Abstract: An in-home inventory and location 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 products in a given area, is configured to reflect and frequency shift the RF signal to a different frequency. At least one RF backscatter receiver, hosted on another device, is configured to read the products 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 and location of the products in the given area.

Abstract: A system is provided for speculative scheduling that includes a base station having a processor. The processor computes an overall schedule for a set of clients. The overall schedule is formed from a set of speculative schedules, is configured to maximize unlicensed spectrum usage, and is computed by (a) determining a speculative schedule for each resource block from a set of resource blocks in a given sub-frame based on statistics determined for the clients individually and jointly, and (b) selecting, for formation into the overall schedule, (i) a particular resource block and (ii) the speculative schedule for the particular resource block, that yield the maximum incremental utility relative to already determined speculative schedules for other resource blocks in the set, based on criteria including uplink access statistics. The processor executes the overall schedule responsive to a completion of the speculative schedule determination for each resource block in the given sub-frame.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving Long Term Evolution (LTE)-WiFi coexistence in a network, including configuring one or more LTE nodes for asynchronous access and synchronous transmission to bridge LTE and WiFi access modes. A channel is reserved for LTE transmission in the one or more LTE nodes, and a supplementary WiFi module is provided in the one or more LTE nodes for sensing the channel for occupancy and for broadcasting a reservation signal on the channel prior to the LTE transmission. Contention window sizes are scaled linearly by increasing the contention window sizes proportionally to a subframe collision rate to maintain throughput fairness to the WiFi, and synchronous transmission from the one or more LTE nodes to one or more User Devices (UEs) is performed by activating the unlicensed carrier for a reserved time period.

Abstract: A method for product tagging is presented including emitting, by at least one RF backscatter transmitter, a dual-tone Radio Frequency (RF) signal embedded within a standardized RF signal on a frequency channel, reflecting and frequency shifting, by a passive RF backscatter tag associated with a product, the dual-tone RF signal to a different frequency channel, and reading, by at least one RF backscatter receiver, the product on the different frequency channel by detecting a distributed ambient backscatter signal generated by a reflection and frequency shifting of the dual-tone RF signal by the passive RF backscatter tag.

Abstract: A product tagging system is provided. The product tagging system includes at least one RF backscatter transmitter configured to emit (i) a main carrier RF signal, and (ii) Radio Frequency (RF) signals on two frequencies whose summation forms a twin carrier RF signal. The product tagging system further includes a passive RF backscatter tag associated with a product and configured to reflect and frequency shift the main carrier RF signal to a different frequency using the twin carrier RF signal. The product tagging system also includes at least one RF backscatter receiver configured to read the product on the different frequency by detecting a distributed ambient backscatter signal generated by a reflection and frequency shifting of the main carrier RF signal by the passive RF backscatter tag.

Abstract: Methods and a system are provided for enabling coexistence of WIFI and Long Term Evolution (LTE) in a wireless communication system. A method includes embedding in a data sequence, by a base station capable of transmitting and receiving LTE frames, a channel reservation packet that (i) is detectable by a WIFI receiver and (ii) reserves a particular one of a plurality of available unlicensed communication channels for a transmission duration of the data sequence. The method further includes transmitting, by the base station, the data sequence including the embedded channel reservation packet.

Abstract: Methods and systems of asynchronous access and synchronous transmission include transmitting an initial reservation packet using a first protocol to prevent other devices that use the first protocol from transmitting during a reserved duration. A carrier using a second protocol is activated. Information is transmitted using a second protocol during the reserved duration. During a last subframe of the reserved duration, an additional reservation packet is transmitted using the first protocol to extend the reserved duration. The transmission of the additional reservation packet takes place while the carrier using the second protocol is still active.
