In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of operating a radiotag with a communication platform of two or more supported communication platforms is provided. An application service of the radiotag instantiates a plurality of service stack threads. Each service stack thread determines whether bonding information for a communication platform associated with the service stack thread is stored in a service configuration data storage of the radiotag.

For each service stack thread, in response to determining that the bonding information for the communication platform associated with the service stack thread is not stored in the service configuration data storage, the service stack thread enters a waiting state; and in response to determining that the bonding information for the communication platform associated with the service stack thread is stored in the service configuration data storage, the service stack thread generates one or more beacons in a format for the associated communication platform.

An electronic device wirelessly communicates with an information processing device via a wireless communication unit and can operate at least in a first mode and in a second mode that is a state where power consumption is higher than in the first mode. The electronic device includes a direction information acquisition unit and a processor. The direction information acquisition unit acquires direction information about a direction of the information processing device in relation to a reference location of the electronic device by the wireless communication with the information processing device via the wireless communication unit. The processor performs at least one of a transition from the first mode to the second mode and a transition from the second mode to the first mode, based on the direction information.

An apparatus for a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus is to transmit a reference signal on a common set of resource elements (REs), the common set of resource elements being used by one or more further apparatuses in the wireless communication system, so that the reference signal of the apparatus and one or more further reference signals of the one or more further apparatuses use the same resource elements. Moreover, the apparatus is to transmit the reference signal depending on a base sequence or a sequence derived from the base sequence and depending on a set of configuration parameters.

One example includes a passive radar receiver system including an RF receiver front-end to receive a wireless source signal and a reflected signal. An antenna switch of the front-end switches a first antenna to a receiver chain during a first time to generate first radar signal data based on a combined wireless signal comprising wireless source signal and the reflected signal, and switches a second antenna to the receiver chain during a second time to generate second radar signal data based on the combined wireless signal. A signal processor generates source signal data associated with the wireless source signal based on the first and second radar signal data and generates reflected signal data associated with the reflected signal based on the first and second radar signal data, and generates target radar data associated with a target based on the source and reflected radar signal data.

A method of operating a smart manufacturing system includes a beacon device borne by a user's appendage broadcasting beacon signals indicative of the appendage's location during assembly of a part within a manufacturing facility. A network of radio-frequency transceivers located within the manufacturing facility receives the beacon signals; a system controller uses the beacon signals to derive an appendage path with a stop location and stop time of the appendage when performing a manual task during part assembly. The controller retrieves a part-specific build plan that contains a predefined stop location and stop time for assembling the part. The controller detects a task error when the task's stop location differs from the predefined stop location and/or the task's stop time differs from the predefined stop time. Responsive to the detected error, the controller commands a system component to output an audible, visual, and/or tactile alert indicative of the task error.

Systems, devices, and methods for preemptively resolving audio and video issues when multiple devices join the same conference from the same room. The systems, devices, and methods include automatically configuring conference features of the devices based on detected proximity with other devices participating in the same conference. A first device receives identifiers indicating a conference that a second device has joined from a particular location. The first device also receives a request to join the conference with the first device at the particular location, and configures the conference features in response to the request to join the conference that the second device has joined from the same particular location. Configuring the conference features includes modifying a conference feature on the first device to not conflict with the conference feature on the second device.

This invention relates to a method for determining radio navigation beacons for an aircraft. The method is implemented by an electronic determination device and comprises the following steps: selection of an N-tuple of beacon identifiers, N being greater than or equal to 2, from an estimated position of the aircraft; and provision of the selected N-tuple to an electronic calculation device, for calculating a new estimated position of the aircraft from the N beacons corresponding to the N identifiers of the selected N-tuple.1. During the selection step, the N-tuple is selected from a set of admissible N-tuples, obtained by means of the implementation of an artificial intelligence algorithm, the artificial intelligence algorithm receiving as input the estimated position of the aircraft and providing as output the set of admissible N-tuples.
