Abstract: A periodic quiet interval is provided for base stations attempting to access a shared transmission medium in NR-U. The base station activates a quiet interval at a periodic interval and transmits on the medium based on the quiet interval. The base station may reduce a Tx power, not transmit, and/or may increase a minimum value of a contention window for BEB during the quiet interval. The base station may receive a request from a second base station to activate the quiet interval, and may determine if a Tx power of the base station is larger than the maximum Tx power of the second base station. The base station may also receive the request as relayed through a UE. The quiet interval can thus ameliorate a starvation effect of BEB in NR-U by allowing base stations with smaller Tx power greater opportunity to control the medium while maintaining BEB in NR-U.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network such as a cellular network, cellular devices may receive over-the-air (OTA) configuration commands that specify requested device configuration settings. For example, an OTA configuration command may be a binary short message service (SMS) message specifying a configuration parameter and a requested value of the configuration parameter. Upon receiving an OTA configuration command, the cellular device refers to a blockchain that specifies permissible values for various configuration parameters. If a requested configuration parameter value is not indicated by the blockchain to be permissible, the cellular device disregards the OTA configuration command and refuses to implement the requested setting. The cellular device may periodically retrieve updates to the blockchain and may attempt to validate any updated blocks, based on previously validated blocks. If the updates cannot be validated, the cellular device may decline to implement any requested configuration settings.

Abstract: Estimating a location of a device at a particular point of time may incorporate one, two, or more different location data points. The location data points may be derived from communications networks, where there may be different mechanisms for determining location. As part of the location estimation, each cellular location in a cellular network may have a different error range associated with each cell, for example. The error range for each cell may be generated by collecting precise location data from Global Positioning System or other mechanism with high accuracy, and comparing that data to location data gathered from other sources. A database of error ranges for each cell and each location mechanism may be gathered and used to estimate the actual location of a device for a given time period.

Abstract: Real time status of a device's movements may be determined from a sequence of location observations. The status may be in the form of a state, which may be “stay”, “transit”, “pause”, and “unknown”. A state transition may occur from transit to stay when the device has remained within a predefined radius for a predefined time period. Prior to being labeled a “stay”, a device that may have ceased moving but has not stayed at that location for enough time may be labeled “pause”. For those devices in a “transit” state, a mode of transport may be determined. The real time analysis system may be a low-overhead mechanism by which new location observations may be received and processed. The resulting data may be used by traffic analysts to monitor congestion, for real time traffic data for commuters, and other uses.

Abstract: A method for determining a location of a vehicle access device relative to a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a first communication node of the vehicle, an advertisement from the vehicle access device, and transmitting a connection request to the vehicle access device associated with the received advertisement. The method includes establishing, at the first communication node, a connection with the vehicle access device, and determining a general location of the vehicle access device. When the general location of the vehicle access device is less than a threshold distance, the method includes transmitting, from the first communication node, a high duty cycle advertisement command to a second communication node in communication with the first communication node. The method includes receiving, at the first communication node, a signal from the vehicle access device, the signal indicative of a location of the vehicle access device relative to the vehicle.

Abstract: A message communicating system to allow emergency personnel, who may be in an emergency vehicle, to transmit an emergency message to a target person, who may be in a motor vehicle, to encourage, suggest or demand the target person take appropriate action, such as moving out of the way or pulling over, to benefit the emergency personnel and the target person. The system has a transmitter associated with the emergency personnel to transmit an electronic signal carrying the message and an electronic device, such as a radio, cell phone or loudspeaker, associated with the target person to receive the message and communicate the message to the target person. The transmitter can limit the distance of the electronic signal to a signal radius so only target persons in the signal radius will receive the message. Security codes can be used to allow the two devices to securely link together.
