  • Patent number: 10498467
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a motion detection system manages leaf nodes used for sounding by one or more access points. For example, an access point identifies one or more static leaf nodes based on presence activity of each leaf node in a calibration window. A health score is determined for each AP-leaf node link for each calibration window based on AP-leaf node link quality information. One or more of the static leaf nodes are selected to be used for sounding in the motion detection system based on the health scores for each of the AP-leaf node links. The motion detection system is then updated to use the selected one or more static leaf nodes for motion detection.

  • Patent number: 10382308
    Abstract: The systems and methods discussed herein provide for a predictive monitoring technique to suppress data exchange between the client device or devices and the monitoring device or devices. Regression-based intelligent predictions systems executed both by the client device or devices and the monitoring device or devices perform identical prediction algorithms. If the predicted metric values and the actual measured metric values on the client device are very close, then the client device may skip transmitting the measured metric values to the monitoring device; similarly, if a measured metric value is not received by the monitoring device, then the monitoring device knows that the measured metric was similar to the predicted metric on the client device, and accordingly may utilize the predicted metric on the monitoring device. Because transmission of the measured metric values may be skipped, network traffic and interface and processor utilization is significantly decreased.

  • Patent number: 10314062
    Abstract: A method, system and device are provided for avoiding in-device coexistence interference between different radio technologies deployed in adjacent bands on the same device by allocating a non-interfering downlink signaling channel for downlink reception of interference avoidance instructions at the UE device. In operation, a user equipment device detects IDC interference and sends an IDC indication message to the radio network to get an appropriate solution, but instead of waiting at the current frequency to receive the IDC response from the radio network, the user equipment device moves to a non-interfering downlink signaling channel for downlink reception of interference avoidance instructions.

  • Patent number: 10285114
    Abstract: Neutral host networks may offer one or more different services via one or more different service providers, but user equipment (UE) may not necessarily know which services/service providers are offered by the neutral host networks. Accordingly, nodes of the neutral host networks (e.g., an access point, such as an evolved Node B (eNB)) may transmit service discovery information (SDI) to advertise the one or more services or service providers offered by the node and/or the neutral host network. Thus, a UE can receive the SDI via broadcast by the node, dedicated message from the node, etc., and can accordingly present at least a portion of the SDI or determine whether to connect to the node or another node of the neutral host network based at least in part on the SDI.
