Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a method comprising determining to initiate a session; sending a first message over a channel in a subframe dedicated for initiating sessions; and transmitting an information indicating the resource where the next transmission of the session will happen.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for estimating the distance between a transmitter and a receiver. A method comprising obtaining a signal from a receiver; determining whether the signal more likely propagated through a line-of-sight (LOS) radio channel or a non lme-of-sight (NLOS) radio channel; using a model including parameters selected according to the radio channel to estimate the distance between the receiver and a transmitter which sent the signal.

Abstract: A method including calculating a parameter for controlling a main lobe of a radiation pattern of an antenna array, the calculation using a direction of a location relative to the antenna array, the direction determined from information including a position of the location; determining a parameter for controlling the main lobe of the radiation pattern of the antenna array from a signal received at the antenna array from the location; and determining an offset using the parameter calculated from the determined direction and the parameter determined from the received signal.

Abstract: A system for enhancing the performance of a wireless communication device (WCD) while executing a direction of arrival (DoA) estimation. The performance may be improved through device management, and may include the collection of information from one or more sensors installed within the WCD. The sensor information may initially be used to determine an appropriate configuration for the device. Further, the sensor information may also be used to affect the behavior of the device while performing the DoA estimation.
