  • Patent number: 10794983
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains a machine learning model indicative of how to focus on particular location information from a plurality of radio frequency (RF) elements to provide an accurate location estimate of a wireless client based at least in part on angle-of-arrival information of the wireless client. When the device then obtains location information regarding the wireless client from the plurality of RF elements, it may apply the machine learning model to the location information regarding the wireless client to focus on particular location information of the location information from the plurality of RF elements. The device may then estimate a physical location of the wireless client based on focusing on the particular location information during a locationing computation.

  • Patent number: 10785744
    Abstract: Offloading of location computation from a location server to an access point through the use of projections on base phase vectors may be provided. First, an Access Point (AP) may receive a set of two or more base phase vectors from a location server. Next, the AP may measure a measured phase vector for a first signal from a user device. Then, the AP can determine projection values based on a comparison of the measured phase vector to each base phase vector. From these comparisons, the AP can determine a subset of base phase vectors with the highest projection values. The AP can then send the projection values and the subset of base phase vectors to the location server, wherein the location server determines the device location from these projection values and subset of base phase vectors.

  • Patent number: 10771965
    Abstract: A combination of target images and control images are presented to a user device for selection by the user. Based on a correct selection of images that the user either recognizes or does not recognize, the user may be authenticated. Target images have some connection to a legitimate user in a way that a legitimate user may recognize the target image. Control images have no known connection to the legitimate user, such that they would not typically be recognized by the legitimate user. The legitimacy of a user may be determined based on images selected and/or not selected, depending on accompanying instructions for selection.

  • Patent number: 10757588
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a base station used for wireless communication. The base station transmits M1 first-type reference signals; receives M2 second-type radio signals in first time-domain resources, with any of the M2 second-type radio signals being associated with one of the M1 first-type reference signals; and transmits a first radio signal in the first time-domain resources. If an antenna port transmitting the first radio signal is associated with at least one of the M2 second-type radio signals, first-type channel monitoring is adopted targeting transmission of the first radio signal; otherwise, second-type channel monitoring is adopted targeting transmission of the first radio signal. The above method allows the base station to share a COT acquired by a UE in unlicensed spectrums so as to increase channel access efficiency, and at the same time avoids interference with other potential ongoing communications.

  • Patent number: 10728900
    Abstract: A radio terminal (2) receives beam configuration information from a base station (1), measures a plurality of transmission beams (10) transmitted from the base station (1) in accordance with the beam configuration information, and uses one or more beams selected from among the plurality of transmission beams (10) based on a measurement result as a serving beam. Each of the plurality of transmission beams carries a beamformed reference signal to be measured by the radio terminal (2). The beam configuration information includes a reference signal configuration indicating a radio resource used on each beam for transmitting the beamformed reference signal. It is thus, for example, possible to contribute to provision of a procedure for UE mobility between beams.
