  • Publication number: 20210405173
    Abstract: A sensor system for determining occupancy in a space generally includes a transmitter radio device that transmits radio signals over a channel in the space; a receiver radio device that receives the transmitted radio signals that have traveled through the space; and at least one processor implementing an occupancy-centric algorithm that determines occupancy in the space based on the radio signals. The at least one processor determines channel state information based on the radio signals transmitted over the channel, determines occupancy in the space based on the channel state information, and outputs an occupancy signal based on the determined occupancy.

  • Patent number: 7839847
    Abstract: A system receives a packet at a router, and pushes a label onto a label stack. The label stack is associated with the packet. The system provides a forwarding record containing label bindings for the router, and transmits the forwarding record to a collector. A system receives a forwarding record from a router. The system compares a first record entry type of the forwarding record with a second record entry type of the forwarding record to determine the traffic flow in the network. The system then maps the traffic flow in the network, based on a result of the comparing.
