Abstract:
A method and apparatus for moving network equipment is provided herein. During operation, an optimal base station configuration will be determined. Currently-employed network equipment will be moved based on a determination if adequate coverage will be provided to users of the system.
Abstract:
A process for communicating with a plurality of push-to-talk (PTT) devices in a wireless network of PTT devices includes, at a first one of the PTT devices, responsive to detecting a change in selected channel, via a channel selector input, from the first channel to a second channel while a PTT input is activated: transmitting, to other PTT devices in a first talkgroup on the first channel, a notification that further transmissions by the PTT device will be made in the second channel, switching the transmitter from the first channel to the second channel, and transmitting further communications to the one or more other PTT devices in a second talkgroup on the second channel.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining and reducing drift in inertial navigation systems (INS). One method includes receiving images and drifted positions associated with a plurality of INS. The method includes detecting, from the plurality of images, a plurality of objects associated with the plurality of INS. The method includes determining, relative positions for the objects. The method includes generating a plurality of avatars, each having a virtual position, and associating each of the plurality of objects to one of the plurality of avatars. The method includes, for each of the INS, calculating a relative drift based on the relative position of the object and the drifted position of the INS. The method includes calculating a drift correction factor for at least one of the INS, and transmitting the drift correction factor to an electronic device associated with the INS.
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:
Method and system for capturing signals in accordance with allocated resources. One method includes receiving, from a server by a network interface of a first communication device located in a cell, identification information of a second communication device located in the cell. The method further includes receiving, from a base station by the network interface of the first communication device, a resource allocation message destined for the second communication device. The resource allocation message indicates a resource allocation for the second communication device on an uplink channel of the base station. The method further includes decoding, by an electronic processor of the first communication device, the resource allocation message using the identification information of the second communication device. The method further includes capturing, by the network interface of the first communication device, signals based on the resource allocation for the second communication device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for extending coverage of a communication network. In one embodiment, a system includes a first base station configured to communicate with a first mobile communication device and to generate a core interface message. The system also includes a second mobile communication device and an application level server. The second mobile communication device is connected to the first base station and is configured to obtain the core interface message from the first base station, generate a message including the core interface message in an application layer of the message, address the message to the application level server, and transmit the message to the application level server. The application level server is configured to receive the message, extract the core interface message from the message, and transfer the core interface message to a network core to emulate an interface between the first base station and the network core.
Abstract:
A method and system for data transmission is provided. Compressed payload packets are transmitted on one or more payload channels. On a header restoration channel, header restoration packets are transmitted for restoring headers of at least some of the compressed payload packets.
