  • Patent number: 11102750
    Abstract: A method for estimating a location of a target Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) device includes obtaining relative locations of three or more WLAN devices. Respective distances are measured between each of the WLAN devices and the target WLAN device. The location of the target WLAN device is estimated based on the locations of the WLAN devices and on the measured distances, wherein measuring a distance between a WLAN device and the target WLAN device includes: exchanging WLAN signals, detecting a first leakage signal by a receiver of the WLAN device, detecting a second leakage signal by the receiver of the target WLAN device, calculating time differences between a time a WLAN signal was sent and a time a leakage signal was detected, and subtracting the time differences one from the other to obtain a time-of-flight that corresponds to the distance between the WLAN device and the target WLAN device.

  • Patent number: 11102699
    Abstract: A wireless communication relay wirelessly serves User Equipment (UEs) with wireless data services. Relay circuitry tests data throughputs over a Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) network Transceiver (XCVR), Long Term Evolution (LTE) network XCVR, and wireline network XCVR. The relay circuitry selects sets of network XCVRs for the user XCVRs based on the data throughput testing. The relay circuitry indicates the selected network XCVRs to the user XCVRs. The user XCVRs wirelessly exchange user data with the wireless UEs and exchange the user data with the selected network XCVRs. The selected network XCVRs exchange the user data with one or more data communication networks.

  • Patent number: 11102610
    Abstract: A user device includes and maintains a geolocation list (GLL) including sets of information corresponding to Citizens Broadband radio Services Devices (CBSDs). The GLL stored in the user device contains entries corresponding to the areas most recently visited by the UE, each entry including location information of a CBSD. User devices typically frequent a limited set of the same areas repetitively. Thus this maintained relatively small list provides the UE with a highly relevant set of information which can be quickly accessed without additional wireless signaling and the additional power loss associated with a typical search. When the UE desires to find and connect to a CBSD, the UE first searches its GLL for a CBSD providing coverage in its currently located area. However, if GLL search does not identify a CBSD, then the UE sends a request to a geolocation server for active CBSDs.
