Next, the electronic device may send the image data and the location data to one or more computing devices.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for generating location information of an object along with a video that depicts the object. For instance, an electronic device may include a radar sensor that determines locations of the object. The electronic device may then store radar data representing at least the locations. Additionally, based on detecting an event, the electronic device may begin to generate image data representing the video. The electronic device may then analyze the radar data and the image data in order to determine that the object detected by the radar sensor includes the same object represented by the image data. As such, the electronic device may send the radar data and the image data to one or more computing devices. This way, a user device is able to display both the video depicting the object as well as the location information representing the motion of the object.

Abstract: A Cognitive Manager (CM) controls a RAN. The CM obtains from the RAN a set of local needs identifying a radio communication performance criterion that is to be satisfied. A set of neighbor needs are obtained from a neighbor CM. An event message is received from the RAN containing a radio metric that does not presently satisfy at least one of the set of local needs. A set of present neighbor improvement action drives being performed or will be performed to satisfy the set of neighbor needs, are obtained from the neighbor CM. A combination of the set of local needs, the set of the neighbor needs, the set of present neighbor improvement action drives, and the radio metric, is used to determine a local improvement action drive that is to be performed by the RAN. An adjustment report identifying the local improvement action drive is provided to the RAN.
