Abstract: A downlink bandwidth control method is applicable to a network device including a first queue for first traffic and a second queue for second traffic, and includes: determining whether traffic the network device is receiving meets a predetermined criterion associated with the first traffic; acquiring a total downlink bandwidth between the network device and another network device; and in response to determining that the traffic the network device is receiving meets the predetermined criterion associated with the first traffic, setting an upper bound of a download speed of the second traffic to a decreased value according to the total downlink bandwidth, wherein the decreased value is equal to a portion of the total downlink bandwidth.

Abstract: An indoor localization method is implemented using an indoor localization system that includes beacons deployed in an indoor space and transmitting localization signals, and a radio badge for receiving the localization signals. The indoor localization method includes forming signal vectors from the localization signals received by the radio badge at each of predetermined locations in the indoor space, and generating a signal ID value from the signal vectors for each beacon from which the radio badge has received the localization signals. During a tracking phase, signal vectors are formed from the localization signals received by the radio badge at a current location. If the number of the signal ID values is smaller than the number of the signal vectors, the sum of the signal distances is normalized by the number of the signal ID values. An estimated position of the radio badge is obtained using the signal vectors and the signal ID values.
