Methods, systems, and computer program product for generating location fingerprint data for a venue are described. A sampling device surveying a venue can move inside the venue. While the sampling device moves, the sampling device can record environmental readings including, for example, strengths of signals from multiple radio signal sources. The sampling device can take the recording at fixed or various time intervals. Meanwhile, the sampling device can determine, based on a starting point and motion sensor readings, an estimated location of the mobile device for each time the sampling device takes the recordings. The sampling device can display a motion path of the estimated locations and a user interface item for receiving a user input for correcting the estimated locations. The sample device can tag the recorded environmental readings with the corrected locations, and submit the tagged readings to a server for determining a location fingerprint for the venue.

The present invention relates to a server, a method and a system for allowing a user terminal to receive and use a data capacity shared by a donor terminal, and provide a reward that is as much as the data capacity shared by the donor terminal and provide, to the user terminal, charging information corresponding to the use of data, thereby enabling a fair and meaningful compensation system.

A processing system may obtain values of carrier attributes for a new carrier to be deployed in a cellular network, obtain values of the carrier attributes and values of a configuration parameter for a plurality of existing carriers in the cellular network, and construct an attribute value matrix comprising the values of the carrier attributes for the plurality of existing carriers, where the attribute value matrix associates the carrier attributes to the plurality of existing carriers, apply a regression to a function associating the attribute value matrix to a vector of the values of the configuration parameter for the plurality of existing carriers to learn coefficients of the function, apply the coefficients to a vector comprising the values of the plurality of carrier attributes for the new carrier to generate a value of the configuration parameter for the new carrier, and apply the generated value to the new carrier.

A traditional data processing system is configured to process input data either in batch or in real-time. On one hand, a batch data processing system is limiting because the batch data processing often cannot take into account any data received during the batch data processing. On the other hand, a real-time data processing system is limiting because the real-time system often cannot scale. The real-time data processing system is often limited to dealing with primitive data types and/or a small amount of data. Therefore, it is desirable to address the limitations of the batch data processing system and the real-time data processing system by combining the benefits of the batch data processing system and the real-time data processing system into a single data processing system.

Methods and apparatus for using beacon signals are described. One or more sectorized base stations are used in some embodiments to transmit beacon signals into zones, e.g., each zone being at least partially covered by one or more beacon signals. Use of sectorized base stations allows a single base station, e.g., a Bluetooth or other base station capable of transmitting beacon signals, to cover a number of different zones avoiding the need for multiple different beacon transmitters at different locations to establish different beacon coverage areas. Sectorization of a Bluetooth base station and the ability to remotely or locally configure the base station allows for great flexibility to use beacon signals in stores or other locations without the need for numerous individual battery powered beacon transmitters at floor or display level.

A method for data transmission and a terminal device are provided. The method includes the following. A terminal device determines number of resource elements (REs) for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) in a second resource according to a first resource used for transmitting a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and the second resource indicated by the PSCCH and used for transmitting the PSSCH, where the first resource at least partially overlaps with the second resource. The terminal device determines a TBS for the PSSCH according to the number of the REs for the PSSCH.

The CPE includes one or more first antennas and a first broadband over powerline (BPL) interface. The CPE is configured to receive data from a remote device, send, via the first BPL interface, a first portion of the data over electrical wiring of the premise, and send, via the one or more first antennas, a second portion of the data. A router one or more second antennas and a second BPL interface. The router is configured to receive, via the second BPL interface, the first portion of the data, receive, via the one or more second antennas, the second portion of the data, and aggregate the first portion of the data and the second portion of the data to extend broadband services to the premise.
