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.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe a battery-free touch sensing user interface (UI) for Internet of Things (IoT) and other smart spaces employing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) readers and tags that we call RIO. With RIO, any surface may be a touch-aware surface by attaching RFID tag(s) thereto. RIO advantageously supports custom-designed RFID tags and therefore facilitates customized UIs to be easily deployed in a real-world environment. RIO employs impedance tracking that results from a human finger—or other appendage—touching a surface of an RFID tag, thereby changing a characteristic impedance of the RFID tag antenna. This change manifests as a change in the phase of the RFID backscattered signal and is advantageously used by RIO to track fine-grained touch movement over the RFID tag. Disclosed further are multi-tag environments in which RIO operates and demonstrations including continuous tracking of finger movement during a swipe to within 3 mm of its actual position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for standards compatible Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), including splitting Serving gateways (SGWs) and Packet Data Network gateways (PDN-GWs) to provision sufficient resources to deploy data-plane entity instances locally at a Radio Access Network (RAN) edge with one or more cloudlets. One or more local controller nodes is deployed in one or more operator clouds, a dedicated bearer is leveraged to route traffic from the one or more cloudlets through the split SGWs and PDN-GWs, and the dedicated bearer is configured with a traffic flow template (TFT) including an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the one or more cloudlets. Efficient access to one or more MEC applications at the RAN edge is provided to one or more user devices using the dedicated bearer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing network resources, including managing a generated virtualized data plane network using a central controller. Virtual machine (VM) resources are assigned to two or more different network functions at a local data center. Traffic is dynamically optimized based on at least one of aggregate traffic demands and quality of service (QoS) goals, and resource allocations and inter-data center (DC) bandwidth resources are determined for VMs for a plurality of services. VMs for each middlebox function and a routing plane for each service are configured based on the determined resource allocation, and flows are routed based on the resource allocation and one or more configured network paths using an overlay-routing framework.
