Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing radio device transmitters, beams, and receivers within a power-limited system. In one embodiment, the methods and apparatus utilize so-called “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with a distributed controller architecture that dynamically allocates frequency, base station, and transmit/receive beam resources for delivery of services to a number of installed fixed wireless apparatus (FWA) at user or subscriber premises. The FWA include radio path controller logic that obtains signal data via its antennae and radio head, and transmits the data to a network centralized controller that determines the resource allocation and timing (e.g., via a slotted TDD medium) for service delivery to each FWA. As such, the base stations do not determine the allocations as in the prior art, and multiple power-limited base stations can transmit signals to a single FWA to achieve greater coverage area and/or receive aggregated power.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved geolocation in a low power wide area network are disclosed. One example method may include receiving an instruction to determine a geolocation of an end in a low power wide area network. An instruction may be transmitted to the end node for the end node to transmit a high-energy geolocation signal at a power of about 0.5 Watt to about 1 Watt. The end node may transmit the high-energy geolocation signal and a plurality of gateways of the low power wide area network may receive the high-energy geolocation signal. A plurality of receipt times may be identified. Each receipt time may be indicative of the time at which the high-energy geolocation signal was received by the respective gateway of the plurality of gateways. Based at least in part on the plurality of receipt times, a geolocation of the end node may be determined.

Abstract: A disclosed system includes a support frame including a plurality of surfaces, a millimeter-wave transmission link that generates a millimeter-wave transmission signal, a plurality of millimeter-wave array antennas, a millimeter-wave reception link, and an image processing device. The millimeter-wave array antennas are disposed on different surfaces of the support frame, and transmit millimeter-wave transmission signals from different angles to a to-be-detected object and receive echo signals reflected from the to-be-detected object. By providing the millimeter-wave array antennas on each of the plurality of surfaces of the support frame, and transmitting millimeter-wave transmission signals from different angles to a to-be-detected object and receiving echo signals reflected from different angles of the to-be-detected object, a three-dimensional image of the to-be-detected object can be established, thereby achieving omni-directional detection of the to-be-detected object.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for secondary content delivery via a network. A data stream carrying, for example, a primary content may also carry a network address of a schedule that indicates one or more times at which secondary content should be presented in coordination with the primary content. A user device may receive this data stream, and use it to obtain the secondary content and to present it with the primary content. The user device may also determine whether the schedule has changed by comparing a received network address with a previously-received network address.

Abstract: A system for providing real-time network engineering control for a network system is provided that includes an agent module for constructing and sending data queries to one or more client modules installed on the network system. The client module evaluates the query from the agent module, retrieves and structures the requested data and sends the structured requested data back to the agent module. The agent module then sends the requested data to at least one engineering control module that analyzes the requested data and responds based on the evaluation of the requested data.

In one embodiment, conflicts in PCI values which may exist within two or more mobile networks (e.g., PLMNs) of respective different operators when unlicensed spectrum is utilized (e.g., according to 3GPP 5G NR-U technology) are resolved. In one implementation, this functionality is provided by specifying one or more mobility-related parameters associated with various UE, such that serving gNBs can determine whether a given UE requires a mobility context, and as such whether it should conduct subsequent RF measurement reporting to report back potential conflicts in PCI it may encounter to the gNB. In one variant, the measurement reporting is configured to comply with 5G NR-U required “listen-before-talk” or LBT protocols; i.e., to measure parameters consistent with the LBT protocols to detect any such PCI-based conflicts.
