Abstract:
A Long Term Evolution (LTE) Concentrator and Distributor system and method extends geographical coverage while minimizing Evolved Node B (eNB) deployments. The system and method use a distributed array of Wide Band Receiver Transmitter (WBRT) devices (i.e., RF Heads, RFH, including antennas) connected via wide-band links to a central standard LTE eNB through a novel LTE Concentrator-Distributor (LTE-CD) which is an uplink (smart optimal) concentrator and downlink simulcast distributor. The eNB downlink signal (baseband or modulated RF) is distributed in synchronization (simulcast) through the LTE-CD to all WBRTs for downlink simulcast transmission to all UEs in the coverage area. The WBRTs receive uplink signals from user equipment, UE, devices in a coverage area, send the uplink signals (baseband or modulated RF) to the LTE-CD which optimally combines all received signals into one best uplink signal that is sent (in baseband or modulated RF) to the eNB.
Abstract:
Traffic light control using destination information in calendar data of a user device includes storing calendar data including destination information in a plurality of user devices in a community. A next step includes obtaining the calendar data by a community authority coordinator operable to communicate with the user devices through a community network. A next step includes controlling at least one traffic light in the community in response to the destination information. Optionally, the traffic light can be controlled in response to time, date, location, route, and number of vehicles, to alleviate future road congestion.
