20140206377 | INTER-OPERATOR SPECTRUM SHARING CONTROL, INTER-OPERATOR INTERFERENCE COORDINATION METHOD, AND RADIO RESOURCE SCHEDULING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - An inter-operator radio resource sharing method for sharing radio resources between two or more radio communication systems each controlled by a respective operator and configured to control respective proprietary radio resources and to provide respective served user equipments with radio communication services. The inter-operator radio resource sharing method: determines, by each radio communication system, a bandwidth of respective shared radio resources belonging to the respective proprietary radio resources based on a traffic load related to guaranteed-quality radio communication services requested by the respective served user equipments; signals, by each radio communication system, the respective shared radio resources to other radio communication systems; and provides, by each radio communication system, the respective served user equipments with the radio communication services on the respective proprietary radio resources and on the shared radio resources signalled by other radio communication systems. | 2014-07-24 |
20140206378 | SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING PROXIMITY OF MOBILE DEVICES - Disclosed is a method of testing the proximity of two or more mobile devices by means of a multiple choice test based on sensory signals. A sensory signal is emitted by one ore more emitting device. If a user in a multiple choice test which is presented on an identifying device correctly chooses the emitted signal out of a list of possibly emitted signals the emitting device(s) and the identifying are considered to be in close contact. | 2014-07-24 |
20140206379 | Detecting Mobile Access Points - In some implementations, a method includes receiving, from a server, location data identifying locations of access points and mobile access points. A mobile device may determine an identifier of an access point within a communication range. The identifier is compared with the location data to identify parameters for the access point. The access point is determined to be a mobile access point based on the identified parameters included in the location data. In response to identifying the mobile access point, operating parameters executed by the mobile device are updated. | 2014-07-24 |
20140206380 | FAST GENERATION OF RADIO COVERAGE MAP OF ACCESS POINTS IN AN INDOOR ENVIRONMENT - A method for generating a two-dimensional radio coverage map comprising a plurality of physical levels including a first physical level and a second physical level. The access point is located above the second physical level. A first radio coverage map comprising original points located at a first distance from the access point is generated. Each of the original points has a first predicted value. A distance is selected to place the two-dimensional radio coverage map at the target distance from the access point. Coordinates of map points of the two-dimensional radio coverage map are generated. Each of the map points corresponds to one of the original points. An offset value representing an attenuation due to the target distance being different than the first distance is computed. For each of the map points, a predicted received signal strength value is generated by adding the offset value to the first predicted value of the corresponding one of the original points. | 2014-07-24 |
20140206381 | POSITION ESTIMATION DEVICE, POSITION ESTIMATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - A position estimation device including: a provisional position setting unit which sets current position information indicating an estimated current position of a wireless terminal; a distance estimation unit which estimates, using receiving strengths of signals received from plural wireless stations, distance information indicating distances from the plural wireless stations to the wireless terminal; a possible area calculation unit which calculates, using the distance information and map information indicating a spatial structure, an area in the spatial structure which can maintain the distances indicated in the distance information, as a possible area in the spatial structure in which the wireless terminal is likely to be present; and a correction unit which corrects the current position indicated in the current position information to a position within the possible area when the current position is outside the possible area. | 2014-07-24 |
