Abstract: Vehicles may have the capability to navigate according to various levels of autonomous capabilities, the vehicle having a different set of autonomous competencies at each level. In certain situations, the vehicle may shift from one level of autonomous capability to another. The shift may require more or less driving responsibility from a human operator. Sensors inside the vehicle collect human operator parameters to determine an alertness level of the human operator. An alertness level is determined based on the human operator parameters and other data including historical data or human operator-specific data. Notifications are presented to the user based on the determined alertness level that are more or less intrusive based on the alertness level of the human operator and on the urgency of an impending change to autonomous capabilities. Notifications may be tailored to specific human operators based on human operator preference and historical performance.

The processor performs angle of arrival calculations for the subset of the range-Doppler-antenna data cube, and filters candidate peaks in the subset to obtain a point cloud representative of an environment. In some implementations, the confirmed peaks are detected based on a default threshold value, the candidate peaks are detected based on at least one adapted threshold value, and the at least one adapted threshold value is determined based on the object information.

Abstract: Dynamic Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) sharing between overlapping Basic Service Sets (BSSs) in wireless networks. A sharing Access Point (AP) initiates a process by generating and wirelessly transmitting a control frame to allocate its TXOP to a shared AP in an overlapping BSS. Subsequently, the sharing AP receives a return TXOP frame from the shared AP, indicating the return of any unused TXOP portion. The sharing AP then has the flexibility to either resume its own transmissions using the returned TXOP or reallocate it to an alternative AP. Using the techniques in dense wireless networking environments enables efficient spectrum utilization through dynamic TXOP allocation and reclamation. The techniques address challenges of resource management in multi-AP scenarios, improving overall network performance and reducing interference in overlapping coverage areas.
