Abstract: A sensing architecture and method of determining that a specific movement occurred near the STA are disclosed. WLAN signals such as WiFi are transmitted at a predetermined rate from at least one transmit antenna on a mobile device. The WLAN signals are received by a plurality of receive antennas on a mobile device. The receive antennas are line-of-sight shielded from the transmit antenna. A determination of whether an object is proximate to the mobile device is made based on variations in channel state, as measured at receive antennas. The mobile device state is altered in response to a determination that a specific movement occurred near the STA.

Abstract: Various methods and devices for positioning autonomous agents including verifying a reported agent location using physical attributes of the received signal; improving agent formation for iterative localization; selecting agents for distributed task sharing; intelligent beacon-placement for group localization; relative heading and orientation determination utilizing time of flight; and secure Instrument Landing System (ILS) implementation for unmanned agents.

Abstract: A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to establish direct transport layer connectivity with a selected UE. An internet protocol (IP) address of the UE can be sent to a Proximity Services (ProSe) server. A user application identification (ID) and ProSe server ID of the selected UE can be requested from an application server. A user application ID and ProSe server ID can be received from the application server. A facilitation message can be sent to the ProSe server in communication with the UE, wherein the facilitation message includes a request to facilitate direct transport layer connectivity between the UE and the selected UE for a selected application.

Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) contention management systems and methods provide managed offloading of cellular network traffic through a contention-based network. For each link in a group of links between nodes in the contention-based network, a link cost is calculated to determine a number of potential links that may interfere with the link, if activated. Each link is evaluated in the order of ascending link cost to determine whether it complies with predefined conditions and whether activating the link increases or decreases D2D network throughput. If the link increases throughput, the link is activated.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to efficient network-assisted communication between user equipment (“UE”). A first UE may be adapted to determine a plurality of hash values associated with provision of a resource by the first UE. The first UE may further determine a port at which the resource is available to be provided. The first UE may communicate this information to a server. Where a second UE wishes to consume the resource, the second UE may determine a plurality of hash values that correspond to those determined by the first UE. The second UE may transmit these determined hash values to the server. In response, the server may transmit the port and an IP address associated with the first UE to the second UE. The server may further facilitate D2D communication between the UEs for provision of the resource. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
