  • Publication number: 20160044098
    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate identifying peers based upon encoded signals during peer discovery in a peer to peer network. For example, direct signaling that partitions a time-frequency resource into a number of segments can be utilized to communicate an identifier within a peer discovery interval; thus, a particular segment selected for transmission can signal a portion of the identifier, while a remainder can be signaled based upon tones communicated within the selected segment. Moreover, a subset of symbols within the resource can be reserved (e.g., unused) to enable identifying and/or correcting timing offset. Further, signaling can be effectuated over a plurality of peer discovery intervals such that partial identifiers communicated during each of the peer discovery intervals can be linked (e.g., based upon overlapping bits and/or bloom filter information).

  • Publication number: 20140361905
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, apparatus, computer readable storage medium, and method to perform a transition triggered context monitoring for a mobile device. A first sensor data stream comprising data from one or more sensors at the mobile device is received. One or more features calculated from the data of the first sensor data stream may be monitored and a status change for the one or more features is detected. In response to detecting the status change, of a second sensor data stream comprising data from one or more sensors at the mobile device is collected. The second sensor data stream may be processed as a context label for a segment of the first sensor data stream and the segment beginning may be defined by the status change.

  • Patent number: 8811372
    Abstract: In an ad hoc peer-to-peer communications network, timing synchronization can be facilitated between two or more nodes based on respective timing adjustments. A sequence of timing synchronization time intervals can be determined based on a first timing reference received from a source. A symbol timing can be determined and included in a first signal transmitted during a dedicated time interval, which can be a chosen fraction of one of the timing synchronization time intervals. In the remaining portion of the time interval, such as a non-chosen fraction, a second signal that includes a second timing reference can be received. Based on the symbol timing and the second timing reference, a timing adjustment can be determined and timing of each node adjusted accordingly.
