A vehicle control method according to an embodiment includes selecting a target vehicle to share low-level sensor information with based on the low-level sensor information obtained by a host vehicle and information on a structure included in high-definition map information, and receiving low-level sensor information of the structure from the target vehicle to update a sensor data map of the host vehicle, and performing map matching with the high-definition map information through feature points of a road extracted based on the updated sensor data map.

Disclosed are techniques for performing wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may identify a plurality of sidelink positioning anchor devices. Based on one or more parameters associated with each of the plurality of sidelink positioning anchor devices, the wireless communication device may associate with one or more sidelink positioning anchor devices from the plurality of sidelink positioning anchor devices.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.

In an aspect, an initiator transmits a positioning reference signal. The initiator receives a plurality of responder positioning reference signals sent from individual responders of a plurality of responders. The initiator transmits a measurement message comprising a first set of measurements that are determined based on the positioning reference signal and the plurality of responder positioning reference signals. The initiator receives responder measurement messages sent from the individual responders of the plurality of responders. The initiator receives updated map information from an anchor and updates pre-existing map information based on the updated map information.

Vehicles in traffic are expected to communicate wirelessly, to avoid collisions and facilitate the flow of traffic. Unfortunately, in 5G and 6G, the process of finding a wireless address of a specific vehicle is slow and difficult. Disclosed is a “connectivity matrix”, an emblem that vehicles can display, showing a pattern of black and white squares that forms a unique code. Another vehicle can autonomously read the code and look up the wireless address in a tabulation. The tabulation relates each code to the relevant wireless address, and optionally other information about the vehicle. The two vehicles can then transfer messages, including emergency messages, without delay. At freeway speeds, this can save lives. A central entity maintains the tabulation, ensuring that each wireless address is associated with a unique connectivity matrix code. Roadside companies and access points can also display a connectivity matrix, promote communication with prospective customers.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for automating a collaborative operation between an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) and an intelligent transportation management (ITM) system includes receiving, via a detection tag attached to the IES shoe structure, a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module communicatively connected to a traffic system controller of the ITM system. In reaction to the received prompt signal, the detection tag transmits a response signal to the transmitter-detector module. The traffic system controller uses the response signal to determine a location of the IES's user, and the current operating state of a traffic signal proximate the user's location. The traffic system controller transmits a command signal to the traffic signal to switch from the current operating state to a new operating state.

A computer is programmed to determine a localization of a first vehicle, including location coordinates and an orientation of the first vehicle, based on first vehicle sensor data, and to wirelessly receive localizations of respective second vehicles, wherein a first vehicle field of view at least partially overlaps respective fields of view of each of the second vehicles. The computer is programmed to determine pair-wise localizations for respective pairs of the first vehicle and one of the second vehicles, wherein each of the pair-wise localizations defines a localization of the first vehicle relative to a global coordinate system based on a (a) relative localization of the first vehicle with reference to the respective second vehicle and (b) a second vehicle localization relative to the global coordinate system, and to determine an adjusted localization for the first vehicle that has a minimized sum of distances to the pair-wise localizations.

An information processing system includes a first information processing apparatus (10A) that estimates a self-position of a first mobile body, and a second information processing apparatus that estimates a self-position of a second mobile body. The first information processing apparatus (10A) includes a movement control unit (12B) that performs control for moving, based on observation target information indicating a probability of the first mobile body being observed from the second mobile body, the first mobile body to a position where the second mobile body is capable of observing the first mobile body, an acquiring unit (12C) that acquires correction information capable of specifying relative positions of the first mobile body and the second mobile body from the second mobile body that has observed the first mobile body, and a correcting unit (12D) that corrects the self-position of the first mobile body based on the correction information. The second information processing apparatus includes an observing unit that observes a first mobile body around a second mobile body, and a providing unit that provides the correction information capable of specifying relative positions of the observed first mobile body and the second mobile body to the first information processing apparatus of the first mobile body.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, from a first antenna and a second antenna of a mobile device, a first wireless signal transmitted by a first anchor of a pair of anchors, receiving, from the first antenna and the second antenna, a second wireless signal that is transmitted by a second anchor of the pair of anchors based upon the second anchor detecting the first wireless signal, determining time difference of arrival information based on the receiving the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal, determining angle of arrival information based on the receiving the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal, and estimating a location of the mobile device based on the time difference of arrival information and the angle of arrival information.
