Abstract:
Disclosed are implementations that include a method, generally performed at a mobile device, including receiving one or more wireless signals transmitted from a wireless node, with the wireless node being configured to operate in at least a first mode of operation to transmit wireless transmissions comprising one or more subframes configured according to a pre-determined first pattern of cell-specific reference signals (CRS) for the wireless node. The method also includes deriving, based on the received one or more wireless signals, at least one resultant signal attribute indicative of an actual CRS pattern for the received one or more wireless signals, and determining whether the at least one resultant signal attribute derived based on the received one or more wireless signals deviates from a corresponding expected at least one signal attribute associated with wireless signals including cell-specific reference signals produced according to the pre-determined first pattern of CRS.

Abstract:
A method of registering a target device includes: receiving a first indication to initiate a registration; and determining a suggested registration location and/or or a suggested registration name. The method further includes: providing a second indication of at least one of the suggested registration location or the suggested registration name; providing a third indication requesting at least one of whether the suggested registration location is accepted or whether the suggested registration name is accepted; receiving a fourth indication indicating at least one of whether the suggested registration location is accepted or whether the suggested registration name is accepted; and registering the target device by storing target device information based on the fourth indication.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for synchronization of sensing operations performed by a plurality of devices. The method may include collecting sensing capabilities of one or more connected devices that are communicably coupled with a central device. Each connected device may include one or more sensors, and the sensing capabilities may include at least sensor type and sensing interval for each sensor. The method may also include coordinating sensing operations performed by the central device and the one or more connected devices.
Abstract:
A method of using one or more radio-frequency signals includes: monitoring, with at least one radio-frequency (RF) receiver, one or more RF characteristics of one or more wireless RF signals from one or more RF devices in an environment; comparing the one or more RF characteristics to a reference RF profile for the environment; and initiating an action based on a difference between the one or more RF characteristics and the reference RF profile determined by the comparing.
