Abstract: The middle subcarrier of the baseband OFDM signal of each numerology may need to be shifted appropriately with respect to other numerologies to comply with a nested grid. These shifts can be signalled to the UE with an associated overhead. Methods and systems are provided to reduce overhead for OFDM communication. Reduced overhead can translate into increased bandwidth for the system, and/or reduced power/battery consumption in the UE. A transmitter generates an OFDM signal associated with a first subcarrier spacing of a first numerology (?), a middle subcarrier frequency of a set of usable resource blocks (RBs) of the first numerology being offset from a carrier frequency by a first offset having a value (k0,x?) in units of subcarriers, the value of the first offset being defined by a specific formula. The transmitter transmits the OFDM signal according to the first subcarrier spacing and the first offset.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for multi-hop path selection for mobile robots based on cloud platform providing an optimal path for end-to-end communication in the multi-hop network. Multi-hop path selection for mobile robots, conventionally performed at mobile robot end, may not provide an optimal path as mobile robots are unaware of the global scenario of the multi-hop network. Further, computation at mobile robot end is not an energy efficient solution. The disclosed cloud system communicates the optimal path to the source mobile robot to reach the destination mobile robot through the plurality of Access Points (APs). Multi-hop path selection for mobile robots, currently performed at mobile robot end, may not provide an optimal path as mobile robots are unaware of the global scenario of the multi-hop network. The optimal path computed at cloud system increases the life-time of robotics network there by increasing the efficiency.
