  • Patent number: 9944391
    Abstract: A system and method for a providing a dynamic backhaul. In one example, the system includes a self-positionable wireless device (for example, a drone) including a dual-band radio configured to establish a wireless connection between the self-positionable wireless device and a wireless system. The dual-band radio initiates a narrowband wireless link with the wireless system via a first narrowband antenna of the self-positionable wireless device and a second narrowband antenna of the wireless system. A navigation system generates location, velocity and error estimate of the self-positionable wireless device. The location is transmitted to the wireless system using the narrowband wireless link. The self-positionable wireless device receives via the narrowband wireless link location, velocity and error estimate of the wireless system.

  • Patent number: 9763026
    Abstract: A server that communicates with a remote device in a machine to machine wireless communication network. The server includes an input/output interface, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores a context-aware dictionary manager executable by the processor, and a contextual correlations database having a plurality of correlations. The context-aware dictionary manager is configured to establish a current context associated with the remote device, search the contextual correlations database using the current context, identify a correlation match with the current context and one of the plurality of correlations, and communicate, via the input/output interface, the entry associated with the correlation match to the remote device for adding to a dictionary at the remote device. Also disclosed is a method of finding and maintaining correlations in the machine to machine system.
