Disclosed are systems and methods for a power management framework that can computationally minimize the power consumption of a device with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) enabled. The disclosed framework can analyze the operating characteristics of a device (e.g., applications executing, movement, battery level, signal strength and current battery consumption of the device, and the like), which can provide an indication of the device's need for updated location information, and determine a frequency for updating RTK. Thus, the disclosed framework provides computerized mechanisms for the automatic optimization between the need for an RTK power update and the device's capabilities for actually performing the update.

Example computer-implemented methods and systems for anomaly-sensing based multi-agent navigation are disclosed. One example computer-implemented method includes: receiving relative distance data specifying distance between at least one pair of agents of a plurality of agents, each of a first subset of the plurality of agents having an anomaly sensor subsystem; determining a set of relative pose vectors based at least in part on the relative distance data; receiving anomaly data from at least one anomaly sensor subsystem of one of the plurality of agents, obtaining pre-surveyed map data; determining global pose data of the plurality of agents based on the relative distance data and based on comparing the anomaly data to the pre-surveyed map data; and assigning a task to at least one of the plurality of agents based at least in part on a specialized operational capability of the at least one of the plurality of agents.

A mobile monitoring device for continual remote monitoring of a condition is provided. The device includes a sensor module for monitoring the condition and producing sensor module data relating to the condition. A first transceiver component receives network manager data from a local network manager and may transmit sensor module data to the network manager for remote monitoring by a server. An associator component compares the network manager data with the sensor module data. If they approximate each other, an association with the local network manager is established, during which geographical location data of the local network manager is included in the network manager data. The association is dissolved if the network manager data no longer approximates the sensor module data, after which an inertial navigation component incrementally estimates a geographical location of the monitoring device using the previously received geographical location data and subsequent sensor module inertial navigation data.

Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate and/or support one or more operations and/or techniques for improved Enhanced Long-Range Navigation (eLORAN) positioning via crowdsourcing, such as for use in or with mobile communication devices, for example.

The disclosure provides devices, systems, and methods for approximating the location of a mobile communication device. A base station transceiver (BTS) broadcasts assistance data across a control channel. The assistance data is received by a mobile communication device in communication with the BTS. The assistance data includes location information for the BTS, and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information associated with the BTS. The assistance data can be broadcast by incorporating these fields in a control channel between the BTS and the mobile communication device. A-GPS devices correlate the received assistance data with a GPS almanac in order to connect to a set of positioning satellites. Devices without a GPS receiver or devices unable to connect to a satellite correlate the received assistance data to a known approximate location, by referring to a database stored on the device or on the network.

A mobile monitoring device and related systems and methods for monitoring a condition to which an object is exposed are disclosed. The monitoring device includes a sensor module for monitoring the condition and periodically producing sensor module data relating to the condition and a microcontroller. The microcontroller includes a sensor data component for receiving the sensor module data from the sensor module and a first transceiver component for receiving network manager data from a local network manager local to the monitoring device. The microcontroller further includes an associator component for comparing the network manager data with the sensor module data and, if the network manager data approximates the sensor module data, establishing an association with the local network manager.
