摘要: A virtual beacon system that provides proximity alerts is described. The proximity alerts are based on the location of a mobile device (100) and a location of interest. The method may include the steps of providing sensor readings for signals, calculating a mobile device location, determining the distance between a mobile device and a product location (202) and generating a proximity trigger (208). A described virtual beacon system includes a monitoring access point (104) for providing sensor readings and transmitting proximity triggers, a location cloud service (106) for calculating a mobile device (100) location and proximity alert service (108) for generating proximity triggers based on the mobile device location.

摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for channel estimation between a transmitter and a receiver in a wireless communications system. In one arrangement, the method comprises: receiving at the receiver a first sequence of bits representing a first sequence of coded symbols transmitted over the communications channel; decoding the first sequence of coded symbols using maximum-likelihood based decoding including: generating traceback outcomes by tracing backwards the first sequence of bits through a maximum-likelihood based traceback path, the traceback outcomes including a first portion associated with a first traceback depth and a second portion associated with a second traceback depth that is deeper than the first traceback depth; generating a channel estimate of the communications channel based on the first portion of the traceback outcomes; and generating an estimate of at least some information bits coded in the first sequence of coded symbols based on the second portion of the traceback outcomes.

摘要: Methods and apparatus are described for processing data in a wireless communication network. Iterative estimation techniques are used to enable tracking of time-varying communication channels. A signal is transmitted over a channel in the network, the signal comprising a sequence of symbols carried on a plurality of sub-carriers. Boot-up estimator estimates, in a time domain, parameters of a model of the channel based on the received signal. A domain converter transforms at least one of the estimated parameters from the time domain to provide at least one transformed parameter in a second domain. An equalizer and decoder determine estimates of symbols from the received signal using the at least one transformed parameter, and tracking estimator updates the estimated model parameters during reception of the signal using at least one estimated symbol.

摘要: Methods and systems for estimating the position of an object such (as a vehicle) are disclosed. The method comprises transmitting a first V2X message from the object to a plurality of spaced apart units; and receiving a set of V2X response messages from at least two units in response to the first V2X message. Each response message comprises an identifier of the object, an identifier of the unit from which the response message was sent, and temporal information associated with the times of receiving a previous V2X message at the unit and transmitting a previous V2X response message from the unit. The position of the object is estimated based on the information contained in the set of V2X response messages and the times of transmitting the previous V2X message from the object and receiving the previous set of V2X response messages at the object.

摘要: Described herein is a wireless receiver configured to receive wireless signals containing data packets transmitted according to an undetermined communications protocol selected from at least a first communications protocol and a second communications protocol. Without necessarily decoding the data packets, for example according to either the first or the second communication protocol, the described wireless receiver is able to concurrently detect presence of signal transmission in the first communications protocol or the second communications protocol. In some arrangements, the described wireless receiver may be configured to differentiate between the first communications protocol and the second communications protocol. The ability of the wireless receiver to detect presence of signal transmission by other wireless devices may provide intelligence to an associated wireless transmitter of any concurrent signal transmission so as to minimize interference.

摘要: Methods and apparatus are described for improving receiver performance in a multicarrier communication network in which an encoded symbol is transmitted over a transmission channel in the communications system. A model of the transmission channel is estimated, said model characterising an effect of intercarrier interference on at least one carrier in the multicarrier system. The received symbol is decoded using the estimated model to remove a predicted effect of intercarrier interference. A pre-processor is also described for operation in conjunction with a communications receiver in the network. The pre-processor includes a channel estimator operable to estimate at least one feature of the communication channel based on a received signal. The pre-processor modifies the received signal dependent on the at least one estimated feature and provides the modified signal to the communications receiver.

摘要: A method is for communicating by tracking time varying channels in a multiple access packet based communication network. Each packet includes a preamble portion including a data symbol, and a data portion including data symbols. The method may include initializing a channel estimate reference from an initial channel estimate based upon the data symbol in a preamble portion of a received packet, and updating the channel estimate reference based upon a channel estimate of a current data symbol and a previously received data symbol from the data symbols in a data portion of the received packet. The method may also include repeating the updating upon receipt of a subsequent data symbol from the data symbols in the data portion of the received packet.

摘要: A method for automatically training a neural network is disclosed. The method including: at a trainer having a first communication device and a perception recorder, continuously recording the surroundings in the vicinity of the first object; receiving, at the trainer, a message from a communication device associated with an object in the vicinity of the trainer, the message including information about the position and the type of the object; identifying a recording corresponding to the time at which the message is received from the object; correlating the received positional information about the second object with a corresponding location in the recording to identify the object in the recording; classifying the identified object based on the type of information received in the message from the object; and using the classified recording to train the neural network.
