Abstract:
Optimized smart meter reporting The invention relates to a method for determining, by a scheduler (100, 900), at least one transmission parameter for each of a plurality of smart meters (200, 1000) which each transmit, via power line communication (55), a measurement report to a control entity (45). The at least one transmission parameter allows a reporting time for a corresponding smart meter to be determined. The method comprises the following steps: At least one status parameter is collected for each of the plurality of smart meters, the at least one status parameter influencing a success rate of the transmission of the corresponding measurement report to the control entity (45). For each of the plurality of smart meters (200, 1000), the at least one transmission parameter allowing the reporting time for the corresponding smart meter to be determined, is determined based on the collected at least one status parameter.

Abstract:
A safety system 16 safeguards a physical object 14 in a hazardous environment 10. The safety system 16 obtains a risk score 30 that reflects an extent to which the physical object 14 is in danger in the hazardous environment 10. Based on the risk score 30, the safety system 16 adapts one or more parameters 32 that govern measurement of one or more kinematic properties of the physical object 14 in the hazardous environment 10.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for use in a multiplayer server-based gaming protocol in which each of a plurality of gaming clients is in communication over a network with a gaming server for participating in a common multiplayer network game. The protocol is one in which a sequence of update periods in each of at least some of which a gaming update is sent from the server to each of at least some of the clients for updating them on a status of the game. In the protocol, each client sends a gaming action, if any, to the server in response to receipt of such a gaming update, the gaming action being used at the server to update the status of the game. The network is of a type to produce variations in client-server communication delays. The disclosed method comprises: accessing (S3) for each client a function representing a distribution of client-server delays relating to that client, updating (S4) a parameter used to determine a duration of the update periods so as to tend to improve an evaluation (performed in S3) relating to a predetermined measure of game quality, the evaluation being dependent upon the functions and the parameter, and updating (S2) the functions based on measurements (S1) of client-server delay in the network.

A method by a neuromorphic device in a wireless communication network which communicates using radio frames and carrier frequencies. The method includes obtaining a high dimensional (HD) vector containing symbols. At least some symbols have a value indicating a pattern of firing events for associated one or more neurons of a neural network (NN). For each symbol in the HD vector having a nonzero value, selecting a subframe of a radio frame and/or a carrier frequency among a set of carrier frequencies, based on a defined mapping between subframes of the radio frame and/or carrier frequencies of the set and the locations of symbols in the HD vector, determining a time offset relative to the selected subframe and/or a frequency offset relative to the selected carrier frequency, based on the value of the symbol, and transmitting an impulse at the determined time offset relative to the selected subframe and/or at the determined frequency offset relative to the selected carrier frequency.

A method by a neuromorphic device in a wireless communication network which communicates using radio resource elements. The method includes obtaining a high dimensional (HD) vector containing symbols indicating whether a firing event occurred for associated neurons of a neural network. For each of at least some symbols in the HD vector which indicate the firing event occurred for an associated at least one neuron, the method includes transmitting an impulse using a radio resource element which is mapped to a location of the symbol in the HD vector. Individual locations of symbols in the HD vector have a defined mapping to individual ones of the radio resource elements.

An anchor system for a location system tracks a location of a tag device mounted to a mobile entity using a plurality of anchor devices. The anchor system comprises an anchor cable, a first anchor device affixed to the anchor cable, one or more second anchor devices affixed to the anchor cable, and a power supply circuit.Each of the second anchor device(s) is spaced from the first anchor device along a length of the anchor cable by a predetermined distance. The power supply circuit is operatively connected to the anchor cable and is configured to supply power to each of the anchor devices via the anchor cable. Each of the anchor devices is configured to wirelessly communicate with the tag device, e.g., which enables a remote network of processors in communication with the anchor devices to determine location data for the tag device.
