  • Patent number: 10419188
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and apparatus of time-domain multiplexing (TDM) for reference signals (RS) and data using a modified cyclic prefix. A reference signal (RS) and data are multiplexed either in a single symbol or in two time consecutive symbols that respectively including the RS and data. The cyclic prefix (CP) is added to the single symbol using a portion of the RS or to a first symbol of the two time consecutive symbols using a portion of the RS. The CP may be copied from the RS or the end of the symbol, but not the data, in a manner that affords a virtual Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) of the RS and data before discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading is performed in a transceiver to provide lower peak to average power ratios and no Inter-symbol interference.

  • Patent number: 10415984
    Abstract: A transport service system determines the accuracy of a map matched trajectory using a forward probability algorithm. A transport vehicle on a trip relays location data to the system. The system uses a map of the corresponding area and the location data to calculate an emission probability, the likelihood of a candidate road being associated with a location data point, and a transition probability, the likelihood of a second state occurring after a first state. The joint probability of the emission and transition probabilities is used to determine a total number of zero forward probability occurrences and an average forward probability associated with the trip. These metrics are used to measure the accuracy of the map matching algorithm for the trip.
