Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a beam reporting and identification system that can use two different types of signals as reference signals when reporting on beam strengths. The user equipment device can send a unified report that reports on each of the different types of reference signals using a unified beam index. In an embodiment, the first type of reference signal can be a user equipment (UE) specific reference signal, such as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), while the second type of signal used as a reference signal can be a synchronization signal (SS), received as an SS block. The unified index, where SS blocks are grouped into a number of groups, allows for the same number of bits to report on both synchronization signals and CSI-RS signals in the same report.

The first wireless communication device yields, in response to the first forward data transmission request signal, access to a channel resource for the first feedback transmission based on at least an interference tolerance level of the second wireless communication device and an interference level on the first feedback transmission from the first wireless communication device.

Abstract: Real-time zone events are tracked within a venue by detecting real-time location and movement of multiple mobile devices relative to a set of short-distance wireless device location detection sensors positioned within the venue. The zone events represent differences of relative movements, coincident similar real-time movements, and measured dwelling times of multiple mobile devices within the venue as users of the respective mobile devices move across boundaries of, move within, and dwell within the multiple configured zones of the venue. A relationship is inferred between at least two of the users responsive to a configured zone event threshold being satisfied by the tracked zone events of the two users.
