Abstract: An autonomous transport device system is enabled for one or more autonomous vehicles and autonomous surface delivery devices. Specific pickup and drop off zones for package delivery and user transport may be defined. The system leverages an artificial intelligence based learning algorithm to understand various environments. Packages may be dropped off in the geofenced areas. In some instances, packages may be stored in hidden areas that are purposely cached local to a likely delivery area. Some areas may be marked for pickup and drop off. Shippers may cache certain packages proximate to locations based on demand, joint distribution centers, and the presence of multiple transport devices including rovers, drones, UAVs, and autonomous vehicles.

Abstract: In order to address the potential for antenna failure in large antenna arrays, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication, e.g., at a base station or CPE. The apparatus detects a failure of a plurality of antenna elements in an antenna array associated with an antenna module in an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna modules. The apparatus then applies a mitigation procedure in response to detecting the failure, e.g., when a fraction of antenna elements for which a failure is detected meets a threshold. The mitigation procedure may include any of switching to a different codebook, increasing DL or UL transmission power, or a VGA. The failure may be detected by transmitting pilot signals using sets of antenna elements of the antenna array and using signal strength measurements to detect antenna element failures.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software technology for providing access control with respect to bots is disclosed herein. In an implementation, an access control service monitors a location of a device with respect to a geographic area. In response to when the device has entered the geographic area, the service grants a bot associated with the geographic area with access to the device. The service may grant the bot with continued access to the device if an end-user conversed with the bot while it had access. However, the service may deny the bot the continued access to the device if the end-user did not converse with the bot.

Abstract: A method of enabling a first wireless information device to access absolute location data in which the first wireless information device does not possess its own absolute location finding system but is instead able to receive, over a wireless network, absolute location data from a second wireless information device that does have its own absolute location finding system. The present invention hence enables wireless information devices to share absolute location data: for example, a mobile telephone with GPS capability can be used as a local “beacon” to broadcast its absolute location to any nearby devices over a personal area wireless network (e.g. a Bluetooth network) so that those nearby devices can use that location data. Hence, a camera with no location finding system of its own could obtain location data from a nearby GPS equipped mobile telephone over a Bluetooth PAN and watermark its images with location data.

Abstract: Users may enroll one or more devices based on device information and a resource information associated with a resource. Such information and identifiers may be tokenized according to a hash algorithm to generate an enrolled user token. This enrolled user token may be utilized to verify communications and status changes of the user device.

Abstract: Improved downlink control information decoding is disclosed herein. Downlink control information, can be in different formats depending on the rank of transmission from the network to the user equipment device. For instance, if the transmission rank is between 1 and 4, the transmission will be a single codeword transmission, while a rank of 5-8 can have two codewords. The downlink control information can have a different format, or structure depending on the number of codewords. The user equipment device can predict whether a single codeword transmission or a multicode codeword transmission is more likely, and attempt to decode the downlink control information using the corresponding format. If the first pass is unsuccessful, the user equipment device can make a second pass decoding based on the alternate format of downlink control information.
