Abstract: A more efficient antenna can be facilitated by accounting for the cable link loss associated with the distance from antenna base equipment to the antenna. As an antenna transitions between various link layers of a telecommunications network, the cable link loss can be accounted for to determine a compensation value. The compensation value can then be used to account for the cable link loss to allow for a more efficient antenna.

Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting, by a User Equipment (UE), a Device-to-Device (D2D) signal in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Time Division Duplex (TDD) system. The UE receives, from a Base Station (BS), information on a Timing Advance (TA).

The UE transmits a D2D discovery signal in a first D2D subframe configured for a D2D link. A transmission timing of the first D2D subframe is determined by applying only the predetermined timing offset to the timing of the DL subframe.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system including analog receive paths and analog transmit paths and signal processing equipment onboard a satellite, and methods for use therewith. For each of a plurality of the analog receive paths, a calibration signal is injected therein below a noise floor thereof, while the path is actively used to receive and condition an RF signal, and the calibration signal is extracted from the analog receive path after the signal has traveled through at least a portion of the path. The extracted calibration signal is compared to the injected calibration signal to determine gain and phase deviations caused by the path. Gain and phase characteristics of the analog receive paths are adjusted to compensate for different gain and phase deviations being caused by different paths. Similar techniques are used to compensate for different gain and phase deviations being caused by different analog transmit paths.

Abstract: System and method for automatic communication with remote devices enabling remote control and monitoring of the devices. The primary target is for low-power, remote devices running narrow or relatively narrow bandwidths, though the method is not restricted for any payload limits. The system enables two devices on a fully automated basis to identify each other, sound the radio paths between them to discover spectrum characteristics, select and exchange a vector of currently unused and optimum frequency bands for communication. Once defined, the devices use the frequency bands for automatic communication. The method enables devices to configure themselves for exchange of data and then the transfer of data. The base station and/or end points have the ability to initiate a connection and data transfer and use software defined radios to implement this capability.

Messages are transmitted from the vehicle over a different available network when the vehicle is substantially out of the LOS datalink network coverage area.
