Techniques are provided for positioning of user equipment (UE) with paging messages. An example method for positioning a user equipment with paging messages includes receiving a positioning paging message with a user equipment in an idle state, measuring positioning measurements in response to receiving the positioning paging message, determining location information based at least in part on the positioning measurements, and transmitting the location information via a random access procedure.

The present disclosure relates to a global resource locator tag and methods of using the same. A semiconductor chip can include a processor and a micro sized timing device. The semiconductor chip can generate a timing signal. The global resource locator tag can include a blockchain and a memory in logical communication with the processor. The processor can determine a cryptographic hash of a previous block of events in the blockchain. The processor can determine an respective inventory status of nearby labels. The processor can compile a data set with the respective inventory status of each of the nearby labels and the cryptographic hash of the previous block. The processor can record a next event of the events in a next block of the blockchain. The next event can include the data set.

A solution for providing user equipment (UE) location information during an emergency call (e.g., an E911 call) includes: detecting an emergency call originating from the UE; determining a location of the UE; based on at least detecting the emergency call originating from the UE, transmitting the location of the UE across a cellular network to an emergency monitoring node (e.g., a public safety answering points (PSAP) and/or a gateway mobile location center (GMLC)); and based on at least detecting the emergency call originating from the UE, transmitting the location of the UE across a packet data network (e.g., the internet, using a data plan) to the emergency monitoring node. This provides an alternate path for the location information, and some examples use a larger set of location information sources. In some examples, during the emergency call, based on available battery power, the UE location information may be updated.

Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a method for navigating a user vehicle may include acquiring, using at least one image capture device, a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of the user vehicle; determining from the plurality of images a first lane constraint on a first side of the user vehicle and a second lane constraint on a second side of the user vehicle opposite to the first side of the user vehicle; enabling the user vehicle to pass a target vehicle if the target vehicle is determined to be in a lane different from the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling; and causing the user vehicle to abort the pass before completion of the pass, if the target vehicle is determined to be entering the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling.

A system and method for tracking actions of mobile assets used to perform a process within a facility includes a plurality of object trackers positioned throughout the facility to monitor, detect and digitize locations and actions, including movement, of a mobile asset within the facility. The mobile asset includes an identifier which is detectable by each object tracker to track the movement and location of the detected asset in real time. Each object tracker includes at least one sensor for monitoring and detecting the asset and its identifier, where the input sensed by the sensor is transmitted to a computer within the object tracker for time stamping with a detected time, and processing of the sensor input using one or more algorithms to identify the asset type associated with the detected identifier, and the asset's location in the facility at the detected time.

A method at an asset tracking device, the method including activating a receiver at the asset tracking device; obtaining an intelligent transportation system message using the receiver; determining a position from the intelligent transportation system message; and reporting the determined position to a remote server.

5G and especially 6G are intended to accommodate high-speed mobile user devices and access points such as wireless devices on trains and airplanes, while retaining enhanced mobile broadband eMBB service. Therefore, new resource-efficient, low-complexity procedures are needed for measuring and correcting the Doppler frequency shift. To assist user devices, a base station or access point can periodically broadcast a current geographical location of the base station or access point in a localization message. In some embodiments, the geographical location data can be included in a periodically broadcast system information message, such as unused space of a SSB (synchronization signal block) message or an SIB1 (first system information block) message. User devices can then determine a vector toward the base station or access point relative to the user device location and velocity, and thereby calculate a Doppler correction without a frequency scan or other overhead, according to some embodiments.

The present invention is a method and system to verify carpool occupancy compliance for access to High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, High Occupancy or Toll (HOT) lanes, or other vehicle-occupancy contingent rewards. The present invention uses software and hardware devices with radio-frequency transmitter modules to capture one or more photo images of vehicle occupants and to perform boxed headcounts of humans in any given photo frame. The present invention uses biometric signature detection to confirm the boxed headcounts and a realness algorithm to further confirm the genuineness of any human image. Occupancy compliance can be communicated directly to an appropriate regulatory body.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to identifying points of interest by generating and storing virtual geofence information that is captured around a physical structure based in part on global positioning system (GPS) data from a plurality of devices that is then processed to identify GPS trajectory and kernel density estimation. Specifically, the techniques include receiving, at the network-based control computer, GPS data from a plurality of devices and grouping the GPS data from the plurality of devices to generate GPS trajectory information for each group of the plurality of devices. Based on the GPS trajectory information, the network-based control computer may calculate kernel density estimation and determine an isoline on a virtual map for the each group of the plurality of devices. By overlaying the isoline data on a geographic coordinate information of a physical structure, the network-based control computer may generate a virtual geofence around the physical structure and store, in a memory, geofence information for the facility.

This document describes techniques and systems for indoor localization using Bluetooth high-accuracy distance measurement (HADM). In examples, the described systems and techniques perform a signal-strength scan to identify multiple anchor points and then pair, based on the signal-strength scan, the tagged device with a first anchor point of the identified anchor points. A HADM time slot is set for the first anchor point and at least two additional anchor points of the identified anchor points. A HADM event is initiated, the HADM event including sending a HADM ping and receiving HADM responses from two or more of the identified anchor points. Based on at least a time of receipt of HADM responses received from the two or more of the identified anchor points, the location of the tagged device is calculated.
