Patent number: 11460533Abstract: A method for locating a portable radio unit (TF) within a predetermined area (AB, IB) of a vehicle (FZ) has the following steps. A first radio signal (FS1) is transmitted from a vehicle-based position (PO1) outside the vehicle. Further, a second radio signal (FS2) is transmitted from a vehicle-based position (PO2) inside the vehicle. Values (R1, R2) of the respective measured reception field strengths of the first and second radio signals at the location (OF) of the portable radio unit or a value derived therefrom is/are received. Finally, the location (OF) of the portable radio unit is ascertained on the basis of a comparison of the values of the respective measured reception field strengths. In this manner, a simple and reliable way of locating a portable radio unit is also made possible using radio-frequency radio signals.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2016Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Inventor: Stefan Hermann

Patent number: 11444683Abstract: In a wireless communication network, an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) receives signaling for a wireless relay and transfers a slice request to a Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF). The NSSF transfers a network slice Identifier (ID) and relay slice IDs to the AMF. The AMF transfers the network slice ID and the relay slice IDs to a Session Management Function (SMF). The SMF instantiates a network User Plane Function (UPF) responsive to the network slice ID. The SMF instantiates relay UPFs in the wireless relay responsive to the relay slice IDs. The wireless relay wirelessly exchanges data with the UEs. The relay UPFs process the user data for the relay slices. The wireless relay wirelessly exchanges the user data with the wireless access node which exchanges the data with the network UPF. The network UPF processes the user data for the network slice.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Marouane Balmakhtar, Lyle Walter Paczkowski
