Abstract: A navigation assistance system is provided. At least one RF backscatter transmitter, hosted on a device, is configured to emit a RF signal on a frequency. A set of passive RF backscatter tags, each associated with a respective one of a plurality of navigation markers in a given venue, is configured to reflect the RF signal and frequency shift the RF signal to a different frequency. At least one RF backscatter receiver is configured to read the navigation markers on the different frequency by detecting a distributed ambient backscatter signal generated by a reflection and frequency shifting of the RF signal by the passive RF backscatter tag. At least one of the device hosting the at least one RF backscatter transmitter and the other device hosting the at least one RF backscatter receiver is configured to maintain an inventory of locations of the navigation markers in the given venue.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for blue-printing interference for mobile access in an unlicensed spectrum of a synchronous scheduled cellular access system. The system includes a cellular base station having a processor. The processor constructs and executes an intelligent measurement schedule of clients for uplink transmissions to obtain access measurements for the uplink transmissions. The intelligent measurement schedule is constructed for scalable access measurement overhead. The access measurements indicate interference dependencies between the clients. The processor estimates an interference topology and statistics of the interference topology, from the access measurements to form an interference blueprint. The processor adjusts the intelligent measurement schedule to overschedule the clients for the uplink transmissions to reduce spectrum utilization loss while minimizing client transmission collisions, based on the interference blueprint. The processor initiates the uplink transmissions for the clients in accordance with the adjusted intelligent measurement schedule.
