Abstract: An aircraft satellite communications system that communicates using satellite frequency bands. The aircraft satellite communications system comprises a base structure, transmitters, and receivers. The base structure has connectors arranged to correspond to connection points on an aircraft. The transmitters are connected to the base structure. The transmitters are configured to transmit using a first plurality of the satellite frequency bands. The receivers are connected to the base structure. The receivers are configured to receive using a second plurality of the satellite frequency bands. A selected transmitter in the transmitters transmits using a satellite frequency band in the satellite frequency bands is positioned at a distance from a selected receiver in the receivers using the satellite frequency band in the satellite frequency bands on the base structure with a number of other transmitters and receivers located between the selected transmitter and the selected receiver on the base structure.

Abstract: A Method and Apparatus for sidelink positioning is provided. The method includes receiving a SystemInformationBlock12 in a first cell, initiating sidelink positioning in the first cell if the SystemInformationBlock12 includes a sl-PositioningAllowed field set to a first value, and performing sidelink positioning based on a sidelink positioning resource pool or based on a specific sidelink resource pool. Configuration information of the specific sidelink resource pool includes sl_Pos_Allowed field set to a first value. The SystemInformationBlock12 includes a SL-ConfigCommonNR and a SL_Pos_ConfigCommon. The SL_Pos_ConfigCommon includes a one or more Sl_Pos_ResourcePool IEs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for redacting documents is provided herein. During operation, a call is received from a caller and an identity of the caller is determined. Electronic paperwork related to a particular incident is retrieved. Witness statements from the caller along with past correspondences of the caller are analyzed to determine the caller's knowledge of the incident. Redaction of the electronic paperwork then takes place based on the caller's knowledge of the incident. In particular, items such as addresses, phone numbers, times, places, . . . , etc. that are potentially unknown to the caller are redacted so that the called party will not inadvertently disclose this information to the caller.
