Abstract:
Determining a position of a device using a signal received from a reference emitter includes: receiving the signa (80)l; determining a state of a first filter (81), the state of the first filter including a first carrier phase ambiguity estimate that includes a floating value; determining a state of a second filter (82), the state of the second filter including a second carrier phase ambiguity estimate that includes a fixed value; determining whether the state of the second filter is consistent with one other filter state or measurement (83); maintaining the state of the second filter in response to the device determining that the state of the second filter is consistent with the other filter state (84); changing the state of the second filter to the state of the first filter in response to the device determining that the state of the second filter is not consistent with the other filter state (85); determining the position of the device based on the state of the second filter (86).
Abstract:
A method for aligning visual-inertial odometry (VIO) and satellite positioning system (SPS) reference frames includes obtaining a plurality of range-rate measurements of a mobile platform from an SPS. The range-rate measurements are with respect to a global reference frame of the SPS. The method also includes obtaining a plurality of VIO velocity measurements of the mobile platform from a VIO system. The VIO velocity measurements are with respect to a local reference frame of the VIO system. At least one orientation parameter is then determined to align the local reference frame with the global reference frame based on the range-rate measurements and the VIO velocity measurements.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The device may receive a signal on each of N channels from another device. The N channels may include a first channel. The device may determine a frequency response of each of the N channels based on the received signals. The device may transform, from a frequency domain to a time domain, the N frequency responses in order to generate a transformed signal. The frequency response of an nth channel of the N channels may be adjusted by a channel offset of the nth channel with respect to the first channel for n being each integer from 2 to N. The device may then estimate the channel offset for each of the N channels other than the first channel based on the transformed signal.
Abstract:
Provided are apparatus and methods for ranging between a plurality of wireless devices. An exemplary method includes, at a first wireless device, transmitting a primary portion symbol comprising a first packet and transmitting a secondary portion symbol. The secondary portion symbol is transmitted simultaneously at a lower transmit power than the primary portion symbol, and the secondary portion symbol comprises a second packet identical to the first packet. The primary portion symbol can be transmitted in a first channel having a substantially 20MHZ bandwidth and the secondary portion can be transmitted in a second channel having a substantially 20MHZ bandwidth. The first and second channels are substantially adjacent in frequency. After transmitting the primary portion symbol, for example, a high-throughput long-training-field symbol or a very-high-throughput long-training-field symbol can be repetitively transmitted. This exemplary method enhances time-of-arrival estimation accuracy, minimizes decoding bottlenecking, and maximizes wireless device range.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for securing content for delivery via a communications network. The methods, systems and devices may involve coding a plurality of packets using a determined code to generate a coded set of packets (605). A plurality of packets of the coded set of packets may be hashed to generate a plurality of hashes (610). The plurality of hashes may be transmitted via the communications network to deliver the secured content.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for adapting access timing parameters when using DSRC spectrum. A multi-mode device may adapt at least one access timing parameter while operating within the DSRC spectrum. The at least one access timing parameter may be adapted to provide priority to transmissions of DSRC devices using the DSRC spectrum. The multi-mode device may increase a duration of a short inter-frame spacing (SIFS) to be at least equal to a duration of a SIFS used by a DSRC device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for opportunistically using at least a portion of a dedicated short range communications (DSRC) spectrum. A multi-mode device is operated outside of the DSRC spectrum. An activity level is detected on at least a portion of the DSRC spectrum, and it is determined whether to use at least the portion of the DSRC spectrum based at least in part on the detected activity level.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for relaying a packet are provided. The apparatus receives at least one packet and reduces a degree of the at least one packet. The apparatus further processes the at least one packet based on the reduced degree, generates a combined packet by combining the at least one processed packet with at least one other processed packet based on the reduced degree and a weight of each of the processed packets, and transmits the combined packet.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is a first BS. The apparatus (BS2) determines (1102) a first channel (H1, 3) between a second BS (BS1) and a first UE (UE3) served by a third BS (BS3), determines (1104) a second channel (H2,3) between the first base station (BS2) and the first UE (UE3), and determines (1108) a first direction vector (v1) to be used by the second base station (BS1) for sending a data transmission. The apparatus transmits (1112) a set of resource blocks to a second UE (UE2) served by the first base station (BS2) with a second direction vector (v2) determined based on the first channel (H1, 3), the second channel (H2,3), and the first direction vector (v1) to be used by the second base station (BS1).

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a serving base station. The serving base station receives channel feedback from a plurality of UEs. The channel feedback is based on predetermined phase rotations used by the serving base station. The serving base station selects at least one UE of the UEs for a data transmission based on the received channel feedback. The serving base station maps at least one data stream to a set of resource blocks. The serving base station transmits the set of resource blocks to the at least one UE with a phase rotation determined based on the predetermined phase rotations.
