  • Publication number: 20210337508
    Abstract: A wireless device and a method therein for receiving positioning system information from a radio network node. The wireless device and the radio network node operate in a wireless communications network. The wireless device receives positioning system information broadcast scheduling information comprising information about positioning System Information Blocks that are comprised in a System Information message. Further, the wireless device receives an indication that a pSIB is segmented into pSIB segments. Based on the indication and on the pSI the wireless device determines whether or not the pSIB segments are scheduled via contiguous scheduling. When the pSIB segments are determined to be scheduled via contiguous scheduling, the wireless device monitors scheduled resources, retrieves the contiguously scheduled pSIB segments and decodes position system information of the retrieved pSIB segments.

  • Patent number: 11062533
    Abstract: A sensing system is provided. The sensing system includes a processor, a sensor node, a plurality of sensors, a power source and a controller. The sensor node is operably connected to the processor on an industrial side and to the sensors on a sensor side. The sensors each measure a parameter of the sensing system and transmit the parameter to the processor via the sensor node. The power source delivers power to the processor. The controller is in operable communication with the processor. The sensor node, disposed in close proximity to the sensors, converts a data protocol for each of the sensors to a different industrial protocol and transmits the converted data through a communication port via the industrial data protocol to the processor. The processor then collects the measurements of each parameter of the plurality of sensors, analyses the measurements and transmits the analyzed data to the controller.
