Techniques for detecting and presenting rewards for presence are disclosed. Presence of a mobile device within a building is detected based on a plurality of triggers including a degradation of a first signal and a concurrent improvement of a second signal. The triggers are identified by a client-side application of the mobile device or a corresponding server-side processor with which the client-side application is in communication and from which the client-side application is configured to automatically receive available rewards. In response to detecting presence within the building, the server-side processor determines that a user of the mobile device is eligible for a reward, and the reward is provided to the user via the client-side application at the mobile device.

A transceiver for a wireless communication system is configured to: communicate with at least one other transceiver of the system using a sidelink resource pool of the system; transmit signals on resources of the pool that are allocated to the transceiver on a period basis with equal length periods t.sub.periodA; transmit a first signal on a first resource of the resources allocated to the transceiver, and receive a second signal from another transceiver of the system on a second resource, the second signal being transmitted by the other transceiver responsive to a reception of the first signal, the second signal being transmitted by the other transceiver on the second resource using the period t.sub.periodA based on which the resources are allocated to the transceiver; determine a distance to the other transceiver based on a time t.sub.roundA between the transmission of the first signal and the reception of the second signal from the other transceiver, and based on the period t.sub.periodA based on which the resources are allocated to the transceiver.

Techniques for wirelessly receiving, at a mobile device, information related to another mobile device determined to be in a line of sight relative to the mobile device, are presented. In an aspect, a method includes, determining by a first mobile device, a location of a mobile object determined to be in a line of sight relative to the first mobile device, and wirelessly receiving descriptive information associated with a second mobile device having a location substantially corresponding to the location of the mobile object.

A mobile device is configured for determining a position of the mobile device within buildings, the mobile device including: one or more motion sensors; one or more proximity sensors; a relative feature spot map establishing module; wherein the relative feature spot map establishing module is configured for transmitting the one or more relative feature spot maps to an absolute coordinates determining module configured for determining absolute coordinates of the mobile device; wherein the absolute coordinates determining module is configured for determining the absolute coordinates of the position of the mobile device by determining to which absolute feature spot map of the absolute feature spot maps the one or more relative feature spot map correspond.

A signal processing system is provided. The signal processing system includes a transmission architecture configured to transmit first and second signals, and a receiver architecture including an antenna configured to receive the signals, and a coherent signal fusion processing device communicatively coupled to the antenna. The processing device is configured to generate a broadband analog signal that contains the first and second signals, digitize the broadband analog signal, isolate first and second signals of interest, estimate, relative to a reference template, at least one of a time difference of arrival and a frequency difference of arrival for at least one of the first and second signals of interest, and determine a location of at least one of the transmission architecture and the receiver architecture based on the estimated at least one of a time difference of arrival and a frequency difference of arrival.

A system includes a plurality of vehicle-deployed wireless transmitters and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, from a mobile device, signal strengths of signals from the wireless transmitters as detected by the mobile device. The processor is further configured to determine a location of the mobile device in a vehicle, based on the distance from the mobile device to each of the respective transmitters, as indicated by the received signal strengths and store the location of the mobile device as an occupant location.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for classifying traffic flow using a plurality of learning machines arranged in multiple hierarchical levels. A first learning machine may classify a first portion of the input stream as malicious based on a match with first classification rules, and a second learning machine may classify at least part of the first portion of the input stream as malicious based on a match with second classification rules. The at least part of the first portion of the input stream may be classified as malicious based on the matches in the first and second learning machines.

The transmission system transmits an encrypted identifier ultrasonically in an open-air environment using an ultrasonic transmitter. The ultrasonic identifier is associated with a location, which may be a store or a department within a store, and may be received by a microphone on a mobile phone. The identifier may be used to infer presence of the mobile phone user at the location associated with the identifier. The transmitter may include an ultrasonic transducer. The system may further provide a reward, responsive to inferring presence at the location.

Systems and methods for determining user equipment (UE) locations within a wireless network using reference signals of the wireless network are described. The disclosed systems and methods utilize a plurality of in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) samples generated from signals provided by receive channels associated with two or more antennas of the wireless system. Based on received reference signal parameters the reference signal within the signals from each receive channel among the receive channels is identified. Based on the identified reference signal from each receive channel, an angle of arrival between a baseline of the two or more antennas and incident energy from the UE to the two or more antennas is determined. That angle of arrival is then used to calculate the location of the UE. The angle of arrival may be a horizontal angle of arrival and/or a vertical angle of arrival

The present disclosure relates to a method and an electronic device for measuring a position of the electronic device. The method includes identifying radio stations of different communication networks based on different communication signals transmitted from the radio stations, identifying at least one grid in a plurality of grids corresponding to the identified radio stations, and identifying the position of the electronic device based on the identified at least one grid, wherein the plurality of grids correspond to a plurality of areas generated on a basis of intensities of the different communication signals.
