Abstract:
A method of determining a trajectory of a mobile platform includes obtaining a satellite positioning system (SPS) measurement from one or more SPS signals acquired by an SPS receiver of the mobile platform. The method also includes obtaining a visual-inertial odometry (VIO) measurement of the mobile platform from a VIO system of the mobile platform. A first position estimate of the mobile platform is determined based, at least in part, on the SPS measurement and the VIO measurement. The method then includes adjusting the first position estimate to generate a smoothed position estimate based, in part, on a smoothing parameter that controls a smoothness of the trajectory. The trajectory of the mobile platform is then determined, at least in part, using the smoothed position estimate.
Abstract:
In some cases, V2X systems may send warning messages. The warning messages may be sent over short distances. The warning messages may be useful over wider distances. Some systems may us MBMS from a V2X proximity broadcast. Electronic communications devices, such as UEs may be unaware of the MBMS. A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an RSU. The RSU receive a V2X message from a UE. The RSU may broadcast information associated with the V2X message. The RSU may send the information associated with the V2X message to a network entity for a point-to-multipoint broadcast. The method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication may also use V2X messages that include bootstrapping information to tune to an MBMS broadcast.
Abstract:
Clock drift for range estimation between a first wireless device and a second wireless device is determine before such estimation, while acceptable communication between the first device and the second device is unavailable. While acceptable communication is unavailable, a relative clock drift Δ01 between a relative wireless device and the first device is obtained by the second device; a relative clock drift Δ20 between the second device and the relative wireless device is determined; and a relative clock drift Δ21 between the second device and the first device is estimated based on the relative clock drift Δ01 and the relative clock drift Δ20. Once acceptable communication is available, a distance between the first device and the second device is estimated based on the relative clock drift Δ21.
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 20 MHZ bandwidth and the secondary portion can be transmitted in a second channel having a substantially 20 MHZ 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:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for classifying a motion state of a mobile device. In one embodiment, accelerometer data representing acceleration components along orthogonal x, y, and z axes of the mobile device are collected. A presence or absence of a half-step frequency relationship between the accelerometer data is determined. Last, the motion state of the device is determined based at least in part on the presence or absence of the half-step frequency relationship.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a first BSM from a first wireless communication device, determines control information associated with the first BSM, and transmits the first BSM to at least a second wireless communication device based on the determined control information.
