    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for node operation according to network-wide resource-allocation schedules. One embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a given node within an ad-hoc wireless network, which includes a controller node for a current time period. The method includes obtaining one or more air-interface resource requests for the current time period, where each obtained resource request indicates a requesting node and a requested resource. The method further includes using a network-standard algorithm for deriving a network-wide resource-allocation schedule for the current time period based at least in part on the obtained resource requests. The method further includes verifying the derived resource-allocation schedule based at least in part on a verification value derived by the controller node from the network-wide resource-allocation schedule using a network-standard verification function. The method also includes operating according to the verified resource-allocation schedule for the current time period.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for positioning an unmanned robotic vehicle (URV). The URV captures a set of one or more of image and non-image information of an object while positioned at a first position, provides the set of image/non-image information to a server entity, in response to providing the set of image/non-image information, receives a three-dimensional (3D) model associated with the object, autonomously determines a second position based on the 3D model, and autonomously navigates to the second position. At the second position, the URV may capture further image and/or non-image information and, based on the further captured image/non-image information, autonomously determine, and navigate to, a third position. The steps of capturing further image and/or non-image information and, based on the captured image and/or non-image information, autonomously determining and navigating to further positions may be repeated indefinitely, or until otherwise instructed.

    Abstract: A method and a system for operating a subscriber unit to seamlessly switch between a trunked mode operation (TMO) and a direct mode operation (DMO) in a communication system. The communication system includes one or more subscriber units communicating in trunked mode operation on a first communication channel via a base station and the subscriber units communicating in direct mode operation on a second communication channel via a direct mode gateway station. When the subscriber units communicate in the TMO and when the signal quality on the first communication channel is below the predetermined threshold, the subscriber units automatically switch to the direct mode operation. When the subscriber units communicate in DMO and when the signal quality on the second communication channel is below the predetermined threshold, the subscriber units automatically switch to the trunked mode operation.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for merging isolated networks. One method includes determining that a second network is located within a predetermined distance of a first network. The method also includes exchanging content between a first network core of the first network and a second network core of the second network over a side haul communication channel. The exchange of content results in a first base station transceiver of the first network being capable of communicating with first network components of the first network core and with mirrored instances of second network components of the second network core within the first network core. The method also includes controlling, with the first network core, communications through the first base station transceiver using the second content included in the mirrored instances of the second network components.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for setting an initial transmit power level of a deployable network that overlaps in coverage with a WAN. Multiple transmit power levels are determined. For each transmit power level, a geographical coverage area of the deployable network at an incident is determined based on a signal propagation model, a first set of mobile devices is determined that are within the geographical coverage area and that are involved in responding to the incident, and a second set of mobile devices is determined that are within the geographical coverage area, that are not involved in responding to the incident, and that may be interfered with by transmissions of the deployable network. A transmit power level of the multiple transmit power levels then is selected as the initial transmit power level based on the first and second sets of mobile devices determined for each transmit power level.
