摘要： Apparatus and method for determining when a vehicle (108) has arrived or departed from a planned or an unplanned stop, while minimizing or completely eliminating driver intervention. The apparatus comprises a mobile communication terminal (202) located onboard a vehicle (108) for receiving destination information, generally using wireless means, from a central facility or hub (104). A speedometer (210) also located onboard the vehicle (108) determines the speed of the vehicle and a position sensor (212) onboard the vehicle (108) determines the vehicle position. The vehicle speed and position are provided to a processor (206), also located onboard the vehicle (108), which uses the speed and position information to determine a vehicle arrival or departure from a planned or unplanned stop. The processor (206) generates an indication of the event, either arrival or departure, directly to the central facility (104), to the vehicle operator, or both.

摘要： A self-correcting mobile antenna control system and method. A method is provided for controlling the direction of an antenna mounted on a vehicle. The method includes determining a position decision based on a direction change signal output from a direction sensor, determining an energy decision based on a signal strength indicator, combining the position decision and the energy decision to produce an antenna control signal, and adjusting the antenna's direction based on the antenna control signal. The system also operates to periodically calibrate itself to offset any sensor errors so that intensive calibration procedures can be avoided.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for transmission of configuration information in a wireless communication network (100). A method is provided for transmitting a configuration message (122) to a plurality of terminals (106-118) in a wireless network (100). The method includes assigning a slot in a transmission to contain the configuration message (122), and transmitting a marker (124) to identify the slot in the transmission to the plurality of terminals. The method also includes transmitting the configuration message (122) in the slot of the transmission using a high data rate so that air-link resources are conserved.
