The distributed sensors receive identification information broadcast by user devices carried by occupants of the school such as students, teachers and school administrators. The student tracking system tracks the location of the occupants within the building based on which sensors most recently detected the user devices. The system sends the location information for the occupants to tracking devices operated by tracking users such as school administrators, emergency responders and/or parents. The tracking devices also present to the parents image data captured by surveillance cameras depicting the students. Additionally, the distributed sensors detect the presence of unauthorized individuals within the school building by determining whether an individual detected via a proximity or motion detector corresponds to identification information for a registered user device received by the sensors.

Abstract: Depth estimates for an object made by one or more sensors of a vehicle may be refined using locations of environmental attributes that are proximate the object. An image captured of the object proximate an environmental attribute may be analyzed to determine where the object is positioned relative to the environmental attribute. A machine-learned model may be used to detect the environmental attribute, and a location of the environmental attribute may be determined from map data. A probability of a location of the object may be determined based on the known location of the environmental attribute. The location probability of the object may be used to refine depth estimates generated by other means, such as a monocular depth estimation from an image using computer vision.

Abstract: Disclosed are an IMS user registration method and device.
