Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining positions of indoor localization beacons without requiring a physical site survey. In a coarse positioning method, a mobile node receives beacon signals that identify rooms (such as stores in a shopping mall) in which the beacons are located. The mobile node obtains floor plan information relating to the building and estimates beacon locations based on the floor plan and beacon signal strength. The estimated beacon locations may be arranged in a predetermined geometric pattern based on the number of beacons in a room. In a fine positioning method, a mobile node recognizes its proximity to a beacon and responsively measures the distance to other beacons. Estimated beacon positions may be used to estimate the location of the mobile node using trilateration or other techniques.

This allows the vehicle driver or vehicle illumination system to be focused on the obstructed area.

Abstract: A light source is provided with a digitally addressable lampshade that includes a plurality of regions of controllable opacity. Systems and methods are described for controlling the digital lampshade. In an exemplary embodiment, an addressable lampshade effects a time-varying pattern of changes to the opacity of the regions to generate a lamp identification pattern. A lamp is identified from the patterns by a camera-equipped mobile device. The mobile device then causes the identified lamp to generate a position-determining pattern of light. The mobile device determines its own position relative to the lamp based on the pattern of light received by the camera. The mobile device then instructs the digital lampshade, according to user input, to allow illumination or to provide shade at the determined position of the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for providing security to a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU). A software vulnerability ticket (SVT) may be received by a WTRU. The SVT may include a location to fetch software update information, content of the software update information, and/or an indication that an update is not available. The SVT may be stored in a memory associated with the WTRU. It may be determined (e.g., by a security agent associated with the WTRU) whether the WTRU has a fresh SVT. A security agent may run in a secure execution environment on the WTRU. The secure execution environment may not be dependent on a main operating system associated with the WTRU. If it is determined that the WTRU has a fresh SVT, a security update may be performed. If it is determined that the WTRU does not have a fresh SVT, a recovery procedure may be executed.
