Abstract: The application relates to a wireless mesh communication system (100) that comprises a plurality of radio nodes (102, 104, 106). Each of the plurality of radio nodes is configured to provide a bi-directional radio communication with other radio node (102, 104, 106) of the system and to obtain (213, 216, 224) an assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) assistance data used in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning. Also, at least one (102, 104) of the radio nodes indicates (230) to other radio nodes (102, 104, 106) of the system that the A-GNSS assistance data is available and transmissible on request, if the at least one of the radio nodes has this A-GNSS assistance data.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatuses, computer-/processor-readable media, and other implementations for data communication in which data is divided into multiple data blocks, with each of the multiple data blocks including a portion of a respective at least one other of the multiple data blocks to produce multiple corresponding resultant data blocks. Additionally, at least one validation code is generated based on the multiple corresponding resultant data blocks. At least the multiple corresponding resultant data blocks and the at least one validation code are communicated to a remote device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining data accuracy in an access point (AP) location database including a plurality of stored location data are disclosed that can automatically update the AP location database meanwhile maintaining the data accuracy in the database. In some embodiments, the AP location database server receives a first set of location measurements for a first AP from a first mobile device, determines a trustworthiness of the first set of location measurements based on a first comparison between the first set of location measurements and the location data for the first AP stored in the AP location database, and selectively updates the stored location data for the first AP in the AP location database with the received first set of location measurements in response to the determined trustworthiness.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for transferring maps to a mobile device without network connectivity using matrix bar codes or other passive data media are presented. In some embodiments, such a method may include receiving data from an image scanner configured to scan a bar code, the data comprising a complete encoded map; processing the data to generate a decoded map; and displaying the decoded map to a user.
