According to certain embodiments, a method for use in a first node comprises receiving a first resolution factor (k) from a second node, adapting the first resolution factor (k) to obtain a second resolution factor (k′), and reporting a measurement to the second node according to the second resolution factor (k′).

An embodiment includes at least one computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to: receive (a)(i) first radio signal location data for a first object from a radio sensor; and (a)(ii) first visual signal location data for the first object from a camera sensor; perform feature extraction on (b)(i) the first radio signal location data to determine first extracted radio signal features; and (b)(ii) the first visual signal location data to determine first extracted visual signal features; solve a first association problem between the first extracted radio signal features and the first extracted visual signal features to determine first fused location data; and store the first fused location data in the at least one computer readable storage medium. Other embodiments are described herein.

A method and apparatus for providing trouble isolation are disclosed. For example, the method monitors a plurality of sessions for a user group for detecting an abnormal cause code associated with the user group, determines a root cause for the abnormal cause code when a deviation is determined to have occurred for the cause code of the user group, wherein the root cause identifies either an issue associated with the communications network or an issue associated with user endpoint devices of the user group, and generates a ticket indicating the root cause.

A method for IP [=Internet Protocol] communication between a mobile terminal and its correspondent node in a mobile radio network. The method comprises establishing an IP connection between the mobile terminal and its correspondent node. After detecting a period of inactivity in the IP connection, keep-alive messages are sent via the IP connection at predetermined intervals, which are varied. The method comprises monitoring the lengths of several periods of inactivity at which the mobile radio network disconnects the IP connection.

A method, according to one embodiment, includes receiving, at a device, preference information from a user; identifying a selection, by the user, of a predetermined page to be displayed by the device; in response to the identifying of the selection, retrieving content via a network connection based on the preference information, the content including one or more articles selected by a content provider based on the preference information; automatically designing a layout of one or more objects associated with the retrieved content for display on the device; and outputting the retrieved content on the predetermined page of the device.

A device comprising: a transceiver operable in a first or second mode and configured to receive packets from a remote device, each packet comprising an indication of whether or not the remote device has a further packet to transmit, wherein: in the first mode the transceiver: (i) sends a polling message in response to receiving the indication of a further packet for transmission; and (ii) listens for that further packet; and in the second mode the transceiver: (i) does not send a polling message in response to receiving the indication of a further packet for transmission; and (ii) listens for packets regardless of whether a received packet indicates that there is a further packet to transmit or not; and a controller configured to monitor an activity level for the transceiver and cause the transceiver to operate in the first or second mode in dependence on the activity level.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal capable of predicting fluctuation in communication quality. The mobile terminal according to the present invention uses terminal information consisting of position/orientation/speed/component operation/control command information/camera information/sensor information, and the like of the mobile terminal to model a relationship with communication quality and predict the communication quality using the obtained communication quality prediction model. When fluctuations in communication quality can be predicted, it is possible to cope with the fluctuations (especially deterioration) in communication quality in advance (for example, to change a communication destination station, to decrease a data rate in an application, or to change a control mode of a terminal to a safer mode, by knowing in advance deterioration in quality of a radio signal).
