Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a data receiving apparatus and a data receiving method having blind deconvolution mechanism. A descrambling circuit descrambles received data according to an antenna assumption and N data position assumptions within a transmission period to generate N groups of soft-bit data. A soft-bit processing circuit retrieves bit position data to determine non-variable bit positions and variable bit positions. N circular buffers of a storage circuit store and superimpose the N groups of soft-bit data corresponding to N data position assumptions in a circular manner to generate N groups of superimposed results and keep the data corresponding to the non-variable bit positions. A post-processing circuit performs de-interleaving and decoding on the N groups of superimposed results to generate N groups of decoded results to perform redundancy check thereon. When one decoded results passes the redundancy check, the soft-bit processing circuit stops performing the blind deconvolution process.

Abstract: A system comprises a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions such that the processor is programmed to receive geoindexed detected vehicle event data from at least one vehicle occurring within a predefined time period, normalize the geoindexed detected vehicle event data according to Global Position System (GPS) data corresponding to a geoindex map, and generate an infrastructure recommendation based on the normalized and aggregated geoindexed detected vehicle event data.

Abstract: A system and method of performing vehicle navigation services in coordination with a handheld wireless device that involves determining a vehicle location at a vehicle using a vehicle telematics unit of the vehicle; identifying a plurality of points-of-interest (POIs) within a predetermined range of the vehicle location; detecting a vehicle occupant has exited the vehicle; sending an instruction from the vehicle that directs a handheld wireless device associated with the vehicle occupant or the vehicle to begin generating location data; and receiving the location data from the handheld wireless device.

Abstract: A carpooling server includes a processor; a server communication transceiver that receives pick-up time and location, drop-off location, and window time from a mobile device communication platform, and delay threshold from a participating vehicle (PV) communication platform; and a real-time carpooling program. First filter includes computer readable instructions (CRI) to identify a qualified trip upon determining pick-up time is within a PV trip travel period. Second filter receives a then-current location of the PV associated with the qualified trip, and includes CRI to: estimate an arrival time (ETA) of PV at pick-up location; and identify a potential carpool candidate (PCC) upon determining ETA is within the window time. Third filter includes CRI to: estimate a new end time (ENET) for the PCC by combining the PV then-current location with pick-up/drop-off locations and an original PV destination; and identify a carpool candidate upon determining ENET is within the delay threshold.
